Production Blog: Finishing Touches

 Hey bloggers and welcome back to my blog, we're nearing the end of our time to make this opening sequence. The sequence is looking greater than it has ever looed and I'm very proud of how it has come out. All I have to do is upload the video on Vimeo and try and embed it into our next blog. This however was more of a struggle than I anticipated it would be. My computer like last time was not cooperating with me and I had to go through various help forums in order to fix the issue. This was slightly frustrating as it took up about like 15 minutes of my time. After the video was finally uploaded, I ran into the previous issues I had with my other forms of media I had submitted before. The sequence came out in 480p and made the sequence look horrible and as if it were filmed on an ancient camera. Once again I had to adjust the frame rate and quality of video before publishing. This led to the video taking far longer to export however and took about 30 minutes. Afte uploading the video successfully I sent the video to my friends for any last second revisions before uploading it onto blogger. I made sure it looked good on their end as well, to my demise it didn't look very good on their end. The video was cropped on both sides and eft out some key parts of the background in some of our scenes. It specifically ruined the breakfast scene we had and cropped me and the bread out of the video. I had to go back into Vimeo and adjust the video's framing in order for it to perfectly adjust to Vimeo's format. The audio on the video was completely fine but the dialogue was a little quieter than I would have wanted it to be. The music was at a perfect volume and really sets the mood throughout the opening sequence ad especially towards the end. I also forgot to mention we added a very slow and ominous ticking sound to the later part of the sequence in order to accelerate the audience's heart rate. This was the last touch we have made to the original opening sequence and I'm very excited to show you guys very soon. Thank you bloggers for reading and hope you have a fantastic day.

Production Blog: Selecting Music for our Opening Sequence

Image
Hey bloggers welcome back and today I will be choosing the music for our thriller opening sequence. This is particularly challenging for me because there's 2 different kinds of music that will be in our opening sequence. In our opening sequence we would have to effectively bridge together these two different types of music. This transition also has to be smooth in order to avoid distraction from the scenes themselves. The two types of music are the happy upbeat familiar music played in a car, teenage music. The other type of music used will be creepy, foreboding, and suspenseful in order to evoke as much emotion in the audience as possible. Due to these types of music being so diverse and different it makes it even more challenging to effectively transition these songs. I've been relooking at the Final Destination opening sequence to see what they did with their music but their music stays relatively similar the entire time. They have strong background noise and sharp beats in

Planning: Location, Participants, Health, and Schedule

 The participants in our film will be: Enzo Prieto Joao Nunes Constanza Cirgliano Nick Zilberstajen Location:  Some of us live at great distances from each other making it slightly challenging to find a point to collectively meet and film. But we decided to use a local state park Oleta state park.  For the scenes in the car we decided to use some of our school friends' cars and to use roads near patches of woods to add the immersion in the opening sequence. The scenes in the driveway could take place either at Joao's or Constanza's residence. Schedule: By 2/20 we will film our scenes in the driveway which should take no more than one day. By 2/27 we will film our on the road scenes which should also take no more than one day. By 3/5-8 we will film our scenes in the woods which could take various days to film and set up After this we will use the next following weeks to complete editing, plan for the CCR and finally submit both our opening sequence and our Critical Reflecti

Critical Creative Reflection Blog

  CCR - Google Docs 1.  How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? The music video I made alongside my group is one very representative of the things people go through everyday across the globe. Our video looks at the way people grief and the effects the loss of a loved one may have on someone. The music video also looks at the way people age and change throughout their lifetime, but no matter what age a person may be they never lose love for a cherished one, especially a pet. The video does this with profound use of emotional lyrics/dialogue that bring nostalgia and flashbacks to the “good old days” which is a concept that everyone around the world feels and understands; the desire to want to go back in time. Our product represents a variety of different social groups and issues globally. One of the deepest struggles and issues our video represents is mental health. An issue that takes thousands of lives each year. Our video s
