Filming- 

On Saturday, October 8th, i filmed with my group. Sofia provided the meeting place of the gym in her community. This is where my group ended up filming our whole video. I was the videographer, so i filmed all of the commercial. In the beginning I went outside so Sofia, Jenna, and Kaz could practice their dance segment for the commercial. Sofia, Kaz and Jenna kept going in different directions with their dance moves. Finally, after a couple times practicing the group was coordinated. Sofia, Jenna, and Kazmin all brought colorful and black workout clothing to change into from scene to scene. Everyone had some sort of issue in the beginning because I had been told my group couldn't be loud in the gym because it would disturb people. After discussing the plan outside, so I wasn't to loud, I went back in to film. My group started out with the first scene which was Sofia, Jenna, and Kaz walking into the gym. This was tricky because i wasn't sure where to stand to film to get the whole perspective. I finally stood in front of the door that Sofia, Kaz and Jenna ended up walking through. I then decided it would be smart to walk backwards as everyone was walking in to create more of a live effect. The next couple of scenes were tricky because I needed to get multiple surroundings in one frame. There was going to be a scene where Kaz was lifting weights while the girls would be laughing in the distance on the other side of the gym. Instead I filmed a scene where Kaz was running on the treadmill with Sofia and Jenna behind him to get a smaller frame. I found it tricky to really show what the product was-airpods. Because of this, i decided to zoom into Kaz wearing the airpods so the video would make sense with what was presented. There was then a scene where my group mates were all dancing. This took a couple takes to get correct because as i mentioned earlier, the girls were all uncoordinated even though the dance had been practiced prior. After a couple takes, my group got the dance right and i was able to shoot that scene. I overall, didn't have too many issues filming on my iPhone and was able to complete filming within an hour.

First day of filming (exploring)

Hey, welcome back to the blog! Kaz and the girls were finally able to film! It was a pretty sunny day and it was right before my group went on vacation for spring break. Jenna picked me up at from my house in the morning with Sof in the car. She brought her friend Amelia to help with filming as well. There were also more friends that met us at the location so the filming process could go smoother and there would be more actors in this opening sequence. Once Jenna picked me up, she drove to Hollywood to pick Kaz up. Jenna was circling Hollywood circle in her car for like 10 minutes waiting to find Kaz. It felt like a wild goose chase for him. After picking up Kaz, Jenna drove around Hollywood beach looking for the location. When my group got there, Jenna parked and all of us walked around the location of the abandoned mall. I first had Emilia film the opening shot off all of us in front of the location. It was so creepy looking. Part of it is abandoned but part of it it kind of occupie...

 Blogger i am sad to inform you that Kaz and the girls have broken up. But... it is okay we're still friends we are just in different classes this year and it made more sense to do this with other people. I will miss them but i am excited to tell you about my new group i have picked. Now to tell you about my new group. This group consists of Brianna, Isabella, Lauren and I. First we have Brianna, who i have known since the first day of high school. She is on the most reliable people i have ever met. Brianna i know is going to contribute a lot to the group and i am so excited to work with her. Brianna also tells me she loves editing titles and design. Isabella or Isa as we call her is my next group member. I became close with Isa this year and I am so grateful to have because she is such a supportive friend and hype-women. Isa is super hardworking and dedicated in everything she does. Isa brings a lot to our group as she is a dancer and is involved in the arts which can come really ...

Hey, long time no see, It is Savannah Diaz back at blogging again. The commercial and music video was quite a journey, but the time spent was so much fun. I learned so much from that experience, and my group was the best to work with. Now, it's time for the final task and I can't lie, I am a little nervous, but I know It will be so much fun and so great. This class so far has been really fun, and has allowed me to expand on the subjects I am interested in. Ever since I can remember, I've loved the idea of the movie industry in Hollywood, California. I've loved the lights, cameras, and movies. I was excited for this class because I knew it would help me progress in film skills. I love the idea of how each camera angle has a meaning in the filming process. I also love how transformative filming can be in the aspect of how it can mirror many people's lives. Already, i have learned so much from media studies. It has definitely contributed to my interest in the film indu...
