 Hi! Production for my commercial has been going well. The filming hasn’t been an issue. I’ve had some friends record me at some points. I’ve also set up a tripod and recorded myself. The editing hasn’t been a problem with CapCut. It’s not hard to merge videos and pictures on there. On CapCut they also make it easy to add a song. I’ve been spending a decent amount of time on this commercial. However, it has been fun. I’ve been learning a lot about filming. I’ve also been learning a lot about editing. I’ve gained a new appreciation for the field of movie making and filming. It’s a fun hobby and would definitely be a good job. I haven’t yet begun on my reflection. I also am still making tweaks and adjustments to my commercial. The reflection sounds like it won’t be a problem. My only issue so far is I haven’t been able to love what I’ve done. I feel like a perfectionist that can’t be happy with their craft. Overall, the production has been going well. It definitely has its challenges though.

Movie Research: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Image
  For the past week the group has been researching various thriller movies, the movie we're researching at the moment is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.   The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (TCM) is a long term favorite amongst scare enthusiasts and has touched the hearts of millions of fans. However, the most recent installment of the series is poorly rated by many due to its poor storyline. The TCM is a scary film and has some notable scenes that draw out fear in the audience but lack of interesting storyline makes it bland and unentertaining. The TCM uses tracking shots, close-ups and inserts. The TCM also uses very detailed props and costumes to immerse audiences such as chainsaws and leather masks.   The TCM fantastically uses jump scares and music to intensify the film and it truly terrifies the audience. The use of loud sounds leaves the audience cowering in fear and leaves them on the edge of their seats. The TCM also uses terrifying costumes to unsettle the audience ...

Production Blog (Planning)

 Hey Blog. This week has not been much work yet. Me and my group have been talking trying to plan out our filming. We plan to meet and film soon. We have one issue that has risen as of recently. For our video to work out how we want it we're going to need a new person. We need one person to kidnap. One person to film. One person to drive the car at the beginning. And finally, one person to get kidnapped. We have no one that wants to be kidnapped at the moment. We have a couple people that we might be able to rely on. They are all in other classes. Meeting with them and getting something set up might be hard. We want to make the kidnapped person a girl. We feel as though the intro sequence would be a bit scarier if a girl was taken. I believe our group will meet soon. We do not have too much time as Anthony is very busy. Anyways, that is all for now. Bye blog.

Our film will take place at night though. Schedule:  By 02/20 we will be meeting consistently to properly plan out our filming  By 02/27 we will have begun filming our first takes of the intro sequence  By 03/05 we will have filmed everything and will soon begin editing  After these dates there are a few things still to be done. We will be editing the video alongside preparing for the CCR. Health: For the most part our film shouldn’t be too dangerous. We are filming at nighttime so we will have to make sure that when we are on the street to check both sides of the road for any cars coming by. We also have to includ...
