The Members of the Production Team

    I am now beginning my music video project! 

    For this project I will be working with a group of people in order to create an entertaining video. I have decided to work with some of my close friends. They are taking the same Media Studies course, but are taking it at a different time during the day.

    One of my group members will be Rashawn. He is the video editor of the group. He has worked on multiple projects in the past. He has a lot of experience creating videos and other forms of media. Rashawn will also be deciding what music the video will have. This is because he has created music videos and posted them on YouTube.

    My other group member is Hader. She will be working as the actor for the music video. She will act out the scenes and decide how we should create the project.

    I will be in charge of filming the shots for the video. I will be using the camera and setting up the scenes. I will also be deciding where we should film. I will also be deciding what time we should begin filming.

    All of our group members have very different jobs, but they will all work together to create our project. With all of our individual talents and skill we will be able to create a great video for our project. I am looking forward to working with each of my teammates!

Reviewing the Film

    Me and my group worked over the weekend and edited and created a draft of our movie. We made this in order to show other people and get their unbiased opinion on the film. We each split up after editing and went to different people we knew in order to get their opinion on the film and what we should change.       I decided that I would show my video to a few of my friends from middle school to hear their opinion. I sent them a message over social media and they responded after about an hour of waiting. They said that they would love to review my movie in order to help with the project. I sent them the file and I patiently waited for their response.      20 minutes later and they sent a message to me with their criticism. One of the bigger criticisms they had with the film was the music didn't feel like it fit with the movie. They said that the almost rock genre music doesn't feel like it fits with the situation being shown.     ...

Editing the Film Based on the Critiques

    My group and I gathered all of our recommendations and critiques for the film into a google doc. In the doc we summarized the changes that we should make for the film. The most important change that we need to make is the look of the movie.      I met up with Rashawn after school to work on the project. Our goal for today's work on the project was to change the overall look of the film. The original filter on the film was meant to make the situation feel more tense. It is used often in other films to make the setting feel almost darker.      I suggested that maybe it was just the fact that the filter was too much. The effect looked good in other professional movies. But when we used it, it felt almost overpowering and too much. Rashawn and I changed the filter in Adobe Premiere Pro. With Premiere Pro there is an option for visual effects to change the opacity, color, and even saturation. Using these we changed the each individual shot in order...

Filming the Last Shots

Image
      Today my group and I had our final day of filming. I met up with my team members after school and we took the bus to Rashawn's house. When we arrived we went to his room and discussed the plan for the day. It was decided that we would follow our original storyboard and improvise if we needed to. I carried the equipment and we made our way to a park near Rashawn's house.     The park was the main location for filming. I would still play the main role of James, Rashawn was Kofi, and Hadar was the DE Agent. The first few shots were simple. I acted out the scene of James meeting Kofi at the park.       An issue that we experienced during the filming was the camera. I worked with Rashawn to set up the camera angles. The tripod that we had wasn't working correctly and fell over a few times. The camera ran out of battery after a few takes and we had to improvise. I took out my phone and we used it for filming.      Using my...
