I will work independently on this project. I chose to work by myself because I would not want to partner up with someone or join a group and have to rely on them to do their part. Working with partners can be difficult, because everyone will not always agree with one another. In some cases, small disagreements between the group can negatively affect the entire project. Also, it would be difficult to film with a group because I am still at home e-learning. I would not feel comfortable meeting with a partner or a group to film because of how easily coronavirus can spread. In addition, since the beginning of the school year I have been learning online at home and I have not made any new connections with my classmates. So I do not know how reliable or unreliable my peers are therefore I would rather take the safe bet and work independently. Working alone gives me more creative space and I don’t have to worry about who will agree with my idea or not. This is a one minute music video that I know I am capable of creating on my own. The song I want to use for this project is “Umbrella” by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z. I chose this song because it is one of the first songs that came to mind. At first, I had a little trouble trying to find a school appropriate song that I can make a music video for. This song is school appropriate and very catchy. The original music video for this song has some interesting visuals that can definitely help influence how I’ll film my video. With tropical storms here in Florida currently it’s expected to rain a lot. So whenever it rains this week it will be a perfect time for me to go ahead and film. There are a lot of things I still have to figure out when it comes to how I will film this video in the rain. I acknowledge that many things may go wrong during the filming process like lighting, the phone or cameraman getting wet, excessive wind and more. But if it doesn’t rain or if my idea just does not work out I’ll just put some effects into my video instead.

Title Research: Insidious

The titles displayed during the opening sequence include the name of the studio and production company. Next the film displays the actor names, film title, casting by, music by, costume designer, edited by, production designer, and director of photography title. The next titles shown are the produced by, executive producers, written by, and directed by titles. The image of the boy sleeping in bed is prioritized. The image of a demon's face is also prioritized. Images of their living room with moving boxes is also prioritized. Then images of the stair case is prioritized.  An image of a baby's crib in a room is also shown. The image of the boy was one of the first images shown, and was prioritized probably because he's going to be victim or a main character. Then prioritizing the demon's face reveals who the villain is and that there may be people getting possessed in the movie. The image of their living room with the moving boxes is probably to give the audience an idea...

I was supposed to record scenes 5 and 6 this weekend but due to the weather I was unable to.  It was raining all day on Saturday, so I did not record the scene that day because the roads were slippery and I was prioritizing my safety. Then on Sunday, my parents weren't available to film from the passenger seat that day. And my permit requires me to be accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years old in the passenger seat while driving. So I hope that I'll be able to film scenes 5 and 6 some time this week, maybe Thursday or Saturday I'm not quite sure yet. I'm just trying to get these two specific scenes filmed as soon as I possibly can be I do believe that they'll be the most difficult to film. I was also trying to film scene 7 on Friday but I couldn't because I needed to move the couch to in front of the tv. But I couldn't because the living room space was pretty crowded with just large boxes so I decided to hold off on filming that scene until this sp...

Genre Research: Drama

This is a powerpoint that covers the conventions we see in drama. In this powerpoint I stated a common lighting in drama, natural film lighting, and I also included an example. I listed a common camera angle in drama with a picture example. I also listed a common movement often seen in drama along with an example. Then I listed the common Mise-En-Scene in drama with examples. I then listed the elements of drama. I included 3 example films of drama. I also included the common sound in drama and an example video. I got my example video from YouTube. Inserting this video into my project was not very easy at first. But eventually I figured out how to insert videos from the internet into a PowerPoint. I listed what elements of drama that I liked. I also listed what elements of drama I did not appeal to me. I used transitions between my slides. I also had a dramatic song playing throughout the project. All of the pictures I used as examples in my project I got from google. This project helpe...
