Production Blog: Busy Bee's

So again my groupmates and I have not begun to film. However plans to film this weekend coming or during spring break even became an option for us. Idline has been busy with work. I have no transportation. Rohanna has not received her schedule for the week to come and Nishayla has her practice days. I have put all my sports and extra curriculars on pause.

I have been overwhelmed and tired lately. School alone is really taking a huge part in this but its okay because everything for this part of school is going well. Nothing has changed once more everything is still the same. We are just waiting for everyone to get settled and adjust to things again. Since changes are being made and things are just happening everywhere the main priority right now is to just make sure that we all stay safe and protected so that we actually can complete this project.

There isn't much to discuss but with all the things happening in our daily lives things definitely aren't boring. Its all actually really chaotic but its manageable. As long as we keep pushing and get to finalizing these dates all should be well. The group tried this weekend but I just had a accident with my car and I wouldn't be able to drive since my car is acting up. I would need to take a lyft or uber wherever we are located.

Luckily the place isn't to far when traveling by car. Now the only concern for me is time. I have communicated to the girls that I will be paying for a ride so the timing is everything in these moments for me. Therefore, I asked the girls to let me know at least 24 hours before we are scheduled to go. This provides convenience for me seeing as the pricing maybe be lower if I can schedule the ride in advance and give the times that I need the ride as well.

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, ...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war. In the character development you could see that 9 was alert and nervous yet curious to find out whats going on and what he can do to survive. The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
