Production Blog: The Restart

Okay, so it has been a pretty weird week. Why? I will tell you. This week I decided to attempt playing around with editing. I was pretty optimistic going into it, but as I tried the different techniques and effects of editing, I grew clueless and dissatisfied. I was attempting to edit along the way and found myself unsatisfied with the way I filmed and directed. There were plenty of things I did not like about my footage. There was the lighting, the angles, and the shots that just were not executed correctly. Overall, the angles were pitiful. I have no idea why I thought it was good the first time. The angles were either too low or too high, sometimes simply crooked. Meanwhile, the lighting impacted the glare on the subject’s glasses, also making a difference on how the subject looked. The subject would either appear darker or way lighter than they actually were. 


With that being said, I will be redoing my filming. This requires me to alter my schedule a little bit. Also, I am going to have to strictly apply my time management skills. Those of which really lack, but hey, I have been working on them. I plan to prioritize this project since the due date is nearing. Also, I just simply want this to go well. I am not letting my confidence sway just yet.

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
