Filming for Music Video Part 1

 As I finished my research, planning, and storyboard, it is now time begin filming. Today I looked back at my sketch and visualized where in my house I would start. Before I started filming I charged up my camera and made sure it was filming properly. For my filming I started out setting up for the second part of the music video. I filmed both actors inside and outside so I had different options when editing. For today actor #1 and #2 had to be filmed dancing, putting on a record, and then posing for a picture. Because the theme of the music video was a dance/night out, I dressed actor 1 and 2 in semi-formal attire. When filming It was hard to get the right lighting when the actors were dancing. I also had to try and transition the scene smoothly when actor 2 puts on the record. When filming I had fun with background props and lights. For example I used a disco light I had and put it in the dancing scene. This created the room to have lights spinning around it and I think it went well with the video story. Additionally I had to make sure all my clips weren't too long so I could stay under the time limit. Because of this I didn't have the actors dance for too long as they had 2 more scenes to film in that setting. When filming we had to leave some parts for the next day because of props. The props are photos that I took during the second half of the dance. This then will be the picture that Actor  #1 is holding in the opening scene. It is sort of confusing trying to type out the idea but overall the video will have a reminiscing effect. For my next filming day I will then print out the pictures I took in Filming day 1, and then film actor #1 glancing through the photos with a over the shoulder angle.

Starting the Final Task

Image
   Hi, my name is Jenna Lytch, I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High school, and I'm in the 11th grade. After completing 2 full filming projects I am now on my final task! For this project, I will be creating a 2-minute opening sequence for a film. I look forward to seeing what I choose to do. Because it is the longest project I will need to use a lot of ideas. While completing my final task I'm choosing to work alone. Although working in a group gives you more help, during the pandemic I find it would be hard. Working with others I would have to rely that everyone is able to meet up and film. However, because of the restrictions of parents or even safety, meeting up may be difficult. For the last 2 films I created, I worked alone. Both times ended up successful and I completed my project on time. Because of this, I am hoping this project goes smoothly as well. Additionally, even if I don't work in a group, I can still use my friends as actors. This would help because we a...

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
Storyboard scenes 1-12 In my first scene actor #1 will be in the frame either wide shot or mid shot. Actor #1 will be holding a picture and a behind the back angle will be slowly be zooming into her closer.  In the second scene actor #1 will still be in the shot but only from the waist up. As the song is starting out the main part says "do you remember" this will be symbolized through the video as Actor #1 is remembering her night on September 21st. Frame number 3 will now have a up close shot of her hand. When the shot is up close you can now clearly see the two people standing in the picture. The picture is warm and colorful and looks as if it was at a dance. The photo is know extreme up close and is in the same position. As the video goes on you can see that the photo comes to life. This photo is now "moving" because Actor #1 had a flashback. In scene 5 you can now fully see actor #2. This actor is seen putting on a record for the music. Scene 5 is still up for d...

Production Blog ~the importance of scenery

  In the process of my final task, props and settings will be very important. Many of my titles will fall onto props that I use. By this, I mean from the transitions of the different names. This will be done during my editing process. For example, when the camera cuts to a box, the titles may appear inside the box as the actor opens it. This creates fun transitions that use elements of the plot. During filming, I'll take multiple clips with different items. This allows me to have options for the backgrounds. The titles I include may also match the color of the prop. During certain scenes the setting may be the sky, so an example of matching titles is a dark blue or even white font color to represent clouds. Additionally, because the sequence is 2 minutes, the dialogue can't be very long. The dialogue will contribute to the setting and tone of the film. Creating a clear dialogue is the main objective. Moreover, the settings what the audience first sees. Because of this, I don...
