ccr research 1

• How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

We wanted our characters to feel like genuine individuals in terms of representation. Because we decided to create a film combining both mystery and drama, we pulled many conventions from both genres without initially being aware we were doing so. In mystery films it seems that something usually goes wrong straight away and the audience must then work out what it is. We carried this out within our film with Dr Mueller's interview; as he states that his drug is deadly, this immediately sets the mystery tone. The audience knows that something is wrong, but at this point in time we do not know fully what this is.

In drama we incorporated slow zooms, serious tones and stillness so as to build tension. Drama films seem to have moments that feel substantial and we tried to convey this with lighting and the steady gaze of Dr Mueller; this helps build intensity and we thought that this suited the genre. Our change from convention takes place within the nature of the main character, Maverick; most drama films include a protagonist who has a dramatic background and a deep emotional history.

In our case, Maverick is merely an average individual with a regular history, no traumatic background and no underlying issue. We decided that Maverick would have an ordinary background because we want the focus of our story to be the problem and not necessarily Maverick; this therefore also fits into the aspect of mystery where you want the audience to focus on the issue at hand. We have also broken a mystery convention by not incorporating a 'mentor' figure. This is where the main character is aided in solving a mystery; here however Dr Mueller has no longer a reason to help Maverick and has taken his own life meaning that Maverick is to solve the problem alone and raises the stakes.

we wanted all of our characters to feel like real people. Maverick portrays a standard person, one who will rise to the occasion when needed. Maverick would then be able to relate to, and an audience may be able to feel sympathy towards such a character. Dr Mueller portrays the struggle and pressures facing scientists, and that one mistake will make millions suffer, we chose not to make Dr Mueller a 'bad' character but rather a person who has made one mistake and is unable to deal with the consequences. The interviewer portrays an everyday person who has a professional outlook towards the interview.

tomorrow I will explain what the process for answering the question will be like. 

editing post lighting

intro

 I was put in charge of the editing for lighting on i movie today i will be walking you guy through the process.

lighting 

In the studio before we even edited we used this big globe looking light, and the light from the studio.

                                                         This is similar to the light we used

editing the lighting

During editing today I noticed something about the lighting in our interview scene. It really changes the whole mood I think. We shot everything on the white side of the studio so it was pretty bright from the start. But when I started piecing the clips together brightness had to stay the same across shots or else it looked weird.

If one angle came out a little darker the cut just felt off somehow. So picking the right clips was a big deal. Especially for that part right before Dr. Muellers announcement. I stuck with shots where the light hit his face straight on. That made him seem tense and kind of exposed.

The slow zoom going in with that lighting it weighs the scene down makes it more serious. Then towards the end I dialed the brightness back some to let the silence hang there uncomfortably. It sort of matches how the reveal comes out.

The lighting did more than keep things looking clean I guess. It pulled the emotion along and ramped up the intensity of the announcement. Some might not notice that right away but it stands out once you see it.

Production post day 2

Day 2

Today will be the day we film the scene where doctor muller breaks the news two the word that his medicine is deadly, we will be filming on location at the podcast studio.

Today's filming went smooth we got all the shots that we wanted to get done with and know we only have one day left for filming at Santis house with Jalin's dad.

Bad news

Jalin got the flu and he's been out for many days now, but his work is not going unnoticed he's been helping Santi edit and polishing the opening for us. But we have to wait for him to get better before we can film with him.

filming process

We started off getting situated we found where we wanted to film, we introduced the parents and ready to work. We settled on the couch area and started with the mise-en-scene toying around with the set till we found the perfect fit. Then we pulled up the script and let the actors try to memorize their line we did a few worm up shot, and we stated actually filming this took a lot longer than expected over an hour, because our teacher always says over shot.

Santi and my dad looking over the script.

reflection

Overall, we did well today in the next blog i will be going in depth into ever shot and how it went

 

shots

The first shot we filmed was the two persons medium shot it was simple and good.  

Then we film the one behind the camera.

 This is the inspo. for the second shot.

production day 1 part 2

 Hi blog welcome back to my post on my production day1 (part 2)

glove scene

Last scene we filmed (fist from for the film opening), the glove scene, this one to me was a cool shot didn't take to many tries and was quite simple we put on a glove and just filmed the shadow. We purposely used the rule of thirds for the.

                                

      mise- en- scene

What we did for the actual set was simple but affective. We put a YouTube video in the background; we were trying to make it look like a science lab. One of the videos was playing some types of moving organisms under a microscope and the other video had like moving number. We got some of Santis medicine and scattered it around, so it looked like a messy environment the lighting was also strategic we used dark lighting to illustrate that the man in the lab was alone. I use the word a man in the lab because this is a mystery after all. Ok back on topic the man was doing this with no supervision, for the most parts labs a well lite and organized.

 

reflection on day 1

That was a complete run down of film day 1 thanks so much for stopping by.

production day 1

Hey, blog welcome back

supplies 

 Today was a great day for filming, it was the first day we started by getting lunch and straight to the store to get all the supplies for the day. We got food coloring,viniger,backing soda and like glycerin. The glycerin did not really work but that ok. It was fun getting everything ready and we were already brainstorming in the car.

Getting started

After we got all the supplies we went to Santis house and got started on getting everting ready, like where we were going to film and testing the reaction of the backing soda with the vinegar like the correct amount and stuff. One thing I suggest was not to dilute the substance, they were adding water and I knew that was altering the reaction. But we ended up getting everting right at the end.

Actually filming

We agreed to film on Santis desk, at the started Jalin wanted to be the one with the gloves, but I ended up takin that roll so he could do the poring of the substance. We tried many different thing I mean everything you could imagine we did many shots, so many takes, to the point where we ran out of vinegar, and we had to use apple cider vinegar, and it smelt horrible and it somehow also worked better, but we had a good laugh. We thought a tracking shot worked best this scene, the red food coloring in the medicine was just supposed to impel that something went wrong in the experiment. Also, this is the second scene, so we are going to be putting the credits on this scene. The second shot we did was a close up of the vinegar reacting (third scene).

                               

glove scene

Last scene we filmed (fist from for the film opening), the glove scene this one to me was a cool shot didn't take to many tries and was quite simple we put on a glove and just filmed the shadow. We purposely used the rule of third's for the credits.

overall I am very proud of today's filming and next week we will be done with the actual interview. 

Character background

 
                              

Maverick

Maverick is the type of guy who came from nothing and built himself up. He has a strong presence and people notice him without him even trying. He has been through a lot, so he is tougher than most and does not get scared easily. He carries himself with confidence and has that aura that makes you pay attention. That is why his reaction in the film matters. If someone like him is thrown off, then the situation must be serious.

Dr. Mueller

Dr. Mueller is the scientist behind the medicine. He’s respected, smart, and known for his work, but he carries a lot of pressure. His background is filled with long hours and high expectations, which makes his mistake even heavier. He isn’t a villain he’s someone who messed up in a massive way and can’t escape the guilt. His mysterious personality adds tension to the story.

The interviewer

The interviewer is the steady voice in the opening. He’s professional, calm and used to handling serious topics. His background isn’t dramatic. He represents the public asking the questions everyone else would ask and reacting to the news in a controlled way. He helps guide the scene and keeps everything grounded. He comes from a nice family, and he went to college nothing crazy.

company logo

 Production Logo

making our production logo was actually pretty easy. it only took around 20 minutes since canva is simple to use, and we were all on the same page the whole time. we liked how clean it came out, nothing too crazy, just something that fits us.

our production name is SSJ Entertainment, which is just our initials: Santi, Sam and Jalin. we thought about calling it Weston bros since our school is in Weston Florida, but it sounded kind of corny, so we decided it. SSJ just felt better and more like us.

for the logo, the popcorn on the sides and the camera in the middle match the whole film and production thing we’re doing. I came up with the popcorn idea, and everyone liked it, so we kept it. since Santis the oldest in the group, we put “since 2008.” the blue was just because it looked good, nothing deep behind it.

I also used Videoblolt to help come up with the idea for how the animation should look, and then me or Santi are the ones that are going to make the video. I like this app because its free and it also looks very professional.

​Sign up

we tried recording the whole process, but the screen recording didn’t save right. our teacher knows about it, but the video we do have isn’t the best quality, but it still shows what we did.

overall, we’re happy with how the logo came out, and the video of the process is below.

focusing on audio

 What’s up blog, Sam here. A lot of people do not realize how much audio affects a scene, but it can completely change the mood. Since our project leans into mystery and tension, we want the sound to feel real, and emotional.

How We’re Using Sound

The film starts with Maverick watching the podcast where Dr. Mueller is about to reveal the big news. The audio here is going to sound like it is coming from an actual device in the room, not like a clean studio recording. That helps the audience feel like they are in Maverick’s pov. Once the film transitions into the real show, the sound becomes clearer and more professional to show the shift. We are also adding a short clapping sound when the host introduces the show. It makes the broadcast feel real, having a real audience. When Dr. Mueller reveals the truth about the medicine; everything cuts to silence for a second or two. Silence is uncomfortable on purpose, and it makes the moment hit harder.

Character Reactions and Tension

 After the silence, we cut back to Maverick. His breathing, his voice and the way he talks to himself are meant to feel personal, like the audience is inside his head. Then we cut back to the show one last time with intense breaking news style music. It comes in fast and loud to show how crazy the situation is. when the show reveals that Dr. Mueller is suddenly gone, the sound helps make the moment even darker and shocking.

Foley and Original Sounds 

For the typing scene, we are not downloading a sound effect. We are recording it ourselves. Foley is when filmmakers create their own sound effects using real objects because you can really get what you want. and it makes everything feel more natural. Even something simple like typing sounds better when it is recorded in the actual space. Doing our own Foley also makes the project more fun and gives us more control.

reflection

Overall, this is a good blueprint about what we are going to be doing with the sound, and thanks for stopping by.

mise-en-scene lighting and setting

 setting

The opening takes place in the podcast studio, that already has a clean and professional look. The equipment in the back and the layout of the room make the interview feel serious, like something you would actually see online. The other scenes happen in regular home spaces like kitchens and living rooms. These spots make the reactions feel real because the women are just going about their day when they hear the news. The mix of the studio and the everyday home settings helps show how far the announcement reaches.

lighting

The lighting in the studio starts off bright and calm while the doctor is talking normally. Once he starts admitting what happened, the light gets a little tighter on him, so the moment feels heavier. The shots of the women use simple natural lighting from windows or whatever lights are already in the room. It keeps everything looking normal until the news hits. The difference between the clean studio lighting and the softer home lighting helps build the shift from a regular interview to something way more intense.

focusing on mise-en-scene props and costume design

 costume design

All three of us sat down and talked through how each character should look. We wanted the outfits to match their personalities and the roles they play in the story. For the doctor, we agreed he should not be in a full medical uniform since the scene takes place in a podcast studio. Instead, we are giving him a semi formal look. He will be wearing a collared shirt with a quarter zip over it. It makes him look smart and put together without being too serious. We are still deciding between pants or jeans, and the shoes are not locked in yet.

The interviewer’s outfit is more formal. We wanted him to look respectful and prepared, especially since the doctor invited him onto the podcast. He will be wearing a dress shirt, tailored pants, and dress shoes. Accessories will be kept simple, probably just a watch.

Maverick’s costume took the most discussion between me, Jalin, and Santi. We ended up choosing jeans and a leather jacket because it fits the type of character he is. It gives him that rugged, mission focused look you see in other films with similar protagonists. It shows he is serious and has something important pushing him. We are also giving him glasses to highlight his nerdy side.

props

Most characters will not have many props. The doctor and interviewer might have a pen and paper to help them explain things, but that is basically it. Maverick has a couple of props that matter. His main one is his computer, which is literally the same one I am typing this on right now. We thought it fit perfectly because the stickers and overall look match his nerdy personality. You will see why it is important later, and I will add a picture at the bottom. We are also giving him energy drinks to show how little sleep he is getting while working under a tight deadline.

character development

Character Development

Hey, blog welcome back.

Maverick is the main character in our film, and his name fits the role perfectly. A maverick is someone who does things differently, which is why we chose it for him (Merriam‑Webster). After taking a medicine that ends up having dangerous side effects, he learns he only has 48 hours left. Even though he doesn’t know much about medicine, he has to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. He is not just trying to save himself but everyone else who took the same medicine. This puts him under a lot of pressure and forces him to rely on quick thinking, research, and whatever experiments he can manage on his own.

His appearance helps show the audience what kind of character he is. Maverick wears jeans and a leather jacket because this type of costume is often used in films to show toughness and determination. The glasses add a nerdy side to him, which makes sense because he spends a lot of time researching and trying to understand the medicine. Throughout the film, he deals with equipment that he is not fully trained to use, which leads to mistakes and small accidents. These moments help show how desperate the situation is and how hard he is trying to fix something he was never prepared for.

His props also help build his personality. His laptop, covered in stickers, shows that he is creative and spends a lot of time researching. The energy drinks show how little sleep he is getting and how intense the situation has become. All of these details work together to make Maverick feel like a real person who is trying to survive something overwhelming.

Overall, Maverick is meant to be seen as determined, stressed, and pushed to his limits. His clothes, props, and actions help the audience understand who he is and what he is going through as he tries to solve the crisis before time runs out.

media theory

what is this media theory

Barthes Enigma Codes is really just about how stories grab you with unanswered questions. A movie or show tosses out a strange clue or something unexpected and now you're wondering wait, what's going on. It's not very complicated it's just how suspense works. You don’t get all the answers up front, so your mind sticks around, trying to piece things together. 

media theory in my project

 I chose Barthes enigma codes for this project. It's about how stories create mystery by leaving questions hanging, not answering them too soon. That way, people stay hooked, trying to piece things together. And overall makes things more interesting and engages the viewer. 

Our film opening has a big uncertain part right at the start, Dr. Mueller comes on the podcast and says his new medicine is actually dangerous/deadly, that everyone who's taken it only has 48 hours to live. It hits the audience with all these unanswered questions like is he serious, what exactly went wrong, and now what for the people hearing this. I think that builds the tension we need. The quick cuts to the moms freaking out make it even more mysterious because they are the ones how are on the drug/medicine. We see their reactions, the panic, but not the whole picture. It seems like that adds to the confusion without explaining much.

Enigma codes fit because we don't have a ton of action or effects, just talk and faces and music. The mystery drives everything. I want viewers to feel that same shock as the characters did, kind of lost in the questions. This part gets a bit messy in my head but yeah, the unanswered stuff is what pulls them in. Maybe it works best that way. And this would be the one I add because I like the idea, but we are still in pre-production.

project idea and major inspiration

figuring out what we were going to do.

 This script comes after a lot of trial error; first the idea I came up with was confusing it was inspired on sorry wrong number I mentioned this in a previous blog we know we wanted to do something with drama or mystery after we got an idea about a famous doctor giving medication two a famous person and then a murder comes in the room and puts some drugs in the meds laces it. the rest of the film would be trying to figure out how the murders is. and that's before we got tis solid idea.

project idea

Our ideas for this project really just came from what we have, trying to avoid those annoying filming issues from before. So we're sticking with locations like houses and that studio my Santis dad and his friend own. It's perfect because he's into sports journalism and does podcasts there, so the setup already feels professional for our story.

The main concept is still a doctor stuck in this awkward spot. We start with him getting interviewed in the studio, and right away you see he's got this good reputation, he's a big deal in his field. Then he drops the bomb that the new drug he put out is actually dangerous, something messed up during development. He says sorry, explains people who took it only have 48 hours. He's all broken up about it while talking. To make it hit harder, we'll cut away to these middle-aged women tuning in, maybe one working out or cooking dinner, another even popping the pill as he's confessing everything. They look totally stunned I think that part will work if we don't rush it. We might put in a quick voicemail from one, like saying goodbye to family or something, but I'm not sure yet.

For the medicine part, we'll fake the production visuals with a basic reaction, maybe mixing stuff with water to look dramatic. I plan to run it by my chemistry teacher for tips, could be fun. Dialogue stays short around 150 words, and we'll layer in some free music to ramp up the tension without any hassle.

Santis dad is probably taking the doctor role, seems natural for him. for the woman We'll grab our group moms and a few friends, easy enough. I'm on editing, Jalin and me got costumes and camera stuff covered. One of Santis friend's mom is actually a real doctor, so borrowing a coat shouldn't be a problem if we need that authentic touch.

Today we're drafting the script in class, which should nail down the details. I am excited to get my teacher's take; any suggestions would help.

Honestly, with everything coming together, I want to jump into production right away. Excited doesn't even cover it. I really think we can make this good putting in max effort. Like, I've always figured hard work wins me and Santi agree on that, and yea I think it's going to be fun.

Reflection post about group meeting #1

 intro

today we had a group meeting with all the different groups, and we talked about how our portfolio projects are going and the ideas everyone has. we also talked about any small improvements or tweaks people want to make, and honestly it was good to hear what everyone else is doing and kind of get inspo from it.

Christian he’s doing a thriller about 4 friends and 3 of them get caught in a trance after seeing some portal thing and the 4th friend finds them but the other 3 close the bag after seeing the portal. it's like a mystery vibe. I am not going to lie Chris is my friend, but I found his project a little confusing and i gave him some constrictive criticism.

Trisha hers is a paranormal thriller and it starts with a girl on a call and a bunch of weird stuff is happening with technology. like her ring camera says someone is there but no one is. she leaves to go to her friend's house because she’s freaked out and she’s going to edit in the notifications to show the weird things happening. I want to say Trisha did a very good job in this meeting contributing and helping out, giving good ideas to everyone.

Avery hers is like a thriller or drama in a normal high school. she’s a cheerleader and there’s no romance but she’s actually a drug dealer and the basketball player is the one she sells to. they’re both the opposite of what people expect. she’s using the cheer outfit for costume mise-en-scene.

Ethan he’s doing a sci fi stop motion animation with an astronaut on a rocket and it gets destroyed. his second idea is also on a rocket, but its harder to produce we had a good conversation with him about what's the best option for him and he ended up going with the first one. his problem is he needs multiple sets and the lighting will have to change. he’s using stick bots and said filming might take like 2 weeks.

Meliyah she’s doing a psychological thriller about a girl talking to her sister, but the sister is actually dead and she doesn’t believe it. she said she might change it more into a drama. We also helped Meliyah tweak something in her project for the better helping her chose how to edit the deid sister.

Selena

she’s doing a thriller, but she doesn’t know what supernatural creature she wants yet. leaning more into horror and she’s going to use music to build the mood. But overall, she doesn't have a concrete idea set almost like me at the time of the meeting.

Sonakshi hers is about overwhelming feelings and using diegetic sounds She is still also brainstorming but she wants to do something with that.

refection

this group meeting was important because it helped us see where everyone is at with their projects. I liked it because I got to help my classmates with their ideas and everyone had really good concepts. It gave me more motivation and inspo for my own project too.

script

intro

This is going to be the script for the portfolio project 2-minute fill opening.

Interviewer: Welcome to the Daily Updates Show. I am your host David Litman and I am thrilled to have the highly distinguished clinician and researcher Doctor Mueller.

(Claps in background)

Mueller: Thank you so much for having me here today. It is an honor to be on the big stage.

Interviewer: Well, let's get started. As many of you know, Dr. Mueller requested to be here today.

Mueller: Yes, I did, and the reason for that is a big announcement regarding my newest medicine released just 3 days ago. All 2 million of you who bought it will likely want to hear this...i know after announcing this many consequences will come that will derail the rest of my life.

Mueller: With that being said...You all have 48 hours to live.

Patient: WHAT?!

Interviewer: Laughs sarcastically* Ok let's get serious now

Mueller: I am being serious... I’m so sorry, I will work endlessly to find a cure ASAP.

Patient: This mother fuu

Interviewer: 5 hours later* I know nobody was expecting me to be back so soon but I must inform everybody doctor Mueller is no longer with us. He took his own life moments after his announcement.

reflection

Overall, I like this script I feel like it fits the mystery/drama very well am excited to executed in the actual film, every day we get closer to filming.

Research blog on post of your choice

research post

For this research post I looked at another student’s blog about credit scenes and how they planned theirs. I still don't have a sold idea about what me and my group will do with the credit scenes but hopefully researching there can help. Their idea was putting the credits on random things inside a car which I thought was kind of smart and unique because it doesn’t pull your eyes away. Before they did it they looked at a couple movies to see how credits can match the vibe of a film, so I went through their blog to see what they were talking about.

One movie they used was Fahrenheit 451 (1966). The credits aren’t even on the screen; they just say them out loud. It sounds weird but they say it fits the no reading allowed thing in the movie. So even the audience isn’t reading. It shows how credits can be part of the world instead of just names. I liked that it was interesting.

They also talked about Raging Bull (1980). The credits are super plain, just white text, but the shot behind it is what makes it good. It’s the boxer warming up alone and the lighting makes him look kinda trapped. The blog explained that it doesn't distract them from the shot and that the shot sets the whole mood. It made sense when I read it.

After reading their blog I get what they were trying to do. They want their credits to feel natural like Raging Bull but also kind creative like Fahrenheit 451. Putting the credits on trash and objects in the car actually fits. It doesn’t feel random after seeing the examples they used.

reflection

Overall, this helped me see how other students think about credit scenes and how the opening titles can change the whole vibe of a film. It also connects to my own project since I want my credits to match the mystery tone and not feel out of place or boring the goal for me is to build suspense keep it so you can build on the opening and last make it fun and creative.
