Production Blog

  Hey welcome back! Throughout filming this music video, it's been very fun to think about all the props and outfits needed to fit the description in the lyrics of the song 'You Belong with me'. Through much consideration, I figured that the outfits of the good Taylor, the evil Taylor, and the best friend in the middle, had to show different personalities and show the social class of each girl. I knew that because evil Taylor is a very popular mean girl, her character should be wearing very preppy and modern outfits. Since the good Taylor is more modest and conservative, her character would be wearing more basic or less sheek outfits. The character playing the best friend in the middle of the evil and good Taylor would be wearing clothing that is in between conservative and modern or both. In the music video, you will be able to see the outfits that were chosen for each scene and be able to tell who is the evil Taylor, good Taylor, and best friend in the middle. For props, my group and I had come up with using our iPhones to make the "phone calls" to each other in the video. I had used a whiteboard for the sign saying "I love you, i'm sorry" and Omnia used a notebook for the sign towards me saying "I love you too". Overall, had a very fun time deciding outfits and picking props around the house that would suit the production of this music video. Talk soon!

Short vs. full length film research

  BLOG 1: Comparing 9, the short film, and the full-length movie  Hey Blogg, our group will be discussing the short version of the film "9" and the full-length version along with comparing both of them.  Short film version: None of our group members had ever seen this movie and seeing it for the first time it was different, unlike something we had ever seen before. First off, there was no dialogue throughout the whole film. This causes us to pay even more attention to what was happening throughout the film to better understand what was going on. For this specific short film, the plot was less obvious and required higher thinking skills as all that is given are the scenes. We understood the plot at the nearing the end of the movie. Our interpretation of the plot was that in a desolate setting that looked like a landfill site, the film begins with scenes of 9 crafting objects from scrap metal. As the title screen fades, 9 is found sitting around the remnants of a broken w...

Short Film Research: Party to Murder

  The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...
