Kevin's group

     For the 30 second commercial project I will be working alone. I want to work alone because I feel it will be more efficient. I do not have to meet up with other classmates and have to work along with their schedules. Working alone also means I can be as creative as I want to be and I do not have to compromise on an idea with another person. I can get work done efficiently on my own time and expense. During this project I will be able to express my own interests  and use my own personal style. I thought about working in a group with my friends but I shortly reconsidered. I reconsidered because often when working in groups people don't like to do their part. You have to depend on others to get their part done and when they don't do their part it causes conflict and your project may have gaps in it. Working alone may put more work upon myself but I know that I can do the entire thing the right way and I wont have to depend on others. Furthermore I like working alone because I personally get in the zone when I am working on things and I do not like being disturbed. I like to keep to myself and focus on what is in my mind. When working with others you have to listen to their input on the said challenge and work with them to complete it. In this project I want to succeed and have zero distractions to hold me back. My filming process will be able to be done at any time and wherever I choose it to be. I can also edit it with my own colors and themes, etc. I have some ideas already about what i want to do my project on. The first being an old spice commercial. These commercials are funny and have very soothing music in the background. Another option for me would be like a sports drink commercial along with a commercial such as sun bum. One final thought that I have thought about doing is a boat commercial advertising a boat company's product. This project will be a great way to learn the first steps in doing great film work and making actual film productions.

First Takes

 Hello again!!! Today is Monday and I am back for the first production blog of this project and I am very excited that I have completed my filming of the opening scene. This scene has begun by setting the tone for the horror film which will unfold scene by scene. With each passing day my momentum of filming gains traction and I am starting to get into a groove. With my opening scene I filmed it in my girlfriends room and played with lighting and other factors. I did not want it to be too bright as that would give too much of an energetic vibe and that is not the tone of the film at all. Instead of turning on the celing lights I used a lamp as it was moodier and not as in your face. Another tactic that I used was to add props to give a further meaning to the character in the film. My girlfriend has done an amazing job being the actor so far and I really enjoy being the filmer. I am using my iPhone in cinematic mode because the quality is very good and it is shot in 4k resolution. I ...

Closing Time...

 Hello again, today is March 9th, and I am almost at the end of this project. My movie has really shaped up since the last blog which was my start to the editing process. I got some input from some fellow students and how their productions have turned out. And mine may not be the best but I am still happy with how it has turned out. This production from start to finish took over a month because Junior year has been really hard and I have been trying to juggle SAT and ACT prep while keeping up with my grades and all my other work / tests. It gets very busy. For this project, just like all my other productions, I used my iPhone to film. Using an iPhone is just so simple and easy. It has an integrated camera that shoots in 4k quality and to edit all I have to do is select the clips and transfer them. It is extremely simple and the most convenient way to do this. I have covered a lot of content regarding this production. Coming up I have many exams as the semester is concluding which p...

Critical Reflection

Critical Reflection ^link^ Critical Reflection Kevin Ricks 1304 words How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film has three characters. The characterisation in the short film is not limited, the names of the characters are known to the audience but not too deep into depths. My short film does briefly illustrate the problems faced by the main character. The main obstacle the character faces is to escape being kidnapped while on vacation in a foreign place that is unfamiliar. At its core, the abduction of a child evokes universal fears and concerns shared across communities worldwide. It boldly highlights the vulnerabilities individuals, especially children, face when navigating unfamiliar environments, emphasizing the importance of safety precautions and vigilance. The incident in my short film prompts discussions on the responsibilities of travel not traveling alone and the help of  local authorities in ensuring the security of tourists, shedding light on ...
