The Conference Call


     Unfortunately, the group could not come together to film this week. This was extremely frustrating because it set us behind for a few days. Many of us were working, and when we weren't, others had obligations they couldn't miss. Despite this minor setback, we still made time to talk about our film. The group decided to do a phone call to work out the details of the project. Again, we were focusing on the opening. We are unfamiliar with the formatting of the intro. As a result, we all had many different ideas on how we should execute it. All of us provided input on how we could change certain scenes and dialogue to accommodate the opening. Though small decisions like the font have not been ironed out, we have a clear idea of how we want the names and titles to be displayed. This may require some of the scenes to be reshot, but we are perfectly fine with making this adjustment to get the best product we can. 

    The group agreed that we should implement landscape shots to establish the location of the film. Randy, an actor, and member of the group offered to film this portion on his own. This would be a major help as we don't have much time to film minor things like that. We are all splitting the role of director equally, so directorial choices like camera angle and shots were also discussed. Aidan and I made the decision to edit the film ourselves. I have the most experience editing and enjoy that part the most, so I have no issue with this. Working with Aidan will also give me a fresh pair of eyes to look for mistakes or better ways to do things. While we are still awaiting a response from Bakar and the other songwriters I contacted, the group looked at some free alternatives to implement non-diegetic audio into the film. Though we did not get to film this week, I still feel we made some progress with the project.

Our Pitches

      The group has several ideas on what we should make our video about. We have narrowed them down to three in order to make the decision easier for ourselves.      The first pitch surrounds two high athletes that play volleyball. The two are inseparable, but different in nature. One was always extremely passionate about volleyball, determined to improve and become a major player of the sport. For convenience, we will call this character Character A (or CA for short). The other character was never very interested in sports and was more intrigued by online endeavors (phones, gaming, etc.). This character will be called Character B (or CB). One day, CB is sitting on the stairs on his phone when CA is going down them. CA drops the volleyball in his hand, yelling for CB to watch out as it moves towards him. CB is caught off guard, dropping his phone as the yelling startles him. Miraculously, he is able to pass the ball back to CA perfectly and catch his ...

All About Me

       My favorite things are art and pop culture. As a result, many of my hobbies are related to both of those things.       The main things I enjoy are music and fashion, which conjoin the two aforementioned topics. My favorite brands are Mugler, Maison Margiela, and Diesel. I spend a lot of my time watching fashion shows from these brands. A dream of mine is to become a stylist or creative director of some kind. I also enjoy thrifting clothes and looking for vintage pieces online. My favorite periods for fashion and general inspiration are the 90s and 2000s.       As a result, I often reference iconic moments in those eras in my art. I make a lot of different kinds of art. I have been painting and drawing traditionally for most of my life. Recently, however, I’ve been drawing digitally more often. I prefer it because you have an endless amount of colors and brushes you can use and you can correct mistakes easily.  Some ...
