Filming Blog: The Last Day of Filming


Today was October 7th, 2021. It was day 2 of filming and the last day to film my commercial. Today was an amazing filming day. I got a lot done in so little time. What I mean by so little time is that today was a Professional Study Day aka PSD. On Professional Study Days, we get out of school at 11:40 and only have less than 1 hour in each class. So, for me to have gotten so much done today, I’m super proud of myself and how I managed my time. Today, filming occurred at the media center stairs that are directly in front of the bus loop (which is shown in the media above). I was able to come up with new ideas to incorporate into my commercial as well. Just like day 1, I had one of my classmates help me out by recording me as I was acting because I am an actor in my own commercial. I was able to film the first half of my commercial today despite the day being pretty short. Today, I also had a problem. My side character in the commercial, was actually absent. So, I had to think fast and come up with an idea of how to get the needed scenes. As a solution, I decided to have one of my classmates replace my side character’s actor due to me not filming my side character’s scenes yet. I was able to guide my classmate and help her learn what to do fast. I am very grateful that my classmate was up for the task and was able to help me out. When I was halfway into filming, the school buses came and ended up kind of interrupting my filming. But thankfully, when the buses came, the only parts I had left to film where the parts that music was going to go over so I didn’t have too much of a problem with that. So, all of my filming is done and now I’m ready to start editing my commercial.

By Myself Again?

For my music video , I decided to work by myself. The reasons why I wanted to work by myself was because of many reasons. One reason that I wanted to work by myself was because I worked by myself for my commercial and I was able to get everything done in a good amount of time. Also, I can still see how it feels to do a longer project by myself just incase I want to do my final project by myself, so I can already have experience working on everything by myself. Another reason why I want to work by myself is because I realized that when I work alone, I thrive and do really good. The third reason why I want to work alone is because I really want my creativity to come out in this project so I can actually see every single one of my ideas come to life. Plus, I was told that when I work with people, I can get a little bit distracted. I was also told that I work really well alone, so I wanted to keep those conversations in mind while working on this project. I like to work with people, but us...

Planning My Music Video

Image
  Props: Since I have decided to do a RnB music video, to the song Miss Independent by Ne-Yo, my props will probably include a car, a book/binder, tables and chairs, a desk, business products, and maybe more. These are all of the props for now. Costumes: In my commercial, I will have 2 characters. The first main character will be a woman and the song will be surrounded around her. The second main character will be the love interest that is trying to get the woman’s attention. They both will be wearing some sort of business attire or just dressy clothes in general. I want the woman to maybe wear a pencil skirt or maybe just dressy pants with a business top or dressy top with sandals, maybe heels, it just depends. I want the man to wear a suit or a dressy shirt with dark jeans and dress shoes. Here are some examples of how I would like the costumes to look.  (These screenshots are from the ‘Miss Independent’ music video and show the outfits that the actors are wearing) Schedule:...

Convention Research: Dreamgirls

After watching the film 'Dreamgirls', I noticed they used the drama elements sound, thought, plot, and character. Deena, Effie, and Lorrell are a music trio originally naming themselves the dreamettes. They met a manger named Curtis Taylor Jr. who promised to take them to the top of the game. The manger then begins to take too much control from the girls and then began to cause them to break apart one by one. This is the plot of the film. This film uses a lot of music. Some songs that they include are 'Listen' which was sung by Deena. Deena sung this song to express how she was feeling in the midst of the whole situation. She felt as if the manger wasn't listening to her from within. Another song that was sung was 'And I am Telling I'm Not Going' which was sung by Effie. Effie sang this song to express the hurt that she was feeling inside. The music of the film helped express some parts of the film as well. The character of the film would be Curtis. Alth...
