                                                                  Week 3 Post 1          Welcome back to my Media Studies Blog! It is now already week 3, and we are getting closer and closer to finishing our planning steps and starting to create our video. We became one step close by creating a shooting schedule, we may edit days as we can add more or end up not being able to one of the mentioned days. But so far this is our initial plan and the current schedule we are basing off of. We plan on using our beachy setting to our advantage, to help capture the aesthetic of the film.  2/17-19- The group will be shooting beach scenes and driving scenes. These scenes are very important because they are showing their bond which creates a sentimental feeling and the car scene is when the tragic dea...

                                                               Week 2 Blog Post 4 Technical Elements: Technical elements are things that are classified as mise en scene. these are all the things that affect a film that the audience doesn't even notice most of the time. Some of these elements include things such as lighting, props, costumes, scenery, and music. Things that define and set the tone of the film. Personally, our film we have 2 halves of the intro. The  first minute of the montage and compilation of videos, we are reaching for a lighthearted, warm, and positive feel. To achieve this we are going to use technical elements. First we can use lighting. We are going to film most of the clips outside and mostly use natural lighting. And the clips that are filmed indoors such as the ones in the girls rooms we will make s...

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...

                                                                    Week 2 Post 2   Welcome! We are furthering into week 2 and this post is going to be about  research. Research is going to be finding   movies and movie intro’s that have qualities we want to translate to our own intro or are similar to what we want to recreate.    Research: When my group and I first brainstormed and finalized our idea and plot for our intro, my mind immediately went to a movie I had watched before. The movie is called “Miracle Season”. This movie is a sport as drama is is about two best friends. One of the friends was super positive and outgoing, and you could tell from early on what her character was like. The positive one convinces her friend to try out for the volleyball team and, she makes it and ...
