Introduction to the Music Video Project

 Hey guys, so yesterday we started a new project, this time it's focused on a one minute music video. As you may know from my past blogs I'm not the best when the project is first presented but luckily while listening to the radio today I found the perfect song I wanted to use. It's ADMV by Maluma, a Columbian singer. This song is in Spanish so I'll provide a transcript of it in English.  The song is about a relationship with a person and the connection with that person that they have, which is the love of their life. I think that this song is going to be a great story to tell. When listening to the song I had many ideas about how I wanted to show the song. I had some ideas but we won't go too much into them. The main idea is to show a couple either on an anniversary or on a date and they end up dancing. So for that I'll need two people. I'm not planning on working with anyone on my project from school, but have my sister and her boyfriend be the actors for this film. It's safer than asking my friends and easier to do the shots. They are also familiar with the song and that would help when creating the shots. I feel that using them since they've been together for a year is also helpful because they won't mind being close. Portraying the song through a relationship would also be helpful because what's going on isn't faked and I think that would add a more realistic feel to the video. So by using them as my actors I can draw out a better picture to the video than using other people without a real connection.  Like I mentioned before this song would be great to use to tell a story. The fact that it's a love story means that I can show hardship and good times which allows for more dynamic scenes. I want this project to really show the story between these two characters and I really think that it can. The music and the original video tell it's own story and that's why I chose this song. My goal is to tell a similar story the best I can and because what I have in mind is simple I think it'll come out better than my previous projects.

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Planning for the next shoot

 Hey guys, so not much has changed since the last blog. My friend still has COVID and I don't see a time that we'll be able to film the final scenes yet. Fortunately he has gotten better but as far as safety is concerned I don't see a possibility for filming. My new plan for now is to begin editing. Since I filmed the scenes in chronological order I can begin preparing the first cut of the film. This will allow me to see if there are any scenes which may need to be reshot or if I'm missing any scenes that need to be filmed. At first my editing plan was to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I have for my previous projects, but the computer I was using can't handle the program and started malfunctioning. Right now the deadline is nearing and I've been stopped in my tracks due to my friend getting infected. I plan on doing one of two things in order to go around these problems of mine. First plan is to get through filming even with my actor being infected. To do that I will...
