Filming Blog: The Process

 I was the camera man/ director in this music video. I would rather do the behind-the-scenes because I don't like being on camera. I guess you can say I'm a little camera shy. So we arrived to Akiel's house and went straight to working. The first scene I shot was Akiel's sister talking to Sarah about some problems. That was a pan because I made sure to move the camera with them. The second scene I took was Sarah sneaking to meet Akiel at this house. I made sure to get an angle from behind Sarah to one in front of her. One problem I had was that everyone wasn't dressed up to par for a certain scene. So I had to come up with a whole scene because that one was really important. (10) I also wanted a bedroom scene but we were too scared to go into Akiel's house. He had a dog and we were terrified of it. So we also had to do something else for that. The next scene I filmed was Akiel's sister catching Akiel and Sarah in the car together. After that I filmed the part where you can see Akiel and Sarah sneaking glances and kisses at each other. They were holding hands also. Then the last scene I filmed was Akiel's sister singing. For some reason this was the hardest one because she couldn't stop laughing. There were so many takes it didn't make sense. For something that was supposed to take 1 minute, it took 10. It all came out good in the end though.

Genre Research: Brotherly Love

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Brotherly love is a film about a high-school basketball player, his sister, and their older brother who face life-changing decisions as they struggle to make something of themselves. Like most dramas, it is a tale of broken bonds, heartbreak, and revenge. In our film “Life for life: A losing game” we plan on incorporating all of those and many more to produce the complete and versatile drama. The surrounding element that directly relates to our movie is the deception and anger caused by being done wrong by others. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? The element of betrayal and deception is what I like the most. Being deceived is something almost every individual has experienced and can relate to. Our goal is to make our film interesting, breathe taking, and more importantly relatable in some way. No matter if the relationship is small, any kind of relation grants a diff

Production Blog: Final Task

 It's finally over!! Boy was this journey stressful. We didn't do everything we wanted to do, but it still came out okay. We know we put our all into it and that's all that matters. We had to do a LOTT of trimming. We honestly didn't even do all of the scenes because we didn't think that it would be so long. We cut 4 minutes into 2 minutes and we didn't use all the scenes. Here's our final task though, I hope you enjoy!!
