  • How do your products represent social groups or issues? 


In our short Film one of our main character is dealing with antagonizing friends that causes her to go into a depression leading to her substance abuse and predicted suicide. So, mental health is a major social issue present in all aspects of life. Not always accurately demonstrated in films but the representation is necessary. With our short film we took the initiative to showcase the emotional feeling of being the cause of someone falling into a psychosis, trying to find an escape from reality. 


  • How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of ‘branding’?


Our short film would advertise to teens as we were branded as a slumber party of girls or thriller lovers. The short film builds up tension through the storyline and creates fear for viewers trying to assume the identity of the ending and the causation of the main characters ending. So the buildup of adolescents and stoic characters trying to unsolve the mystery of their ‘friends’ demise. 


  • How do your products engage with the audience? 


When advertising toward our audience we reached out and created a website that published a summary of the short film. Included actors and their link to google blogs (has there blogs posted during filming to explain their experiences. As well as their names and the characters they are playing with the link to the vidoe and the video on the website. The website was made to engage with audiences and give them a direct link to our Social media and post card to further boost the short film. 


  • How did your research inform your products and challenge conventions? 

The research and overall product of our film engaged many challenges and convention, oh primarily being mental health and suicidal ideations and how that affects people around them and themselves. The issues arise all the time and are uncontrollable and she can be further researched and normalized. Another topic directed into our short film is substance abuse, A main character within the film was portrayed to have taken some substance in an attempt to die. However, we chose to not highlight that character but the reaction of the others to

choppy clips -production

Image
In production I plan on doing a view of my own eyes, through this lens, and taking it into a continuous loop, showing my day-by-day. However, it doesn’t change It is supposed to offer you my day isn’t so different from one of a working adult or that of someone who’s a slave to the government income. Then finally in the end it will show you how I break that cycle and take in my happiness with friends and chilling by the beach. However, on my first day of recording, I underestimated the difficulty. I would often forget to record or accidentally end the recording. Holding the camera up to my forehead was also difficult to capture the visual representation through my eyes. In another situation with the camera being held up, many people look at me weirdly, not that I care too much but personally capturing everyone in my video does seem unnecessary and rude. However, I am considering blurring non-consenting parties out. Clips The clips I have produced have been a little testing clips....

Angles and Editing

Image
  Hello blog, so I wanna talk about editing today. When editing clips I personally filmed. I started with changing the rotation. so if it was filmed horizontally by accident I changed it in my simple iPhone editing to vertically. I have not been able to completely watch the video, because my partner has not let me view the edits she’s made officially.   But when I am able to completely watch it. I hope to take out extra unnecessary clips and or clips that may have repetitive angles. Though there is no fundamental storyline, I want the angles, and editing to support the song. The visual appeal I’m following is that of one summer vibe, when looking at a previously filmed Khalid song she often uses filters over them changing lighting. I also want to do that because the time the song was produced aligns with the aesthetic of other music video videos.  Some creative angles I've shot or pitched can be seen throughout. My personal favorite was my and my partner's first film...

Filming cost

Image
 Hello blog, so to greatly recap my filming history. I must include the spending I've succumbed to in this process. Honestly just saying the title of the song out loud is a little ironic seeing as I’ve spent maybe more than a hundred dollars. I could just be acting dramatic but in this blog, I’ll account for the cost of filming.  So the first day of filming was actually the most budget-friendly and my partner got around with her parents' help, it was honestly the best filming day and we were able to go out and eat after. The second day of my filming was my Lyft to Las Olas (now I’ll pause right here, but something to take into account is majority of filming depends on availability and I work and also have other important classes I also partake in, cost and affordability of certain depends in ranges for me in my partner. I do not mean to exaggerate my spending I’m simply explaining how this project has not been cost affordable and I feel like it’s been neglected and should be a...
