Preparing to Film!


  Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! So my group and I are continuing the production process for our movie and I have to admit, it’s a lot of work! Last time you were here , I was building the website for my group as that was one of my assigned jobs. But, now that we are getting closer to due date for our movie, it’s time that we now start preparing even more! So, in this blog , I want to talk to you about all the different moving parts of this movie and how much we are doing for it. So basically , the first thing we needed was location. Our original plan was to film at Andres’ (our group mate) house for the scenes that required the inside of the home which is a good chunk of our film. These would be the scenes like the beginning with the date and other things. We decided Andres’ house because he lives in the most central location between all of us. But for the part of our movie where the main character wakes up from the coma, we were going to try to find a hospital of some sort. We wanted our movie to try to be in the specific real locations to try to make it look as realistic as possible. So because of that, we decided to try to find an outside venue for the hospital to follow Cambridge rules since we can’t film at school. So, my group mate yasmin emailed and called around to local nursing/medical schools in the area. But, we weren’t really that successful. They sent us back lots of dates which were conflicting with other things our group had to do. So , after I analyzed all the dates and contacted everyone with different plans and tried to make it work , to make things easier we just decided to change that part of our movie and have the character wake up in a “home care” of some sort. Kyra was helping out with the music for the movie. I was in charge of implementing the music into our website of some sort because I want our movie to have a “theme song” surrounding it of some sort. So when she messaged the underground band , she sent me the file and I got to working on the website some more. That’s it for now, be back to watch us continue the production process, BYE!

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...

Production Blog: Filming Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog!  Guess what, we filmed! My group mate and I finally filmed. Mya and I filmed at Sawgrass Mall, a mall near both of our houses. Filming took about a two hours in total. We were on a time crunch so we had to hurry . The person we ended up using to play the kidnapper was both Mya and I's friend Joey. We picked Joey because  fit the type of person we wanted to play that character.  But, Joey ended up not being able to come last minute which we started to panic. The main problem we had when filming was finding a location. Specifically , it was hard for our group to find a family bathroom that fit how we wanted it to look. We wanted a family bathroom so that we can all go inside and film inside the bathroom with everyone helping out. We ended up not being able to find a family restroom. We looked all over the mall and couldn't find one and we all started to freak out. But, we couldn't make one appear so we just decided to scrap that s...

Genre Decision Blog

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog, today I wanted to share with you my group's decision on what genre our final task will be.  The first genre we considered was a comedic genre and this was a genre we spent a lot of time looking at. When looking at it, we liked how comedy and comedic decision is spread throughout the entire media,  for example, you have the comedic and goofy movements with the camera shaking and going upside down. As we reviewed it more, our thoughts changed about the props and we originally didn't like the use of props but as we reviewed we began to see the comedic purposes that props play and that purpose,  it can be the actor using it to do something silly or really anything, and we also liked how we would use diegetic sound like laughing to get the genre across even more. But, there was a really big dealbreaker when it came to part of this genre and that was the dialogue aspect. The reason this was a dealbreaker is because we thought it...
