Filming the first few scenes

    Today I wasn't able to film. The reason I didn't film today was because I didn't have the materials to film yet. I was just reviewing my previous blogs in order to have an idea what I will be filming. According to my backup plan, one of the backup options was to film at home. So I might film some of the scenes at my house over the weekend.
    
During the class, I mainly reviewed the storyboard blog to see what I have to do for each scene. So I was going over each scene to make sure that I know what I'm doing. I focused more on the first couple scenes so I know how I should start to film. I was thinking about what kind of sound effects/effects in general to use for some of the scenes. When going over the blog of my storyboard I was thinking about the lighting for the scenes and how I should film it.
    
Next, I thought of a plan on how to put the Oreo cookie box on the stand for when I film. Also, I was thinking about what color the stand should be. I wanted the Oreo cookie box to be the main focus of the first scene. I wouldn't want the audience to be distracted by a bright table color or bad lighting in my commercial. I want to make sure that the commercial is filmed well.
    
I decided that when I film, I will be filming my commercial with my phone rather than a camera. I'm still deciding if I should use some sort of camera stand or just film the scenes myself. I believe that my phone is good enough to film on and can produce good quality for my commercial. When I start the filming process, I will try do a few test recordings to make sure that the scene looks good. I will review the footage and if it looks good, then I will keep, if not I will redo the takes.

Beginning of Editing

Image
    Today I started to edit my scenes for my commercial. To edit the scenes I used iMovie. Some of my scenes were filmed a few times so I will review and choose the best one. Then after choosing the best scenes, I will start to edit the scenes. I was looking at the length of each of my scenes and estimated how long my commercial will be. Some of the scenes need to be cut and merged with another scene.           I did research on how to edit/cut videos. I researched this so that I  know how to to cut and edit my scenes. Also, I searched up how to use iMovie since it is my first time using it for something. There was lots of information online on how to use iMovie and how to edit in general and the sources were very useful. I started editing my first scene and I tried to cut a second off the scene and merge it with my next scene. This required my editing to be precise because if I made a mistake, I would have to redo it.     I tried a...

Title Design Research: Action

   Title Design Research: Action Detective Pikachu: 1.How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Lots of titles are shown in the opening sequence of the movie. The usual ones such as Director and assistant director are shown. Since the movie had many different visual effects there was an emphasis on that part of the crew, such as the visual effects director.  2.What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) They bring about a sense of nostalgia, especially for those who have been pokemon fans for years. They are bright and colorful and appear to be alive.  3.How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) The exact genre isn’t made too apparent but by watching a pokemon related movie one is to expect some kind of action going in.  4.What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Well one of the...

Common Sound in the action genre: Sound is a crucial element in any film, and the action genre is no exception. Action films often use fast-paced, intense music and sound effects to match the high-energy action on screen. In "Proximity," the sound design is used to great effect, with the use of suspenseful music and sound effects adding to the tension of the film's action sequences. Common Mis-En-Scene in the action genre: Lighting, Action, Makeup, Performance, and Setting. These elements can all contribute to the overall look and feel of a film and can be used to help define a genre. In the action genre, these elements are often used to create a sense of excitement and intensity. In "Proximity," the costumes and production design are dirt and rugged, adding to the film's wretched aesthetic. The action sequences are well chore...
