Filming blog: Let's play with that dog!

 Hi guys! 

I hope all is well on your end. I'm here to tell you more about my group's filming journey.

    So, on February 13th, Valentina, Charlize, and I met up to refilm our dog scene. I say "re" film because the first time around, my group mates thought it didn't look good. Trial and error, am I right? 

    I think what went better this time around was less shakiness of the camera. As well as better angles and overall professionalism of the scene. Before it appeared more rushed and amateur. We didn't have time to go to a cafe for the final scene, but we did discuss as a group a few locations we were going to visit and inquire about their filming policy.

    We also had a discussion about potential music to use for our film! As I said before, Charlize is our main editor. Meaning she has a lot to do with what music works and looks best with the scenes. Despite this, I still want to give my own input as I have some ideas about what could work! I told my group mates we could either do minimal music, with it only playing towards the end when the real action happens and the two girls meet. Or, we could have suspenseful music throughout the film, with the music finally coming to a halt once the girls shake hands and officially meet to provide a shock factor and show that this is the climax of the story.

Well... it's always fun to let you know what has been going down. I hope to be able to update you soon on new action! 

Till next time... 

- 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...
