Filming is complete

 Today began like any other day for my group. But then it occurred to me that my group was filming today. My friends and I were ready to shoot since we had a lot on our minds. Today was a terrific start because everyone was able to film. Sophia, Allison, and I started filming the segments. After that, I worked with Darrow on a handful of projects. We didn't like the viewpoint after the first photo. We went on to our next scenario after Sophia tried a few more angles but couldn't seem to get the right one. The section with Darrow was filmed by my group. We went back and viewed the clip again, and it wasn't what we were looking for. As a result, we altered the lighting. We went back and watched it again, and this time we enjoyed it even more. Just in case we didn't get it the first time, my group shot again. Today, my group was quite productive. My friends and I were worried that we wouldn't be able to finish on time. But we were mistaken. My group organized ahead of time to ensure that we would have ample time. My group would most likely require 1-2 extra filming days. Finally, we finished out the day by editing our first video. At first, we were adamant about not doing so. But then recall that we didn't know how to edit very well to begin with, and that it would assist us in learning. We ended up really like the result and can't wait to tweak it. That's A Wrap! — Alexandria Film Festival

All about me!

  My name is Allison Nordyke, I'm in 11th grade. My favorite color is blue, I know basic but its true. Blue reminds me of everything I love, going on the boat being surrounded in beautiful blue water. Water sports like wake boarding or tubing, going super fast, with only the water beneath me. Swimming, I am a swim teacher, I teach little kids how to swim. Travel, being high up in the sky without a thing in sight except the ocean down below. Waterfalls, hiking in the mountains walking miles in the heat all to get to the beautiful waterfall at the end to make the whole thing worth it. All of these thing that I love all bring me back to one color, blue. My friends would call me an easygoing, adventurous, confident, happy person. I spend my weekends with my friends either going to the beach, going shopping, going on the boat and doing many other things. I love holidays but my favorite is Christmas, and its not just because of gifts, mostly because my birthday is the day after; December

Filming Blog for Jansport Commercial

Image
Our first day of filming was productive. Since my group only consists of Sophia and I and we needed more people for our commercial our friends in the class Darrow, Dellana and Lucas helped us out and were in our film. Today we got through the first three scenes, I was the main actor and Sophia filmed while Dellana, Darrow and Lucas also helped with acting. All three scenes today were filmed on the senior patio. In our first scene we started off at the top of the stairs by the auditorium and I grabbed the Jansport backpack and ran down the stairs. We had to reshoot multiple times because it was difficult to get the timing right when the friends gathered around. In the second scene the student without a Jansport backpack, who Darrow was playing, was having trouble with his bag, it was broken and his books were falling out. After reviewing our first shot we realized we needed to try a different angle because they way the sun reflected off the metal pole. Our second shot turned out perfect

Genre Research: West Side Story

• Common camera angles include close up shots, establishing shots and low angle shots. Close up shots were used to show the main characters and the emotions displayed on their faces. Establishing shots were used to show the setting of scenes as they would change. And low angles shots were prevalent when showing the male characters indicating superiority. We plan to include all of these types of shots in our video to make it more like a real movie.  •Diegetic sound is heard throughout the movie indicating the business of the world around them. We plan to use this type of sound in our video as well, ranging from the sounds of cars driving by, to birds chirping, to people talking in the background. This will help our video to seem as if it was filmed in real time similar to the West Side Story movie.  •Some conventions of the genre that our group chose to base our final task on are the angles as stated above, establishing shots, low angles, and closeups, the diegetic sound, as well as, li
