Working out camera movements for the final task

 My next task is to make sure I will be able to completely fulfill the camera movement requirements for the final task. To do this, I will be using what I have ordered some things online to help me better film. As previously stated, I have ordered two tripods. A tall tripod and a hand held one.  I desperately needed the tall tripod for the final task as well as for my personal use. I will use the hand held tripod for the pans and tilts. If need be, I will add in other camera movements in my opening sequence. The tall tripod will be used for the camera movements that cannot be captured by the handheld tripod. Or for the details that my shaky hands can’t capture. This way, all my shots/movements will be steady and clear. Unless it is purposeful, I don’t want any of my movements to be handheld or shaky. In the final task a pan will be used to focus on the main character or what ever scenic shot I want to capture. While, the tilt will be used to look up or look down at the supporting character. There might be some instances were this will be vice versa. While filming I will be trying out different camera movements for different scenes. The reason I will be doing this is to have a variety of shots to pick through when editing everything together. This is so that I can get the best end results. Most likely, I will not be able to film things on several different days. Meaning, I will need to be thorough when I film the first time. So, need there be any changes, I won't be worried.

See you in the next one!

Editing Blog: My struggles with music & duration

Image
Editing is not my absolute favorite part of filmmaking as of now. I only say this because I'm not very good at it yet and that bothers me. When I watch movies made by famous filmmakers I'm always quick to appreciate its editing. But, after editing a project myself, I understand how hard editing can be. However, editing my Kiss eyelashes commercial was admittedly, not as hard as I first thought it would be. When I get to do more projects like this, I think I'll learn to love it. The only difficultly I encountered was finding the perfect music that would match the theme of my commercial as well as getting the duration of the film right. I had trouble finding the right music because I just felt like any song I'd pick would be insufficient. I looked up songs of all decades. From Aretha Franklin's "Baby Baby Baby" to Beyonce's "Independent Woman." While there were many songs that I were eager to use, none of them felt right to put into a commercia...

Finding props for the final task

Image
 My next task is to find props for the final task. The main thing I had to get was a few photo copies from my local Walgreens. Minor things I had to get were cereal boxes, picture frames, etc. As for the photo copies, there was a bit of difficulty finding a place to print them. Before I learned that I could print them at a convenience store, I had no idea where to go. First, I tried printing them at my house. But, on regular printer paper. This was a total fail. My printer barely had any colored ink and the picture came out black and white. It also came out with very low quality and very pixelated. So, I had to do a bit of searching on the internet. I needed to find out where I could get the best quality pictures for a low price. I went on a few websites, but all of the pricing was too high. Then i went looking in my local area. That’s when I found out that a store not too far away from my house. They had exactly what I needed for the final task. I found everything I was looking fo...

Intro Blog

 Hello to anyone out there reading this. My name is Taelor Barnes and I am a 16 year old. I have an older sister and a dog that has grew up with me since my parents first got her when I was 6. Academically, I am in the eleventh grade at Fort Lauderdale high school. Since ninth grade I have been waiting to take this class; it is one of the most intriguing courses I've heard about and discussed with my guidance counselor. Many of my friends have taken it in prior to the 2020/2021 school year and they have only had good things to say about it. In my previous high school years, I haven't had the chance to take this class due to my hectic schedule.  I am taking this class because I have always been interested in film and media. Ever since I could understand and interpret movies, I have been obsessed with knowing everything about them. Even with professional photography alteration, I think I may just be a tiny bit more analytical than the average person. I hyper fixate on many diffe...
