Planning Blog: Storyboard

  Hello and welcome back to my blog! Page One: The film starts with a teenage girl, named Hailey, being awoken by the sound of her blaring alarm clock. An eyeline match then cuts to a close up of the alarm clock. A title is placed above it before she hits snooze. Next, a close up of shows Hailey’s feet as she steps out of bed. She stretches to wake up before yelling out to her mom. When she hears no response, she decides to stumble into her bathroom to get ready.  Page Two: Once in the bathroom, Hailey bends over into the sink to wash her face. A title is placed above her head. After washing her face, she examines in the mirror before leaving the bathroom. Using a tracking shot, the teen is followed out into the hallway where she calls out for her mother again.

A pan is used to show the empty living room, which prompts a f...

Small Set Backs

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  Just when everything seemed to be falling into place for our film project, a curveball was thrown our way. Andres, one of our group members and the persons whose house we are planned to use became sick. With his health as the top priority, we had to postpone filming at his house. With this unexpected setback, I didn’t want it to ruin our plans entirely. Instead, I saw it as an opportunity to regroup and replan. The first thing I wanted to do was make some changes to the storyboard. Instead of started off in the kitchen, I thought it would be better to start with some establishing shots of the house. This way, our viewers would be better eased into the plot. I also realized that our warped lamp and mis-colored plant scene were not going to be effective.

When I tried to color the plant, parts of the background also became colored and it looked very bad....

Review Blog: The Final Touches

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My journey through this music video process has been an interesting one, but it is now coming to an end. However, we still had one last issue. Something was missing from our editing in our music video, but we weren't sure what it was.  At first, I thought it was clip lengths. Maybe the scenes were too long and therefore making the video seem boring or uninteresting. When I rewatched the video, I realized it wasn't the length, but instead the editing. I brought this up to my group members and they agreed that we needed to add another editing technique to our video. After some deliberation, we decided to add a split screen at the beginning of the video. This split screen would allow us to show more of the getting ready process in an easy and eye-catching way. It also wouldn't add any extra time to the video.  Now that the minor issues were resolved, it was time to review the video. While reviewing the video, I counted out all the mise en sce...
