Planning Blog: Location, Participants, Health, Schedule

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to tell you about my group-mate and I's plan on our final task when it comes to the location, participants, health, and schedule


Location

The big umbrella location we will be using is Sawgrass Mall. It is a mall near our house and it has a big outside area which is where well film. For the first scene, we will film outside walking outside around the food and store area. The other locations we will film at the mall would be inside a store for one scene and then inside a bathroom, all other locations at the mall would be outside. The final scene will be filmed inside a car.


Participants

In total, we will have 3 participants. Our friend Sarah is one of the actors. She will play the main character in the opening sequence and will be in every scene. We will have another participant, Mya,  who will be Sarah's friend in the opening sequence who is concerned for Sarah. Finally, we will have one other person play the antagonist and will be in 3 of the scenes for the opening sequence. 


Health and Safety

We will ensure to take safety precautions when filming our final task. First, in the second scene we will have a very loud alarm go off on the phones of the main character, Sarah and her friend in the film. This could be a problem as people might there is a real emergency due to the loud alert sound. To ensure safety, we will for one pick a store with little to no people inside of it and we will inform and ask the head of the store if this is okay. By us picking a store with no one inside it we will avoid any panic from customers.

Next, in the last scene we will be very careful with the antagonist (the guy with the jacket and the mask). In that scene, they will have to cover the mouth of Sarah to show her being attacked by him. Covering people's mouths is an obvious safety issue as it could cause someone not to be able to breathe. To ensure safety and health, we will make sure to film his scene very quickly and if we need to keep re-filming we'll take the hand off right after and cut the scene. Also, for sanitation purposes, we will have who plays the antagonist wear gloves. 

Lastly, we will have to take into consideration also the to protect the other customers from harm and fear. Specifically when filming scenes where we film with the antagonist having a mask, gloves, and a hoodie on we will make sure to film with areas with minimal people. Filming in an area with lots of people, people can take that very seriously so we will make sure to film in an area with not many people or no people if possible to not instill fear for safety purposes. 


Schedule

For our schedule, we will make sure to film on the weekend of April 1st. We chose to film on a weekend instead of a day after school so that we wont have to worry about school work and getting home late to have to do homework. We will try to film it all in one day which should be pretty easy due to us not using multiple locations really. We will film scenes at nighttime , to have that spooky aspect and try to stay within the conventions of the horror genre with dark lighting. If we can not film when it is completely pitch black, we will film for sure around dusk to keep that convention. We don't plan on having to re-film or plan on having to reschedule but if we do , we all have pretty flexible schedules to change or add dates and get it done. 

The week after that, we will spend solely on adding in our titles and adding in effects. One day we will dedicate to just adding in titles and the next we will use to just edit clips like the lighting, etc and add in special effects and transitions. We will also add in our sound

After we edit, we will begin to ask for feedback from different people. Then next, we will make final changes if needed and incorporate the feedback that we were given and then finally start the process of turning in our final task!



Thank you for reading my plan, we're down to the final steps before the journey is over!

  Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai.  Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself. He would state his name and then, similar to a lawyer examining a witness, will ask Kai to introduce herself. After Kai says her name the camera will pan back to Mya who will go looking for the other members.  Scene Three- The third scene will jump cut to Joey asleep on a patio bench. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera.  Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different bench. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...

CCR BLOG   1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent   social groups or issues?   Our commercial product both uses and challenges commercial conventions. In normal school PSA's, they will usually have some type of message at the end. Within our commercial, we made sure to end our commercial with the message we wanted to get across which was to promote our mock trial team and we ended it with the introduction of all together as one. In one way it challenges conventions because usually school PSA's use normal clothing such as t-shirts, hoodies, pants, etc. Our commercial we took that typical clothing up a notch, and we wore our court attire because it matched more the school PSA we wanted to get across. I think our commercial represents social groups because it shows a group of people who are apart of a team and the group is diverse as well and shows representation. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be...

Intro Blog

Hello, I am Marvin and I am the son of a full Haitian dad and a full African-American mother. I am the oldest child out of all my siblings. On my mom's side I have a little sister named Malaysia and I have a 3 month old brother on my dad's side named Mayson. In the future, I hope to be a lawyer and maybe even go into politics.  I am not sure what type of lawyer I want to be yet due to the vast variety of types of lawyers there are or what law school I would want to go to. For undergraduate if I stay in state I for sure want to go to the University of Florida. If I'm being optomisitc, I would love to be able to go to an Ivy League school for undergraduate school but using my bright futures might be the best option. Right now, I am currently the Class of 2025 President and I am also apart of the Mock Trial Team. My favorite part of being on the mock trial team is the people for sure, they always have the best jokes and are very supportive of anything anyone does. I like being...
