Organization is key!

Today, my partner and I organized our schedules and came up with where we are going to start filming first. We decided that we would start up at my house. The goal is to film everything in two days since our schedules are so packed. We decided that I'd be going to my partners house the following shooting day. Our plan is that her mom will come and pick us up after school, and we'd pick up where we left off. A lot of the scenes we need to film are near my partner's home. My partner doesn't live far from me so it wont be that hard if we need to shoot something again. Since my partner has work in the afternoon, we are going to film in the morning for a few hours before she has to go. We can film one particular scene on our own, so at least we have that. Although our schedules aren't 100% compatible, we are making it work! Since the project is basically due by December 10th, we want to finish before that. We decided to film on the 4th and the 8th. We will edit in class on the 7th and be completely finished then. The way we organized this was perfect. It fits both our schedules and its quick. If everything goes according to plan we should be done with everything in those two days! My partner and I work efficiently while having fun, so I'm looking forward to everything. This music video seems a lot more fun. The creative aspects of it all blend so well. I can't wait for the final product!

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  The first film was produced in 2005 and is a short film. 9 is a 2005 computer animated science fiction short film created by Shane Acker as a student project at the UCLA Animation Workshop. Tim Burton saw the film and later produced a feature-length adaptation also titled 9 in 2009, directed by Acker and distributed by Focus Features. 9 is a rag doll who appears to be the last of his kind, living in the ruins of a decaying, post-apocalyptic Earth. Hunting 9 is the Cat Beast, a mechanical monster wearing a cat's skull for a head. It appears to be guided by a small glowing talisman which it holds in its claws. 9 (the full film) is also a computer-animated science film directed by Shane Acker, written by Pamela Pettler and produced by Jim Lemley, Tim Burton, and Dana Ginsburg.  A scientist is ordered by his dictator to create a robot in the apparent name of progress, and so the scientist creates the B.R.A.I.N., a highly intelligent robot. The dictator seizes it upon its ap...

Story Board

Image
   During this class period, my partner and I set up our storyboard for our Crocs commercial. We decided on how the commercial would be set up first and then how we would set up the storyboard that will coordinate with our commercial. In our first box, we have the actress holding a pair of crocs to show the jibbitz/gems off that decorate the crocs. In our second box, the actor is seen putting on their crocs while they are sitting on a bench located in the school. The third box shows the actor walking with the crocs on in both sports and comfortable mode. After the shoes are shown in both of the different wearable modes, the cameraman or woman will zoom into the crocs, showing the different angles of the shoes. Finally, our last box/part of our commercial will include the actors dancing as the crocs slogan comes on the scene concluding our commercial. Since my partner and I don't have a plethora of different color crocs, during the time of recording if anyone else with a pair o...

Genre Research: Big Catch

Image
  When looking for comedy short films on the websites given, we were unable to find any pertaining to comedy My team and I decided that it would be best to just look for one on Youtube rather than struggling to find one on the websites. Before going to Youtube we checked the regular internet where we mainly found films in our genre but they were full length. The first film we found on Youtube was "Big Catch." This interested us first because of the thumbnail. The thumbnail for this short was a picture of a man sitting with headphones and a shark behind him smiling. Seeing this, we automatically assumed that the shark would be trying to eat this man, but we did not know how it planned on going about it. In this film, there is no dialogue but there is diegetic sound where we can hear the birds making noise, the squeaking of the the shark on the deck, and the shark screaming as he realizes he is about to be thrown back into the ocean. Since this was an animated film, a lot of ed...
