Beach Filming Complaints!

-

Filming at the beach for our AICE media studies project sounds like a dream, right? Well, let me tell you, it's not. First off, there is people everywhere. It's like the whole world decided to take a trip to the beach on the same day we're filming. They're walking around, playing games, and sometimes even photobombing our shots. 

Then there's the lighting. While the sun is shining, it can be very annoying. One minute, it's too bright, washing out our faces. The next, it's hiding behind a cloud, making everything look dull. And don't even get me started on trying to film during golden hour when the sun's setting. It's beautiful, but it's a race against time to get the perfect shot before the light disappears. And as if that wasn't enough, we've got to deal with the weather. One minute it's clear skies, the next, clouds roll in and then there is rain. And let me tell you, sand blowing everywhere isn't exactly ideal for our equipment. Plus, there's always the worry of a sudden gust of wind knocking over our carefully set-up props and equipment.

But, despite all the challenges, filming at the beach is a unique experience we'll never forget. It might be annoying and hard at times, but it's all part of the fun and excitement of creating something amazing for our media studies project!

Storyboard!

Hello Everyone! Today I will talk about storyboarding!  Storyboarding is a tool in the world of visual storytelling, acting as a crucial blueprint that guides filmmakers, animators, and other creative minds in bringing their narratives to life. Through my exploration of this art form, I've come to appreciate the balance between creativity and structure that storyboarding demands. Storyboarding is the process of visually planning a narrative, breaking it down into a sequence of individual shots or frames. This pre-visualization allows creators to map out the flow of a story, ensuring coherence and visual continuity. What I find most compelling about storyboarding is its ability to serve as a visual script, showing a preview of the final product before production begins. This early visualization not only aids in communication among the creative team but also acts as a reference point to maintain consistency in tone, pacing, and overall narrative coherence. However, despite its numero...

Camera Shots and Angles

Hello again! In this blog post I will be showing five clips of different camera shots and angles. I used five different ones to show a variety of emotion, setting, and stories. Since I am still practicing they may not be perfect BUT that is more than okay! With practice comes perfection :) Enjoy the clips!  In this clip, I was trying to achieve a close-up shot to show the emotion in the eyes.  With this clip, I used an establishing shot. The purpose of this was to show where my setting is and how it looks like. Also, how it affects the other clips and provides a portion of the time it was shot.  In this clip, I used a high angle shot to establish what the actor was doing and for the watcher to get an idea of what might come next.  I used a point of view shot (POV) to show the actors viewpoint of an action they were doing.  I used a dutch angle shot to portray disorientation that the actor is going through.

Movie Analysis

Hello everyone! I was watching my favorite show "Friends" and decided to analyze an episode called "The one with all the thanksgivings" if you have not seen the show yet, I highly recommend you do! I put five screenshots of scenes from the episode and analyzed the different angles and camera shots.  This is a medium shot and a two shot. In this scene, Chandler and Ross are washing the dishes and discussing what they will be doing after thanksgiving dinner. This scene affects the story because Chandler makes a rude comment about Monica that leads to the climax of the episode. It also shows their body language and can tell they have been friends for a long time. They also look relaxed and comfortable with one another. By the look of their outfits, you can infer the time period is in the 80's and they are at an older person's house (Ross's mom).  This is a mid over-the-shoulder shot. This scene is showing Monica trying to seduce Chandler a year after he cal...
