Production Blog: Rainy days

 Hey everyone and welcome back to another blog!! Today I will be talking about how the weather has prevented us from filming specific scenes. 

The main goal that my group and I had when going to film was to get as much done in one day as we can since it's kind of challenging to get everyone in the same area. this sadly did not go as planned. The day we planned to finally start filming was the day it decided to pour out. None the less we had to start filming no matter what or we wouldn't meet our deadlines. The rain was so bad that it took me 45 minutes to get to Mackena and Marissa's when on a normal day it only takes me about 15 to 20 minutes. Once I got there, we waited for Peyton since she lives even further away than I do. Once she finally got there, we began filming just the inside scenes so we could still get some production done for that day. So, for the rest of the day, we just filmed the children's scenes that were filmed inside. These scenes were actually quite fun to do. Mackena and I were finally able to dress up as little girls. We put our hair into little pig tails to make us look a little younger. we also added some bright jewelry to really represent were younger girls in these scenes. So, for the first scene inside we showed Mackena and I playing hide and seek which will connect to one of the scenes later on in the film. This scene was pretty easy to film. We filmed a couple times just to have a couple different scenes to work with. The next scene we filmed was upstairs. It was the scene of me braiding Mackena's hair. This scene was a little trickier only because we couldn't get the right lighting at first. We did a couple different takes for that scene as well with the different lighting to also have more to work with when editing. After these scenes we had Peyton film this one scene of some picture frames of young Mackena and Marissa, that we will be able to edit to make it look like me and Mackena later on. This was all we were able to film today because I needed to get back home before it started raining. Anyway, I will see you guys 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

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

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...
