Found our song!


 My group is going to do a music video, that is based off of generally having a great day! Full of adventure, using the clean version, and parts of "It Was A Good Day" By Ice Cube! The Music video will feature activities like basketball, waking up, and eating breakfast.

Costumes: For costumes, our group will be using clothing that is somewhat athletic for a basketball scene, pajamas for waking up out of bed, and casual cloths throughout the rest of the music video.

Props: Out team will be using some different props throughout filming. Basketballs, plates, silverware, food or traditional breakfast items are some of the items that will be used throughout our music video.

Sound/music: We will use "It Was A Good Day" by Ice Cube for our main sound device throughout almost the entire music video. However, the only other sound there will be is a simple alarm clock noise in the beginning of the video.



Our song of choice, correlates with our music video to show our audience that sometimes its feels good just to have a day to yourself, and to make it a good day. Its also shows the audience that sometimes we should take a break from our stressful lives, and enjoy our life for what we want it to be!

Our team is going to use many angles to captivate the theme, and meaning of our video. For example, eye level angles are going to be used to show the audience activities being done, bur more specifically an over the shoulder angle is going to be used in the basketball scene. Also, wide shots are going to be used to show the interactions of our actors having a good time.

What we picked!

   After thorough research and thought, we've decided on the Drama genre. Horror, drama, and comedy are three entirely different genres, and are rather difficult to compare. Our pitch has a rather dark and serious aspect to it. With this, concluded that the lightheartedness of a comedy was definitely not the way to go. Aspects of a comedy include things bright and joyous lighting, fun props and light makeup. It is clear that a film capturing battles with substance abuse and addiction would not be portrayed in a breezy light hearted way. Further, popular movies under the comedy genre, like Step Brothers and Mean Girls, have none of the vision that wee see in our movie. This left us to decide between horror and drama. While these can both have chilling, surreal aspects, one just fit our theme better than the other. Horror films make use of dark lighting, setting and mood, but horror does it as the scare the watchers, and we don't want to go THAT dark. Horrors use a lot of eerie ...

Production: Finding the Perfect Location

Image
 Today I went over location of the shoot. I knew majority of the film would be shot in different places of my house. For scenes where the father is not in his daughters room, I wanted to figure out the best location. I walked around my house considering suitable settings. My mother has rather "glamours" taste, and loves to make the house look nice. This in mind, I had to be sure there were places I could take shots that wouldn't portray any sort of lavish scenery. In the scene where the father is passed out in his chair, I had a vision of a big, brown reclining arm chair. However, I do not own any type of chairs like this, just rolling office chairs. Instead, I figured I could use the end of our brown couch. My tv in room is rather plain at the moment, and has brown walls, so it seemed fitting. I tried out different lighting to see what would fit the mood best. I found that nigh time with the back kitchen light on gave just the right look. Further, while I initially thoug...

Title Research: Gattaca

Image
1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?  Which ones?     There was a total of 18 title scenes, 20 including the two quotes at the very beginning. It started with the quotes then went to the main production company(Columbia), the production, who the film was by, finally the cast. They showed two cast members then the main title, Gattaca, then the rest of the cast. It is assumed that the two first cast members listed are the main actors. Then finally, the other important people that added to the film at the end. 2.  What connotations do the images carry?  ( how  do you they make you feel) The imaging at the start is most just blue screen. It shows something falling and bouncing around in the background. Then at the end you can see a main shaving his beard. The movie is starting at the end of the title sequence. The imaging at the beginning make me feel wonder as to what's going to happen and leave me sus...
