Five Essentials: Tone - Post 27

 Second Essential: Tone


The overall feeling and vibe of the opening and film in general is the tone. It's important that the film begins and flows to the end with a relevant tone. This is because if the opening were to be completely different from the middle or end, the audience would become confused and put off by the inconsistency and no relevancy. 

In my film opening, I tried to keep the tone serious and intense. I attempted this by taking fast-paced shots, filter some scenes to look a bit darker, and keeping the dialogue aggressive. I feel as though the techniques I used fitted the genre the film is categorized in.

- How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? CCR 1 PowerPoint - Jadan Cedeno.pptx My product introduces the funny yet complicated relationship between siblings, a sister and brother. Usually in films, sibling relationships are represented as "tough love," and leave the rest of the film for character development for one or both siblings to make their bond towards one another stronger. Since they identify as Latino/Hispanic, I decided to go with this theme since this particular group as People Of Color (POC) tend to have harsher way of being raised. Though this can be included in all social groups, I personally went for this group because I am Latina myself, so I wanted to represent my people and bring to light what some of us go through at home that affects our relationships with other people in our lives.  I also settled with a shared dramatic situation between the two siblings to leave the door open for bonding later...

Failed Attempt - Post 25

  This was my first attempt at making my preliminary video. I recorded this on December 5th, 2020. This was created entirely on a whim without much discussion and planning (which is very evident).  Although I'd say the camera shots and movements were decent, but the plot, acting, and execution were subpar in my opinion. My peers also agreed when I showed them the video that I could've done a better film opening, and that's when I decided to take it more seriously and redo everything from scratch.

Creative Critical Reflection 3 - Post 41

 -  How did your production skills develop throughout this project? CCR 3 - Jadan Cedeno.pptx Throughout this project, for my draft and final film production, I used two different mobile editing apps for my phone. For my draft, I used VivaCut and for my final I used CapCut. I transitioned because I wanted to used an editing app that doesn't include their watermark or logo in the corner throughout the whole film video, so CapCut was the best choice. Due to my past experience editing, using the new app wasn't difficult at all; very simple.  As for my skills, I can see my development when comparing my two film videos. In my draft, I just shot it by the textbook and wasn't very considerate of important factors like setting and props. I directed a film opening that can be considered as criminal/mafia, yet, the settings, props, costumes, and mise en scene in general did not fit the match. It's evident that I only went for the story but not the story-telling. I believe my came...
