Preperations and Precautions (Filming Blog)


Today I began the necessary steps to prepare to film. I arranged it with a friend who does not have media studies. He isn't in the class but, he was the only guy who would do it. We decided to film it at his house since it is slightly easier for us to do so. His house also matched my idea for what the location should look like much more than my own. Additionally, I finished work on the book prop. I also had prepared for what times of day I'm gonna have to film. I should be able to start filming this Saturday. The music video editing should be able to be done on Sunday.

Past that stuff, I have high hopes for this project. The music video should have some very good cinematography quality. Even though this is my first time doing something like this. Though working on this class has gotten harder and harder as I have to take off focus to work on my other classes.  It's very unfortunate and hopefully, I can get back on track. As of now though my schedule is starting to spiral out of control. I find myself staying up late working on different projects some for work some for school. I find myself waking up tired and only being half awake during the day. In the classes, I do classwork in I find myself passing a lot more. Though more recently I've been being more lethargic during school hours.
Recently I've gotten headaches and I've just had a bad time but, that's sort of irrelevant. I just hope my Lethargy doesn't seep into this video.

Genre research: Lord of War

The Movie Lord of War is one of my favorite Movies ever definitely my favorite war movie. When it comes to Nicholas Cage this is some of his best work and shows how he really can be an amazing actor. Even though as of recent he hasn't been in stride. It scored a 6/10 with average film critics and a 9/10 average with moviegoers. Common CAMS in the movie A lot of the shots in this movie are very uncomfortable it makes you feel weird and bad about what your seeing. Which is a very interesting way to film a movie. This is best seen with its opening sequence life of a bullet in which you take a pov of a bullet as its created and shipped out before it is used to kill a child solider. Common CLAMPS in the movie  The lighting in the movie is all digetic, due to the movie not wanting to seem fake. It wants to be real so that the user connects with the story more and believes that it is non-fiction or feels that it is. The costumes are natural clothing, alot of the protagonists wear suits du...

Editting and whatever rhymes with editing (Editing Blog)

Image
 Today I began the long arduous process of editing. To begin, I had to fix one scene. Initially, I had tried to film the scene in darkness, however, that didn't work out so well. So, to solve this issue, I had decided to try to film in light and then just make it darker in post. While it ended up working out, it definitely took away from the scene a little bit. It is still somewhat noticeable that the scene takes place in bright light, but hopefully, that can be fixed with some more editing. However, this may simply be noticeable to me as the editor and not as noticeable to those seeing it for the first time. But for now, it is serviceable. Past that I began the work of darkening up the extra scenes. Through this, I had learned that I had gone almost exactly on time instead of over or under time with the recording. After that, I began slicing the videos. Slicing the videos in and of itself was a challenge. It took a lot of time and effort. But, I thankfully got it done in the end. ...

Production blog #3

 Today I began filming. We went out to the beach and unfortunately it began raining. So I had to go back into the car and wait for about 2 hours. Once we got out the sand was still wet . We set up the green army men and everything seemed in order. Then we started filming and learned unfortunately that pop it's will not actually explode on wet sand. This made it almost impossible for the pop its to explode. So then we had to deal with that problem. We took a slab of rock and put it under the sand so the pop it's would have more force. No dice still wasn't working. So then we decided to try to just do it on stone. Then realized the pop its actually got wet not allowing them to explode. So then we hiked it to Walmart to get more of them. We got there got out of the car. Went into the store. Looked around. Only to see that they were out of the Pop it's. This journey had infuriated me to the highest order. So we just both went home. We decided to try again the next day. I or...
