Planning for my Music Video

  1. Song: “Africa” By: Toto Props: For our video, we plan to showcase people hanging out at a park. To do this we will bring bicycles, sports balls, and other possible props that one would use to have fun with at a park. Costumes: We have decided to wear casual clothes but specifically something with long sleeves as we feel it will better suit the song. One thing we did specifically decide upon though was wearing tennis shoes as they would still be comfortable to wear at a park but also will fit the mood of the song and the video. Schedule: The week of 11/15 we were planning out our project and still making the major decision, as well as conducting research about the rock industry in general. The week of 11/22 will be thanksgiving break and we intend to begin filming and editing throughout that week as we will have little other work for other classes. The week of 11/29 will be the final editing period and getting ready to submit our project. Location: Our main choice of location is the park at The Lakes of Emerald Hills neighborhood, as Alex's grandparents live there and it is a nice location for such a video. We also plan to use Alex's house for a few short clips but the majority will be filmed at the park. Backup Plan: Our backup plan is to film in the study of my house. A scene of life moving along as we do different things within Alex's house. Though it is not ideal, it will work.

Pitching Some Ideas!

Pitch #1: “A film about two ordinary high school girls that live a secret double life as agent spies for the United States of America.”      We plan to show two girls first getting ready for high school. We would film these scenes in a group member’s house. We would also have to film scenes of the girls in their spy outfits and performing stunts. This would be hard to do as we would have to use actors who can do stunts. We would also need to use a green screen to show the actresses leaping from building to building.  This may be difficult to set up and require purchasing a green screen.  Pitch #2: “A man tries to provide for his family by stealing from a convenience store, but he ends up getting caught in the act by law enforcement.”      We plan to have one person walk into the store. This scene would be hard to recreate in an actual convenience store, so we would need to find a replacement location which would most likely be a group member's h...

Production: Fixing it up!

Image
    Today my partners and I wanted to make changes to the editing based off of our film review. So we joined a discord call right after school and started saying what each of the people we reviewed said.     Christians' parents said that the scenes could have looked more professional and less like we were messing around filming. Since we are only editing today I can't fix that so I left it till later. His parents also said that we should make the film brighter as details like the costume and landscape were hard to see. So I quickly fixed it by making it brighter so everything could be seen well.     Alexs' sister told him that the camera work could have looked smoother and that there was some shakiness seen when she watched it. We know that this would be a problem. So we want to re-film those few scenes as soon as possible.     I then told my groupmates what my sister and mom said about the film. My sister said that the effects looked weird and sh...

Editing Blog: Continuing the pro

Image
     As I opened up Davinci Resolve, I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension wash over me. I knew that we had a lot of work to do on our short film and that the editing process could be a challenging and time-consuming one. But as I located our project file and began sorting through the footage, I became increasingly immersed in the story we were trying to tell.      However, as I worked my way through the different shots and scenes, I quickly realized that some of them needed to be stronger. In particular, I noticed that some of the shots needed proper lighting, which made it challenging to capture the intended mood and atmosphere. This realization made me appreciate the importance of lighting in filmmaking, as it can truly make or break a scene.      Because of this, I had to spend a lot of extra time editing those particular shots to try and enhance the lighting and create a more compelling visual experience for the audience. I exp...
