Finding costumes and props

    Today marked an exciting day for my group members and I as we set out to search for props and costumes for our upcoming short film. As a team, we had brainstormed ideas and identified the key items required to bring our vision to life on screen. To ensure efficiency, we had decided to split up and tackle different stores separately.

    We were each assigned different stores to visit in search of the necessary costumes and props so Jorge and Katie went to the stores that they selected. I had decided to go to a Party City to search for props and costumes as it wasn't too far away from my house and I heard that it has many great props and costumes to choose from.

    As I walked into the Party City store, I was immediately overwhelmed by the array of options before me. My heart raced with excitement as I scanned the aisles, searching for the perfect pieces to bring my short film to life. I had been meticulously planning every detail of the house invasion scene for weeks, and I knew that finding the right costumes and props was crucial to creating a realistic and impactful film.

    I made my way over to the section for masks and weapons, carefully examining each option. I knew that the right mask could make all the difference in the world, and I needed to find one that was both terrifying and realistic. After what felt like hours of searching, I finally found the perfect mask, one that made my blood run cold just looking at it. I also selected a few different weapons, from baseball bats to knives, each one carefully chosen to add a sense of danger and suspense to the scene.

    Next, I moved on to the section for costumes. I had a clear idea in mind of what I wanted the characters to look like, and I scanned the racks of clothing until I found the perfect outfits. The clothes needed to be both functional and realistic, and I carefully examined each piece to make sure it fit my vision. As I made my way to the checkout, my heart was racing with anticipation. I knew that the props and costumes I had selected were going to take my short film to the next level, and I couldn't wait to start filming with my groupmates.

    After being satisfied with what I found at the store, we all decided to meet back up. We each compared props and costumes that we had found and discussed which ones were the best to use for our film. If there were some costumes and props that we weren't too fond of as a group, we decided to not use them. After sorting out which props and costumes would be good for us, we decided to call it a day.

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...
