Group Blog

     Hello, I am Mya Hauser and I have chosen to work with a group on this project. I am working with Katie Weiss, Ely Silverberg, and Jade Walrave because I have known from past experiences that we all have different skills, which will make us such a great team.

    Starting off with myself, I am able to contribute artistic ability and designing ability to the group. I will be thinking of the set design, location, and props for our commercial. I have had a lot of experience creating these ideas freshly from my mind, so I am the perfect fit for this position. This is very important because, without a location, the commercial cannot even be filmed.

    Secondly, Katie Weiss is incredibly talented and has amazing writing skills. We both are on the varsity debate team, and I have seen through many rounds that her writing skills are top-notch. She is able to use the right vocabulary for different types of audiences. These techniques will help us grasp an outstanding dialogue for the right audience.

    Next, Ely Silverberg has a very creative mind and is able to think of many topics and ideas for our commercial. He is able to create certain images in his mind to help with the visual part of our production. Now, this is one of the most important pieces in our commercial because our group needs a topic to persuade people on completing the task we want them to complete. His skills also help the audience stay intrigued in our commercial.

    Lastly, Jade Walrave is a great photographer and videographer. She is able to film our commercial at the right angles to get the perfect outcome. She also loves being filmed as well, which means we will be using her also as an actress for our commercial. This will be very useful because we wouldn't have to find someone to be an actress or actor for our commercial. 

    All in all, Katie Weiss, Ely Silverberg, Jade Walrave and I will make an incredible team because we all contribute something unique to the commercial.  I am contributing artistic ability, Katie is providing writing skills and techniques, Ely will supply ideas, and Jade is able to film and be a part of our commercial.

My Final Task

Image
After a full year of creative planning, filming, and editing, I have come to the end of my journey. I finally finished my film “Victim Nine” along with my group members! After many days of work and planning, I have finished my movie and cannot be happier of the outcome. Throughout this journey I have learned so much about the film making process and how challenging it is to create. After planning, filming, and editing my commercial, music video, and film, I have learned how to work with a group of people to create amazing pieces of media. I have always idolized actors and directors, and it was great to experience both worlds at once! I cannot be happier that I joined this class. This is not the beginning of my adventure, and I will continue to create and produce many films for fun and hopefully work. I hope to use this knowledge and work in media production later on in my life. I now present my final film, Victim Nine.

Production Blog: Editting Blog

Image
 After filming was completed, it was finally time to edit. Connor, one of my group members, chose to edit the video since he had a lot of experience. My partner was enrolled in many coding and media classes throughout his middle school career.  He edited on his laptop, which he volunteered to bring to school, so my group members and I could help assist. I found time during my sixth period study hall time to help participate in the editing process. When it came to editing, I had a few issues right off the bat. It was very difficult to edit during the school day, since the internet connection was slow. This made it impossible to open and run the editing software. By this time, I had tried to restart the device and try a new device completely. It had then occurred to me to use my partner's phone hotspot to connect to the PC. This succeeded, and I was able to begin editing immediately. I messaged my partner the videos I had taken on my phone and then transferred the files to ...

Production Blog: Music Blog Plan B?

Image
Filming is now completed for my film! My next step in this journey is to edit all of the different shots into one movie. However, I am forgetting about one of the most important parts of the film... the music! As soon as my group and I decided on a genre and plot for my film, I emailed a music production company named, Warner Chappel. The Warner Chappel company messaged me back a few weeks ago, asking for a price to own the rights to the song. This price was outrageous, as they were asking for $1000-$2000. This is when I had to come up with a Plan B. I collected my group to discuss the news and everyone was devastated, since everyone was hoping to use Born Too Late, by the Poni-tails for the entire film. Everyone had shared their ideas for a new plan. Some of these plans included, emailing a new music company  and messaging the Warner Chappel  company again to compromise for a new price. However, it was too late into the film to wait for another music production company's...
