Blog post #36 Filming Location

 Today I will be talking about the filming location and why I chose it.



This is Veterans Memorial Park (14333 Hicks Road), this place is a recreational center that is home to many things ranging from kids cheerleading to pickleball. This center has four main areas, the soccer fields, the left outdoor center, the right outdoor center, and the indoor area. The main area for my filming was the left outdoor center, this is because of its disperse vegetation, wildlife, and outdoor basketball courts that are newly redone. These courts are public and are not a very popular area like the indoor basketball courts, so it is easy to record there. The lighting will be natural because of the outdoor environment helping with the Mise-en-Scene aspects of the film. The vegetated area next to the basketball courts makes for an imagery filled scene that can immerse the audience in the beautiful environment. These courts also are newly redone, this helps make the film look more professional and it helps with the setting of the opening scene. This allows for the first two minutes of the film, to captivate the audience's attention through the vivid imagery and the nice and active environment that fills the sound.



The problems with this filming location are slim but they are evident, one example, is the shadows of the actors that will be evident in some of the shots. While the shadows add to the realism in the scene, it is hard to captivate the full use of the lighting through the shadows. These shadows can pose a problem for the camera too with certain shots being harder to film due to the low lighting in the shot. Another problem in the film that is mainly caused by the shadows is the lack of fill light. This makes it hard to film in a certain direction because of the lack of key light on the characters faces. This can cause the film to seem stiff due to a lack of physical emotions in the scene. But besides those two problems, most of the filming process becomes easier due to the abundance of key light in the natural lighting choice and the courts being new adding to the setting and Mise-en-Scene aspects of my film.

Blog Post #9 Social Media

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
