Map it Out

     After the storyboard had been completed, the group needed to meet up to discuss a few aspects of the project. Once we got together, some important details were worked out. Each member had a different set of ideas on how we should film, direct, and edit the project. Despite this, we were able to come to an agreement pretty quickly.

    One major aspect of the project we talked about was locations. We all agreed that some locations were required fro the project. Because we can not film at school, we have to get a little creative with the sets. Locations like the beach or parks are definitely on the list of places we want to film. The only issue with these places is how filming would play out. Because these areas are often loud and heavily impacted by the weather, it might be hard to film with good sound. Having the actors’ voices clear is imperative to the viewing experience of the project. Additionally, there may be a few scenes in homes or gyms to fill in certain moments. These sets would also help facilitate a training montage, which is very common in the sports genre. 

    Another part of the project that was discussed was the cast and crew. The members of the group will have total control of the filming, direction, and editing process. However, we will need some help with the acting. The group has agreed that we want to expand our cast outside of just us. To do so, we are asking friends and family to participate in the project. Additionally, many scenes will be filmed in crowded areas, so people will naturally be present in our project. The overall goal is to make the project feel very natural, so chemistry between characters and the presence of background characters is very important. 

    As we progress in the project, the group is continuously making changes to what we want to do. Luckily, we have many people in our group with differing ideas that will improve the quality of our project.

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.  ...

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

       For our first major assignment, we're working on a commercial. To get the job done I picked two of my good friends that I know can produce good work - Joshua Newell and Aidan Jones. Both are amazing at conjuring up creative ideas.       Joshua will be mainly handling the acting and props for the commercial. He's perfect for conveying the kind of emotion for this project. As my brother, I know he can handle a heavy workload and still create excellent work.  Joshua      My other teammate, Aidan, is just as competent. A creative and great student, Aidan will be handling most of the project's directing. Aidan is a big thinker who can get the job done efficiently. His perspective will add an invaluable quality to our work.  Aidan      Lastly, I will be doing all of the major editing for the project. I have some experience with free programs and am excited to bring that to the project. I will also be aiding...

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...
