A rework

 During spring break, we were unable to film due to one of our actors being out on family business. I couldn't get anyone one else to take his place because no one wanted to do work during spring break. Instead, I decided to change up some of the aspects of the film to iron out some of the confusing and hard to pull off parts. I spoke will my other actor to discuss some of these areas of concern and collectively decided to change the ending, dialogue, and the music. I wanted to change how the music is implemented from an overlay over everything to adding it at different times. I felt a bit too ambitious with the ending adding explosions, so we are going to change it to create a more real feeling. Also, the addition of a third person as a camera man is important because we need someone to hold the camera. This rework is not a full reset its purpose is to fix the details I have made overly complicated. This time I have scheduled another date to film, and they must make that time. I had been busy planning and brain storming ideas of the rework and have a full idea, but it feels unpolished. The sound effects and music remain the same but, the use of them may change. The props and outfits will stay the same along with the location of the film. I did not want to many things to change so I wouldn't stray from the path I set. Some things may need to be removed to make it fit in the 2-minute time window. This break has allowed me to think and polish the project to make the process smooth. It may have been more difficult since I wanted to film on spring break my actor had to go so, I had to push it back. My time used over the week has been productive and eventful as the project is underway.

  Research Our group will be doing a Nike commercial. Typically these commercials follow multiple people ranging from average joes to famous athletes partaking in some physical activity. The costumes they wear are Nike branded apparel whether it be shorts, windbreakers, tennis shoes, sports bras, or headbands. Many of the props used were sporting equipment, specifically basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, towels, water bottles, or gloves.  Almost always the actors are fit and drenched in sweat or more accurately spritzed with water right before the shot was taken. It's almost mandatory for a Nike commercial to have a slogan at either the start or beginning with their most iconic one being “Just Do It” The theme throughout these commercials are fast pace action with exhilarating music to make the audience excited and motivate them to get out there and “Just Do It” Nike commercials connect to the masses by showing world-class athletes or famous figures using the product that t...

Final decision-Action

Image
 I chose the action genre for my opening scene film. Action movies have always peaked my interests with the plot the scene and how they are crafted just make it so perfect. This option is the easiest this action movies have more of my style. Action movie more, so war movies have always grabbed my attention because I love to study history and wars. The atmosphere of the movies just checks all the boxes for me and now that I can create and opening scene to one, I'm all hands on. I already have a great idea of what my opening on my action movie will be. Some of the ones that inspired me were "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Midway" which I loved and learned about. I know how war movies are portrayed, as gritty harsh warzones with empty atmospheres. This experience will help me make a better opening that is more enjoyable to make.  Action was my chose over the other two because I could get much more creative than I could if I was doing horror or drama. I do not watch many drama...
