Filming & editing: Just an Update

So for today we are discussing the details of everything going on so far for the film from my perspective. So as you know I am working with a group of girls and we created a pitch that basically is about two girl bestfriends and one of them dies from leukemia. This is a drama film made as a dystopian story. So we have just about everything we need as a group to move on to filming. However, we have really busy schedule's so we do have to do some date changes for filming which we have not yet started because were still prepping for everything.

We are all juniors therefore, we needed time to study for our SAT's. Of course we took that time to make sur we were able to get some studying in. everything has been as huge success so far. We do need to finish gathering the props we will be using and due to corona we will have my mother there as apart of our safety team. This means we do have to make accommodations for her work schedule. Everyone has mask and hand sanitizer for the times that we're are not filming and are handling other things behind the scenes.

We have not stared filming as of yet but we have been brainstorming ideas as seen in our storyboard. We also have not had to make any location changes as of yet seeing as the weather has been playing nice with us. But, I am working on get a reservation for indoor spacing; just in case we have some of these technical difficulties on our filming days unexpectedly. After realizing we made some mistakes in our storyboard we went back to fix things and adjust our scripts a little. It was a little overwhelming but as a group we were able to effectively breakdown the work so that everyone is doing their fair share of work.

I made some actor changes when typing up the storyboard and informed the girls on my team. I am still waiting on their okay to approve this change as team. I added a new character name Faith she will be playing the role of Kim's cousin. She is a minor part in this movie but she in key to Kim's survival in a way that she s completely clueless of. The next move for us is to work on our music choices and find out what permissions we need to finalize the things we want to do for our film. This is going to be a great film opening.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background. It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

So today I started my music video project I have officially decided on whether or not I wanted to work with anyone and who I would be working with. I had a hard time since I get nervous working in group especially when I don’t know anyone really. However I managed to find a group. I decided to work with three other girls. Rohanna, Nishayla, and Idline. I knew them since middle school and got lucky when I found out we all had the same class so I was able to successfully see to it that I got a comfortable group to efficiently get the work done. I choose to actually work in a group rather than by myself because I know me doing it alone would be very overwhelming. I have been struggling lately and falling behind on a lot. So having someone around to keep me motivated and help give me ideas on how to participate daily and move to be productive in my work was an essential part in making sure I progress in this class. US History is a hassle with all the hand written work the teache...
