Troubles and proposals

-

 Hey guys welcome back! So a bit has been happening, and a little has been discussed about the location. Well one of the team members had brought up to the team the location, suggesting a new place to film. The group decided to investigate the place a little more, it was good location with more available options but there were a few issues that led the idea to be discarded. For starters, the location was far for a some of the members. Another issue was the actual locations at the store. Although the new location had more stores, therefore more scene options, it didn't have a place to shoot one of our main scenes, the movie theater scene. Each person had to take a voting, whether to discard the scene or not. However, after a bit of debating, the team decided to stick with the original plan and thought it was for the best. A change in locations would have resulted in more changes than necessary, as the timing and schedule would've had to change to accommodate everyone. Other than that the plan seems to be set and ready, shooting should start soon. I have the role of being one of the members in the friend group, you know, the fake one. Having said that, I'm also the one in charge of choosing the locations for the scenes and showing it to the team for final approval, since I frequent the place a lot with my friends. All other scenes have been decided on, location and activity, all except for one. The movie for the theater scene hasn't been chosen, but the film will surely be made tomorrow. Currently, for our first scene, theres this specific type of shot I want to show the team. I used to listen to this one song in 2015 over and over again, and I would watch the music video endlessly. The video starts in the girls room with who is supposed to be big sister, a two shot and a aerial shot. This scene used to always fill me with emotion, as I thought of how close they were and how I instantly knew the story would be about them. I would always cry every time I saw the music video because it was the story of the struggle of two girls, sisters, against their judgmental town, how they were helped by friends and the last scene was taken in a almost exact way. This time the sisters were happier then they were in the beginning. I want to incorporate some of that into this music video now that I can so I want to talk with the team tomorrow during planning.


This scene is what I want the opening shot to be like, this brought so many memories back to me, i'm gonna go listen to it again right now. For now that's all I have, but stay tuned for the final detail and the teams verdict on my idea, bye!!

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...
