LIGHTS, CAMARA, ACTION!

 Hey guys welcome back! It's finally time to shoot. The team has agreed that this weekend should be ideal for finally going to the location. I have setbacks though, this weekend, the competition for mock trial was extended and I don't know how to make time for everything. This project is due to and this weekend is the only opening that the whole team has. Everyone else has been busy on the weekends, this is so stressful. The team has already started recording the opening. Ayanna and Stanley have been recording the opening and planing while I have been figuring out the angles and finalizing the details on how to shoot the activities at the location. We've decided to use an I-phone to record some of the scenes, which I feel would make the process a little harder in my opinion. In my mind, I was thinking of doing some high angles but I don't think it's gonna be possible. I need to talk about costumes, I was thinking that certain colors might look better, much more happy and delighted compared to other colors which will give a more solitary and loney mood. Clothing and hair do's, in my opinion for the ladies, should be done as well. For the friend group, a more tidy and nice do to reflect the mood of belonging and perfect, as in the person being excluded, when she's alone, and be in more shabbier or left thought out outfits to show last minute, little desire to be there, kinda mood. The video is only a few minutes long and the video should convey our idea faster and better, even if it is unrealistic or a tad bit dramatic. In the end, maybe it is these details which make our video more rememberable, and can teach us a few more things about filming. We need to get the timing of when to start and end ready so that the plan is concrete and ready for shooting. Other than that i think the group is ready to go,  they just need to choose a movie to watch for the theater scene. However those would be all the thing left to decide, things seem to be set. A lot of the other teams seem to be ready for rolling.                                                                                                                                                                                     


For example, this picture notice how the different colors Barbie and Eddie from Strangers Things are wearing. Although their both in the daylight, Barbie and Ken's clothing are so bright and neon as well as their hair style, which make the scene much happier. In contrast to Eddie, who is wearing bleak and boring colors but his acting makes the scene more enticing. That is my point which is why I want to implement control of costumes. That's all for now, take care, see you soon!

So, moving into the characters that would be in the film. The group was chosen based on availability, most of them, well all, being my friends. A recurring helper, my best friend Johanna, my friend Jacobo, and someone I met recently, Sophia. There were more people but they didn't have time or something came up. From the team, only Benjamin and I showed up.  The team decided to record in late January so it was a tad cold but Everyone wanted to fit into the timeline so most of the team members were co-opperative dress attire-wise. I made sure everyone brought the necessary items given that the place was dark, so flashlights were required. It took a while for the recording team to all show up, but once attendance was met, I set up most things to get ready to shoot. The first step was to clear the area and make a map of the areas we would visit throughout the recording. The team decided on a few areas, the first being the storage room with the skates previously mentioned. The group dec...

 Hey guys welcome back quick update, a lot of things changed. Well a lot was forced to, due to our extenuating circumstances and the production of this is music video. Let me explain, to make things simple, the video won’t be going on script with the storyboard. I put my party and even though I had just gotten out of competition, and hadn’t eaten, I put my part in and brought my best friend in order to complete the ideal goal. However, a lot of problems arose, some being mine and others not so much.  One of the problems that I had was in fact, competition, I was not aware of how late the final round would last and my group meme era had to film the lonely part by them selves, Ayannah and Benjamin. I ended up finally being free at around 3:30 pm, and had to run and pick up my best friend in order to even make it to see the team. There was in fact some negative feels towards me but I couldn’t control it and I changed the schedule and filming period in order to make time for every...
