Meet the Team!

  My group is me and two of my classmates, Noura Attah and Macy Martin. This is the same group i worked with for my music video. Noura was also worked on my commercial with me, Macy did not. Noura and I deciding to work with her was an amazing idea. We work well together and have fun at the same time. We all did a good job on the music video and I am confident it will go even better this time. I have also had success working with Noura on many other projects, in many other classes. I haven't done many projects with Macy, but she is a hard worker and reliable partner. Noura and Macy are both good friends of mine and are academically achieved. We are all creative, which will come in handy for this project. We have already had some amazing ideas we can choose from. 

This project will be challenging for all of us. From what I know, I have the least editing skills, while Noura and Macy have less camera work and directing skills. Throughout this project we will all step out of our comfort zones and try something new.

    I believe this group will be efficient and that we will satisfy the requirements of the project accordingly. I also believe that with Noura and Macy, I will enjoy completing this project even more than I might've before.  Overall, I am happy with the group I have chosen and excited to get started.. I believe that three people is more than enough for this project to be successful. I am confident that we will benefit and learn from this project, even after all that we have learned throughout the year. I cannot wait until we can really get into completing this opening scene short film.

A Morning of Work

     Once we got to Macy's house, figured out the changes we needed to make, and found all of our props, we officially started the filming process. We started in the morning by going around to all of the rooms we were going to film and planned how it would work. We started in Macy's room and planned how we would film her waking up and getting ready. The main character started in her bed so Macy laid down in her bed so Noura and I could get a realistic view. We then discussed ways to start the music video. We knew that we wanted a close up on Macy's face for the first line of the song but didn't know how to get there. Noura and I tried a couple of different options, first we thought about coming in from the door of her room and slowly closing in, but we decided against it. We tried zooming slowly from the corner of the room, but it just looked unnatural and plain. We then came up with the idea to slowly push in from a high angle down towards her face. This worked well fo...

Our Genre of Choice

Image
Hey there! My group and I all intensely researched multiple genres to decide which would be the best to use. After carful consideration my group narrowed in down to the genres comedy, drama, and thriller. We then finally came to the conclusion that the drama genre would best suit our film idea. The other genres for example comedy would not work as well as it very hard to connect both intense drama and suspense with laughter and joy. The point in our film is to shock our audience with the plot twist and keep a high emotional intensity. Thriller is in also not the ideal genre as there is not an intent to scare the audience but more to spike emotions. We are also still high-school students with a limited budget and no movie equipment. This makes it very hard to do movies like thriller and keep them looking somewhat realistic. The unsuspecting plot twist found at the end of our film also inspired the pick of the drama genre. Both the thriller and comedy genres don’t get you ready for the p...
