 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...

 Hello everyone!! We finally found a day for my group and I to record our project! The past couple of days I’ve been sick and stuck at home. I mostly used these days to rest and do school work. My group and I had a long discussion earlier to plan out when would be s good day to record. Brianna and I have jobs and get our schedules every Sunday. This makes it hard for the both of us to know when we will be free. But I decided that if we assume what days we will have work and try to match up when we think we wont be busy then my group can find a day that works. This week won't be a good week because Isa and Brianna have National Qualifications for Debate. So we mostly looked at next week. Next week I assumed that I wouldn't have to work Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Brianna said she wouldn't have work Wednesday or Thursday either. So I decided that Wednesday would work the best for me. Everyone else agreed. Wednesday the 28th is our planned day to go and record after school...

 Hello everyone welcome back to another blog!  Last week my group and I were in 1st period talking about what our plan would be for recording. When all of a sudden, one of our administrative staff came on the announcements. She said for one of the buildings to evacuate. Lucky for us, we weren’t in that building so we kept talking about our project. I was planning when I would be open when the lady came back on the speakers. She said for 3 more buildings to evacuate, one of those buildings being mine. So, me and my friends all evacuated to the softball field. On the way over, I heard some rumors about what the reason for all of this might be. It turns out, there was a gas leak in one of the buildings which spread to the other buildings. While waiting for more information, everyone was forced to stand on the softball field for a while. Lucky us, it rained last night so we couldn’t sit or else we would get wet. My group and I decided to use our time to figure out when would be a ...

 Hello guys, welcome back to another blog regarding our progress.  As of now, my group still hasn't been able to record but in the meantime, I've decided to research some camera angles and music. I wanted to know what the best camera angles would be for the movie so I looked it up. For the scene where they are fighting, I wanted to know how to portray that in the best way possible. I found that fight scenes are really planned out. The choreography needs to be set up so it looks like an actual fight and not just a scripted scene where people pretend to hit each other. Since the actors are going to use fake weapons, we need to make sure the hits look real. What I found is that the camera angles are the most important parts of the video. High and low angles are super important to show who has the power in the battle. they add depth and dynamic in the fight scenes. Since in at the end of the scene the girl wins, low angles on her will signify her dominance of the situation. When t...

                           Hello everyone, welcome to the first production blog for my group's project!! I'm so excited to start this project and be able to create an amazing movie with my friends. After the storyboard and finalizing our story, I  am finally able to schedule meeting together with my group to film. Although this may cause some issues. I, for one, have work at Red Lobster where I get my schedule every Sunday night so it is difficult to know when I won't be working. I also know Brianna has work so our schedules might clash. My plan is to find a Saturday when I can take off work to do the project. Since the plan is to go to Red Lobster to film, I will ensure a day with my boss so we can record in a secluded area in the back. There is a back corner at my work will be the perfect spot to record and get the best angles. This part I am excited about since I get to show my friends what I do outs...

Hey blogger, welcome back! As it is getting closer to the filming period, we need to start planning.  • Schedule We will meet in person every 2 weeks to film. As we are in class we will see each every other day to discuss our plans. • Location We all live in different areas so we chose somewhere we all know we can go to. We will film in Sawgrass Mills Mall. We will find a designated drop-off area for all of us to go to. For the alleyway scenes, we will go to one of our houses and use the back alleyway to record.  • Participants As for participants, it will just be our group and 1 other guy who plays the lead role in the film. That guy will be a friend of Isa's who agreed to be a part of our production.  • Health and Safety The mall is a pretty public place and we all know to stick together when working so no one gets lost. we are all going to be dropped off by our parents at the location of the recording which will be discussed soon. Once we are all together, we w...
