 Hi. Welcome back to my third follow up blog of the filming and editing. Between now and the time I did my last blog, I took the chance to film my part for the first scene. I am most likely going to film my part again before we actually start putting the movie together. I was having some difficulties trying the film myself. One issue I was having was the camera. I think it would be better if someone else was there to record. I was by myself so therefore, I had to leave the camera in one spot. I feel like that part of the scene would look better if I was kind of pacing back and forth. That way, whoever I get to record me can do a tracking shot for this. I also was having a hard time on where to position the camera. Do I want to see full body? Do I want from the waist up? Do i only to be able to see only my phone and my face? Do I want the scene to be shot from the back, looking over my shoulder? There were so many options to choose from. I honestly didn't know what angle I wanted. My room doesn't have all these elevations where I can just prop up the camera. This is another reason I think it would be better to have someone else help me record. I also feel like I should wait until I get my hair done to film my part again. If we so happen to record after spring spring break, I know my hair is going to be different in the end. I think it would be bad if my hair were to change in the middle of the film. Especially since it's in the span of a day. The only way it wouldn't be bad is if in the script I make it known that I am going to get my hair done. That's all I have for you guys today. Thanks for reading! See you next time!

Planning

  The next step of our project is planning .  T his is the time where we  think of which  conventions,   we  want to incorporate  and which ones  we will  le a ve out.  There  were a  lot of conventions   seen and noted . However, we can only fit so much into a minute-long vide o .    Props:  Since the song is about women getting  what they desire through their own  earnings, the  scene  where  we a re  at the mall  props such  as  money , shopping bags ,  and what we buy will be used. The ind ividual scene s  won’t have props that go with the music ,  but rather the actions  made   by each actor  will  be  a representation of the music.    Costumes:   We will be all dressed in different attire for our personal scenes.  But  there will be a point where we are all in one scene, so  we will color ...

 Hi. Welcome back to my blog. Today is March 8 and we still have not started filming. Our first filming date was supposed to be March 5 which was a day we had school. My group members also had to work. I knew from that that we wouldn’t have much success in filming together that day. As I stated before, most of the filming will be done at our own houses. This is because the covid-19 cases are still high. We’re trying not to be too close to each other during this process. While brainstorming for ideas for this film we thought of us having a conversation on the phone. This will show us all at our own houses. We will eventually meet up to film the last part of our movie. We just have to know each other’s schedules. Some days we want to record, I might have practice. Some other days we might want to record, some of the group members may have work. These are the types of obstacles we ran into the last time we had to film something. We always get past them though so it’s ok. The ending pa...

1.  How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My product uses conventions by using actual people instead of mannequins to model the clothes. It also uses conventions by having different angles. My product challenges conventions by using both genders in one commercial and I didn't use a green screen for my background. It represents social groups by helping people express themselves through clothing. It also allows videographers to perfect their craft. It represents social issues because there is a lack of representation for people of color in fashion, it promotes gender equality by having an equal amount of both gender models. It also promotes people of color in terms of commercials because most models that are shown are white. 2. How does your p roduct engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? My product engages with audiences by showing the different types of clothing they can wear fo...
