Intro blog

 The people are I have chosen to work with is Jocelyn Colone and Jayda Moimeme. I have chosen to work with them because I have known them for a long time and we have been friends since freshman year. I trust that they are responsible and do their work. Teamwork is very important in these type of projects. Since it is a project where we could share the work and each one of us has a particular task to do to complete the project, they are really good people to work with. Also, another benefit is that we get along so there won't be any complications on agreeing with certain things when completing the music video. The song we chose to do is "beggin' on you knees" by Victoria Justice. This is a song from one my childhood tv shows "victorious." It is a song that "Tori" from the show writes to a guy that used her just to get a good grade on an assignment. Tori finds out and performs this totally new different song that he didn't know about. In this song, she calls him out for being a player since he had used many other girls before her just to get good grades. We chose this song because it is a very fun song to do. The lyrics of the song are fun and also provides creativity that we could all input into the music video. This song also allows us to, in some way, travel back to when we were little and used to watch this show. This lets us enjoy it while completing the project. It also requires quite a few people to work in the music video when filming so it makes it even more fun to work with a wide variety of other people instead of just 1 or 2. This song also requires different sets which will make it even more creative to do and make. And, since it is a childhood song, it will require different and fun costumes. This all allows us to have fun while doing this project which helps us to give our best.

Resuming the editing process

Image
Continuing with our film, my group and I have have started editing each of our scenes. There are a total of 60 scenes. Each one of us has at least 12 scenes to edit. Even though there are a few scenes yet to be shot, we have begun to edit the scenes that are completed since there are quite a few. As for me, I have 12 scenes to edit. Beginning with the sharpening knives scene and ending with the mother making tea from the kettle. The first scene that I edited was the knives scene. This scene consisted of a close up shot of the knives indicating that the evil mother is prepping to get on with her sinister plan. Therefore, this scene has a great amount of tensión and suspense as the audience is viewing the dangerous weapon the mom is using for her plan. Which is why I made the lighting of this scene be low key lighting to créate the suspense within the scene. I also made the scene a bit in slow motion to emphasize the mother sharpening the knvies. As for sound, I inserted an eerie creepy ...

Editing process

Image
As the filming journey continues, my group and I have still not finished filming. We have about 3 scenes to film to be able to complete the movie. The scene where Emily and her friend go into the house, the scene where the mom makes Emily fall asleep with the tea, and the ending scene. As I begin my editing process, I am currently still looking over the scenes that I have to edit. I am not able to edit at this moment due to the fact that I am in a different country because of an emergency last minute trip. As I am looking over the scenes, I am writing down ideas to make the film more creative. Also, I am writing down what needs to be edited, for example, what needs to be cut out from the scene. One of my scenes is where the mom is sharpening the knvies. In my opinion, that scene needs to have a bit of low key lighting added along with creepy eerie music since those are dangerous weapons and it leaves the audience at the edge of their set. The next scene is the scene where Emily and Jan...

Filming Review

Image
 My group and I have taken a pause from filming. The last day we filmed was Tuesday, March 23. The next day we film will be the last since we have completed most of the film. To better prepare for our next filming session, I am currently reviewing my role and lines. This way, it will be easier not only for me but for my group. This will help us to not have to reshoot the scene multiple times and take more time than needed. In the scenes that are yet to be filmed, my character has many lines and the acting has to be adeuqate. The scene where Emily drinks the tea, she has to faint and act weak. Practice makes perfect so the more I practice my lines and character, the more unchallenging things will go. Also, I have been looking into the story board my group and I completed. I have crossed out or set aside the scenes we have already completed in the storyboard. I have marked the ones we haven't. Thing I noticed while at our filming sessions was that we tended to look back at the storyb...
