Production Blog- Falling into Place

 Today is the day I finally get to film my music video. I'm going to walk somewhere after school and film with two friends. I had been stressing about this project for a while, I thought it would be a lot easier. I guess I was wrong. Finding someone to work with was definitely kind of difficult. All of the groups were full, or had already done their video. I have two friends who originally had 4 people in their group, but the other two members bailed. We decided to group up and now we already have plans to film today. I'm really glad I finally found people who can work with me. I thought I'd just have to resort to cloning myself or something. I texted my mom and asked her if I could go with my group mates to record the video, and thankfully, I got approval. I don't really have anything else to talk about regarding the project. Homecoming on Saturday was amazing, I had a lot of fun. Even though the drinks were terrible, I'd still say it was worth it. The iced tea was absolutely horrible and tasted like medicine, it was bitter. The food was okay, I guess. Tickets were really expensive, but at least we were able to get a really nice venue. It was super loud there, music was blaring and I almost lost my voice because I had to yell just to talk to someone. Anyway, recording this music video is probably gonna be annoying to do. I forgot about the mandatory angles if I'm being honest, but I'll try to incorporate them.

Production Blog- The Beginning

Image
 I have set out to begin working on my music video. I have a few volunteers for acting, which is really good. I plan to be in charge of filming and editing because that's what I do best. I used to have a YouTube channel from the ages of 9-12, so I have experience in that field. For a while, editing was my passion, and I'm confident I can make a decent final product. After I made my storyboard, I visualized the main idea for the project. As the first step, I started off by downloading the necessary editing apps. Then, I sought out to research cameras and maybe see if I could buy one that is better quality than my phone. This did not work out, I am broke and cannot afford the camera I so dearly want. Okay well, I'm not broke, just cheap. On top of that, I only have enough money for a cheap camera, and I refuse to settle for lower quality. If I can convince my parents to get me a $400 camera, that'd be awesome! I would love to get my hands on a Canon EOS Rebel T100. Or may...

Production: Script/Screenplay

Image
 My script doesn't have much dialogue whatsoever. It actually only has two lines where the characters speak. The point of the lack of speech in the script is to create a sense of mystery and suspense. I want whoever is watching to be confused as to what's happening. This will have them wondering what this suspicious character is about to do. I will copy and paste my script here so that you can read it. INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DUSK To establish the scene, Character 1 is seen setting up the Christmas tree.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - ACROSS THE STREET - DUSK  Character 2 stands menacingly outside Character 1's house, with the objective to enter.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - THE BACKYARD - DUSK Character 2 decides to enter through the back where they will not be seen. They jump the fence, their identity remaining obscured INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - KITCHEN/DINING ROOM - DUSK Character 1 is seen preparing something in the kitchen, seemingly unawa...

Our Pitch

Image
 Pitch 1: Long lost twins find each other after being switched up at birth Pitch 2: Millionaire leaves his wife for someone else under the assumption that she's poor, but she turns out to be the richest person in the world I probably wouldn't be interested in doing the first plot. This is because it's super basic, just very cliche. To be honest, me and my partner haven't had the chance to discuss anything. We just agreed to come up with random plots then mutually agree on one. But the first plot I definitely wouldn't pick, only because of how unoriginal it is. Pitch 2 is more interesting to me personally, so I would most likely pick this one. These kinds of dramas are also common, but they're just way more entertaining. It's also really enjoyable, and with the right technique, you can make it more unique than other dramas. The inspiration for me choosing this pitch came from those webtoons and the short story video apps. I actually like this one a lot more, ...
