Change of Plans

-
    Ever since we started planning out this project, we knew that one of the major scenes we wanted to record was a scene with a cop car to start off our film opening. 

    Before break, we had originally planned that we were going to meet up at Aaliyah's house and use a cop car that she would be able to access at the time. Aaliyah and her mother had taken initiative and gotten in contact with a police officer that they knew that would be able to help us in using his car to film a quick scene for our establishing shot. However, over break there were some complications, both with scheduling and availability of the cop, and we lost our opportunity to film with him. 

    We weren't really sure what to do at first, because without a cop car we would not be able to film the scene and we would need to find a replacement scene AND film it, and at this point that just seemed like way too much for us to handle. 

    Luckily, Xander, one of our friends, had gotten in contact with us letting us know that he would be able to record with us and we could use his father's car that has cop car lights installed. This was honestly such a relief, because now we had a plan set in stone yet again and were able to record the scene that so many of us were looking forward to!

    Because of short notice, I didn't have a ride, so thankfully Jacob and Tyler were able to give me a ride so that I could join the group in the last section of filming. 

We listened to music on the way there, got to Xander's house, recorded the very last scene that we needed, and were glad to call it a day. Thankfully that went as smoothly as it did, because things could've really went south in terms of planning.

  Here is my Creative Critical Reflection! Here I dissected each component of my film based off of four questions: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? How did your production skills develop throughout this project? How did you integrate technologies- software, hardware and online – in this project? This was one of the very last components of this project and my experience with it, so I hope that you enjoyed this as much as I did! Kayla Jencic's CCR

Color Use

Color theory has always been something that has inspired me in the world of media. I loved learning about the pure impact and meaning that color can have in film, and how something as simple as the color of someone's shirt at the right moment can mean so much. I'm glad to say that our group used the color theory when it came to the outfits of each character, something that I am actually REALLY proud of. It's always been something so interesting to me, and being able to implement it into our own film was just an amazing feeling.                                      Felicity Rox My character, AKA Felicity, wears a purple sweater vest, a black skirt, leggings, and ballet flats with bright silver jewelry and a silver headband. The reasoning behind her outfit ties back to color theory. Her outfit consists mainly of elegant colors like purple and black- both of which are associated with luxury, powe...

Finished Project Feelings!

       The day has come! My group and I are OFFICIALLY and completely done with our project, with everything from preparing, to filming, to editing. Obviously, I am quite excited, but not because I didn't enjoy the process. There is a weight that is now lifted off my shoulders, because I feel like we have been working towards this moment for a VERY long time, and now that it is all finally over with I am so happy. However, this project has allowed me to learn so many new skills that without taking this class, I would not have been able to learn and apply like I have through this project. I have learned how to blog, how to edit: importing media, adding sound, syncing up audio with video, and so much more, how to act (kinda LOL), and so much more. This project has truly opened my eyes to the depth of the world of film making, and now more than ever do I appreciate those that work in the field of film making. Now understanding all the elements, such ...
