I have selected Noah Sherman-Rocque as my partner for the upcoming commercial project. Noah is one of my best friends but I selected him only because he has the attributes a good project partner should have. He is a very intelligent student who maintains above a 4.0 GPA. His work ethic is through the roof when it comes to school work. He always gets what he needs to get done on time and it's always done up to the highest standards. I have worked with Noah in the past on projects and he always made his best efforts to assist the group in whatever they needed. Knowing that he is a great team player is such a good confidence booster because I can rely on him. I am sure that he will be easygoing and cause minimal if any issues at all during the shooting or editing. He has shown to me time and time again that he has the capability of solving most difficult problems that come his way. Also, Noah in the past has worked with various forms of technology like cameras and sound editing software's. Our skill sets compliment each other very well in various ways. For example, we will be able to get our work done efficiently due to our work ethics. We will also have our filmmaking work split up because I am learning how to master video editing and he is experienced with cinematography and sound editing. So, I will be the actor and video editor while he will do the other stuff he's skilled in. This is why I elected him as my partner, he is an easygoing, hard working friend with experience in the technological field. Not to mention, the school we attend has a variety of amenities that we can use. There is a gym, football field, weight room, auditorium, courts, baseball field, etc. So, whether we do a commercial on sports drinks or new shoes we'll have access to the resources we need. The chemistry I have with him when we work together is something special. I have confidence that between the two of us, we can produce high quality projects.

  First Scene The main male and female character will enter the clubhouse room as camera tracks them from the front. In this shot the camera will be eye level. The characters will be picture wearing trendy streetwear. This scene will correspond with the instrumental opening of the song.

Genre Re-Adjustment: Project Blog

Image
   Our group realized minor flaws in our film as we continue through this production process. The biggest issue that has come to surface is that our genre isn't represented as well as we thought it was going to be. I did not think this was going to be an issue at the start. In fact, I thought the mystery genre was the perfect fit. As I am watching how the production is unfolding, it seems as if our problem is that we can't necessarily get the feel of a true mystery film in our 2 minute clip. This means, our film's conventions don't completely align with those of a real mystery. I still believe that it can fit the genre, but giving it the title of a mystery-thriller would be more fitting. The camera angles and movements used in our film are those typically used in mystery films. For example, we use extreme close-ups on objects to provide a mysterious feel about them. Also, we use low and high angles to show superiority and inferiority in different characters. On the othe...

Our Pitch

Image
A person receives a briefcase and is unaware of its contents, unbeknownst to him he is being followed.          This pitch has great potential because of its ability to harness the unknown and be action packed in a short period of time. The pitch also conforms well to the settings we have available due to our access to the urban setting. Furthermore this pitch doesn't require props inaccessible to the group making it a great candidate. However, this pitch struggles with a lack of dialogue and it will be difficult to facilitate conversation throughout. I believe that despite this the pitch's positive aspects outweigh the negative ones because its exciting and is mysterious. A natural disaster knocks out the power in a city, forcing an evacuation but for one man something goes wrong.     This pitch has potential for success because the story presented has a lot of versatility and can go in many ways. The pitch also works well because it adheres to the am...
