Filming Blog Music Video: Dylan's House

 The first part of filming was done at my house. At around noon, my groupmates came over to my house to film a scene. Also, before we started official filming, we planned out how the rest of filming day would go. We took a look at our past blogs to make sure we had everything done correctly. As well as we went over our storyboard to check the chronological timeline of our music video. Through this, we made our plans for the day and began filming. At my house, we shot the roof scene. I was filmed singing the start of the song God's Plan. It took about 4-5 times to get the right scene since it was windy outside. Unfortunately, I had to wear a hoodie and sweatpants since it was colder outside than usual. I was sitting on my roof and my groupmate Donavan was recording. We also created the opening scene on my computer. We made 2 PowerPoint slides to open the music video. These 2 slides both had a black background and white lettering explaining what our budget was and how we spent all of it. Filming the first part at my house went smoothly. There were no major setbacks and we were still on schedule. Our only minor setback was that our groupmate Tripp could not come to my house to film. He could not come because he had work from 12-2. However, the film we shot only included me in it, so Tripp did not miss out on anything and we did not have to improvise. Overall it took about 2 hours at my house for the first part of filming our music video. It all went according to plan and smoothly thankfully.

The images prioritized consists of being in the house and kitchen, a man walking in a semi-lighted chamber-look-a-like where a few girls are seemed to be tied up and outside at night in the city. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? The dark aesthetic of the house and kitchen add a lot of suspense. In the kitchen and the living room the lights shut off and it is pitch black. The use of little to no lighting throughout builds suspense and creates tension, which is what the genre thriller offers.

Title Design: Final Task

Fonts: T here will be some simple and bold fonts such as Condensed Bold, Semi Bold, and Black Italic. The use of these different fonts will make the titles pop or show them boldly for the audience to see clearly. Another main point of these fonts is to be eye-catching, as opposed to something in the background meaning that it is the main focus of ea ch scene.   Color:   Depending on where and when the scene is filmed , the title sequences will be in different colors so that they do not blend in with the backdrop. For example, with a sky scene with a blue and white backdrop, we will use something dark, such as a bold black. And then for something darker, such as a black background, the title will be a lighter color, such as white, red,  green, etc. Different coloring will be essential for the title sequences to not blend in with any backdrops.   Size:  Now for the size, the size of each title sequence will depend on how important th...

These days will be the ones where we get the acting in check and ensure our actors have all of their lines memorized and deliver them correctly. All scenes will be filmed on these days. If all not completed, the next day will have time set aside to film remaining scenes.    2/15/25:   Recording of voiceovers made and other audios will be found. The sound for the FT will be found and imported onto the computer, ensuring it is there for the editing process. Minor editing will also take place, but not major; this means playing around with the color correction of the scenes but nothing serious.    2/18/25-2/19/25:  Editing will commence and the video will be put together. The team will work together to put the video together and incorporate different editing tactics in order to fully appreciate the vibe that we are going for. Cutting the videos and putting and syncing t...
