Production Blog: Buying props and adding titles

Over the weekend, I received my second dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine. I had my first dose about three weeks ago, and I was just a bit sore. With the second dose, I actually had some symptoms. I had similar symptoms when I had COVID-19. I had a fever, a horrible headache, and a super sore body. So this weekend I couldn't really go anywhere or do anything. Although this weekend wasn't very productive, today was. Today, Monday, April 12th, was a productive day in my opinion. I began to attach my titles to my film onto the parts that were edited already. I also went to the store to buy a moving box for one of my scenes. I also bought a "for sale" sign for another scene. I have two scenes left to film, which are the ones that involved the props that I needed to buy. Tomorrow, I hope to film those two scenes, because I just need to be home to film them. I should definitely clean my bedroom before filming the packing box scene though. I'm also thinking of redoing my driving scenes because they look kind of similar and I should probably change them. It would be the best choice for my film. I will only do that if I have enough time though. I also plan to finish editing and adding the titles on Wednesday through Friday to make sure it looks perfect. I have no doubt that I will be able to finish my film just in time to upload it. I think people will really enjoy it, but also be disappointed that it's not a whole film. I especially don't like cliffhangers, but for the purpose of this film, it was the smartest idea.

Starting the Final Task

Image
Hello, my name is Paulina Moreno. I'm in twelfth grade and I'm heading to college in the fall of 2021. I was originally born in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, but I've moved a lot since then. I've lived in many parts of Mexico, and also in Georgia and Florida, here in the United States. I've never really stayed in one place for too long, but that's what makes my life so fun. Everything I have experienced in the past has made me into the person I am today. My life is kind of like a movie, there are many ups and downs that shape the character into the person they are. That's why I love Media Studies. I want to learn how movies are created and all the different things that are incorporated into the film industry. I also want to learn how movies from other countries are made because I used to live in another country and movies are really different there. For the final task assignment, I decided to work by myself. Because COVID-19 is still a big problem in the United States...

TiK ToK (Music Video)

Image
"TiK ToK"  For the music video project, I was actually really excited, but I had many questions. What song am I going to choose? How do I want to film it? Do I want more people in the video or just myself? What would I wear in the video? What props would I use? I had many more questions but I had to think quickly. I ended up choosing a song called "TiK ToK" by Kesha. I chose this song because I needed to choose a song that I knew the lyrics to, and I can never go wrong with a 2000s song. I posted my intro blog on November 13th. This blog was all about my song choice and if I was planning to film with anyone else. Then a few days later I started researching the pop music genre. I posted my research blog on November 16th. The day after, I posted my planning blog. This blog was about my filming schedule, my props, and my costumes. In the days after, I drew out my storyboard and posted it on November 20th. This blog is the most important in my opinion. Without the story...

Production Blog: Filming is complete, now continuing to edit

Image
These past few days have been really productive in regards to my film. I finished filming all of my remaining scenes over the past two days. I did this on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, I went to the beach to film the driving scenes. I have a couple scenes that take place in my car, so I had to film a lot of angles and views. I went to the beach with my mom, because some of the clips don't take place inside of the car. She drove my car, while I filmed. She doesn't know how to film, so since the clips were from far away, you can't tell who's driving the car. On Wednesday, I filmed the scenes that take place at my house. Either in the driveway or inside. I was waiting until Wednesday to film these scenes because I didn't have the props for them until earlier this week. I used a cardboard box for one scene. For this scene, I had to be packing up my clothes, to represent my packing for the move. In another scene, I used a "for sale" sign in my driveway. Th...
