Production Blog: Trouble with startup

 Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today I will be talking about the struggles my group and I have had with beginning production.

 Our goal was to start the week after we finished our storyboard, but life had other plans. This past week I missed 3 days of school due to a bad cold I caught. This set us back about a week since I am the main actor in the film. I was really stressed with school and especially this project. I was worried that we were going to fall behind. Peyton was also sick this past weekend and she is our team's director, so we were not able to film over the weekend too. Since then, our group sat down together in hopes to revise the schedule. After revising the schedule, we were able to get everything back on track. Making the schedule was really beneficial for me. It helps me know what needs to get done every week. It makes sure my group and I won't fall behind. We did have to edit some dates, so now we have to film some days after school. This is works for me though because I have transportation to and from our locations. I just have to make sure I plan my time wisely. I have to keep track of all my other activities as well as the production of this movie.

I'm really excited to finally start filming! I hope life doesn't have any more obstacles and we can get started. See you 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

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...
