1 Filming Blog : Hair Salon


 On Sunday, I filmed with my two of my friends. As the director, I told them everything that they needed to do. I gave them directions on where to stand, how to act, and overall the entire rundown of how I wanted to film the commercial. I brought the main prop that was used for filming. In the first scene, I used a tilt to show the model's distress, trying to find a good picture. I had to reshoot that scene a few times because my actress still was getting used to being on camera. In the beginning scenes, I had to make sure that both actresses' interaction wasn't awkward. I to film the shots and angles that went along with the set. I had to make sure that I filmed those scenes quickly because the sky was getting grey and the lighting was getting dull. I then went to the primary location, the hair salon. Here we shot the rest of the commercial. When I first started filming everything went smoothly. Then, a while later, a few clients came in to get their hair done. I had to pause the filming process and wait for everyone to finish. While this "break" occurred, I had to do my model's hair for the ending scene. I filmed the "hair washing" scene and used a high angle to portray this. I also filmed the scenes of the product displayed in various ways. The transformation of the model took me a few hours to complete. Afterward, I had the film the ending scenes before I could film the middle. Overall, I filmed my commercial effectively and effectively.

Production Blog: First Group Filming Session

 My group and I have finally met up. I had to pick up one of our actresses, Mya. At first we set up a time to meet but my team member had an appointment so they tried to filming earlier. Unfortunately, we ended up filming the originally scheduled time because I live in Deerfield and had to drive to Fort Lauderdale. We met at Akiel’s house and got right to work. The first thing we did was film the establishing shot. We took multiple shots of the neighborhood. One way we did this was by getting high ground. We did a 360-degree overview of the neighborhood. We only filmed scenes 1, 3,5,10, and 11. We then drove to the Corner store and went inside to ask for permission to film. Once we received an okay we filmed the scene of Akiel looking for a snack. Then we shot an eyeline shot. We had to reshoot the scene from different angles. Mya and I set up outside of the store. Once Akiel was done with his solo scenes we filmed our scenes. We filmed the speaking scene but the environment was ve...

Title Blog: Drama Genre

The title that is displayed in this opening sequence is the name of the film, Saint Judy. You also see the writers, directors, editors, music by, actors, and product names. They make sure they put the production company name, who’s the film by, and what type of film it is. In the opening sequence, there’s a flag, a group of people, and a courthouse. You also see a jail cell, police, cameras, and a library. I see documents, the statue of liberty, and apartments. The flag represents the United States of America. The group of people and the poster is saying they are protesting for something. The jail cell, police, and the courthouse mean someone is in trouble with the law. The camera and the apartments would be that neighborhood is being watched. The documents, library, and the statue of liberty mean someone is preparing for a case. The film establishes the feeling of Drama because of the natural lighting. It makes things seem more realistic. They have a courthouse, with the police, and a...
