Production Blog: Props

Hey, Kayla here. This blog will about my group and I'm filming process and how that has been going. My group mate Ariel and I were going to start filming today. We didn't end up filming today due to the weather. It was raining so that was no longer an option. I ended up having to rush home due to the rain that was on the verge of pouring heavily. We did speak about the props that I have gathered for the film so far along with the emails we sent out. Over the weekend I have gathered some of the props that are needed for the film. I ordered the fake blood that we will be using on Hervis. It's a 16oz bottle of cake blood. It is still in its wrapper due to me not wanting it to spill or leak anywhere. I did do some research and in some cases it leaves back very noticeable stains. I'm trying to avoid that which is why I have not opened it yet and will no do so until we are ready to shoot the scene/ scenes it will be required in. I was originally going to use red food coloring, powder sugar, coco powder, and water but decided against it because I wanted it to look as real as possible. I also wouldn't have to go throught the trouble of seeing if that mix would work in the first place. This was a DIY that didn't seem like the best of options. The ingredients apparently had to be measured at the sole measurement given. I didn't want to risk doing just a little over or under; so the fake blood that was already made just seemes like the safer and best option. I also got the fake BB gun which we will be using in tbe film as well. So, that was what was supposed to be the first day of filming in a nutshell.

Final Review: Changes actually made.

Image
Hello, Kayla here. So, this blog will be about tbe actual changes that were made to the film. Some of the suggestions that were made to me by my family were done and some on our own. The shooting scene in my opinion wasn't too graphic so that was left the way it was. We saw no reason to re-shoot it. I also, took into consideration what was said to me and we did end up shortening the shooting scene. That was originally 11 seconds and was trimmed down tremendously. I also did some changes to the lighting. So from 0:48 seconds to 1:05 I created and added a sunlight filter. From 1:05 to the ending of the video I made and used a nighttime filter. It took me a while. I thought the filters were already made but turns out it wasn't. So, I had to use the color adjustment settings to get them to come out the way we desired. I also did end up adding some fade-outs but took them out in the end. I had to export like three different videos and go back to add ontop each. The behind the scenes...

Title Research: Mission Impossible 2

Mission impossible 2   1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?   There are only 3 titles the producer Tage and the director tag and the title of the movie. This movie decided to take the fast option giving you the most important tags for the opening. To get their idea across quickly on what type of movie it is going to be.    2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel)   The titles are in between very intense images, editing, and sound going on with the titles it makes me feel pumped and ready to watch a action packed movie. The opening gets you prepared for the intensity of the movie.    3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you   tell what genre the film is) through action/interaction.   Action / interaction Is different in every movie but what ties them together is the certain mood / action e...

Commercial Blog

Image
Hi, Kayla here. This blog is my 2nd to the last blog for this project. This is the commercial blog where the video/ actual commercial is shown here. This commercial is about an ink joy pen and the attributes said pen has. You can see that in the commercial I was using a different pen officially. But, that pen as shown in the video was causing issues and not working properly. I was then given a pen which turned out to be an  Ink Joy pen before I proceeded to start writing. You can hear me explain how the pen writes smoothly and work wonderfully. The filming experience was great to say the least. I really enjoyed the process of filming this commercial.
