Series of Unfortunate Events

 Hello guys welcome back to yet another production blog. Today was supposed to be the day for us to start recording but unfortunately, reality had other plans. My school was placed on a huge lockdown. All day we were stuck in our first-period classes waiting for updates on what might happen. Today I was supposed to stay after school with my group and walk to Wilton Drive to record a few scenes. The scene I was targeting the most was where Santana walks to and from work. While I was looking forward to recording, after-school activities for our school were canceled. Now you may ask, how does this affect where you go after school? Well, I and my whole group take the activity buses home. These buses leave at 5pm and take us home so our parents don’t have to pick us up. I live a while away from the school so getting picked up is tricky. So taking the bus is the best option. But since the activities were canceled, there were no activity buses coming. So, my group collectively decided to reschedule for another day after school this week. This is really unfortunate for me because I was looking forward to getting real progress on this project. But in the meantime, while my group and I find another day we can get together, I will continue to work on this project. During the lockdown, I used my time to research songs I can put into the video. I found a couple more songs that I shared with my group and fortunately they approved. Now the editing process for our video will be smoother and easier. Adding the non-diegetic sound in the back will be easy. I hope my group and I will be able to get together really soon. I’ll see you in the next production blog.

Preparing for recording!

Image
 Hello everyone welcome back once again!! So while I wait for the day my group can record, I can get all the props and stuff ready. Since we all are recording after school, everything we need for recording needs to be taken with my group next Wednesday. To record and get good quality, we will need a decent camera. I prefer cameras over phones because they are better quality. They also make it easier to edit the video together since you can export all the shots onto a computer. My dad has. many cameras so I will ask him to borrow one. We also need someone with a steady hand to be able to record. Or we can use a tripod. personally, I prefer a tripod since it ensures the steadiness of the camera. Along with that, Isa will need to have her red dress ready. One other very important aspect will be the script. As of now, we have a vague script and layout for what will be said. I think it will be better to have more of a set script. For the next few days, I will be working on a script to m...

Unleaded (Thriller): Short Film

Image
  The short film Unleaded begins with a black screen, typical from a thriller short. The audience is only given the sound of what is revealed to be a person filling up gas at a station. A woman is shown to be sitting in her car as she looks inside the gas station. She then is shown to be watching two people robbing the gas station inside, one pointing a gun at the cashier and the other holding him down. Another car pulls into the gas station and the women watches the car very closely. What is going on in the car is then revealed. There are two men in the front and a third in the back. The two look to the back and at the third guy as he objects to going inside the gas station. It is not known if they are aware of what is going on inside, but the man who was objecting in car ends up going in, putting on a gray hoodie, and walks right past the robbers. The robbers notice and one sneaks up from behind the guy in the grey hoodie and points a gun from the back of his head telling him to ...
