Music Video


This was the first music video that both Margarita and I have ever done together. Margarita and I believe that we conveyed our message conscientiously. Our purpose was to send the message to women, and people in general, to love themselves and be who they want. We hope the audience gets our message through what we produced. The way we transmitted our message into the music video was through filming and editing. 

Since the scenes we had to film were planned beforehand, it was not as difficult to execute filming. It was easy to work together and meet up for filming since we live close to each other. For filming, both of us learned how to be prepared and punctual. Due to the pandemic we are currently living through, we had to limit our setting options; we decided the safest option was to film at Margarita's house. Our filming skills enhanced tremendously with this project by practicing our camera shots, angles, and movements. 

For this crucial project, Margarita and I used Cute CUT Pro to edit for the first time. We were both beginners in using this editing application, so we had some complications at first. We were able to gain experience on editing and importing an audio on Cute CUT Pro. As we spent more time on editing our music video, we started to get comfortable with using Cute CUT Pro and having good results with the effects and transitions we added. Not only did our filming skills improve, but so did our editing skills as we learned a variety of aspects of editing on Cute CUT Pro. 

Margarita and I have worked together before in previous projects, so it was easier to communicate. Since we also planned filming and editing ahead in our storyboard, it cleared the path and made it less rough to get work done. We learned to give each other feedback and advice on what we could improve on. We are both satisfied with the project as a whole. This project was great practice to improve our planning, filming and editing skills.

Final task: Filming and editing process

Image
As of recently, my partner and I have to decided to start our filming process on March 8, 2021. Unfortunately we could not begin filming before due to serveral reasons. Our actress playing Irene, is out of town and will be arriving March 6, 2021, which is the major reason of why we decided to begin on March 8. The actor playing Johnny also could not film earlier because he had plans involving school homework, studying for several tests and work. My partner and I looked out for our actors and decided to begin filming on a day everybody would be available.  We finished all of our planning and research and now we will prepare for filming. As of now, we have not changed or added new locations for our opening sequence. We have set all of our plans for our settings and when we will go to our assigned locations. We have also not added anything new to our scripts or storyboard, however, if changes are made they will be included in the blogs. We carefully chose the actors for our opening se...

Genre Research: The Giver

What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Another movie we will use to base our final task on is The Giver.  The Giver is a science fiction movie which is based on a novel. The setting of  The Giver was in an isolated piece of land broken off and disconnected from the rest of the world. This set up the plot of the story of the film.  In the movie they use a lot of different filming techniques to express the different emotions throughout the film.  Since the movie is about "The receiver of memories" they use zooms, close-ups, establishing shots, track, mid-shots, low and high angles and many more to show the emotions of the characters in the story. Since in the story the giver is giving the receiver all of his memories and teaching him the emotions one by one these different CAMS portray the different emotions.  The giver shows a lot of technology with the use of holograms, fake trees, the houses ar...
