Any Ideas...Anyone?

     Hi, welcome back reader! Last time I left off with the good news that the team had finally found the ideal location to shoot. It's cool looking, dark, mysterious and just perfect for what I had in mind to convey with the opening sequence. Everything seemed like sunshine and rainbows right? I thought so too, but the satisfaction I felt in that moment would only be momentary because of what was about to dawn on me. Cool location and cool idea but now, what's the name gonna be? Oh boy. 

The team was rather torn on what decision to make, because well, let me explain. See, I along with another fellow team member, like to dispute and discuss, what is the next, and right step. So imagine the atmosphere of two members arguing what is right and who is right. This discussion, boy was that one of those moments. I came up with a lot of ideas and so did the rest of the team, but when a bad title was divulged, being merciful and forgiving, was definitely not one of the teams virtues. Needless to say, the working atmosphere was not ideal at the given moment. One of mt classmates passed the idea to base the title off a prop or something representative of the location in it own and what the team had in mind to produce. 

What an idea it was, it helped the team take a step forward and we focused on one of the props that the team thought would be super cool to include in the film. It's these abandoned skates that were left in a high pile in one of the rooms. The concept of it being a recording or the recollection of what a group of teens last saw before their gruesome demise. These ideas that the team had produced led me to recommend a rather interesting idea and that would later merge with another to create our final project. Whatever could it be! That is a truly interesting fact, and that will be discussed next time, till then bye!



Here's a picture of the huge pile of skates, there are actually so many it's so crazy and cool looking!

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...
