Made a mistake! Production blog

 Whoopsie daisy! We've made a mistake! One of few. There haven't been many during filming. Turns out Sydni can't get together with us to film. But that is alright. I mean we are in the age of technology. We can figure something out. And we did! Ayden, Trevor, and I decided what she'll do. She can send the video from home. It's like people did during quarantine times. Ayden can edit it into our film. Plus her part isn't too big. It is so cool seeing technology work. I bet even 4 years ago we would have considered it unrealistic. But it has come into fruition. Though most of our film still needed to be filmed in-person, this one tiny part did not. It will all be okay. Then our film will be finished.

Storyboard blog: Storyboard for our music video

Image
  Storyboard Blog Scene 1: Our music video starts out with all the characters walking up to a ticket booth. The ticket booth of an ice skating rink. The characters hand the ticket booth worker money and buy their tickets. This will be a medium-long shot. Scene 2: There is a wipe transition to characters walking to the rink. They head over to the ice skates place. This will be an over the shoulder shot. Scene 3: There is a jump cut. They then purchase their ice skates. Everyone now grabs their ice skates in a medium-long shot. Scene 4: This scene starts out with a split screen of character putting on their ice skates. Tying their laces. It beings with a fade-in. Scene 5: Our characters walk onto the ice. We are using a tracking shot to follow them around the ice skating rink.  Scene 6: One of our characters is focused on. They are ice skating as well. This character slips and falls on the ice. We then use a quick zoom into our characters head for a transition into our next scen...

Editing blog: Time for modifications!

Image
 For editing the first half the video we took a simpler route. Giving Addison the job of main editor. We started out at the beginning of the song. I knew that we needed 1 minutes and 15 seconds of film but we could put the video at the start of any point in the song. We put the clips in order of what the storyboard called for. The video of me and my group walking into the ice rink. We bought our tickets and then the video pans to us putting on the ice skates. Addison used a great technique for this. I'm not sure exactly what editing software she was using but it gave a nice slide transition. I hadn't seen it before. It was quiet neat. Another thing I liked was the use of cropping. When the chorus was sung again, it showed us getting on the ice. I thought that it created a sense of memorization. Since most people know the songs iconic chorus, it was solidifying for our audience to watch the main event of the video. Getting on the ice. While the recognizable chorus plays. Not to ...

Critical Reflection

In this critical reflection I will be exploring how my movie, "Can't Be That Hard", does the following things. Represent social groups, create branding, engage with the audience, and how my movie uses/challenges conventions. All of these are key in a proper reflection and look back at one's work. Especially something so tedious and detailed as a short film.  My movie, "Can't Be That Hard", is about 3 friends who feel bored, so, they rob a bank. It is a story of irony and action. Looking back at our film through a lens of critical reflection, our product successfully represents issues people face today. In the film you can witness boredom due to technology and over stimulation. The 3 friends are too comfortable with their technology and are over stimulated by it to the point of deciding that robbing a bank could cure their boredom. This is a issue today and kids are desensitized to technology and enjoyable things that they find dangerous, scary alternativ...
