Filming blog

 This past weekend on November 1st I started and filmed the whole commercial for the project. Filming for this project was a lot harder then the last filming project we had. Everything that could go wrong was going wrong. All of the scenes were filmed on the same day because it was the only nice day out except the last shot because that was filmed inside. The day before we started filming I got all the of the costumes ready the day before. But I had to use the backup costume because I couldn't find the belt or the cleats for the costume. So I had to wear shorts and sneakers for all of these shots. Where these shots were filmed was close to a busy street right behind us so some of the shots had to be re-shot because of traffic. A lot of the shots that were filmed were shot about 3-5 different times. I had to shot some of the shots again because I like things to be perfect so if I see one thing off then I don't like it. Also some shots have been re-shot because people would walk in the background. So it might have taken longer then I expected for the commercial to be filmed. I filmed most of these scenes through my phone. The props for this commercial was very easy to get because playing baseball I already have a baseball and baseball glove for playing baseball for the last 6 years. But all the props was at one house rather then the house I wanted to film at so I had to go to the other house and grab the props and come back. What made this filming the hardest was the weather was not cooperating with the days I could film with my brother. A lot of these days it was raining or we had some plans for the days it wouldn't rain. Also me and my brother cooperating was very hard for both of us but we found a way to figure out how to just finish the filming. But watching some of the shots I took watching him try to express emotion on the camera was funny.  But through the whole filming process I learned a lot more with filming and how to shoot the scenes better. But I can learn to film these shots way better and later in the year.

Starting the Final Task

 I am Gavin Gonzalez, I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. In this filming project I decided to work by myself for this project. I would rather depend on myself to get everything done. I can't rely on other kids to help me in this project. It's like a 50/50 chance you are taking. This person you can work with can be very controlling and take over the whole project which sucks. Or they never do anything and expect you to do it all. Or you might not be able to communicate with them. Also the people I could work with live too far for me to get there and I have no transportation. I wouldn't need anyone to work with when I have everything I need at home to do it. When working alone and not in a group you can voice your own ideas and no ne will shoot them down because you are working alone. That means the whole project is going to be your whole idea, how I am going to envision my project. But with working with no one there will be some negatives to that. You will not get ...

music video

 This project was definitely a different and new experience. There was a lot of new things I learned from this project. I learned how to add music to my video for the first time. Even though we basically had to have music in the video. It also was a much longer video that I was making and planning for which I thought was going to be harder but it really wasn't. It was like making any of the other videos I made. Just had to make sure I had a good plan and good schedule. With the storyboard it has changed because nobody had to lip sync to the song. I had enough video that if I added that it would have made the video too long. So I decided to cut that out of the video. Also the setting changes a little it wouldn't be in parents lake house I did it in the front yard and I also never had a shot in the garage. So plans do change not everything is set for the video I have learned from this project. This is one of the projects I have finally not procrastinated.  Which it feels good to...

Creative Critical Reflection Music Video

Image
 Usually in pop music videos they are just being followed by the camera and singing. They usually have backup dancers to dance in sync. They are usually showing off the money how much money they have or the fancy cars they have. I didn't follow how those usual pop music videos look. I wanted to tell a story to this song. I wanted to have a theme behind the song for people to see. I wanted the video to be different or special not a normal pop song. Always good to be a little different. This video actually does cover some issues in the real world. That was basically the theme I was going for. It represents the issue of bullying and people just being brought down in life. This is for them to push through and don't listen to what they have to say. Like before it engages with the audience due to the theme. Engages with audience due to the story it is telling. People are drawn into see how the story unfolds. In this case the theme goes with bullying. So this video looks out for bully...
