Genre Research: The Call

 The Call is a thriller film that came out in 2013. A 911 operator, Jordan gets a regular call from a girl who seems to be in danger. She seems to be home alone and there is an intruder in the house. She calls 911 and Jordan picks up. While in the house the intruder seems to get closer so the girl hides under a bed. Unfortunately, she accidentally hangs up the phone. Jordan calls her back and reveals the girl's location. Unfortunately, it ends with her demise and Jordan gets fired. Later on, Jordan gets a call from a girl who is kidnapped and is inside the man's car. Jordan takes action to try and save her life making it her only goal at the moment.

Elements our pitch and movie have: Our pitch is also involved with crime. The godmother murders the best friend but the police don't know that yet and she gets away with it. The mother and Jordan both make really life-threatening mistakes. In our film, the mother makes the huge mistake of making her best friend the godmother. Of course, she had no idea this would happen but sometimes we let the wrong people into our lives. Jordan in The Call makes the unfortunate mistake of calling the girl back. Both situations end with a tragic death. 

Elements I like: This was one of my favorite movies back when it came out. I've always been interested in crime. In fact,  want to major in criminology after leaving high school. I love the plot, in general, it's very interesting to watch and puts you on edge. It's so realistic yet also fictional in some aspects.

Elements I don't like: The only element I don't like is that Jordan had to get fired for something she had no intention of doing. Yes, it was wrong but all Jordan wanted to do was save the girl's life.

  Before: Once I finished filming and made sure I had all my scenes and looked back at them to make sure I was happy with them. I also deleted any extra videos saved in my camera roll that was not going to be used. Now, I started my editing process. During: During my editing process I officially sat down and began working on my commercial. The editing software that I used was Cute Cut Pro. I added the first scene of my commercial and cut up any extra time. Then, I added the next scene and made sure that the transition was clean and not choppy. I noticed that already with my first two scenes, my commercial was already 14 seconds. I felt like I needed to cut it up more. I tried to make it so each scene added up to 5 seconds. Once I finished adding my other scenes I added the rest of my scenes and again made sure they transitioned smoothly. Each time I made some progress in my commercial, I went back and viewed how it looked all together. Now I added the text to my commercial and mov...

Editing Blog for my Music Video

 Before: Now that my partner and I finished filming all our scenes we began editing. At this point, we had realized the mistake that we had made. We forgot that we needed to film our video horizontally and not vertically. We couldn't go back and retake the scenes because it was already dark outside.  During: When I was younger I would make random edits of my favorite celebrities and influencers. Because of this I already had some minor experience with using editing software. I did most of the editing but my partner was the creative director behind it. The first part was picking a good part of the song to use for our music video. I went on Youtube and Suzie suggested using the part of the song where there is less singing because it would fit better with our video. We did just that and got the 30 seconds of the song we needed. The software we used to edit is Cute Cut Pro, I've used this software multiple times because it is so easy to use and makes editing so much more enjoyabl...

 Youtube Link:  https://youtu.be/m8puPEq23A4     My overall experience with this commercial project was great. I really love the product I chose, I use it often and think its a great lip-gloss. When it comes to production, I enjoyed the way I filmed my project and edited it. I think it really represents who I am and the passion I have for makeup and beauty. The filming was pretty smooth and enjoyable. Editing was also fun, after I figured out home to do transitions and how to make my commercial the right length. I wish I would have incorporated all the aspects that I had on my storyboard and in my head into my commercial. However, I had limited time and wasn't able to fully create the commercial I wanted to. However, I am still very proud of what I created and think it's really close to what I intended it to be. My other concern is that I wish there were more details provided on the requirements of the project. I wasn't aware of many things but luckily I still w...
