Hello, Welcome back! On 4/2 we got together to film more. We filmed for 3 hours. We filmed from 4-7. Since I lived far, I couldn’t stay for that long. Our original date was on 4/1 but we had some mix ups so we had to move the date around. During this recording session we recorded two more of the scenes we needed, leaving us with only 2 more left. We recorded the sandwich scene, and the victim walking out the house scene. The victim scene was easy to record and took us less than 5 tries to get right. We wanted to use a pan for this scene. The ended resulted ended up looking pretty cool in my opinion. The sandwich scene  was a bit more complicated. We had a hard time establishing the angles. We kept changing our minds on what angles would look better and had to record over again over a few mistakes. We didn’t argue over the angles, but we did have a few disagreements.When we went back to look at what we recorded we noticed the camera was a bit shaky  and the lighting was a little too dark. The lighting we used in our first few recordings made it hard to see what was going on. we went back and fixed it by adding a small light source using a flashlight. The end result for the sandwich scene was okay. I personally think we could have used a bit more higher angles to show more of what was going on. I’m sure the scene will look better once it’s edited. With that, we are one step closer to finish filming. Hopefully we can plan our next filming session soon.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
