WEEK 4 Post 2

                                                                        Week 4 Post 2

    Welcome back to my blog, we are near the end of week 4 and today in class we decided that we were going to take action about our music. This week we have started filming, and smoothed over the challenges that we have been faced with. Weeks ago when we were first coming up with our music we were quick to brainstorm songs that had a coming of age feel and would fit perfectly to our film. So previously we decided that we wanted to use the song "Alright" by Super grass. It is youthful and up beat.            

    Although we quickly realized it wasn't royalty free. So our teacher suggested that we email the company that has copyright rights to the song and try to get permission. After some research we tried to email them today in class and we realized we would have to pay a large fee and we were not going to do that. So we went on a search for some quality royalty free music. We needed happy upbeat music for the first have and sad for the second half. After searching we found some royalty free music from a website called “Tunes Tank”. The happy one is called “Happy Morning”, it is upbeat adn has a beach vibe to it, which is perfect. And the sad one is called “Loneliness”, it si slow paced and gloomy. To use these songs we will need to download them onto our flashdrives and then to use them for our video we will upload them into Adobe Audition that will make it easy to put over our clips. 

This is the original first song we wanted to use:


Then after searching for royalty free music we decided on these for our two songs: 

SAD: 

HAPPY:

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...
