Refilming

  Today was a day of great productivity for me and my group as we embarked on the refilming of our short film. Our collective efforts were geared towards perfecting the scene where Django and Marty sneaked into the bedroom of the Jetson household. As we didn't take many takes during the initial filming, we all agreed that a refilming session was necessary to get it right.

    With all our resources and equipment ready to go, we assembled as a team and got down to business. The whole team was present and eager to get things started. We began by refilming the scene where Django and Marty searched for valuables to steal without waking Emily Jetson, who was played by Katie. The scene required several takes, but we persevered until we felt that we had captured the right emotion and intensity.

    The next scene we tackled involved Cop 1 and Cop 2 arriving in the neighborhood and chasing after Django and Marty. We had to refilm the scene where they were chased and eventually caught after reaching a dead end. We also had to re-shoot the scene where Django and Marty looked at each other sentimentally and apologized to each other after getting handcuffed.

    Throughout the refilming process, we were all very focused and committed to getting the perfect shots. We carefully analyzed each scene, making sure that we captured the right emotions and angles. Our dedication to the process paid off, and we were pleased with the outcome.

    As we progressed through the day, we maintained our enthusiasm and energy, determined to make the most of the refilming session. We allocated enough time for each scene, and the process did not take as long as we had initially anticipated. Our teamwork and communication were critical in ensuring that everything went smoothly and that we accomplished everything we set out to do.

    In the end, we were all very satisfied with everything we had accomplished on this day of refilming. We felt that we had made significant progress towards completing our short film and that we were one step closer to achieving our collective goals. The day was a testament to the power of teamwork, communication, and commitment. We left the set feeling excited, and looking forward to the next step in the process.

Sound design: Finding sounds

Image
     Today was the day where my group mates and I would work on the process of sound design. Sound design is essential in films because it helps to create a more engaging and believable experience for viewers by immersing them in a realistic audio environment that complements the story being told. I was tasked with finding sounds and creating them so that we can later implement them into our film. And so I began searching online for many sound effects that can be used.      I began by specifically searching for a sound effect of a cell phone ringing as a cellphone is used a lot in earlier scenes. I searched through different collections of sound effects until I found the perfect ringtone that suited the atmosphere and ambiance of the scenes. After finding the ringtone, I then proceeded to search for another vital sound effect - the sound of footsteps.      The sound of footsteps would be particularly essential for a scene where Django and Marty break into the Jetsons household. It woul

Research blog: Music Video Conventions

Image
The song we decided on for our video was “Africa” by the band Toto.The song has been a favourite of mine for many years so this excited me quite a bit.      The band Toto is categorized as a rock band, therefore we need to look at typical rock band music videos to observe conventions.      Right off the bat one of the most common traits with all these rock and roll music videos is that the band members are in it for one reason or another. Sometimes they are acting a roll in the video, other times they are just playing in the background. We are obviously not Toto so that aspect might be different.      Another trope in many rock music videos is to bass the different parts of the video around the sound of the song. Many songs have faster, slower and higher, lower tempo portions. These changes impact the way the video flows through the different scenes and actions taking place. Most of the time the video is made to match the song. Occasionally it is the other way, especially with animated
