Target Shopping Blog

Filming started on Tuesday, November 30th. Before filming began I talked to my group about what we were doing and where to meet exactly. I didn't want to leave any details out as I didn't want to waste my time. To film my group and I went to the Target at Coral Ridge Mall at 4:30 PM. I decided to meet up with my groupmates at the entrance of Target. This is where filming would begin first. I originally suggested the location as there were good props for our video. I viewed some birthday items such as confetti and party hats. After that I bought what I thought would look nice for the music video. After observing the area and objects around, I assigned one of my group members to film. While different people act one of my groupmates would film me and other people. My role in the video was an actor that would be buying props for a party. I had to do several different takes as the angles may have not been what I envisioned. Finally the perfect scene had been finished and I thought it looked good so my group continued on. After I bought the items at target my group went to a nearby Publix. While at Publix I searched for something that may improve the video. After, I decided the video would look a lot better with a cake in it. The cake was purchased and my group thought it was a really good addition. I gave the party supplies to one of my group members to save for the filming. Lastly, I took the cake home with me to store until we needed it.

Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Image
 One thing that 12 Monkeys does is make it seem very dull on purpose. The short film uses a narrator with a very monotone voice to show this off. Also, the movie uses still images and adds voiceovers or other sounds to them after. This once again achieves the same goal, being to make the film detached. Le Jetee uses certain transitions to acquire a "dream-like ambiance" which helps to contrast the clean shots when characters are conversing. The film also uses audio to great effect and adds it a lot of important and disturbing imagery to amplify the visuals. An example used for this is the audio of a heart beating for a dramatic and intense scene. This helps the audience feel the intensity of the pictures being shown as if their own heart was racing. Another example of this is a slick and romantic score for a positive effect on the audience, once again enhancing the images. One thing the short film does is dip into multiple genres which makes the film more diverse and appealin...

Editing for Short Film Begins

Image
 Today we will be starting editing for the short film. Editing begins with software to make changes to the scenes we shot. While I am not experienced in editing, I can still give advice and recommendations on edits. Also, I can discuss what I want to see being edited in the film. Besides that, my group did the editing itself. Due to this, I will be discussing what they did and how I am involved. First of all, my groupmates who edited have experience in editing. This was the reason why they edited the film rather than me. Also, they have experience in different software for editing. Despite this, we ended up staying primarily with iMovie. I suggested iMovie for many reasons. The main reason to use iMovie is that it's free, allowing it to be an affordable option for all. It's also accessible on all devices. iMovie can be found on laptops, phones, and tablets. This makes iMovie the obvious choice for editing the short film. iPhone also has good editing tools in itself, allowing a ...

Production For My Short Film Continues

Image
I'm back to filming! This time we continued filming in the mall. It was the same location as last time as we were familiar with it already. We needed to be more careful with the scheduling of our filming this time. The filming location was a mall but unfortunately, it closed before we could get further into production. This filming day was different as we got to continue and further develop our short film. Before leaving my house, I checked the hours of the mall closing time to ensure the same mistake would not be repeated twice. I set a specific time for everyone to arrive at the location to film but we all arrived a bit later than intended. Luckily, this was barely a setback for us and we started right away. Because we chose to film on a weekday after school, the mall didn't have as many people as it would've on another day. While filming, I said my lines and acted out the scenes to the best of my ability. I messed up a few times and we needed to redo a few scenes until I...
