That’s A Wrap (Filming Production Blog)

 Dearest reader, Today was the second day of filming. Since today was not a  school day, we started filming earlier. Due to the fact that we are meeting at Alexandra's house, l woke up at 8:30. I live out west, about 40 minutes from the school. Alexandra lives out east about 20 minutes from the school.  Last night when I got home from filming and finished all my homework, I went straight to bed. This meant that on top of my usual morning routine, I had to shower. I hopped in the shower as soon as I woke up and got my day going. After eating breakfast, I did my hair and got in my costume. Almost late, I ran out the door to head to Alexandra’s house. When I arrived, we were waiting on one teammate. Something family related came up and there was a delay. Similar to yesterday’s filming, those of us who were there made sure we were looking ready to film and had the cameras set up. Once everyone was present, we got cracking on the scene where we are driving off to start the tri...

Critical Creative Reflection

 Dearest reader,  Below is a link to a doc, and the content covered in it. The questions I answered helped me reflect on my journey as a director! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f99Zxe9TF1Skygs_bsfs9vrMeSfoQq8DNGD9Rjq4AlY/edit “How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?” My music video focuses on the conventional breakup as it is usually portrayed in the media. The idea of this video was to challenge the idea that people always recover from breakups quickly and in this powerful self assurance montage. It is all too common in film, TV, and even music videos for a character to go through a short period of mourning over a breakup and then have their magical redemption montage. Even within the original music video for this song, the main character ends the video as a successful author and the guy is seen watching her “come back”. However, I think that this ideal situation neglects the real pain and hardship of a break...

Saturday Night Fever (Production Blog)

 Dearest reader,  Today, I got the crazy idea to do homework all day and then save editing for the evening. That was a mistake. Despite my exhaustion, my computer was willing to work even if my brain wasn’t. I started by making sure I had all my pictures and video footage uploaded. Luckily everything was on my computer.  I began researching how to drop only certain parts of videos into HitFilm Express. This was quite difficult so I decided to crop the video content on my phone first. My method of editing partially on my phone first proved smart. Editing within the photos app made the process within HitFilm Express easier.  Looking back, using HitFilm Express was likely more of a mistake than a plus. The platform is amazing and provides a lot of tools to make films look really advanced. However, since I had scarcely worked with this before, it was a steep learning curve for a tight turn around. Despite the abundance of tools, my film is still not looking up to my stan...
