Momina's Blog(A2)

 As I was assigned with the task of creating and designing the social media page, I gathered inspiration from other artist's social media page and then I finally created the social media page. As of now I only posted 3 posts to introduce the artist, However we are working on a couple of teasers and posters for the page. Furthermore I am also working on some merch to post on social media. I was especially inspired by Blackpink's grid posting where they post a picture in 6 bits.

 So I created multiple logos of Cave town on Canva. Firstly, me and the group decided on the theme of Cave town which was dull brown colors and then searched through templates as well as taking inspo from google. I came up wit he the logos and shared them with the group and we all chose one. The logos i created were: We ended up going with the last logo, this was decide through discussion and everyone agreed that this looked the best and fit the theme well.

 We compiled the shots and decided the sequence by a meeting on a video call.

 On the 3rd day we used the projector in our school lab to take some mid shots of the actor to visualize the different feelings he is going through.

 Our second location was Joyland, an amusement park. Here we had to shoot some flashbacks and couple shots as well as some solo shots of the artist. This was an amazing location because it gave us a lot of margins to add details to the plotline and shoot some interesting shoots. For instance on Ferris wheel, on teacups portraying the couple's good memories together. I will be inserting some pictures and Bts clips: (1): https://lh3.google.com/u/0/d/1_99xe4c3wWWfhSdKglXfKTd5QDLssfAH=w402-h300-p-k-nu-iv (2):  https://lh3.google.com/u/0/d/1hFb22NKtnita_vwPW5sCMqQqbDbpkmN4=w402-h300-p-k-nu-iv1  (3):  https://lh3.google.com/u/0/d/1N5UkPtJqfYbfxeDeaaHdZqqN8hUeAZQh=w402-h300-p-k-nu-iv                                                   

 The first location went smoothly, except some problems with the lighting. So we wanted to take some lip sync performance shot of the artist with some dramatic spotlight kind of lighting, so we arranged a sunset lamp so we can shoot in different colors of light according to the mood. However, the sunset lamp took away the attention from the artist and his facial expressions were not clear in the light so to tackle the problem we used a different yellow light on the artists face and used sunset lamp too this worked well as the shot came out clear and the dramatic affect was also achieved. As we were about to leave for our second location it started raining really heavily, We decided to visit the location to see that if it was still possible to shoot. The rain eventually slowed down and then stopped when we reached there and the weather was still pleasant enough to shoot so we ended up shooting on the same day. Another problem we encountered was that in the shot the actors were sitti...

 The first shoot day, we decided to shoot in our second location  is the Japanese gardens which is also where our music video starts. we chose to shoot on the sme day as the shoot was outdoor. The weather on the day was cool and a little cloudy which was perfect for our music video. we got to the location at around 3 in the evening. We had around 5-6 shots which we had to shoot here. Most of the shots were the couple shots. The shoot went smooth and the park was not that busy so that was a plus. it took us about 2 and a half hour until we were done. We had no major issues while shooting. Some of the bts: (1):  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g0f5yBHTBQl1jkNNKavvfsThRJItTjad/view?usp=drive_link

 Our first location of the day was our schools auditorium this was because this was mainly lip sync shots which we wanted to take in front of a white wall in the dark with sunset lamp or spotlight hence the auditorium was fitting, in addition we took some shots of the couple fighting in the school balcony too and then took some pictures of the actor for digipak. Total shots we had to take were 4 performance shots of the artist and 1 shot of the artist and the love interest arguing plus we also ended up taking some extra shots as fillers just in case for instance standing on balcony of the school and looking down etc. We were able to do them in a span of an hour and a half . We used sunset lamp and a yellow light on the subject for the lip sync shots. I took different shots including mid shot, mid closeup, close up and big close up shots of the actor.

 Before shooting we tested all the lights to see if we could achieve the desired effects from them. Following are some of the pictures of light test on one of my friends Zuha:
