Intro blog

My name is Zoe zeilmann im in 10th grade and this is my first blog post for this class. I decided to take this class this year because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone a little bit. When I saw this as an option I definitely hesitated a bit because I wasn't so sure about it. Film making and movies arent really my thing. I barely like sitting down to watch a movie so I knew this would be interesting. So far I've been in the class for about a month maybe a little more I'm not sure. Ive started to learn a lot and I'm just getting started. The first thing we did was coming up with a message that means something to us and figuring out a way to show it without saying it. We also had to write a reflection on how we came up with it and what we would do differently next time. The next thing we did was learned all of our terms for film making and the different angles, sounds, and the different styles of editing. It was really quite interesting learning about everything. When I started the class I had no idea what it was gonna be like or if I was going to even like it. Now that I've started it I'm really enjoying it. It was interesting on learning about all the different angles there are and how they are filmed and what they are called. I also thought the different ways movies and TV shows are editited was quite interesting because when I reviewed some movie and TV show clips I would have never noticed that there was a disolve effect on my own. I will admit at the beginning like the first week or two I wasn't so sure I wanted to stay in this class. Im glad I decided to stick around I think this is good for me because im going to be doing something new. I'm really excited for whats to come in the future. Im definitely excited for the new projects coming up.

Editing

 Since there was a late start to the filming process there was a rush into the editing process as well.  I imported all my footage onto my computer after i was done with filming but in that process something messed up. When i thought all my footage was on my computer i removed it from my phone. Then when i went back to edit it i looked for all the footage and it turns out i lost it all. Im going to re film everything this weekend but heres what i have planned for when i edit. I plan on put my scenes in a way where she's remenicing the times with the girl she loves. Im going to try and fade these scenes together or some form of a transition so it looks smooth. Depending on the quality of the videos im going to add a nice filter over the video to make sure it looks good and clean. My video is going to be sort of the same concept my commercial was. I want to cut scenes and then go back to them after a few scenes. This video is supposed to be about a girl going back and thinking about

Genre research : Comedy

This project was made in the beginning of the year when i first started this class. This was to help understand the concept of genres. What we did was picked a genre from a list and we had to research and learn about them. The genre i picked was comedy. This wasn't a hard project to do it was so i could learn. I started by researching everything thats needed and key in a movie. First i researched the specific type of lighting and angles that are used. For every genre all the details are very different. I had to look at multiple pictures to see what angles and lighting are used the most.10 Next i studied the movement and Mise-En-Scene used in the comedy genre. It's often that the camera usually follows the character. Depending on the type of comedy the mise-en-scene is either dramatic or very casual. Next i researched about elements, example films, sounds. The elements are what make a comedy movie a comedy. Theres also sound effects in comedy's its what helps lighten up the

 The elements this movie has is the story it tells. This movie is about a young girl who gets into a car crash but never reaches the crash. She wakes up on the same day of the crash but it's exactly the same. As she repeats each day she has the ability to change what events take place. Throughout the whole movie she try try's multiple ways to figure out how to prevent the crash from happening. As the movie begins you notice she is a mean girl and says no to a certain guy and bullies the weird girl with her friends. At the end of the movie something significant happens and she realises whats really important. Her whole day changed based on how everything happens. The way this movie shows how a tragic event really effects you and you have the opportunity to change it. It's the journey of how she got to where she was at the end of the movie that really opens your eyes. Certain things aren't worth it for the popularity. Its what you know is right and how she helped. She rea
