Decisions on sound, lighting Etc

 This right here is something I failed to realize. Some questions to ask would be, what sounds would my film use?, would they be diegetic or non- diegetic sounds?, would there be narration?, these are some questions that come to mind when thinking about sound. If you ever watched a teen movies made in the early 2000s, you can see how almost all of them have narration. Narration helps give background information to the audience. For example if the characters engage  conflict, the narration can give you knowledge on why this is happening or how did it start. Music can also help with the film as well. If you are doing a horror film you would use a low pitched sound, causing a eerie feel amongst the audience and setting the mood to how you want it to be. In our case we would put music that brightens up the mood, such as pop music to show how high school (in movies) really are. If we play some low music leading to silence, this foreshadows that something may happen just about now, or maybe the plot is about to reach its climax. Just like music, lighting plays an important part of setting the mood of the film. If you have lighting that is very bright lighting, it can show joy and happiness, which is what the group is trying to go for. We need bright lighting most of the film and joyful pop music to truly set the tone of the opening sequence. Although in some scenes where conflict does appear, we will use dark lighting and low tone music to give the audience a eerie feel. This will also help build tension

Case study

 This case study was a rough and vigorous task since it was very hard to retain information. The 5 parts of the case study (History/target audience, production, distribution,  marketing, cross media convergence and synergy) all of these parts make up a case study. How did I do this? Well first you get the film of your choice that relates to the genre you are doing, I chose the classic film "Mean girls" After that you start dong research on all 5 of those topics. You may be able to find a couple blogs relating on how to do and find these very few parts. But make sure your websites are credential and legit. You do not want to be using websites such as Wikipedia to gain information. This websites information can be altered by anyone who chooses to do so. Once I retained all the information from my research, I started to form my case study. You can either do a power point, word document, or a video. I chose to do a PowerPoint since it is easier to divide those 5 topics. Then you ...

Casting consideration and choices

 Casting can be a very difficult thing to do. You must be able to find people who will take their duty seriously and have some acting skills, Although we have not have started to cast, I have some ideas that I will present to my group this week. I have a few people in mind who will be a perfect fit for this task. Group member Kayla will actually be a actor in this film opening while the others will be editing and filming. Casting this week will actually be a great choice since we start production on the 22nd of February. If we can gather up a cast by Wednesday or Thursday, actors will be given time to memorize and act out their lines. The actors we choose must be good at memorizing since they have a short time to memorize their lines. So on film day we have a smooth transition and an easy production process. There is a couple of things we need to acknowledge before we start to cast. Things such as how should we do this casting process, where should the casting take place, how we wo...

Certain shots/ encounters during the project

 As stated In the last post, this production process was no joke but we all had fun doing it. It took almost 2 weeks to finish since there was conflict in our group. We decided to put all that to the side, and start getting this work done. Then we realized that this was fairly easy to film and did not even take 3 days to film. With the help of the story board, finding out the camera shots was really easy to use. We used shots such as medium shots, close up shots, extreme close up, and high angle shots to show meaning in our clips. There were many difficulties during production and even throughout this whole entire project. Some of the difficulties can include, the clips deleting, people forgetting their lines, redoing the script. I think the most difficult part was probably when the people who were assigned to do certain things did not do them. For example, I gave a group member who was on the verge of getting kicked out a VERY important task, and she did not deliver until last min...
