Change in plans....


    Today was a really tough day for me, my friends Franshesca, Isa, and Lauren. We had been looking forward to getting together and working on our movie project. It was going to be the day we recorded some scenes for our movie, and we were all excited about it. But things didn't go as planned. As we got to school, we heard rumors about a lockdown being imposed on the campus. At first, we thought it was just a silly rumor, but we soon realized that it was true. The school was in lockdown mode, and we were all trapped in our classroom for the entire day. It was a scary situation. We had no idea what was going on, but we could hear the police going from door to door, locating suspects and taking them out of class all day long. We felt helpless and worried, and we couldn't focus on anything else. To make matters worse, we had to scrap our plans for our movie project. With the lockdown in place, we couldn't move around the campus, and it wasn't safe to record anything. We were disappointed, but we knew we had to focus on staying safe and getting through the day. As the day wore on, we finally decided to reschedule our recording for Saturday at my house instead. It wasn't ideal, but it was the best we could do given the circumstances. We were just happy to be safe and sound. It was a scary and frustrating day for all of us. We had hoped to work on our movie project, but the school lockdown made it impossible. Still, we were glad that we were all safe and that we had each other for support. It was a reminder that sometimes things don't go as planned, but it's important to stay positive and flexible in tough situations.

The very easy decision to not record today and reschedule

Short film research: (Buried Treasure/Mystery)

Image
    Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!. I am continuing to research short films and their conventions. I am reviewing short films that follow my genre to learn about conventions I would need to use for my short film. As the genre I am using is mystery, I am going to be watching mystery short films. In this blog I am going to research the mystery short film, “Buried Treasure”. I was able to find this short film option on YouTube.       When the film opens, the music is the first thing once again that I notice. This music is different though from the last movie I reviewed. The difference was that this music got louder progressively as the opening of the short film continued. The lighting is the same though. I notice the dark lighting. The dark lighting creates a very deep shadow and puts spotlights on certain aspects. This goes back to the point convention I’ve noticed in mystery films which is having the audience very focused on the little details....

Say hello to my little friends!

 Welcome back! In todays blog I plan to introduce you to the next 3 members you'll hear about till the end of our journey on this project, so lets get into it! For this project I realized that it would be our most ambitious one yet, so I decided to work with 4 people instead of 2 or 3. For those of you who've read my previous blogs, you'll remember Lauren, as she worked with me on my previous project too. Lauren and I worked exceptionally well together, so we decided to keep the ball rolling and tackle this on too. We could not do it alone however, so we added 2 new additions to our team, Franshesca and Isa. Starting with Isa, she's also on the debate team and is good friends with Lauren and I, so given that we all shared the same Media period together and already had good chemistry, she'll be a great pick for our team. Lauren, Isa and I sharing the same AICE Media period will prove quite beneficial as it makes coordinating, scheduling, and planning our project a mu...

  And the planning begins! Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! The last time you read I was researching for my short film. My group and I were doing things like comparing short films to its feature film version, looking at conventions of short films in our genre we chose (mystery), and etc. Now that my group and I have done the research it’s finally the time to start planning for our short film. So, in this blog, I wanted to talk to you guys about the ideas our group came up with when it comes to the scheduling, location, backup plans, and etc, for our film! Schedule So, for the schedule of our movie, we want to have it completely done and submitted by March 13th. By, this date we will have all of our marketing, editing, and filming done. So, our group decided to start filming around mid February. By filming in mid February, this will allow our group leniency. For example, if we forget to film a certain aspect of the movie, by having a month left, it will allow us to go back and ...
