Production Blog: Finalizing Dates to Film

On march 29th my team and I discussed the dates. They initially tried Sunday but I was informed way to late. I couldn't make the last minute film. So they were going to film without me which was fine but it wasn't possible seeing and my understudy wasn't able to make it anymore. This was leaving them with no choice but to cancel and reschedule once more.

We tried to film later to see how that would go. I was given an much earlier notice. I was able to make the date and so was everyone else. Allowing us to continue with our regularly scheduled program. This allowed me time to schedule and order a lyft ride to get to the park.

This also gave me the opportunity to figure out my situations for transportation getting back home from the park. We all managed to come to an agreement and we began the next step of checking everything off our list. It was to ensure that we have all of the possible needed props with us. This was just a double checking to make sure that we don't have to keep going back and forth about what prop is needed and why we don't have it. I was also thinking in the back on my mind who should bring a copy of the storyboard along just to make sure that everything stays on script.

I reminded myself to bring that up to the group and see if someone could bring a copy. I would do it myself but I do not have a printer at home and my phone does not have service at the moment. These are part of the reason why it is so it was critical that I had everything in order before I left home. Otherwise I would be stuck without any source of communication and alone seeing as the other girls would have to go home afterwards as well. These are all things that I am thinking about before filming day gets here and we begin our filming journey

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...
