 Hey, blog! It's me again. Today, I will be talking about my trip to the mall. We went because we realized we had forgotten to bring the necessities for the evil sister on the second day of filming. So I volunteered to go buy the costumes we needed. I did not know the size of the little girl so I decided to let her tag along. I drove to Galleria Mall and looked inside Macy's first just to find an affordable black dress. Unfortunately, this did not reach the expectations with prices and my partner recommended going to Marshalls, Tjmaxx, or Ross. I then went to these retail stores and the first one I walked into had the inspiration I was looking for. I bought the dress and then proceeded to look for other items we needed. As I looked around in other retail stores I continued to find more dresses and decided to buy one more to pick from. During this process I was concerned I bought too much for our film but when we filmed it ended up working perfectly. The next day my group and I...

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...

  Hey, blog! It's me again. Today I will discuss our first day of filming for our short film. I started off the day by confirming everyone in the first 3 scenes would be able to attend our filming session. After everyone confirmed I began to head over to our set location, my partners Marianas' house. I arrived before everyone else did because I wanted to go over what we would be filming that day and in what order we would set everything on the set. After a couple minutes people began to arrive and they began to review the script for the scenes we were going to do. My partner and I went over the itinerary for that day. As this finished we began to set it up and started. I decided the let everyone continue going over their script for another ten minutes. While they did this Mariana and I filmed the establishing shot to show where the story is taking place.  Once this task was finished we began filming. I decided to let my partner film the first few shots. After this, I began to ...

hey, blog! its me again! Today I will be talking about the changes we made on our planning and storyboard blog. After fully planning our schedule we were able to meet up got our first day. As we discussed many situations came up. The first thing discussed was one of the most important things in our storyline which was the evil parent. The casting for this short film seemed to be difficult for this action to be displayed so I recommended changing the evil parent to an evil sibling. This began to work out and we had to make changes to our storyboard and to our script. The next problem I brought up was the weather conditions we had originally planned in our storyboard. Ideally, we wanted to have a stormy night. However, whenever we start to film we aren't able to control or predict the weather. In this case, I recommended two options. We can either attempt to make an edit adjustment so it looks like we are in those weather conditions. The other option I recommended was just showing th...

 Hey, blog! It's me again! After my partner and I planned out our story our next step was to begin filming. Before this happened I wanted to clear my schedule and find places to meet and discuss our further filming process. I started by formatting my schoolwork and my soccer schedule. With my season about to end, it wasn't very difficult to fit time. However, my partner also had practices of her own so I managed to work around that. After planning out this schedule we were mainly free on Fridays and over the weekend. Mondays were also not as busy as the rest of the week. When I picked the days I also added a layout so that on every day that we met up we would work on a different section of the project. This way the work would be balanced. I also split the work among each other.      My partner and I haven't fully discussed any section of the filming process just yet. Our first meeting will be in a week from now. My goal for this project is to stay on task and maintai...

 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 cloth es 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 ...
