Production Blog: A Minor Mishap.


When I first started to put my commercial into action, I realized an issue. When I tried to import my photos, they were all gone. I tried to do some research into how they got deleted. Yesterday, I was going through my computer storage, and deleted some old files. I must have accidentally deleted the file with all the photos and videos collected on it. This was not a major setback, but it certainly brought me back quite a bit. I had to go through my old photos again and get them back. This made the process take a longer amount of time. I just now had to find different images and videos, which was pretty disappointing. Going through my old pictures again, I found some pictures that I'm really glad I found. Some pictures of me as a baby, in cute frog raincoats. A few of me as a toddler, dancing at Disneyworld. A couple as me in elementary school, frosting cookies with my friends. And my personal favorite, one of me doing a choreographed dance with my friend's dog. All of these photos and videos made me glad I got to go through them again. I have added these to a new file. I will make sure I do not delete it this time! I'm slightly worried about them being out of order and messy. However, once I get everything back in order, I'll be more prepared with better photos. I'm looking forward to putting these to use.

Pyschological Thriller Research: Don't Worry Darling

What conventions of psychological thrillers does this movie have? This movie has lots of close ups and zooms into the main characters face. The sets and costumes are all relating to the 1950's which is where the movie is set. There is a major plot twist nearing the end of the movie, common in this genre. The main character is trapped and cannot escape, also common in this genre. There are fast cuts in between shots, like an insert, montages of weird pictures with whooshing noises, and high pitched ringing, fast paced music. What conventions of psychological thriller did this movie have that you like? This movie's plot twist had me shocked, as I truly had no idea. I also loved the main character's arc of realizing her situation, and even thought everyone around her believes she is crazy, she is actually correct. I also really liked how the sets change to show her mindset. When she is cleaning the house by herself, the window she is cleaning starts to close in and push her up...

Final Task Music - Production Blog

Our group has finally moved forward with our filming process. Now we have to get over a large obstacle, music. Our teacher told us that we would need to use royalty free music, unless we got permission from the people who made a published song. The last thing we wanted was for the music to be generic when we were trying to convey a creepy mood to our audience. We tried to brainstorm for song ideas, looking through Spotify playlists and such. After a while, I suggested we use "Everything in Its Right Place." This is a Radiohead song and it seems like a perfect fit for our concept. The song starts fairly mellow but progressed to something loud and overwhelming, which is exactly how we wanted to convey Amelie's emotions. We got to work immediately. I found as many people related to Radiohead as possible. I sent Amelie their Instagram accounts, Twitter accounts, store email, etc. She reached out on every possible platform I gave her. We waited a few days and when we felt like...

Critical Creative Reflection

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZM0o29GcfvxZyC8tDDHAG1pcN4KT7wzezLQ57Cx7AEM/edit?usp=sharing How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Our rock music video employs various conventions to convey their messages and represent different social groups. Through energetic performances, rebellious aesthetics, and edgy visuals, rock music videos capture the essence of the genre while appealing to fans and attracting new audiences. These videos often showcase the musicians as a distinct social group, embodying a rebellious spirit and countercultural identity. We tried our best to use these conventions in our video. We tried to dress more edgy than we usually did, wearing old band shirts. We made silly faces directly into the camera, almost mocking the audience. This was meant to show slightly rebellious spirits, similar to the conventions of most nineties rock music videos. We added quick cutaways into the video to different smaller...
