Production Blog: Getting set for Filming

 

Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will be talking about planning we have to do before spring break. I thought that we should look around my neighborhood for places to film. When I brought up this idea I said we should film at night but then my group mates reminded me that we all agreed to do it in the daytime. The reason for this was because we wanted to challenge conventions. in every other mystery we see someone being grabbed or something being stolen at night rather than in the day. This concept will make it easier for us to pick a location to film. The reason that it'll be easier is because we don't need to think about Street lights or any other bright light source. A couple days before spring break my group mates came over to my house to start looking for locations. I was looking for different locations and Luc reminded me that we were going to use a tree to cut off the skateboarder. So, it was me and Luc's job to find a big enough tree that we would be able to cut it together in editing. Luc also reminded me that we needed a street with stops so we would have enough time in our video. The reason that we could not use a street with little stops was because we needed it for time purposes. We found about four places that we could film at. I suggested that we should pick one with the least amount of traffic in order to not risk the chance that our filming gets stopped by cars. my groupmates agreed so we spent about 10 minutes at each location seeing how the traffic was at that time. We got down to about two locations and Luc decided that we should just go with the one closest to my house. We then headed back to my house to make sure everything was in order. we had to make sure that we were able to fit all the words onto our items. We also needed to pick out what color shirts everyone would be wearing. thank you for reading my production blog have a great day.

My Final Intro Blog

Image
  Welcome back everybody to my last intro blog ever. I am Daniel Brinkworth and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am so excited that I am finally in A level media studies. I can’t wait to start my final task for a level. Last year for my final task we made an opening for a movie. Now that I moved up to A level i am tasked with making a five-minute movie. I have been so excited for this project since I first heard about it in the beginning of the year. My final task in AS level really helped me to understand what I need to do for my blogs, what I need to do for my editing, and what I needed to do when it came filming. The AS level final task gave me a good idea of what was going to be asked of me for my A level final task with some new elements I will need to include. Another thing the AS level final task really helped me do was figure out time management. I know that will be really important when it comes to this final project. Although the AS level final task required just th...

Editing for My Final Task

Image
  Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'm excited to talk about the editing process for my final task. Unlike last year, where I had a lot of help from my group, this year I'm alone. Last year, Rhys from my group took charge of most of the editing, and the video turned out great. However, this time around, I don't have that luxury. So, I had to figure it out on my own and I learned some new skills in the process. First things first, I scouted out different software options for editing. Many required payment or personal information. I then stumbled upon CapCut, which turned out to be a great choice. Once I imported my clips and added them to the software, along with the opening credits I'd already prepared, I was surprised to find that my footage exceeded five minutes. Initially, this seemed overwhelming. It actually forced me to trim down unnecessary shots and focus solely on the story. With all my clips in the software, I began editing my opening scenes, embedding titles, ...

Production Blog: Planning

Image
  Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the planning process that took place. My group mates and I worked very hard to plan out our final project. There were many steps that were involved in making our final project. One of the major things that we had to do was our storyboard. The storyboard is a scene-by-scene depiction of what we are going to film. This is very helpful when filming because we have something to go off of rather than just trying to throw it all together last minute. Another thing that was really helpful when planning was our title research because we were able to find similar movies and look at their opening scenes in order to get ideas of what we would like to do. This also helped with the storyboard because we were able to decide where to embed titles. It is very important to consider placement of where these titles should go. As a group we need to discuss and agree where each title should go. We also needed to decide where the titles will come...
