We will start filming on December 27 through 29. We are using 3 days to film the scenes that we are both in. This is because we want to have time to record scenes over when we make errors and mistakes. Also, to have enough time to film and go to the different settings for each scene. We have have about five different settings in our short film. We will start filming over Christmas break because it is more convenient for the both of us. Also, we will check the weather app every day of filming to make sure it's not super cold to film.
Costumes are pretty basic but just to clarify the verbal abusive mother will be dressed in all black in the first scene but in the other scenes she will be wearing jean pants and a blouse. The daughter being abused will be wearing baggy clothes like an over sized hoodie and baggy mom jeans. The friend of the daughter will be wearing tights and a regular fitted shirt. The friend's mother will be wearing black pants, a blouse, glasses, and a jacket.

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood.

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. Her mother then goes to the bathroom in the next scene. Roxy receives a phone call from a friend, prompting Roxy to see her pal.

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...
