My Music Video

Image
  It's done! I am so happy that I finished this amazing project. I ran into some problems along the way but all in all, I am happy with the outcome. The only thing I am a little disappointed in is the quality of my video. It was all good until it came to upload my video onto Youtube. However, this is a learning experience to also keep the quality of any project at top priority.  This entire process took about 1 week if you don't count the days that I did nothing. I had a lot of fun with this and will 100% do it again if I have any free time. One way I think I could've improved was with the number of people in the music video. I originally planned for about four people to be in it but I ended up with one. But, you have to work with what you got. Luckily, I was able to film and edit with what I had and I am grateful for that. My favorite part of the film was the car shots. I can't really explain it but recording those shots was so intriguing. One of my favorite parts to e...

Filming for my commercial

       Filming for my commercial was an interesting experience. I worked by myself for this project so everything came straight to my head. Initially, I wanted a simple tutorial type of commercial. However, my ideas changed once I started to research more about these types of commercials. After research, I then knew what I wanted.       On Saturday, the 31st I officially started the filming. I took one day to shoot and film everything and did so in about 15 takes. I had to make sure my lighting was perfect in every shot to make the commercial look professional. Also, I made are every angle showed only necessary items and not a crowded background. Strategically I filmed all my shots on my vanity at the peak of dawn where my window gets the perfect amount of natural lighting. This made my vanity shots look very uniform and soft.  Additionally, for certain takes that required both of my hand in the shot, I asked my Mom for assistance on holding ...

Genre Research: Thriller and Drama

  For my other two genres I choose to research Thriller and Drama. I wanted something similar to horror yet very different so these were the perfect chooses. When researching the genre of thriller, I found that some of the convention were the same. Although horror is used to make the audience feel ‘horrified’. Thriller is used to create a feeling if ‘thrill’. Common camera angles used in Thrillers are: high angles and closeups. High angles makes the subject look and feel inferior. Close-ups are used to focus on a subject and express/explain subject’s emotion in that scene. Some common movements used are tracking/panning and zoom.  When it comes to mis-en-scene, thriller and horror are also very similar. Costumes are heavily used. They show character may be headed or what kind or person the character is. Some elements in a thriller film. Are suspense, excitement, tension. Thrillers can take place anywhere, at anytime, to anyone. On the flip side, the genre is quite different th...
