Production Blog: Rewriting the Script

 Hey everyone and welcome back!! Today I will be talking about the changes that were made in our script to better fit specific scenes.

Our original script didn't fit the scene we were filming. In this case it was the two-shot of Marissa and I talking on the couch. the original conversation didn't fit the timeline that we had set for the film. We just wanted to make the conversation more casual. We also wanted more time of dialogue. In the original script were only talking for like 20 seconds. After this scene we moved to a shot of just me sighing and saying I guess so. This sigh shows how much not being friends with Mackena really affected my mental health. At first, I wasn't sighing but by adding the sigh it adds to how I'm distressed over the situation Marissa took out the sentence "I have always had a bad feeling about her." Since their sisters in the film, it doesn't really make sense for her to say that so I'm glad she changed that part. So, we left the conversation off with Marissa saying, "She was never good to you anyway." This shows the audience that whatever happened between Riley and Mackena, Marissa is on Riley's side and not her sisters. We then went back to the original two - shot and finished this scene with Marissa saying, "let's play a game to get your mind off this" and I say, "let's play my all-time favorite, Hide and Go Seek." The main goal here for this dialogue is to in a way confuse the audience and create some suspense. Why is Marissa on Riley's side and not her sisters? Why are they playing such a childish game as teenagers? All these questions are something that the audience should be asking themselves when watching. We also want to show how I feel comfortable with Marissa and sharing information with her. By her asking about the situation proves that I have shared this private information with her in the past which creates a bond overall.

This was all of the dialogue we have edited so far, so I will see you guys in the next blog!!

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...
