Filming Day... For Real


Time to get into a quick recap, because we finally started filming. My group mates came straight to my house after school. We got on my school bus together and headed into the clubhouse of my apartment. I made sure to go to the building manager to let them know I have to film a school project and if possible to keep it locked from other residents entering. He was kind enough to do that for me and it helped make everything go way more smoothly. Anyways, we got home and we started preparing, looking over the script and partially memorizing the lines. We filmed by the pool, the lobby, and the outside of the building. We got an establishing shot of the building for the start of the film. This helped to get a view of the setting of where the short film was shot. Me, Thandi, Brayden, and Elton did our part in acting and Luke did his part in filming. For me working with this new group, I feel like we all worked very efficiently together. It was also an enjoyable time throughout the whole filming. I liked being with this different group of friends and if anything my group switch worked out for the better. Everyone lives closer and it's more convenient since it was all done at my house. This was easier since I didn't have to go anywhere or to anyone else's house. Overall, we filmed just about every part needed except for a couple pieces in the end that we didn't have time too because it started to get late. In our next meeting we will finish up those parts and get to the editing. We are getting closer to finishing everyday. I'm happy with the progress being made so that I don't have to worry about this. It would be really tough on me if I had to worry about this while I'm gone because it would feel like I failed my group. I'm glad we all found the time and day to get together on a weekday and get the biggest part of this project done.

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"...

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.

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 ...
