Additional Filming for Music Video

-

 


 Another day and more filming!!! I am back in Florida and can now use the location I'm familiar with to my advantage. I got to incorporate and film some of my initial ideas from my storyboard. I feel like everything is coming together, and piecing it together will be awesome.

  • Baskin Robbins (Coral Springs, FL) - As said before, I wanted to get milkshake from Baskin Robbins to be a prop in my video because it connects to the lyrics. I also wanted to include this because its a fun location and connects to the pop convention.! While at Baskin Robbins, I was able to film the milkshake alone then doing more with it in the video. Afterwards, I filmed the actor singing to the lyrics while in the store. Because we went around 4pm, the sun was bright and we used natural lighting for all of these scenes. I recorded off my phone and directed the actor by giving instruction and specifying lyrics for the them to mouth. I got multiple angles and different backgrounds.
  •  Veterans Park (Oakland Park, FL) - This is a park surrounding a large lake with a beautiful view. It wasn't initially in my plan, however I improvised and used it while I was out. I wanted to film at the beach but I wouldn't have made it in time to catch the sun before sunset so I changed direction. At this park, I filmed the same actor walking, dancing, and singing, along to the song. We had different backgrounds and scenery for each shot with natural lighting. I filmed from many different angles. Afterwards, we switched and I became the actor. I sang along to the song wording it as the artist. With this park having good views, I again filmed the scenery for transition and filler purposes.
  • Various Locations (Broward County, FL)  - I was able to film the phone-call scenes of my friends/actors in their rooms. I had the camera directly in front of them and used lamps for lighting. I filmed multiple shots while directing them of how dramatic they have to be and the use of body language. 
It was a GREAT! Productive day of filming. Tune in for the next one!   : )

Our Pitch for Project! - Short Film

      We've been tasked with a Short Film that's supposed to be the length of five minutes. I am working with a group and spent about 2 days brainstorming and came together with ideas and we collectively decided on a product.    Our main pitch and film will be about a man and his wife whom he has just killed. She's been put in the trunk of his car and it will begin with the male actor closing the trunk. Afterwards he's being mentally strained and traumatized with overwhelming guilt to where hes hallucinating his dead wife in his car and around him. Playback's of their memories together will be shown to develop character relationship. The woman's dialogue will be her soothing/downplaying the situation because his subconscious is trying to relieve him of guilt. He'll be completely overwhelmed. Wrapping up the film will be him stopping and getting out of the car to then, walk out into the road to end his life.      The entire film will take plac...

Genre Research: Me Before You 2016

  Me Before You was a full on drama influenced and led by romance. A man was living a lavish, wealthy and adventurous life until his life changed completely after being in an accident that left him paralyzed. Louisa enters his life as his caregiver but becomes so much more by loving him and wanting him to find value in his life. But in all her efforts, his mind didn't change. A necessary convention of drama was character development. Within the movie, Louisa grew personally and it's because of her experiences with Will. In my film I'll be sure to include that development. Another thing that made this movie successful was the irony in some parts. Will used to jump off cliffs into oceans and since he cant walk, going back to his old life isn't even an option. Lastly, was the unpredictable ending. The continuous drama of what'd happen next and the constant rising of issues made it interesting and I'll be sure to take that into thought when creating my film.

The Drive, Short Feature - Reflection

  How do your products represent social groups or issues?     Our film isn't vocally or directly focused on social issues however when looking for a deeper meaning, an issue that prevails is the male's mental state. To have killed someone he loves, to imagine/hallucinate them in his space, to then kill himself is a lot to receive in a short film. As we forge through an era where mental health is prioritized, this film was an easy development to portray this. Boys and men are prone to be judged for showing or expressing emotions. In the film, this bottled-up self-hatred, guilt, and uncertainty of the main character led to his own demise. Applied to society, this happens so frequently that people push it under the rug. Men should be allowed to have and express their emotions without feeling empty or weak. We are all human and it's impossible to feel anything. Dean committed suicide at the end of the film by walking out into the road because he couldn’t take anymor...
