Production Blog (The "set up").....

 

Hey scholars, welcome back to my blog!!! In my last blog I introduced my upcoming “YOU” project. It’s a commercial that represents me, my interests, and portrays some of my personality. To produce this project, I want to structure it so it can seem professionally made. I also want to keep it interesting/entertaining. For the set up, my first video will be an outdoor background (I haven't figured out where yet). This is to add a kind of natural scenery to the commercial. The video I plan on including, will be of me giving a brief summary about the myself. I like to call it my fake Ted Talk :) The angle that I plan on using is a long shot, displaying me as I give my small speech. I want to use this angle because it centers the viewers attention. There will be multiple jump shots, showing photos of myself over the years and a couple memes. I was thinking about doing a voice-over for one portion of the commercial but I'm not sure where to place that section yet. For now, I want to focus on using Diegetic sound and sound motif to piece together my speech then get into the photos (que marching band music in the background). When editing the photos in, I will use the split screen technique to display multiple photos at once. The video of myself will be shot from my iphone camera. I will edit the camera's saturation and brightness to give it a glow effect. I will attempt to put the camera in portrait mode for the video, because I like the effect it gives. Because this is an individual project I am going to use a tripod, that way it'll be easier to record myself. The tripod will be set up at a certain distance, so I am able to get the angle that I want. There is still much work to do with this set up. Depending on the length of my small talk, I would say this is about 35 seconds into my commercial. Stay tuned for the next production blog. Thank you for reading my muddled ideas, until next time >3 !!

Yours Truly, A. LaFrance ;)

Production Blog...a word from our peers

Image
  Welcome back scholars to your favorite blog!!! Last time we began taking in peer reviews to make our final task a full success. Being able to get reviews from our peers really helps us look into any things we may have missed. Some things that needed to be fixed were the transitions. Many of our peers stated, they enjoyed our sequence but the transitions were a bit fast. "I feel like you can make your transitions a bit slower, so the viewers can take in the full screen set" I agreed, making the transitions too fast may cause viewers confusion or not enough time to assess the scene. There were a couple of critiques on our acting skills. I was shocked when a peer stated our acting was "pretty good". In personally thought otherwise, but it felt really good to know. Another critique we received was our opening shot. In the beginning it was at a certain angle, making it hard to see the content. With some help, we were able to fix this. Viewers have a better understandin...

Planning Blog: Locations, Participants, Health, Schedule

Hey lovelies!! Welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need....

Title Research: Dead Silence

  Hey scholars, welcome back.  The film that I chose to analyze is Dead Silence because it is a great representation of how a horror film should be.  The website I used wa s   Art of the Title What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?   The  titles  that are displayed  first  is the title of the film. It is in red  and has  a spooky looking font to add to the way that the movie is horror. The next titles  are from who made the film and a brief description of what to expect. Then it goes into naming everyone who helped contribute  to  making the film happen like the actors and what not.    What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images that are prioritized look like scenes from out the movie. They are images that give a feel f or what will happen in the movie without fully telling what exactly is going on. The movie is on a marionette that is very haunting and the image of...
