Production Blog: Prep Day

 Hey everyone and welcome back to another blog! Today I will be discussing the process my group and I went through to get all of our supplies for filming day.

Marissa, Mackena, Peyton and I all met up after school to get some necessitates for filming. Our first few scenes of our final task consist of myself and Mackena as little girls. I originally had two little girls that we were going to use. They were my dad's best friend's daughters. They were the perfect age and everything but unfortunately, they were out of town the week we needed to film those scenes. So, we moved to the backup plan which was to just dress Mackena and I up as little girls. We needed some supplies for that though. We were mainly looking for bright, vibrant dresses. Just something that a a6 year old would wear but make it fit a 17-year-old girl. We also searched the Clearnce section for any girly jewelry we could find that fit the vibe. The twins had some of their old stuffed animals at their house from when they were younger so we could use those, Aswell. Once we finished our little trip at target we headed to part city. We needed supplies for the kidnapping scenes. The top three things we needed were fake blood, handcuffs, and a fake knife. I wanted these scenes to be super realistic, so getting things like the fake blood will really intensify those scenes. To make sure we followed our safety guidelines we decided to use the fake knife just to be safe. After we got all the supplies we went and had some lunch where we just went over everything one more time and discussed the best way for Mackena and I to look like little girls. So that's it for today's blog. Thanks for tuning in. See you in the next one.

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

Image
 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...
