Production blog


Hello! I think it’s time I start giving a bit more propped introductions to these blogs. Today I am writing about what we are doing currently. Since we are unsure of when we will be able to record again, due to our scheduling issues. We decided to start editing the clips we have. Although we don’t hav all the clips we need for the indoor portion of the film. We have enough for us to work with. Now I have never used an editing software, so I am completely inexperienced. That’s why our editor is Julianna! She edited on of our previous films and it turned out fantastic. So we have quite a bit of faith in her. Besides that, me and my group are looking for the sound we’re going to use. Sound is essential in horror films, especially for this project. Our script has all the places where we need a sound written down. So luckily for us, it was just a matter if finding the perfect sound. Sound is essential for creating suspense and plays a very important role. We look on YouTube and other video sharing platforms for the sounds we needed. Whenever we found one we liked, we would save it. Then we all sent our sounds to our group chat and voted on the sound er felt fit the best. We didn’t just need scary noises tho, we had to find sounds for doors opening, Floors creaking, wind blowing , footsteps, etc. overall, I’d say this was a fun experience. I enjoyed looking for sounds and think we found some goof ones. I look forward to continuing to work on this. That is all, for now. Thank you for reading.

 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
