Tight on time


Welcome back to my blog, it’s been a little while! I have been gone over Thanksgiving break to see my uncle and cousins. I enjoyed the quality time i spent with them while in Tampa. It was quite a drive so I was asleep pretty much the whole time on the way there and back. I made an exciting visit to my brothers apartment in college at USF. My mom let me have sleepover with him for the first time there since all of his roommates were out of town. Anyways, what i’m trying to say is that I was unable to film this whole week. while I was on break, not only was I gone, but the rest of my group had other plans as well. Everyone was out of town or busy with family which is why I didn’t get the chance to meet up with them. I have been planning with Sabrina, Lola, and Michaela to get together with them very soon to begin our filming journey ASAP. it is very important for us to get this out of the way as midterms season is coming in hot for us. This part of the project is extremely crucial, considering it’s the main part of it. What I will say, is that my group and I are continually brainstorming different ideas. This is just incase something goes wrong with the original plan that was put together. Overall, I am not stressing too much because it feels like everything is under control. I do know that I will have to put in extra effort for this music video with editing or acting so that I can score better than my commercial. I was also out of town the weekend after thanksgiving break. My group decided to wait on me until I got back in order to film. They held off on it so that the video be done with all of us as a true group effort and I am looking forward to it. Im excited just a bit nervous because I’m not quite sure how much I’ll be able to help with editing. I don’t really know how to keep exact track of the song every time we end up making cuts, but my group and I will make sure to figure it out and do our best.

1. How do your  products  represent social groups or issues? Together, my group and I made a short film about a young girl who gets stalked and abducted. It is meant to be a reflection on the larger social issue of gender-based violence and the widespread anxiety it causes in women. In the video we emphasize the vulnerability that many women encounter on a daily basis, especially while partaking in seemingly harmless hobbies like running, through the protagonist's terrifying experience. In our film, the male stalker, portrayed by me, stands in for the stereotypical predatory male, highlighting the risks associated with toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. Through a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the protagonist's suffering, the film seeks to provoke thought and increase awareness of the pressing need for societal reform to address these challenges. The film's website and postcard offer further channels for interaction by informing viewers about the fi...

  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"...

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.
