Filming Blog

I filmed for my music video on the Friday before Thanksgiving break and the Monday of Thanksgiving break. I ended up not using some scenes from my storyboard. I thought of some better ideas while recording. I did not include any of the Jeep scenes except the one of us listening to the song inside of the Jeep. This is because I felt the video should be more basketball based because of the part of the song we were using and the lyrics of that part. I also made this a little bit longer than I had originally anticipated. However, I feel the video flowed really well. I included a few more basketball clips. I did this because I wanted to stick to the roots of what the song is about which is Post Malone being the white Allen Iverson which is where the name "White Iverson." I also took out the scenes of walking on and off the court. I also took out the other Jeep scenes. I filmed at George English Park as well as my rooftop of my house. There is also two scenes where my friend and I are lip-syncing to the song because every music video has to have that. These are the scenes that take place on the rooftop. We have the skyline in the background to add to the overall scenery. Everything took about 2 hours to record in total. The recording was pretty easy. My friend recorded my other friend and I on the court and in the Jeep. On the rooftop, my sister recorded us. I actually had a lot of fun recording this music video.

You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques. The first thing you see is the Lionsgate intro. We then see the production company. Followed by the cast. You then see who the music is by. The setting shows a plantation house. A little girl is then shown running to who looks to be her mom. Then you see soldiers exiting the house. They then walk past what appear to be slaves as a man is raising the Confederate flag. This gives us the feeling that this will be more of a horror film that tugs on your emotions. This leaves the viewer in suspense of what will happen next. Different strategies used are music, adv...

Genre Research: Horror

We had to research a genre for this blog. I chose horror. At first I thought I knew a lot about horror. I would soon come to the realization that I was very mistaken. I chose horror for many reasons. One being because it is one of my favorite genres. Another being that it is very different in the way it it setup from most other genres. Rather than it being light outside, it is usually dark. There are 4 main lighting techniques in the horror genre. These are "uplighting", "spotlighting", "silhouettes" and "underexposure". These help create a sense of fright or gloominess throughout the scenes. There are many different camera angles used in the horror genre. These include, "birds-eye", "low angles", "close ups" and "tilted angles". Mis-En-Scene is very important in movies. Without this, there would be no movies. Most horror movies contain costumes, props and makeup such as clown makeup to tie the movies toget...

How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques. The first thing we see is the title of the movie. This is accompanied by some eerie background music. We then see the director credits. These are followed by the cast. Then the music composers. The images shown are pretty scary. You can tell that they are truly trying to frighten you. Scary images of wolves, children and symbols were appearing. These were all showing a sense of knowing that you are about to be scared. They show a sense of scariness which adds to the genre of horror. Great introduction showing the terrifying nature of the film. Technology was ...
