CCR Prep

 CCR Prep

    Hey Blogg! Today I started prepping for my CCR! Im planning on starting ,my recording process Tuesday however im still waiting in confirmation from my friends who will also be participating. I have bought a red carpet with famous items to record that part on Wednesday which I plan on doing in my backyard. My plan is to go with a small group to the movie theater tuesday at night in which were filming the not brushing hair scenes and waiting scene. For the second CCR I was maybe considering podcast or maybe like gameshow however I feel like tis not that orignal which is essential to authenticity.

CCR Research Question 1 & 2

 CCR Research Question 1 & 2

Question 1:

"How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?"

    I first began doing a quick overview on convention and social groups or issues. Some social issues my film opening deals with is the way relationships nowadays are can be so disconnected and disassociated fue to multiple factors it leads to untrust along with never really knowing who you're spending most of your time with. However a way our products challenges conventions is by not going the typical jump scare, suspenseful horror but a more eery one in which audience is left stop by.

Question 2:

"How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

It engages with audiences because even though dealing with the topic of never fully knowing someone is pretty common and relatable its also not a typical situation a person is stuck in which i why is engages the audience. When it comes to distribution it would probably be submitted into smal films festivals or websites where you can upload film and have htme presented someone.

Planning for CCR #1

 Planning for CCR #1

Hi Blog! Since my film opening is almost finishes I finally started brainstorming for my CCR at first it was super hard I had a really hard time coming up with something until our group meeting yesterday where a idea finally came up to me. 

    My plan is to record me and my friends walking into the movie theater where im going to say "Im so exited to watch "Killer Instincts" with our popcorn and everything ready suddenly im not going to be paying attention where im going to trip over something and fall as I fall im going to enter this dream where im the director of the movie and im going be in a red carpet answering the first two questions about it: 

• "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?"
• "How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

    After answering them im going to wake up from the dream in which my friends were trying to get me awake from and im going to brush it off saying im ok and walking into watch the movie.

Group Meeting #2

 Group Meeting #2

Hi Blogg! Today we had our second Group meeting during the meeting we all showed each other our blog as well as our progress so far with the overall project and the film opening. We first saw Maxi's and Arthurs in which they explained they had to still record a part of their project buy were having issues with availability of all group member overall their project look pretty solid and good. Miranda rthen showes some of the clips she had since she had not yet started recording and it was really cool to see they did this shot using eggs which was super creative! Afterwards I showe mine thye really liked it however they did agree that we had to re shot the bathroom scene and gave me a suggestion on deleting one of the blowing candles shot during the credit sequence. We then saw the other projects which I think were great! I really enjoyed hearing from their perspective and being able to see others progress along with discussing ideas for the CCR.

Music/ Editing

 Music/ Editing Process

Hey!! Today is a pretty exiting day we began editing a little portion of our project! We began editing and so far one of our favorite parts is what is yet to be the credit sequence the scenes for it I our opinion turned out really great along with the editing and special effect we are liking it a lot so far.  As we where recording our project and we began editing our main character Juandi noticed we were having struggle picking a copyright free music that we felt matched our project so him being a musician himself recorded a piano song he made he felt would be fit for the project which was ideal for us! We are super greatful and super exited about finishing editing and seeing the final product! I will insert the video he sent us with his song and how the credit sequence is looking so far!

Process Recording Film Opening

 Detailed Explanation of Recording Process

Heyy Blog!! Today I will be going in detail into how our actual recording of the scenes went down. We began by recording the back shot of Naty and Juandi sitting down on the couch followed by him getting up to go to the bathroom we dedicated a lot of time into the bathroom scene and we were still not fully satisfied with it. It was first having to put the fake blood on it and then helping Juandi understand the way we wanted it to look like. We then had to re shoot it once we were all done because we realized you could see me recording the shots in the mirror which was pretty frustrating. We then moved on to filming Naty prepping the knifes and then the arguments. The clips which are going to be used for the credit sequence came out super natural we hadn’t planned yet how we wanted that to fully look and as were were organizing everything back and blowing the candle the idea came which was amazing because it turned out just like we wanted it to.

Videos Ilustrating Process

Videos Illustrating Process

Hello Blog! Today I decided to have a fun interactive way of showing our process. I created a video blog along with that I will also be showing how the mini "movie" we created to be in the background showing how it ended up looking like! The movie as I mentioned before had some struggles so we added editing in which I will also upload the original version to show the difference these editing made on the way the its shown specially when projected on tv.

 

 

Ilusitration Process/ Set Up

 

Set Up For Filming

Hello Blog! Today we finally filmed our project!! We were originally filming in natys house however last minute we ended up having to film at mine. We began by filming the movie we would be playing on the tv in which we used a morphe palet for the makeup which we later put on Annie's neck we then headed over to the garage where we applied the fake blood  we had to be very careful so we could make sure we got no stain. After applying naty and the main guy character we used Juandi.  We began filming tried different angles however when we finally saw it we didn’t exactly love how it turned out. We decided to edit it by lowering exposure making some adjustment to the picture and sharpens along with making it black and white. This made it turn out exactly how we initially wanted it. We then headed over to my living room turned down all the curtain set cancels all over the living room along with turning off all of the lights. We took like 10 minutes trying to figure out how to project it in the tv but we ended up figuring it out!

 

Building Character/ Changes & Fixes

Building Character/ Changes & Fixes

 Since our recording struggle I decided to do more research on the main character building of the guy. I have mentioned multiple times on the blog how I view the female character and want to build her vibe and character through setting and mise-en-scene. So today I will be discussing how I want him to be. I want him to be wearing neutral colors. To represent his personality along with his calmness. The backstory for him is not going to be too deep he was craving companionship which is why he got into the relationships he never suspected much about her until then. Obviously she's the main focus of the film opening but he is too because he is the one that's going to discover her secret. Because of her fascination with horror films which is going to be represented at the beginning. I also need to make a quick fix in the script which is that we had discussed with our teacher to take away the knock so the film opening doesn't look too concluded.
