Production Blog: Everything Went Wrong

The past few days have not been working in my favor. I was planning on filming more scenes for my film, but that didn't work at all. I was talking to my friend Skyler, who plays "Ava" in my film, about when would be a good time for us to get together and film the scenes that she's in. She let me know that she had a lot of work for school and her job this week. She told me that next week would probably work better for her. I told her it was fine because she's only in two or three scenes. When we do get together to film, I plan for it to only take maybe just one hour. I also spoke to Paul, who plays "Noah", about when he would be able to film. He's always been a very busy person, so I wasn't too surprised when he let me know that he wasn't going to be able to film this week. He asked me if we could film his scenes at the beginning of April. I said that was actually fine by me because he's just in one or two scenes too. My parents will also take part in my film, but I had issues with them too. They both work during the week, and once they arrive home it's usually too dark to film. I know that this Sunday will be daylight savings time, which will be really good for me. I will be able to film when my parents get home from work because it won't be dark anymore. If that still doesn't work, I will plan to film their scenes during the weekend very soon. SO here's my plan. This weekend, I will hopefully be able to film with my parents, but if not I will during the week this upcoming week. This upcoming week I will also take a day to film with Skyler. During the first few days of April, I will take a day to film with Paul. With the remaining time I will have, I will edit the film. This gives me almost two weeks to edit my film, which is more than enough time.

Starting the Final Task

Image
Hello, my name is Paulina Moreno. I'm in twelfth grade and I'm heading to college in the fall of 2021. I was originally born in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, but I've moved a lot since then. I've lived in many parts of Mexico, and also in Georgia and Florida, here in the United States. I've never really stayed in one place for too long, but that's what makes my life so fun. Everything I have experienced in the past has made me into the person I am today. My life is kind of like a movie, there are many ups and downs that shape the character into the person they are. That's why I love Media Studies. I want to learn how movies are created and all the different things that are incorporated into the film industry. I also want to learn how movies from other countries are made because I used to live in another country and movies are really different there. For the final task assignment, I decided to work by myself. Because COVID-19 is still a big problem in the United States...

TiK ToK (Music Video)

Image
"TiK ToK"  For the music video project, I was actually really excited, but I had many questions. What song am I going to choose? How do I want to film it? Do I want more people in the video or just myself? What would I wear in the video? What props would I use? I had many more questions but I had to think quickly. I ended up choosing a song called "TiK ToK" by Kesha. I chose this song because I needed to choose a song that I knew the lyrics to, and I can never go wrong with a 2000s song. I posted my intro blog on November 13th. This blog was all about my song choice and if I was planning to film with anyone else. Then a few days later I started researching the pop music genre. I posted my research blog on November 16th. The day after, I posted my planning blog. This blog was about my filming schedule, my props, and my costumes. In the days after, I drew out my storyboard and posted it on November 20th. This blog is the most important in my opinion. Without the story...

Production Blog: Filming is complete, now continuing to edit

Image
These past few days have been really productive in regards to my film. I finished filming all of my remaining scenes over the past two days. I did this on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, I went to the beach to film the driving scenes. I have a couple scenes that take place in my car, so I had to film a lot of angles and views. I went to the beach with my mom, because some of the clips don't take place inside of the car. She drove my car, while I filmed. She doesn't know how to film, so since the clips were from far away, you can't tell who's driving the car. On Wednesday, I filmed the scenes that take place at my house. Either in the driveway or inside. I was waiting until Wednesday to film these scenes because I didn't have the props for them until earlier this week. I used a cardboard box for one scene. For this scene, I had to be packing up my clothes, to represent my packing for the move. In another scene, I used a "for sale" sign in my driveway. Th...
