Production Blog

 

 Its been a week since I really started production on my golden calf film. I wont lie, the beginning steps of this film were very hard to do. The storyboard blog alone took me almost an entire weekend. Each blog I've done took multiple hours. Just getting the ideas for this film was a challenge. I've always had a strange interest with the bible so when this idea hit me I was ecstatic. I shared the idea with my family and they all seemed to like it so I went with it. The storyboard was definitely the biggest challenge for me. I spent days drawing each picture and describing what happened. I even made panels going further than the first five minutes because I really wanted to develop the story. Each page had 6 panels each having drawings that described the scene. Each panel was colored and decently detailed so you can see why it took a long time to complete. Despite the difficulty of finishing the storyboard I am proud of what it turned out to be. Anyways the film is still in its very early stages. Not much actual footage has been recorded so there isn't much to edit. One thing I have been researching is costume and prop design. I want the characters in the story to look professional so I will have to invest some of the film budget into costumes. Concerning props I still need to get gold coating for my cow prop. Once I have these things I should be in good standing to record.

I'm thinking I want to have a costume that looks something like this. Professional and cool!

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
