With my last few blogs, I had the task of reshooting all my unusable footage. This proved frustrating as I had already fully edited my short sequence. So, having to go back and reshoot, then take apart my project, THEN insert those clips back in, was difficult.  As I watched the horror short sequence that I had made for my class project, I realized that it needed a lot of work. The pacing was off, and the scares weren't as effective as I had hoped. I knew that I would have to re-edit the entire sequence if I wanted to improve it. It was frustrating to have to start over, but I was determined to make it better.  I began by rearranging the order of the shots to create a more cohesive story. Next, I focused on the sound design, adding in more atmospheric sound effects to heighten the tension. I also experimented with different music tracks to find the perfect score for the sequence. The music I used in the first half of the sequence sounded slightly corny. So I did more research ...

Planning Blog: Title Design

In the last two previous projects that had been the most difficult aspect of production. So looking forward to this project, there are improvements that need to be made.

To match, the font will be li...

Creative Critical Reflection

1. How does your project challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?      My project challenges conventions within media by displaying themes of mental health and depression. Additionally, while indie artists' music videos are often low budget, its not often you see an entire music video shot in a single setting, with a single actor, and a single person creating the whole thing. Throughout my music, the main character is shown experiencing feelings of depression as she ages. This goes against the norm because mental health is often an overlooked and taboo subject, especially within music videos, where the goal is to most usually entertain in a positive way. Another way it represents social groups is by featuring a woman of color as it's main subject. It's no secret the music industry white-dominated, so having someone of color isn't as common and this music video serves as representation for that issue. 2. How does your project engage with a...
