Other info for Short Film


 Hye blog! it's me again! Today I will be talking about certain information that is important for our short film!

Location & Props 

We have decided that we will film at my house. This will be the primary setting and where the whole short will take place. We will close the curtains to make sure that our area still gives an old, eerie vibe. 

We will use a photobook. This book will be created prior to the filming day. We will use actual photos of Lana and Amanee in order to make it feel more realistic and add to the major plot twist. 

Participants & Costumes 

For this short we have casted 3 people: 

  • Riley – the babysitter. She will be in casual, teenage clothes to fit her role. 

  • Lana – the child. She will be child-like clothes. The costumes in our film will not be a part of the scare factor. 

  • Amanee – Lana’s sister. She will be in darker, casual clothes, as she is the evil Riley is being warned about. 

Health & Safety 

In order to ensure safety, every participant will carry their cellphone. This way they have access to a flashlight and emergency contacts if anything were to go wrong. 

Also, for every minor involved, we will communicate with their parents to ensure they know where we are at all times. 

We will not be consuming any food or drinks for this short. 

Back-up 

If either of our filming days do not work, we will make them up the following Sunday. 

If any participants are to back out, we have two other people (Izzy and Lola) ready to fill in.

Production blog: film review

 Hey blog! its me again. After officially finishing our video I showed my sister and brother the video to hear open comments on what could be fixed. I first showed my sister. After she watched the video the first thing she mentioned was that in some parts the music should go lower than the other ones because of the setting. For example, in the scene where veronica and the kidnapper have an encounter, she told me to lower the music because it could allow my audience to focus more on the dialogue than the music. Another flaw she pointed out was how fast the texts were disappearing so she told me to fix the timing and maybe make the sizes bigger. Finally the last thing she told me was to change where the dissolve was located because it was too close to the fade. These comments helped me a lot. I then went to my brother and he watched the film. Once again, after he finished watch, the first thing he told me was the music changing volumes for more focus on dialogue. He also mentioned ho...

Planning Blog

       Hey blog! it’s me again. BOOM! I am starting the process of creating my first my commercial. First thing that I am going  to do is get my photos. My mom has a whole album of pictures dedicated to each of her kids and their achievements, therefore I will be asking her for the help. For my videos I am going to ask my friends and sisters, they tend to take the most videos of me. I will be also going through my flash drive and camera roll to find photos and videos that show the real me. To find a song that truly fits me, Me and my dog will be listening to a playlist on Spotify of my favorite songs and see which song I sing the most to or describes me in the best way possible. After figuring out my song, I'm going to be filming a video talking about myself, then insert the photos and videos that I have collected. Then I am going to add the music as background just to take the silence away. I will be editing these videos together on Cap Cut, my photos and video...

critical creative reflection

     In this music video I have learned a lot from my groupmate's and technology. The process wasnt easy but it was done. In our music video my group and I decided to challenge the conventions. In the genre most of it follows what the song is saying or shows two scenes but goes back and forth. In our music video we made a script in which we acted out what the song felt like for us. One meaning we had of the song was drifting apart from a relationship and learning to let go, the other was realizing your actions and feeling guilt after. An issue this music video represented was jealousy and how it can come over your actions. The girl (maddie) realized that her friend and boyfriend were cheating behind her back and she took action by drowning the girl. A group this video could affect would be jealous people or people who cheat and lead people on. It could help them to understand how their actions can really affect people from the other side and be considerate. This music vid...
