Set backs, Research, and Flexibility!


    Hey guys! I'm back, did you miss me :)?

    This blog was going to be centered around the start of my role in my group's music video filming process. However, my group and I have run into a few problems since starting. I and Charlize, a member of my group, were supposed to begin filming this weekend. The filming schedule had to change, however, because Charlize's family came into town unexpectedly and I had to attend a Girl Scouts meeting. On top of that, our other group member, Valentina was unfortunately hospitalized this weekend. Due to her injury, she cannot film with us for a week. Because of these changes in circumstances, our schedules as individuals and as a group have changed greatly. 

So what is my role in figuring out this mess? Well, I have shifted my focus to researching further about music video styles, song genres, and storylines to integrate new ideas into our production. I have also arranged with Charlize to film our separate scenes of each other and either prop our phones or have another person film our scenes together. Once Valentina is able to film, Parker will join us and all four of us will film all parts together. Consequently, the filming locations for this week must change as well. Instead of filming at Valentina's house this week, that location will be postponed to next week. The next order of business is props. Currently, the only props that come to my mind are our phones, the diaries, and pens used to write about Parker, the bouquet of flowers, and the makeup we use in scene one. I have been looking into places that sell bouquets of flowers and I am considering a proposal to my group about adding a new prop: a love letter attached to the flowers. I think this adds a personal touch to the not-so-personal male character in our music video! 

Well, that's all for now guys. It was fun updating you on what has been going on...and not going on so far! I'll chat with you soon...till then! 

Sincerely, Sabrina :)

Our Pitch

Pitch 1: A mafia boss goes undercover as an ally to avenge the death of her brother. This pitch spoke to my group as we found it to be a serious topic that seemed interesting enough to stay engaged throughout the filming process. In the past, some of our group mates have worked in projects where this has been an issue. At times where the topic at hand is "silly" some cast members find it difficult to focus entirely and stay on task. This can be due to their immaturity and lack of experience with acting. We found this prompt intriguing, creative, and unlike anything either of us have produced before in our other media courses. This made it appealing for us all, and the better choice of our two options. Pitch 2: A secret witch pretends to fall in love with people and then turns them into legos which she collects. This pitch seemed interesting and unique to our group. However, it also posed a question of if our casting crew will be able to give the energy and vibe needed to port...

Reflection

     Hey guys!! Welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reflecting on the process of my commercial. This is important to do in order to see where I can improve next time and look back on what I have learned.      Speaking of learning, throughout this process I found that I learned a lot about editing while making my commercial. Before this, I had never used the app Cap Cut. Editing has always been a foreign thing to me but an interesting thing none the less so I am glad I got the chance to learn how to do it! First, I had to learn how to navigate the app Cap Cut. I was not sure where everything was at first, but my friend who is skilled in creating films helped me find everything I needed. First, I learned how to add pictures and videos to create a slide show as a beginning template. Then, I learned how to add transitions in between the photos and videos. This was the first step I took to add character and my own personality to my commercial. To add furth...
