Trouble in Paradise


 Since our last filming day, we haven’t been able to record. It’s a very frustrating situation because we couldn’t do anything about it. The weather has been awful, so the scenes we would shoot would look nothing like the material we already have. The outdoor scenes we have require sunny weather. It has been raining constantly, so we could not film at the park we filmed at previously. Essentially, time is being wasted due to poor conditions. For now, we have been working on the draft of our project. I sent my mockup to Aidan, my fellow editor, to look over. He had some interesting feedback to give me. He re-edited some portions of the montage. Additionally, he changed the music for the project entirely. I feel that this made a vast improvement to what we had already. Even though the beginning is nearly complete, we still have to film the later portion of the project. The entire ending needs to be shot. This will require more actors outside of the group. We have all talked to our friends and family to see who can join us to complete the project. We plan on filming after school because everyone will be together. Since the park is close to our school, we can all make it there easily to film the ending scene. The ending scene is going to be the volleyball tryouts. Throughout the beginning of the film, we emphasize the importance of this event and how badly Randy’s character wants to make the team. I feel that ending the film on this note is perfect as the tension around the event has been consistently built up until that point in the film. Our only issue at this point is getting good weather to film in. Once that happens, we’ll be well on our way to completing the 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...
