Planning the Music Video

    Since my group and I decided to do “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by John Legend, sung by Idina Menzel, we planned to do everything Holiday themed. Our main props are anything Christmas/holiday themed. Such as candy canes and Christmas lights. In our commercial, we plan to have every group member participate. Our actors would wear Christmas clothes. Such as, Christmas sweaters, Santa hats, and reindeer ears. We would also be wearing winter clothes, and look festive. Such as mittens, hats, and scarves. The  girls could also braid their hair and put it up to fit the theme of winter. On 11/15/21 we will create the storyboard for the music video. We will also establish the props, costumes. On 11/21/21-11/22/21 we will film shots that include ice-skating at the Glacier Ice Rink. On 11/24/21 we will finish up the editing for the music video. We plan to get the filming and editing finished around the same time. We will also film at the Galleria mall showcasing the Christmas decoration. Our main location is the Glacier Ice-rink. At the Ice-rink, we will show four group members ice-skating and holding hands. Just showing how much fun we're having at the rink. Then, we will be at the mall meeting Santa and looking at the decorations. If for whatever reason the Ice-rink and the mall do not work out, we will just go to the beach and walk around the shops in Lauderdale-by-the-sea. Our costumes and props will remain the same. We would cut from place to place, to show differences in the setting. Our music video will show holiday spirit.



Props:

Since my group decided to do “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, a Christmas themed song, our props will include Christmas/holiday themed things, such as candy canes, Christmas lights, Christmas clothing, Christmas trees, etc. 


Schedule:

11/15/21- Create the storyboard for the music video

11/21/21-11/22/21- Film shots that include ice-skating, looking at lights, creating a sandman, looking at Christmas trees, walking at the mall, etc. 

11/24/21- Edit the music video


Location List:

Our main location is the Glacier Ice-rink. At the Ice-rink, we will show four group members ice-skating and holding hands. Just showing how much fun the rink is during holiday time.


We will film at the Galleria mall showcasing the Christmas decorations that are put up there to show the holiday spirit that is in public places. We will film meeting Santa Claus because he is a big staple of Christmas.


We will go to the beach and film making a sandman. Even though there is no snow, Christmas spirit can still be shown in tropical climates. 


Backup Plan:

If the beach does not work out due to rain, which there is a lot of in Florida unexpectedly, we will still film at all the other locations, and include a scene in a lot where they sell Christmas trees. These places usually have a cover so rain would not affect this scene. This would show another example of holiday spirit because of how strongly Christmas trees represent it.

Choosing our Pitch

Image
Pitch 1: A little girl's imagination gets out of hand one afternoon. Pitch 2: A girl is doing homework when suddenly she finds a mysterious note left in her book for her. Pitch 3: A young mom is driving to pick up her son from school, when out of the blue and friend from her past comes her way. Pitch one is an ideal one for our group, as it can involve girl characters, and our group has four girls. This leaves us options for us to have someone to film, which is good so we don't have to go out of our way to find another cameraman. This, along with the fact that the wording allows for wiggle room, is a pro to pitch 1. However, we would have to take extra steps to find a little girl to play one of the parts, which adds a bit of a challenge, but I think our group is up for that. Pitch 2 is also a reasonable pitch for our group, because we can have one of us acting and the rest of us tackling other responsibilities. However, we are not sure how much we can do with the concept, so...

Movie Conventions Research: Bird Box

Image
  Various camera angles, sounds, editing forms, and mis-en-scene were used in this film. For starters, numerous scenes were shot at a medium close-up viewpoint with dark lighting as the mis-en-scene. Dim lighting in the forest setting and  Ambient lighting are two examples of different types of illumination. To achieve a chilling effect, many props were added, including a blindfold and a rowboat down a strong river. The majority of the film was shot with diegetic sound, however there were several instances where there was no sound to create an eerie and mysterious atmosphere within the movie.  Different types of lighting, such as under lighting, were heavily used to generate an ominous impact on viewers. The actors in this film are dressed in costumes that are meant to look worn out and dirty to the audience. The majority of the aspects stated had a positive impact on the movie since they added tension and suspense, which is what this genre is all about. Low angle and eye...

More Filming!

Image
 When Connor arrived, we were ecstatic. This meant we could finish filming all of the scenes now. After me and Katie filmed the scenes in her house, we needed to film the rest of them. We began filming the next scene, which was me riding a bike through a neighborhood. I hopped on the bike and rode it, while Katie and Connor followed me filming as a tracking shot. Thankfully I knew how to ride a bike, so it was fairly easy to film. There was two other locations we needed to film at. One at a playground, and another in the forest at Hugh Taylor Birch State park. The three of us walked to a local playground and started filming the scene with Katie and I. We sat on the swings, rehearsing our lines quickly so we could film with ease. I took multiple shots, so we could pick the best one out of the couple. The props we used in that scene was our phones. Next, we had to film in the forest. Katie's neighbors gave us a key to enter the park. That was very convenient for us. We needed to film...
