Production Blog: The Time Has Come

    Ah, cramming! Who does not enjoy a little cram session? To me, a person simply cannot be human if they do not. Sure, they are stressful and somewhat hard to get through, but in the end it turns out to be worth it. Now, what I am doing is not what I would necessarily call a cram session. Instead, I would call it a compilation of last minute changes I am making. The Final Task shall be posted tomorrow, meaning all of my work will be displayed onto yet another blog, which is exciting. However, I am faced with my perfectionist tendencies once again. Therefore, here I am, making last minute changes in my editing for the final product. I know it does not have to be perfect, but I at least want it to my best abilities. 


   The changes I am making all have to do with the transitions from scene to scene. I refrained from making the film fade to black at any moment. It just did not fit the genre for me. Dare I say, it was not part of my vision. So, I am filling in those blanks and making the transitions smoother. I cannot cut off too soon because then it will be choppy. However, if I leave a scene going for too long, it will not sync up with the next and it will look a mess. I want anything but that. Hopefully my last pinch of creativity for this project can recharge itself and leap out once again to complete the last bit of this production. As I am editing, I notice my slight improvement in directing the last few shots. They are different and types of shots that I never would have really gone for, especially with this being one of my first times filming something this rigorous. I am sure this will all pay off, and I am excited to see the full product reviews.

Filming Blog

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...

   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...

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...
