Research and Planning Blog

 The process of picking out the things for my commercial has felt natural. It hasn't been very hard and hasn't taken a lot of time either. When the topic is myself it's pretty easy. The song I chose was Instant Crush by Daft Punk. I chose this song because I grew up listening to it. This song resonates with me a lot and it was an easy pick for me. Picking the videos was not an issue either. I chose some videos of myself as well as some friends and family. The photos I chose were just photos of me and also family members and friends. The research wasn't a problem at all. I say this because there wasn't really anything to research. There wasn't anything I needed to research about myself that I didn't already know. Planning was a literal different. I had to think about where I was going to place each of the components. I also had to plan out how I was going to edit it and what I was going to do for overlapping audios. I expected to have more trouble with the planning. The only problem I've had is that I don't know much about editing. I have been using CapCut. I also did some experimenting beforehand with iMovie. I ended up choosing CapCut for a few reasons. The main reason was because I found it easier to maneuver around the software. Overall, research and planning went well.

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.

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...
