First day back at it


 Today I worked on our website for the short film. Today I decided on whether I would be making it from scratch using JavaScript or use a template website to build it. I ended up deciding that we were going to go with the second option. Our group will be using Wix to build our website. I believe that this was the best decision not because of how it would look but instead because of the amount of time that we have. Wix would be the best way to make our website look good in this short amount of time. Not only that I am very proud in my web designing abilities to not let my group down. They are all working hard to make this film look good and I will do the same. Not only that this website will reflect that. 

Upon figuring out the means to building the website I also  narrowed our options to 3 templates. The templates being one that’s more fun, a sophisticated one, and one with a strong feminine aesthetic. I was able to single it down to those three and will be able to complete my decision by tomorrow. But I chose each one for a different reason. Since our main character was a girl I thought the template that had more of a feminine character would be good. On the other hand the sophisticated template fits the vibe that our film portrays since it is a drama. Lastly I also thought that the fun template is more physically appealing and is really fun to look at since it has a lot of motion pictures. Overall the website should be a reflection of the hard work that we are putting into this film. I will make sure this goal will be met.

The Struggle of Editing

Image
 Todays editing could be described as a hard fought victory. Today was the day I had a lot of work to get done that I ended up finishing in due time. It took lots of stress, and endurance but the video is done. Thank the lord that the video is done. It wasn't everything I hoped it would be but I definitely will settle for less. The only reason I will do this is because this is my first time doing this. My skills and knowledge will only improve from here. The way this commercial ends will not be the same as the others to come. I have faith that I will be able to do better from here on out due to my determination. Especially because this is something that I actually enjoy to do. This was something that I viewed as a fun project. The editing was still the less favorable part within the whole entire project. By far the editing was the hardest part of the entire assignment. The only reason I think that it is the hardest is because it has the most factors that go into it. It was the most

Genre Research- Drama

Drama CAMS- Dramas are usually associated with extremely close up shots, bird eye views, medium shots, over the shoulder shots and close ups.  MIS-EN-SCENE For drama's things like setting, props, and costumes may vary but in regards to things like acting and make-up they are usually the same. Through most of the movies viewed, drama's are usually associated with serious acting, not a lot of joking around. The makeup like most films that aren’t superhero movies, are natural. Same for costumes, the just depend on the characters  Editing- The editing always has some kind of foreshadowing. They try to let the characters know that something is going to happen through the way they edit the sequence is very fore-shadowy. Sound-  The sound happens to vary, but it’s normally a very still-sounding no word track playing. Like horror movies, not a lot of descriptions Examples of dramas would be Little Women, The fallout, and After Things I love about the opening sequences are the usage of
