Filming Blog: Filmed a Little By Myself

Last weekend, I decided to film just in case my group needed my more scene to include. This because the due date for this film was coming up in about 3 weeks. At this point I just decided to film even if it didn't make the cut. I woke up around 8:30 and told parents and grandparents before hand that I was filming. I ate some breakfast and brushed my teeth. I also had the suit Teo gave me and changed into it. I then went to my car. I grab my phone, eager to shoot the opening scene for my detective film project. I head outside and climb into my car, picturing it as a sleek detective's vehicle. I prop my phone on the passenger seat, using a book or case to hold it upright. I check the frame, making sure the lens captures the street scene in front of me. I pull out of the driveway, keeping an eye on the road. I cruise down the street, the camera capturing the passing scenery. I keep my gaze sharp, scanning the sidewalks and storefronts for potential leads. I occasionally tap the brakes at a stop sign, using the pause to scan my surroundings. For the second time, I put my phone on the dashboard to show the scenery passing by. I also put the car in park and get out in multiple locations around my neighborhood to film my car passing by. I then take a break to work on some of my homework for about 30 minutes. I then filmed again and put the camera on the outside of my car with tape for 1 minute because I was scared it was going to fall.

Critical Reflection

Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D1EKrIx0YmH9RTIADRH1n7b1hGkrG5TUnLtRnNhMeX8/edit How do your products represent social groups or issues? In my group’s short film, The Lull, it challenges the role a detective plays. In movies or short films in this case where the detective turns out to be the bad guy challenges our conventional perception of heroes and authority figures. This departure from the expected narrative trajectory challenges our trust in them and the meaning of being in charge. They reveal that even those we admire can have flaws and mistakes. This short film prompts us to question the effectiveness of our power systems and their fairness, reminding us that sometimes those in charge aren't as perfect as we might expect. This can symbolize the abuse of power within institutions and the betrayal of public trust, reflecting real-world instances of corruption and misconduct within law enforcement.  Moreover, the detective's dual role as investigator and killer ra

Creative Critical Reflection

1.  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? My product uses conventions by including what the headphone looks like, the Beats logo, what type of headphone it is (seen at the end of the commercial). The product represents social issues by everyone being able to buy these headphones. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real product media text? My product engages with audience by showing that you can wear it at the park and showing the look of it. It would be distributed as a real media text through media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and etc. 3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project? Throughout this project I had three different roles (acting, directing, and editing). With acting, I learned how move with the camera and know what it feels like to act behind a camera. With directing I learned to communicate with new terms like high and low a

Final Task: R3VENGE Opening Sequence

This was my group's third major project that we worked on together with the addition of a new group mate. It was an amazing experience, from the filming, planning, and editing. My knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and the camera movements, angles, and shots plus the last project really helped shape this opening sequence of my group's own original film.
