"Same group", different year.

  Although it isn't  the same group since were missing our final partner Demaine, regardless my group consists of two members excluding myself. We have Nicole, and Jordyn. They are all individually good students that will always get their work done by the due date. I feel very comfortable with them in my group. By working with them for a whole year by sitting with them I've been able to asses their strengths and weaknesses in these different media studies project aspects. Nicole is a somewhat procrastinator, but in the end she always pulls through and finishes her work, while also taking care of her brother. Another problem we run into with Nicole too is that she also has a job, Nicole works at Pollo Tropical which is a popular chicken/Hispanic restaurant chain here in America, thankfully Nicole's hours are more stretchable than which means more free time for filming, editing, etc. Lastly Jordyn, I've been witness to her magic all through our previous year and i can affirm she's very hardworking and takes notes of everything, which is so useful for lazy people like me. She also has a job Aeropostale, which is a clothing store, but im sure shell pull through for the project and get her part of the job done. Overall I'm ecstatic to work with this group again we had much fun last year with this course and we are ready to run it back, we got much confidence that we'll pull through this year like we did the last.

Genre Research: Comedy

Image
  My group and I are also researching comedy. As much as we want action, we also need to laugh. A comedy would also be a lot easier for us since we can just be ourselves. Comedy movies have a lot of close- ups, pans, long shots, and zooms. Close ups allow you to lead your audience into a more intimate setting. You can literally bring your audience closer to the action. And it emphasizes the importance of what we see. But as the push continues, it all breaks, letting viewers know they're watching a comedy movie.Long shots  give an overall context to the scene and usually lets viewers know that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the whole picture... until it zooms all the way out. Static shots, or stand still shots, build suspense. In comedy movies it allows room for the characters to correct themselves or something, Almost like a "wait for it" moment. Zooms emphasize expressions shown throughout the film. Props used in comedy films range from nothing to everything- like a t...

   Props Being that our commercial is an Apple Watch commercial, our main prop will be the Apple Watch. However we will also have different color Apple Watch bands as well as props aswell Costumes We have came up with these costumes to flow with the message we are trying to portray of the apple watch within that scene. Therefore, two of us will be exempliying the athletics perks of the Apple Watch, by wearing athletic clothing, to show the health and workout benefits of the watch. Another scene will include one of us wearing a really nice outfit, which may include, but is not limited to a nice shirt, jeans and some nice shows. This will help show the customization part of the watch and how stylist it can be and easy access it can. Basically proving the theory "a phone on your wrist".  Schedule  September 23rd:  Our group researched the codes and conventions of Apple Watch commercials  September 24th:  Our group started to plan the different props we ar...

Film review changes

Image
My group and I worked on our film in class. We talked about what modifications we thought needed to be made before we started. My colleagues and I showed our video to strangers last week. They offered us their feedback on how they liked our film and what modifications they thought should be made once they had seen it. We reviewed which adjustments we could and couldn't change as the group went around discussing what changes they were told to make. Many users claimed that the sound was an issue, and that it was difficult to hear specific parts of the actor or actress. Damaine did his best to improve the volume, but it couldn't be adjusted completely without re-filming everything. The editing was also brought to our attention as a concern. We'd have to fix it because some people thought it looked choppy. Damaine corrected what he could as the rest of the crew and I stood behind him, watching what he was doing. He also edited out certain sections that we thought were unneeded ...
