Filming blog

 On Thursday, the 29th I started filming with my actors. One of the actors was unable to make it so I took over and filmed the commercial and acted as well. As the director, I brought all the props. I set up the area and made sure that the camera was working. For the first scene, I had to prop the camera up and make sure the light was right as well as the paper. But for some scenes, I was forced to hold the camera to shoot the scene. I made sure to direct the specific scenes and angles that went along with it. I reshoot many scenes that I felt need work or needed to be a bit faster. Another thing is that I made sure that the paper mate logo was angled to show the camera. In another scene, I made sure to make sure the set fit the frame to show the action that was taking place, Along with doing that the entire process took about 5 minutes nothing major. But trying to make the film look the best. In the last scene, I made sure to take multiple takes to show the giving nature that paper mate pens bring. While filming the last scene in order to get it right and send the message. We had to make sure the lighting was correct and that the taking and passing of the pen was showing the paper mate logo was showing. While filming we encountered some background noise and had to wait for it to quite down. Also, another thing we came across was our mess being left behind and having to clean it up for each scene. As well as lighting and the adjustment of the camera since I was filming and acting as well. During the process of filming, I made sure that we did multiple trial runs. If I still felt it wasn't right as direct or I practiced more with my fellow actor to get it right.

My partner had senior pictures today. So we weren't able to do work on our project/ start filming. So instead of wasting time I worked further on our schedule. Our go date on filming is next week, where we will be starting the filming process. I also have worked out the electronics we will be using for the film. The photos for our social media's will be posted once we start filming. I particularly want this to happen to give the social media's a more authentic feel. I also I have worked on the editing technology that we will be using for the film. I am excited to make it happen and see the difference in production once edited. I also worked on the other technology's that are going to be added for a more life changing experience. Due to not having my partner here I also watched a movie and studied it. I studied the type of characters and emotions being played. This helps me with playing my role in the film correctly. As well as capturing the audience's attention. Als...

Spring break Blog

 So currently in the United States, this is our last day for school. From now until the end of March we will be on spring break. This is extremely well needed with all the different classes having to be kept up with and the work. This spring break will be the break every high schooler or anyone in school has needed since the time school started. I am very excited to take a break and focus on my mental health. It is very important to get back in tune with your mental self that a lot of people seem to forget about. When it comes to school, grades, and work overall. So spring break will give us this time to check in with ourselves. Also, spring break gives us time to let loose and not have to worry about anything. Which is very well needed as well when the only thing you're focused on is a bunch of test coming up and projects. So with spring break happening I will be taking a well-needed break from school and my current project I have been working on. Tho I am very excited to see the ...

Preparation blog

In today's blog, I will be about the next steps in my task. My first in this will be to do more research on editing which is what I am currently doing. " Editing is the process of selecting and preparing written, photographic, visual, audible, or cinematic material used by a person or an entity to convey a message or information." My main concern as of now is the editing software. Luckily I have the internet that shows over 20 reliable and reputable software to search from either for android or I phone. I have also learned the difference in editing for different things like photos, videos, writing, etc. " Video is an electronic medium for the recording, copying, playback, broadcasting, and display of moving visual media. The video was first developed for mechanical television systems, which were quickly replaced by cathode ray tube systems which were later replaced by flat panel displays of several types." Ultimately the process that I have to do is a combinatio...
