The Gang’s All Here

Our group decided to stay together for this project. Joshua Newell and Aidan Jones are my two partners. Working together was easy and we agreed on many things. Joshua was great at acting in the last project, and Aidan was a great help with the directing and editing.

In the next project, our roles are most likely going to switch. Depending on what song we choose, either of us will be acting. All of us will most likely partake in the direction of the video. I will most likely continue to edit, unless I am acting in the video. Our song choice will most likely determine who will do the acting. Our last project only required one or two actors, but the same may not be true for this one.

The group has many different ideas on what we should do. We all like a vast majority of music genres, and that makes it hard to decide on what song to pick. Another issue with picking a song is whether or not we can produce a video that aligns with the song’s genre. Music videos on average are very expensive, and we of course have a low budget. Getting around that will prove to be a challenge, but I’m hopeful that we can produce something of quality.

This project is gonna be much longer than the last, so we need to upgrade many different things. New editing, new shots, new locations - I’m hoping to try a lot of different things with this new project. Our song choice must reflect that.

Each group member is determined to bring something new to the table. We had a great time working together and want to extend that onto our latest project. Currently, we’re brainstorming ways to make that happen.

No One Likes a Third Wheel, But Now We’re a Car!

For the previous projects, I have continuously worked with Joshua Newell and Aidan Jones. I have found that working with them has produced consistently good work. We are able to communicate well and our schedules coincide, allowing us to get a lot of work done. While all of this is true, our group decided to add another member to the mix. We have decided to team up with Randy Sweeting. There were several reasons why we wanted to add another member to the group. Most of them came from our last project. When filming the music video, we had trouble splitting the work load. It was a bigger project than the first, and we wanted to include more actors. This posed a challenge to the three of us, because we would all have to be present on camera. Additionally, we wanted a different perspective. The three of us agree on a lot of things. As a result, we sometimes miss out on better ideas or more efficient practices because we are so likeminded. ...

Get Your Popcorn.. Let’s Watch A Movie

Now that the group has chosen what genre and concept we want our final project to be, it’s time to watch a few films that follow the conventions of the sports genre. Today’s film will be Creed 2, directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Michael B. Jordan alongside Sylvester Stallone. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? The elements of this picture that relate to our genre would be that it is louder, grander, and greater than the first one. By maintaining an emphasis on the humanity of its main characters, it is able to correct itself. More than any punch delivered in the ring, whether Rocky will see his son again and the tribulations of the recent Creed couple are the subjects of greater suspense. The boxing scenes are fascinating and fun. Also, it gives fans a feast of entertainment. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like? I enjoy how Adonis and Viktor...

On the Nice List

Upon further inspection, our footage wasn’t as bad as I described. We had a lot of salvageable shots. As a result, we are going to keep the footage we have already taken. However, we are going to go back to the park to take some simple shots to make the beginning less choppy. Thankfully, we won’t have to pay to be in the area of the park we have to film this at. Plans to reshoot went well. We got the basic shots we needed to fill out certain spots in the video. Now, it’s time to edit. We choose to split up the work between us. This was to ensure that each of us had a say in the vision for the video. Splitting the work also alleviates the burden of editing it all by one’s self. Unfortunately, the equipment I was using didn’t allow me to work with computer software to edit the video. The laptop I had was broken and unreliable, so I went back to the editing software I used in the previous project. I started by putting all the takes we took in a big project and muting each...
