Today is the last day of filming. I have mixed feelings about the way things have turned out so far. However, I think we can make this work if we all stay focused. One of my friends does not feel well today. We will see how he feels as we continue. Today we will be focusing on the toughest scenes with me running into the woods. We will also have to do some creative videoing to create a ‘monster’ chasing me down to the bath house. Entering the woods, after a day of rain offers a really creepy and damp experience. Being here has definitely added to the “horror vibe” of the film. Everything kind of smells like a lake monster because it is humid, it is also still really wet from the rain of yesterday. The camera angles are kind of hard to get because the ground is soaked and so aren’t the leaves. No one really wanted to lie on the ground or be covered with leaves. We decided to go back to Party City and get some fake leaves to use instead. This gave my friend who is sick, a chance to take a quick nap in the car. We successfully finished filming with some creative collaboration to complete the last shots. I know I was really happy to be done. We were all pretty proud of our efforts. See you next blog.

When it comes to producing and editing my all about me commercial, there are many key factors. The key factor I will be discussing are the songs I chose. I will also talk about where they will be used in the commercial. For the commercial I will be choosing two songs that represent me. These songs will describe me as a person. One song will represent one of my past favorite hobbies. The other song will represent a special moment in my life. But to start off with, I will announce the final picture and video order. It will start off with a picture of me age three, with my Mom and Dad. This will be followed by another picture of me age four at my first year of baseball. This will be followed by a video of me at five playing baseball. Then followed by a picture of me age seven with me, Mom, Dad, My sister, and my brother (complete family). Then this will be followed by a video at nine of me and my friends. This will be followed by picture of me at eleven at my baseball championship and las...

CCR: Question 1 and 4

Hey Cambridge, I will be filming a day in the life of Dylan Tanner as I answer questions 1 and 4 of the CCR for AICE Media.   How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? In response to the first question, let’s break it down into two parts to better address both issues.   While filming this production, I chose to use a lot of shadowy imagery with fade-ins, fade-outs, tracking and sounds to build suspense without ever giving away the ‘actual monster’s’ face.   I used a variety of camera shots spanning from wide angles to close ups. I chose a variety of close-ups of the character’s faces to only reveal looks of horror and fear and to keep the identity of the ‘devil’ under wraps.    The music in the background starts out with a pleasant and low tone sound, with is paired with a visual of a clear road leading into the woods.   The tune becomes more ominous and the visual changes into a narrower an...
