Filming Blog: Halfway Done

Today me and my group continued to film for our film “The Lull.” This morning I woke up around 8 in the morning to give me time to eat and get ready for David and Teo to come over. Around 11 David texted us that he would pick up Teo around 11:25. During that time I made sure everything was how it looked last time we filmed. I made sure the lighting was the same and Teo wore the same thing. When David and Teo arrived we talked about what we did last time and what could be added to the script. After about 15 minutes, David wrote up the script for today and I changed into the suit that Teo brought for my role. When David finished with the script we recorded the kitchen to the how the lighting was and if we needed to turn the brightness on my phone. After that we shot some scenes and tried to use some techniques and tricks. Some didn’t work out and some did. After a while we went outside since the lighting in my house was low and we needed some sunlight. We filmed me running behind Teo multiple times. I even added the idea that the lights should flicker as I ran past. So I recorded Teo flickering the lights then we filmed me running behind Teo as David flickered the lights. I also gave an idea that I can make some whispers. I pulled up a TikTok that I saw earlier that week that used some ghost whispering type sounds and tried to replicate that and made my own. We also recorded some sounds that we can add to post to make sure that it’s heard in the film. After we finished I made sure that everyone had their stuff and I kept Teo’s suit since we were going to film the next day. When they left I made sure that the living room was cleaned up and looked how it was before. I also cleaned up the kitchen, which is were we mainly filmed at today. Then, I worked on my homework and imported the clips that we filmed today in my editing software, adobe premiere pro. I didn’t edit that day because I really needed to get my homework done since it was due Sunday night.

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.
