Tough week with no filming progress made... yet

My group has yet to have been able to get together and record our commercial. We have all had different things going on that have prevented us from meeting up. To begin, we had the hurricane come near to our direction and school was out for 2 days which already made it harder for us to see each other, let alone meet out of school. During that week, I was also sick and caught a virus, which led me to lose my voice on the weekend. I was unable to talk and it was truly annoying, but also painful at the same time. The next week came along and all of our group members including me, have things to do after school. Each of us is either at our extracurricular such as sports practice/games or we have to go to work. This means we do not all have the time to meetup on weekdays because of how busy we all are after school hours. On Wednesday we had school for the holiday of Yom Kippur. I don't celebrate it, however I was unavailable because I had to see a friend for another project that was due today. We had to get it done because it was our last day to add final touches to it. Wednesday also didn't work for the rest of our group for various reasons. Our group has officially planned to record our commercial on Sunday evening. The idea is to still do it at the beach and we will all meet there between 5-6 pm. We want to do it later in the day because we want to keep the setting of the Romantic scene when we record it. The reason we are going a little earlier is to make sure we have everything setup. If everything is set up properly, then we will be able to record it just in time during the sunset to capture a nice scene. We all hope everything goes smoothly, so that instantly after we can begin editing. I will be helping with the editing since I have some experience with it from the past. This will also help us all be able to split the work evenly between the 4 of our group members.

Officially done…With filming

  I'm happy to inform that my group and I have finally finished filming our final video project, and the results are nothing short of stunning after weeks of hard work and commitment. This trip, while had its share of difficulties and learning curves, ended with a victory that well above our expectations.This time around, unlike the first time we filmed, everything appeared to go together perfectly. Equipped with a well-defined vision and an astute sense of direction, we skillfully and confidently maneuvered through the filming process. Simplifying our method of filming was one of the biggest changes we made. We had a well thought-out plan in place, so we knew exactly what kind of material and photos we would need to make our story come to life. With so much less time spent filming because to this newfound clarity, we were able to concentrate on capturing true and emotionally charged moments. Even though we were filming at the same park as before, we took a "less is more"...

 a. Typical Thriller Sound: * Spooky music: To create tension, thrillers frequently use powerful and unsettling music. * Minimal sounds: They don't overdo the sound effects, just enough to keep you on edge. Common Mis-En-Scène (CLAMPS) in Thriller: * Dim lighting: The combination of darkness and shadows evokes a spooky and enigmatic atmosphere. * Weird settings: Unusual or spooky locations heighten the feeling of unease. * Unsettling objects: Dolls and mirrors are examples of items that may be used to frighten you. c. Typical Thriller Editing: * Rapid cuts: These add a lot of intensity and keep you on the edge of your seat. * Juxtaposition: Irony or suspense are created by juxtaposing scenes or images. * Slow motion: Delaying some scenes lengthens the suspense and highlights key moments. d. Typical Movies of Thriller: * Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960) * M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" (1999) * Jonathan Demme's "Silence of the Lambs...

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Hi, my name is Sarah Kraja and I'm ecstatic to soon begin this music video. I have some experience with technology since I am always using it, and I used to edit a lot of videos for fun when I was younger. I feel like that will be very helpful for me in this class because there is a lot of recording involved throughout the rest of the year. I always liked editing and filming videos when I was with friends so I have some of the basics down already. I am already in the process of brainstorming ideas for our groups music video because of how thrilling it seems. Now I'll get into some particulars about what I generally do throughout most days in and out of school. When I'm outside of school, I go straight home either on my bus, or my parents pick me up. When I get home, I tidy up some of the main areas around my house or room and then just relax for awhile. I used to fill my days with school volleyball everyday after school, however the season is over for this year. However, I ...
