Filming Blog

This was something new. Filming a music video is so much more difficult than releasing an actual film production. So much needs to be put across to viewers. I did not film until this week due to the holidays. Spending time with family can tire a person out. Between spending time with family and planning out this project, it was hard to film. The days I scheduled for filming were weekends, but being that I had other work to do, as well as planning, I was not able to film on the weekend nor during the week. Instead, I gave myself a break and tended to other activities. The few days were spent assisting my step-mom in cooking and shopping for my own food to cook. The night Christmas Eve, my family would hang up the lights around the house then once it hits about 9 or 10 p.m., we would turn off all of the lights and dance around in the living room with only the Christmas lights on. Once morning came around, we made breakfast while listening to Christmas music. After presents, there were movies being watched in the living room. I was very thankful for this celebration because this year was very tough. The holiday spirit did not even feel that way. It was hard to think it would with everything going on. People are losing family and friends continuously, so I am sure it was hard to celebrate for many. Some have even lost their homes so it was really nice to feel the jolliness in the air. Luckily, most remained safe during this time.

Filming Blog        As mentioned in earlier blogs, filming took place inside my home. Filming took place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. I knew that since I was the only one in the commercial, it would be simpler to finish. That also came with its disadvantages though. For certain shots, specifically in the 1 st , 2 nd , and 7 th scenes, I needed someone else to hold the camera since I was the subject of the film. However, somehow, I made it work perfectly by sing objects around my house like shelves or chairs with wheels. The main difficulty I had was quiet on set. My dog continuously would bark or squeak his chew toy. I resulted to closing multiple doors to drown out his noises and keep him in one place for the small duration of time. Another mild difficulty I had was lighting. There were times where the brightness would be too high on the camera so it would not be compatible with the lighting of the room, or the lighting was so low that it made the camera quality worse. I had to se

   My name is Bremari Henry. I am a 16-year-old in the eleventh grade. Within the previous years, I have learned a couple things about myself. I am a fast learner, and I also work very well when it comes to group work or communicating with others. I signed up for digital media because I always wanted to explore every aspect of art, whether it was music, dance, drawing (digitally or on paper), or design. Even though I was put into AICE Media, it is still a start into exploring a form of art, which is film. Emotions or intentions can be captured by the directorial choices in a film. I think it would do my imagination some good since I have quite a wide range of it.    This comes into play when I participate in the clubs I attend around school. I happen to be Vice President  of AMIE, a club about unity and normalizing touchy subjects that you would not necessarily want to talk about with your parents or guardians in general.  I also attend FCCLA where we learn skills in hospitality. I do

CCR- Music Video Project

  Creative Critical Reflection How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  - My product is a music video to "Six Feet Apart" by Alec Benjamin. My product breaks the conventions of a pop music video. Most pop videos have a lot of color in them, representing happiness and cheer. I think this video disbands that idea. People in society start to feel anxious and panicked when everyone nut the is happy. This can severely damage a person physically and mentally. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?     -My product would be distributed through YouTube or Instagram IGTV. I would aim it for audiences who can relate. Sometimes, it is hard to be alone. Whether it is you feel worthless or paranoid or even overwhelmed by the silence. My goal is to make all of those people feel seen.   3.       How did your production skills develop throughout this project
