Filming Blog

 


 I started the beginning of my filming recently. This has been quite the event to do. Unfortunately I haven't been able to record everything yet but progress is being made. Basically all I have been able to record are the scenes that don't involve the golden calf. Until I get the materials to make this I'm pretty much stuck. Once I have this however I will be able to finish preliminary recording. Basically all I have right now is the first major scene. This is the main character sitting in his office doing research. I think this scene is important for a few reasons. Of course there needs to be quiet before all of the action in a movie. And without a scene like this, there would be no way to properly introduce the main character. Without introducing characters the viewer wont care what happens to them. I cannot stress how important good character development is, so I made sure to work on that in my film. Of course there are other important things that I used besides character development. I also wanted to introduce the world that this movie takes place in. I think the contents and overall visuals of this area prepare you for what kind of film you are about to watch. Its very important for the viewer to understand the film that they are viewing. With all of these things utilized I'll be ready for my next filming session. I plan to do this sometime near next Tuesday so hopefully all goes well then. All in all I think I did a pretty good job of filming with what I had. Next time I'll have more to work with so filming will be much better!

Music Video

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi

I spend quite a bit of time on my Nintendo consoles playing games like Mario, Kirby, Pokemon, and The Legend Of Zelda. Another one of my hobbies is taking care of my two cats. Unfortunately I don't do much else outside of schoolwork during my day. I also have a small YouTube channel that I create content for where I play some of the games that I enjoy.

That's basically the general happenings of my life so far but there's sti
