The (re)search is over

Welcome back.

To learn how to do something you must see it first. So here we are. We look at 3 different videos, so let's get into it.

WUSYANAME by Tyler, The Creator:

The music video opens with an establishing shot of a blue car, with suitcases on the top, driving down a road towards mountains in the distance. From this shot it moves to a bird's eye view on the car to a wide shot of the same. The wide shot is then cut into a close of the back windshield and the suitcases.  The Actor (Tyler) was wearing an outfit that fit perfectly with the setting. All other background actor were in a similar style, though he was the only one in a hat. A female lead actor was introduced as Tyler was trying to talk to her as shown through a close up and two shot, cutting between the two. This continues until there is a close up on the dish is her hand as she is walking away from him. She then sits at a table with another man in a two shot, the two bring the only ones in all gray. It then freezes and text appear saying 'call me if you get lost' with colorful stars bordering it. Ending the music video.

3005 by Childish Gambino:

The establishing shot is slightly blur from view, then it pans to the ferris-wheel's carts. The actor (Gambino) is shown in a similar outfit to the teddy bear he his co-starring with, shown with a two shot. The actor is lip-syncing the lyrics to the song. The shot changes a close up and flows into a extreme close up, panning the camera slightly while the lights dim.  The camera pans more until it returns to the two shot, the lights dim and brighten. As the lights dim the camera goes into a close up and extreme close up again on the actor. All the while the bear goes from moving and being still. Panning again, the lights are getting dimer until they completely go out. The background is shown on fire as the camera continues to pan and it returns to the cart, where the bear is shown charred and alone in a medium close up. Then it fades to black with the song still playing until the video returns with a wide shot of the carnival. 

SEE YOU AGAIN ft Kali Uchis by Tyler,  The Creator :

The video opens with a wide shot to a medium close up to a close up, actors in all white with white background. A cut to black to a split screen with a medium close up. Another fade to a wide shot then close up. Fades to black once again to a medium close up to a wide shot to an extreme long shot,  showing the setting of the submarine. The extreme long shot was more into a long shot of a new person, in a boat, wearing yellow. It fades to black returning in a different setting. The actor from earlier is seen in white while background actors were in red and white. He is seen walking in a different direction from the background actors, a close up shot. Then he is seen in dim lighting, a quarter of his face lit, in all black with a trumpet player in a two shot. Then to a high angle were he is seen walking on the others. A tracking shot is used to change location into a low angle. The low angle then turns into a wide shot, where a new setting is introduced another tracking shot is used. A prop of a tire set swings in the background. Then it's a close of on Tyler as a ghost turning to bees, which covers the camera fading to black. 



Well that all I have for you today. I see y'all on the next one.

Sincerely,

Intro blog; All about me

Welcome Gems to the story of my life.  My name is Makenna Jewels Ricks born on December 20th 2007 making me a Sagittarius. I grew up with my two younger sisters and two older brothers. And my favorite color is pink.  Now that the introduction is out of the way let's get into it. From a very young age I have always loved to read, a trait I still posses. The feel of paper in my hands is an unbeatable feeling.  It has always been amazing how some can create such a complex world with only ink, paper and their imagination.  Emotional transportation to anywhere or any time I like. The Book Thief, Six of Crows and Legendborn really created this transportation for me. Baking is a passion of mine. It's like sharing in the art of creation, with sugar, spice and all that. My favorite personal recipe has to be my mini apple pies, that's all I can say about them (trademark pending). But y'know what beats baking desserts? Eating desserts, chocolate chip cookies, cake with but...

Production: Filming; The Man in the Mirror (maze)

Hey Gems. Welcome back as promised here is the blog were I felt everything went wrong. But we'll get into that. This blog is not A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind, because I wouldn't have done that, rather a look into someone else's mind. Let's just get into this.  First how do you work at a fair and have the most unapproachable attitude I have ever seen in my whole 16 years of living. Like if you don't like people don't work at fair. Like hello. So as y’all know the mirror maze was a major part of our film. Yes I’m using past tense because that dream came crashing down real quick. So. we mostly filmed in order of the scenes. We beforehand asked each ride or game attendee can we film. When we asked Mr. Attitude’s response was “no, how many?” Then when we were trying to explain the situation to him he just scanned the game-card and told us to go in. However we were what for it to clear so we could get a good take. He doesn’t care at all.  Now that we had captured the ...

Production; And We Have a Winner

Hey Gems. It's that time again. Season finale of A Glimpse in my  Chaotic  Mind. And today is all about the finishing touch and the final product. I know it's bitter sweet but let's put those feelings aside.  So as you know the film was reviewed by a peer (for more on that check that blog). This installment is about all the changes and mishaps that occurred. L et's get into this. So first let's address the elephant in the room. Well y'all wouldn't know this but the movie was over its run time. Which the reviewer and the group pointed out. Now there is deleted scenes which is always my favorite, maybe I can share that with all but first permission from Patrisha. Deciding which scene would be cut wasn't that hard. The problem was would the story make sense if this part is taken away. And if I'm being honest this all spiraled from the mirror maze incident. But even with the scene being deleted the story still followed a linear path.  So y'all rememb...
