Production Blog - Struggles with finishing filming

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! It has been a super stressful week with the end of this project coming up. I want to make sure I included everything I would need to finalize this project so that is what I will be talking about today.

As for filming I only have to film 2 more scenes and we are completely done with filming and can officially move on to editing. The only problem with that is the fact that my school's homecoming dance is arriving shortly which makes it hard to plan our last day for filming. Another issue is Peyton, one of the main directors for this project is out of town the weekend I needed to get the last scenes completed. To deal with these issues, in class Peyton and I went over all the scenes that needed to be filmed. We had Mackena and Marissa on a facetime call. They can also be aware of how we want to get these scenes done. My friend Corey took this class last year, so he really helped Peyton and I get the right scenes to help finish the music video. Peyton was explaining how she wanted some of the scenes to be and in the beginning, I was quite confused. She thought of the great idea of just filming me as if I was Marissa. This really helped me understand what Peyton's Point of view was. After we all went over the scenes, Peyton made a word document and put a bunch of tips to help me film the scenes since I will be the only one who can film the scenes. 

Once Peyton and I finished this I just reassured to Marissa and Mackena about the plan. Since Peyton won't be here, I will have to film all by myself which is a scary because I don't want to mess anything up, but I know I can do it. I'm excited that we are almost done with the filming. We are one step closer to the end of the music video which is super exciting. The only thing after filming will be to finalize editing and then the music video is ready for the world to see! That's all I have to talk about today. Thank you for reading and I will see you in the next blog! BYE!

Production Blog: Final Scenes

Image
 Hey everyone welcome back to another blog! Today I will be talking about the final scenes my group and I filmed. We started right where we left off with Marissa and I about to play hide and seek. This is just a bunch of different scenes of Marissa looking for me. There was one scene that was difficult to film. Peyton couldn't get the right angle in the beginning. She filmed it a couple more times so now we have multiples scenes to work with when editing. The next few scenes were upstairs. There was one scene that was filmed in the twin's bathroom. It was supposed to look like Marissa was looking for me hiding in the shower. Peyton didn't feel super comfortable stepping into the twin's bathroom, so Mackena filmed this scene. The next scene we filmed upstairs was the scene of Marissa looking under a bed. We used Mackena's room for this since her room is right near the bathroom and it was cleaner than Marissa's room. We had to get the camera at the right angle to ...

Production Blog: Meeting up at Starbucks

 Hey everyone and welcome back to another production blog! Today I will be talking about how my group, and I met up at Starbucks to plan everything else for the film. We met up at this same location on the last project and it seemed to work very well for us. We decided to do this because trying to plan everything over text just wasn't working well. We went to Starbucks after a long day at school, but we needed to plan everything out. I love Starbucks so I got a coffee so that helped me stayed energized to get this done. Once everyone got their little snacks, we got ready to plan out our other filming days. Peyton even brought a planner to just write down all the days we could do so everyone was on the same page. When discussing days to film, either the end of the week or the weekend works best for me. I work on the weekends though so sometimes I have to schedule days off work. It is still so much better to film over the weekend then during the school week. It was getting a little s...

Research/Planning Blog

Hello and welcome back to my blogs. Today I began planning all my parts of my commercial. The first thing was decided on the images I was going to use for this project. The first thing I did was go back to my intro blog to have my pictures relate to that blog. I decided to have multiple pictures of my friends and I and my dogs especially! I had to pick a specific picture of my dogs where they are all in the same photo, which was difficult, but I found a perfect photo. I also went to google to find a really cute picture of a doctor because I really want to be a doctor. The videos were a little more difficult to decide on. When I went to go look for videos, I wanted to show my journey in M.M.A but I couldn't find any at first. I then went deeper into older pictures and videos and found the perfect video of me getting my black belt. I needed another video and I wanted to show my school life. Therefore, I decided to search for a video of me at school. I then found the perfect video tha...
