Filming

Filming for Violent Crimes

For our music video, there were a lot of clips. Meaning we had to do a lot of filming. Overall, I already had a creative idea in my head but I wanted to portray it on the screen. Therefore, making my visionary ideals easy for me to execute. Some of the aerial shots that we took an also crane views were a little bit harder to capture. For our third shot, we had to actually tape my phone to the ceiling to get it. And it wasn't even as good as we wanted it to be. There was a lot of frustration throughout the filming. Yet it was an overall unforgettable in a great experience. We started off with filming an aerial shot then kept that throughout our film. A lot of our shots were so we could essentially if that immersed feeling the viewer. We wanted them to feel as almost if they were inside our music video. Then we also see a lot of them over the shoulder shots. This first-person perspective was crucial for our music video. We see a lot of technology throughout the video we just highlighted through the angling of the older shoulders. by giving the viewer this almost first-person perspective, it gives the viewer this attachment to the characters. And with each clip, adds more and more to the storyline. A lot of the crane shots and aerials also help give the viewer a better feel too. Essentially, we are making the viewer feel as almost if they're watching over our actor Paola. at her, most vulnerable moments and are happiest. The deeper meaning of the music video is also seen within these shots. By making sure our lighting was there within our clips also just added on to each shot making it more and more detailed and clean. Overall there's a lot of shots making this a very elaborate video. Yet the viewer gets a different take and feel with each of them which makes it all worthwhile.  While there were a lot of takes and different shots. In turn, leads to a better quality video for not only our peers but Cambridge.  

Not sure why it's so pixilated... :(

Genre Research: Arrival

Image
  I watched this movie about two years ago and fell in love. The plot, the actors, and the message were beautiful.  Very few films linger in my mind the way Arrival did. But even after several viewings, on each watch, Arrival offers a new interpretation, a fresh point of view, or a renewed perception of events. The movie questions our linear concept of time, this business of starting from the beginning and stopping at the end. But they made us ask, what if time, to suit our intent, could be bent, formed, molded? And she doesn't always have the answers in the future and always has to fill these open holes with up-to-date knowledge from the present; explanations such as the name of her husband, presenting the answer to a science question for her daughter, and how she came to receive insight from the future. In an infinite loop, the future, the past, and the present all benefit from each other. A new perspective on how we live life is offered by the message given. The aliens can ...

Genre Research: Thriller & Drama

Image
  Thriller Common lighting in this genre is backlighting, under lighting, and lowkey lighting. This helps to create a dark and mysterious atmosphere and helps to conceal the character's identity, which adds to that suspense.  Some common camera angles are close-ups shots, which exemplify the emotions of the characters or frames an object, to be at attention. Point of view shots allow the viewers to feel emotionally engaged because they feel as though they are the character.  Tracking is a common camera movement that follows the character's action but at the same doesn't spoil the movie.  For this genre costumes usually worn by the antagonist are darker. Weapons are commonly used as props to help convey risk and danger.  The settings are normally in an intense location usually secluded.  A common form of editing in this genre is parallel editing which helps to add tension and illustrate the character's emotions.  The sounds this genre usually contains a...

We also are representing a wide social class within our video. Essentially the group  that  representing is teenage girls  and also  women in general. Essentially our targeted audience is all and everyone. We are shining a light on toxic relationships. Henceforth we see such acts all throughout our video. We also see highlights from fake friends and such. Our main point of this video  was  to represent the class of women that is essentially not seen because society ignores women's issues especially when it comes to toxic relationships.  W omen  are  seen as  overdramatic  and over victimized. Yet within society, there isn't enough light on these toxic relationships and friendships. Wh...
