Production Blog: Planning Blog Difficultly

Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about my planning blog. This was the second hardest part of my whole final task behind the storyboard which I will talk about next blog. To start off, my planning blog is one of the biggest parts of planning. First off, I had to create a schedule. My time frame was only a week long because I am filming over spring break. I feel confident I can get this done because I will film one fourth of the project in Florida and start the editing process. The location was easy because I had already thought that out. I will be filming in Florida and Colorado. The participants were difficult because I would be on vacation with my family. So, in the beginning I was going to use them, but then I got the good news 3 of my friends were coming also, so I will use them instead. One of the biggest considerations for filming in Colorado is the protection of my actors. For health and safety my actors will wear helmets and protective clothing. There are many props like skis and snowboards which we will rent, but some of the most important props are the items that will display the opening credits. Clothes were easy props to organize because the scenes are mostly mountain based and we would already have mountain wear. For the parts not on a mountain, we will wear gym clothes. A back up plan was very important for many reasons. First off if my flight was canceled, I would be in a lot of trouble. Also, if my friends could not make it the plan would be ruined. So, my back up plan is to keep the theft part but use skateboards and scooters instead of snowboards and skis. Thanks for reading my blog.

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

  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...
