Production Blog

 Hello welcome back! In class, I had discussed with the group what the plan is for filming. On my end, there has been some difficulty planning with the group on what day to film because of my electronics being taken away. It was difficult for the group to decide on a day to film but we had a small window to film because of when the production blogs were due. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have golf practice, on Tuesday, Marlo had cheer after school and on Friday, Harley had work after school. I had come up with a day to film the music video being Thursday, December 8 after school. I had to figure out transportation for the other three girls in my group. On Thursday, I will be taking Marlo, Harley, and Omnia home with me from school and will arrive at my house around 3pm. My group and I would have to finish filming before 6pm because there is an important appointment that one of the group members has. Everyone will bring changes of clothes to my house so there will be a quick and smooth filming journey. For transportation for the group back to their houses from my house, Harley will be picked up, Omnia will Uber home, and Marlo will be picked up. On Friday, December 9, I have Media Studies with my group so I can discuss with them putting scenes together and editing in order to fit the 1 minute and 10-15 second time frame of the music video. Talk more soon!

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...

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...
