Group Meeting

 During school on Thursday we all showed up not expecting much to school, as the day is starting a code yellow happens locking all students in their 5th period. After a couple of hours we were let out and went to our 7th period, in my case it was media studies.

    Many student had left early due to it being the second code yellow of the week, making the class empty. Even though the class was empty we still join groups for the group meeting to discuss our project. 

    During the group meeting we discussed each others ideas. The group meeting helped me develop my idea and gave me some help on how to execute. The ideas they helped me think of was the lockdown idea talked about in a previous post, due to all the events that had happened that week in school. The group talked on how I could dive into the students emotions and create a sense of mystery.

Equipment

     Today is my birthday and I am going to purchase a camera, to be more specific the camera is the Nikon Z30

 Me and Yoav will be using this camera to record the film entry. We will also be using a tripod to stabilize the shots. Lighting will be done depending on the shot but it will most likely be done using lighting items found around the house. For the final step of making the film entry we will be using adobe premier to edit, since it is provided by the school.

The forest story

    With my partners we have made some decision to further develop the forest story. 

The developments we have made so far are, the story would be about a kid who runs away from home into the forest. He would find a mysterious item that would in some way change his life. 

The Genre

    For the project me and my partner, Yoav are diving more into the mystery genre for our movie intro.

        As discussed in the previous post with both of the story ideas me and Yoav have both are related to mystery. For the forest story we wanted to create suspense and leave the audience wondering what the mysterious item in forest is. For the school lockdown story we also wanted to create  a sense of mystery on what caused the lockdown. 

Portfolio Project Start

     For the project had the choice to work alone or with a group and I decided to partner up with Yoav. We are looking and have we don't have a fully established idea.

     We have had some thoughts like a mysterious story that take place in a forest where a group of teenagers find a mysterious item within the forest. Another idea we had was with all going around in school a story that takes place within a school lockdown. The story would create suspense and go deep into the students feelings. 

    With Yoav we are still discussing ideas to continue to the next step. 

Music Marketing Blog Post #2

    The last  blog we mentioned part of the brainstorming process of the Music Marketing Project.

   Music Video

    The music video was probably one of the most challenging parts of the project. Thinking of the idea of what the music video was going to be about, we read the lyrics and they say "How come I end up where I started, how come I end up where I belong" and with those lyrics Yoav came up with the idea of showing someone living their life in a loop and wasting their life, eventually realizing that change is good and go wild trying to change things in his life.

    When it came to the editing with the footage we had we decided to make it look glitchy to give it that artificial feel and as the video progresses the glitchier it gets. I had to edit the video and while editing one final touch I decided to add was to show the green screen, this is done to represent he has escaped his loop.

Presentation

        After everything was completed the presentation seemed great. Our group got chosen to present on day 1 and the group was confident. When setting up the presentation the technical difficulties started. Once we finally got the presentation running it was a bit slow and the music video would not play. Besides the technical difficulties it all went great.
