Production Blog: Failing to film day one

 Hey bloggers and welcome back. Today I will be discussing the problems my group and I had with beginning filming.

Since I got over my cold, as well as Peyton we planned a day to begin filming. Unfortunately, this did not go as planned. None of really wanted to film during the week because that meant we had to go to school all day and film after. We did this in our last film production and personally for me, I felt I would have done better if we just had all day to film. So that's what we decided to, which was film over the weekend. Since this was a sudden change for the group, neither Marissa nor I could take off work. I work at Publix as a cashier so it's much harder for me to call out since I'm more needed. Luckily though I wasn't alone in the group. Marissa just recently got her to job so it won't look good for her to already begin calling out. She also works over an hour away from the filming location. So therefore, we made the decision that no one was thrilled about and decided to film on a day after school. Marissa does have work Tuesdays and Thursdays, the rest of us in the group also had family events to attend Aswell as after school clubs. therefore, we decided to film on that Monday. This way I'm not missing work, and neither is Marissa. My main goal with this project despite the initial troubles it came with, is it to better then our last. I personally think we have a great idea that if we could put into production the right way it will come out amazingly. Overall, I'm really excited and determined to get this project finished with time to spare. I will see you all very soon.

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

Image
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...
