Movie Trailer

Pre-production and development

So when Mr. Cooper told us that our next project would be to recreate a movie trailer I was very excited.  But then he told us that our groups were assigned and that lessened my excitement, I was fine with working with Anna but Blake was the one I was worried about because every time I'd worked with him in the past he was super lazy. When we decided our project would be the Breakfast Club (mostly due to the cast size and the location) we started the casting process along with the storyboard. Blake was fine in the beginning, he volunteered to be Bender and was  the cinematographer, but he also wanted to do part of the storyboard and never ended up bringing it. The casting actually went really smoothly and we began to shoot.

Production

The production was rocky at the start, the scheduling was tricky due to Crew and Emma's theater rehearsals and on top of that, Blake didn't show up for shooting so we had to recast bender in less than 24 hours. Thankfully Crew was able to get his brother to do it so we were back on track. On the next day of shooting, we finished it up, Blake did show up for shooting that day but he was not happy about the recasting so he was being a jerk to the res of the cast, he left about an hour into the shoot so that was that. But we wrapped shooting and that was great because everyone was busy on all the other days of the week.

Post Production and Conclusion

Thankfully, the post production went along rather smoothly. The only snag was that we could not find the background music. So we ended up using Johnny B Goode for it. Overall I think the project was a good experience for me to try out directing and a takeaway from it was that like the last project I need to choose who I work with more carefully, granted I did not have a choice but I also learned that scheduling is essential.

CSS Web Project

What we did This past week we created another web page but this one was for a poem called "Another Reason I don't keep a gun in the House". We began by adding in the starting files and we then created new rules on the different parts such as the headings. Those got changed to different colors, sizes, etc. Once done we added some links and text of our own. The project was fairly easy and simple to be honest. At the beginning the site was just a white page with a dog picture and some text but by the end it had a black background with different text colors and a great variety. CARP Contrast is the first letter of CARP and boy was there variety in this project. The texts were different colors and the colors had great contrast with each of their respective background. A great example is the darker tan text on a light tan background. Another was the text sizes with each other. Alignment is the next letter, this relates to how the text was aligned. The heading/titles ...

The Grand Finale: Recap of my final year in ecomm

Image
The Five Guarantees Over the past four years in ecomm, one thing has been the same, there have been 5 guarantees that we stand by: Technical skills, communication, collaboration, leadership, and project management. Something I took away from Technical skills was that it helped me learn how to handle equipment and adapt more quickly to things I haven't used before. I think that's pretty important in life because evolving and adapting is something we do all throughout our lives. I learned it through experience on set and teachers showing me how to use the equipment. It could be difficult at points, especially when it wouldn't work, but I would power through. I'm still not great at operating the camera, but I am proficient at using adobe software. Next up, communication. Communication made me take away that to get something done, everyone needs to be on the same page. If you aren't on the same page, then the project typically is a jumbled mess. I faced many challenges ...

Film Reel 2021

Image
The process So over the past few weeks we have been working on creating new film reels for ourselves. As we started, I had an idea to use"Don't Stop Me Now" for my music in the reel. Clearly that didn't work out, as I found out, I didn't have enough high energy clips to match the pace of the song. After that I was stuck on trying to find a new song, but I was also working on the feature script so I had to make a decision fast. I ended up using "Gangsta's Paradise" from my last film reel. Needless to say, it fit my style perfectly once again. On top of my clips from the last film reel, I now added more scenes from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Wii" commercial. Overall reflection      Overall, I thought that my reel showcased my style really well. I tried to go for a more comedic style of reel as that's what I prefer to make genre-wise. Some solid examples of this is many of the clips from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Tears of T...
