 Filming blog: the park

On December 11th  my group and I got together to film. For our filming location we choose a park since it fit the mood of our song. I was in charge of filming. I filmed everything on my phone. We didn’t have that many scenes missing since we had already previously recorded. We walked around the park while I filmed George and Juliana. There was a few times we had to re do  the recording because of the lighting. George and Julianna walked around the park acting out everything on the story board and I followed filming. It was a bit difficult to match their walking speed and to  record steadily but I managed. There were times where they would walk away too fast and didn’t give me enough time to walk back to them. Regardless of everything by the end of the day we had all but one clip that we needed. After we finished filming me and my group walked to Dairy Queen where we got ice cream. All the recordings were on my phone so I was in charge of sending them to Julianna so they could edit while they were in Brazil. At first I tried to email the pictures to them but unfortunately the videos were too long. I had to crop them and send them all individually. It was a tedious and annoying process. All of the videos were about +3 minutes long and they all had to be cropped to be less than a minute. Although they were all long videos not everything in them were going to be used. A lot of the videos I sent/took were back ups in case the Maine clips came out wrong. Since this is the only chance to film with Julianna here we had to have more than one clip in case something went wrong.

Genre conventions blog: action

 The action genre is one where the main character is thrown through a series of obstacles such as physical feats, combats, and chases. Its subgenres include adventure and disaster among others. Common Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots: During emotional scenes, Extreme close-ups shots eye levels angles are common to show internal turmoil High angles and low angles are especially used to establish that clear good guy / bad guy convention that is common in action films. Extreme long shots will be used to establish the scenes and locations. Tracking, especially using a dolly, is common to follow fight scenes to create intensity in the movement. Common Mis-En-Sen:Often set in disheveled or clinically perfect settings; at one extreme or the otherThe lighting dims depending on emotion; darker if a negative emotion.Props :accurate to the time period and location, but often include weaponry such as guns, swords, etc. Actors and characters are often dirty or spotless, portraying a serious tone

 For this group project, I will be working with the team I have been working with since the beginning of the year. We are all in the  same grade and have been friends since last year. I am working with George, Julianna, and Jean. I choose to work with this team again because they have good work ethnics. They are all very hard working people and I am glad to be working with them for this project. I am extremely excited to be able to share this experience with them. They all have their own unique traits, they’re motivated to do the best they can and complete work as fast as they can. They  are good at problem solvers and get along well with each other. I’ve known all of them for about a year or so. We are working together but are in different classes. Jean and I take media 2nd period and George and Juliana are in 5th period. This hasn’t been much of an obstacle at all though, except sometimes for communication. We always get our work done on time though.There has been a few times however

 For our music video, my group decided to do a song called “Just The Two of Us” by Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers. As this song falls under the R&B genre, the targeted audience, at least in the modern age, is African-Americans (due to the history of R&B with that community), as well as the younger people of the world, mostly adolescents to young adults. - R&B music videos typically attempt to catch the audience sense of attraction. - Older R&B music videos showed men as sophisticated and charming, wearing suits, which attracted to the female audience. - Modern R&B music videos show men as attractive and strong. Most men in modern R&B are tattooed and shirtless, attracting most younger women and showing themselves as strong and wealthy. - The artists in modern R&B also have outfits which include, but aren’t limited to: no shirt, or some plain shirt, a strapped back hat, and some sort of dark pants. This gives the look of a stereotypical “person of col
