Production blog: Prepping for film


Hey blog, its me again. My group and I got together over the weekend to confirm our planning before heading to the carnival. It was a week before going and I was in charge of bringing props we would us for the film. One of the props I brought for the film was a black hoodie for Makenna, I brought this because she was a "stalker" in the film and we needed her to look as mysterious as possible. Another prop we planned to use for this character was a plain black mask because the face reveal of the character would be at the very end. I was not able to find a black mask and moved to our alternate plan and used a scarf instead. One important thing that was needed for the film was a photo album of the character so my group and I made an album of gathered photos that we could scroll through for that scene. I reminded my group to bring money and a wallet when paying for a ticket and carnival games. This would help make the audience of the film understand what we are purchasing for.  After I checked off all the props that we would be using in the film I went over my script alone and even with y sister. I also went over my script with my groupmate that I would be saying this script to. My groupmate and I went over the script at least five times each scene. The costumes we used in the film were designated for each character. For example me and my groupmate we played the two friends and we each wore bright colors and made the outfit look like summer time. Meanwhile the "stalker" wore dark colors and was all covered up. After establishing this with my group it was finalized the day of and we began to film the next week. We did this color separation to tell a difference between us. It also helps the audience understand each character better with the color of their clothes. That's it for today blog! Until next time. Karina logging off.

Production Blog: On set

Hye blog! Its me again. It has been about six days since the last time we filmed. Our first time filming was very successful. I started off todays filming day the same way I started it last time. I texted everyone who is on set to confirm whether they are able to make it or not. I started to head to Marianas house but I ended up arriving late due to traffic issues. Since I was already late I stopped by to get small snacks for everyone so we don't have to stop like we did last time. I let my partner know that I was arriving late and that she could get a head start on the filming. Today the goal was to shoot at least 4 new scenes so we can speed up the process. Unfortunately there were many minor things we have forgotten to include in this task. For instance, we forgot to remind everyone to wear the same costume they had on the first day of filming. Next we forgot to provide our new cast member with a list of items they needed to bring for their character, also we forgot to provide s...

Group blog for short film

 Hey blog welcome back! Today I will write a blog about my partner I will be working with for my project. I am currently taking A-level media and have a new groupmate. The reason for new groupmates is that my old ones did not continue to take media studies. To introduce my new groupmate, her name is Mariana Wright. I have known Mariana for a while because we went to the same middle school and had other classes together. I decided to work with her because I saw how good of a job she did last year at the AS level and wanted to share ideas with her. Also, I believe working with Mariana would be good because she is very easy to communicate with and also a hard-working person. Along with this, she is also a really fun person to be around. So not only will our project have a good outcome but we will also have fun in the process. Once we began to talk about it we had no clue who we were both going to be working with which is when we decided to work together. We instantly clicked with idea...
