Portfolio Blog Post #23

 Today was group meeting #2

Lee had an amazing blog post that better explained the CCR's questions in details. For me it help me have a better idea because when I first saw the questions I didn't really understand it, but when I saw her blog and I saw how she explained it and I understand it. 

For Matias, his blog post are very well done because he explains everything he is doing and he shows what he is going to do and he also shows the props that he used for his film opening and what he is going to use it for.

For Camila she had a lot of question on where she should edit and what would be the best approach for it. She wanted to us CapCut but  CapCut is not liked by our teacher so I told her to use Premier Pro because it is free for use and it has a lot of tools that can help make her film opening better. Although I would prefer CapCut due to it being easy to us and simple, Premier Pro is hard to figure out but once you figure it out you can see that there is a lot of tools that can help you make your project better.

For me I had a hard time figuring out where and how I would create my title page because for my film opening it would best flow with my film opening if my title is at the end because it would be after the light turn green and the screen goes black to show the title and you would just hear the car racing. They also gave me ideas that I should create my title on canva  because it has a lot of tools that would make my title look good.

 Genre Conventions 

-Fast pace action: The street race and chase scenes with high energy action is like the Fast and the Furious

-

Introducing a diverse crew with specialized skills like in Ocean's Eleven 

Technical Conventions 

- Camera work : Low angles, tracking shots and quick cuts are used to emphasize speed and power

Challenging conventions 

- character development in short form- While actions films often prioritize action over character development, Full throttle uses audio to hit at motivation

Representations of social group 

-The crew is diverse, reflecting a range of backgrounds

For my editing process I had to find a font that would best fit my film opening style. I came across thus font that I felt best fix my film opening because my film opening is about two street racers racing. So I felt like this font had a kind of street painting type of feel and I though it would best fit my film opening do to it being about two street racers. I did have a hard time trying to figure out which font I should use for my credit because most most a basic and plain so I wanted to find one that best matched my film opening and the rest of my production. I feel like I picked a good font and once I finish adding the final touch to it my film opening is going to look good.

I have started editing my film opening today. So far everything has gone good and everything has gone according to plan. I expect to finish my editing by next week Friday or Saturday depending if there is any delay. So far I have edited the first minute of the film opening and I am also trying to find none copy right music that I can play during the film opening. On Monday I also start filming my CCR's and I Plan to start editing them right after I finish with the film opening so that would be on Sunday of next week, and the CCR's should all be filmed and edited by March 21 the week before the project is suppose to be done just in case anything happens.

 This week we finished filming the film opening.

The shots that we got this week were way better than I though they we going to be. I feel like shooting at night made the shot look better. I can wait to start editing to see how this turns out. I feel like once I put everything together it is going to look way better. I am also glad that I got my friend Jesus to help me out with this project because he had a lot of good ideas that made the film opening even better. For example the shot that you see above was his idea and it was not planed but it worked out and it looks amazing. I can wait for the project to be edited and finished. I am really happy on how everything turned out.

 This week I film the first 30 seconds of my opening film. We had a plan for everything this week, we had a lot of problems at first. we had to figure out a lot because we ran into a couple of problems but we always had a solution for them. For example when we didn't have a third person to help us film I called a friend and they helped me and when we didn't have a mechanic shop to film so we had to film in front of my house while fixing the cars.

My plan for next week is to finish the rest of my film opening. 

The plan is to start filming the second part of my film opening on Tuesday. I also have to start filming my foley sounds. The plan is also to start editing my film opening by Friday so I can have some of it done so I can start filming my CCR questions next week and have them done and edited by the second to last week before the project is submitted.

 Locations 

#1

This locations was not supposed to be used but since we could film in a mechanic shop we used this location as back up. This location was used to film the two cars pulling up to the front of the garage and parking so the two guys can work on their cars.

#2 

This location is going to be used after the cars are getting worked on and leave and they are going fast. This is going to setup the final shot of the car pulling up to the street light racing.

#3

This location is going to be at the end of the opening film. It is going to show the two car lining up like a street race. Then it's going to have a close up of the street light. Then its going to pan to the car and when the light goes green the screen is going to look black and you are just going to hear the cars racing.
