Production Blog: Editing Day 1

Today was the first day of editing. This is when we decided that Rohanna was going to be our editor. We made sure to give her all the tools needed and provide her with any assistance she may have needed. Due to her working we knew she wouldn’t be able to finish the entire thing in a day. That was the original plan.

We all got to take time and make sure that all our other parts of the project were done correctly. Now we are just awaiting our finally product. We got the permissions we needed for the music and songs. Sounds we used will be voiced over if needed. We prepared all the editing features we wanted to use that didn’t already come with the editing software.

Yes we choose to use it and it works wonderfully but sometimes a little extra was needed for a third party to achieve the goal we wanted. It was a long process but there were questions and answers to everything that was asked. No one was left out and no one was left behind. We all managed to get through and keep up with everything else that was going on for the final touches of the project. Rohanna, Idline and Nishayla make great partners.

When mistakes are made our way on dealing with the situations we’re handled with maturity leaving us all stress free and diligently working to succeed on this task at hand. We assured Rohanna that if it was to much that we could always help her edit and we hadn’t heard from her since she began the editing process. Seems she was really focused and ready to work.

Planning: Storyboard "Dear Mother"

A dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship is the subject of our short film. The first shot of the first scene is of the outside of a house, which sets the tone for Roxy and Ms. Jackie's home. The shot then moves on to the interior of the house. Roxy is shouted at by her mother about housework in the next scene, which is more focused on the performers' relationships. There is a close-up of food on the floor, which Roxy must clean up as part of her tasks. This scene shows her and her mother going back and forth.

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, ...

Production Blog: Spring Break is Over

So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group. We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work. In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
