WEEK 3 Post 4

                                                                      Week 3 Post 3

    For this weeks blog post as we make our video start to become a formalized plan we are making things like story boards and scripts my group and I figure that we would share some inspiration shots that helped us and we were invisioning when creating those things. 

    This first picture is from the famous coming of age movie "Stand by Me", an emotional coming of age, movie that highlights the relationships and journey of middle school aged kids trying to find a dead body. This shot caught my attention because it captures the shot that we are trying to achieve for some of our montage clips. For example the shot from behind the girls doing things, and having a candid feel. Also we liked the faint filter on it making it less modern feeling.  

   This next shot is from my favorite movie "Ferris Buellers Day Off", this captures something that we are going for in the car clips where the two girls are driving to the beach. They are dressed young looking like teenagers. They are acting less serious than one normally would in a car, and the carelessness of the kids helps the create a familiar coming of age feel. 

    This picture below is off two people running into the ocean. This shot is almost an identical one to what we want. First, it has the slight filter like said before and we want multiple clips of the girls at the beach, so the same setting. Again the shot from behind and the seeming candid shots are what we are going for. 
This next picture is from the movie "Lady bird" another well known more recent coming of age movie from 2017. This follows two girls between their hard high school years. We liked this shot because, one it shows 2 girls next to each other giving the best friends dynamic. And also it is how a lot of our shots are going to look, 2 shots of them together.

WEEK 5 Post 1

                                                                        Week 5 Post 1      Welcome back to my blog, this first post going into week 5 is about the roles that each person in our 3 person group has. The group includes me and my two friends Hallie, and Kate. We have to take on all the roles needed to create a short film. The first roles mentioned are the two main characters Blair and Riley. Kate will be playing Blair, the friends that dies in the car accident. And Riley will be played by me, Ella. So we will be the ones in videos acting. And as Riley I will be doing the voice overs as well. There is also a voiceover for blairs mom in the phone call, for that voice we will do Hallie, because her voice hasn't really been heard or recognized yet. Those are the only in-film roles that t...

WEEK 2 - Film Opening Portfolio Project

Week 2 Blog post 3   Technology:   The technology that we will be using for our project is simple . First, we will be filming on our own apple phones for our camera , which is an iPhone 13 camera. Besides the camera, our teacher does have additional equipment to better the quality of our filming . He has some mics to record voices clearly, if you have an intro that has dialogue . Although our video will have a voice over so we will record a voice memo and edit it to play over our video. Since we are going to be filming on ou r phones , we need tools that will improve the quality of our filming technique. So, we are offered to borrow a  tripod this will help tremendously with making shots steadier and more professional looking. I think that sense these videos are very homemade what makes an intro stand out is the quality. I n class we watched several example intros from previous proj...

CCR Post 2

 Critical Reflection Project #2           For the second CCR Post My group and I did a podcast. I also will be posting my answer typed out to get  a better idea of my interpretation and answer of the question across better. The question I answered was " How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?" My answer: I feel typical coming of age movies can vary in plot and maturity offering ways to entertain lots of different audiences . Although considering our film I feel that it gravitates towards a more spec i fic group with our characters and plot. I would say that it most closely targets young people, teenage age and thinking more specifically I would think that it target girls mor e than boys. Regarding to the two girl main characters, and girly feel to the film it may not peek boys' interest as much. This film also portrays a very specific lifestyle that may attract an audience becau...
