Production Blog: Planning for Wednesday

-
We are currently planning for our last filming day. According to our plan, we should be filming on Wednesday. Because we will leave school early, we will have a lot of time on our hands to film. Hopefully, all of my group mates will be able to film on that day at night. Our last scene, where Chloe is supposed to set Rachel’s car on fire is supposedly taking place in a parking lot at night. The dark scenery will enhance the fear and shock the audience is supposed to feel. Another scene that is needed to be filmed is the scene where the plot twist happens. More specifically where Chloe ends up kidnapping Rachel. For that scene, I will need a bit of judo practice from Hannah as I will need to “attack” her. This might take a while to practice as I am not used to martial arts. However, all of us will make sure that we do not get hurt in the process. Another scene is the one where Chloe and her friends are shopping at the mall, which should be no problem and shouldn’t take too long. Finally, another scene needed will take place at the same location, in the mall. It will include Chloe and her friends talking about her situation. Her friends will try to find a solution to her problems. At first, we were also supposed to film today, but we decided not to as we won’t have enough time. Instead, we will just film all of them all at once. To be honest, I am a bit scared about the movie not being long enough. Worst case scenario, we will add additional scenes last minute that will enhance the current theme of our film.

Production Blog: Attempting the Third Day of Filming

My group mates and I are currently conflicted. Two of our members are not able to record today, meaning that only Hannah and I will be available. Considering the fact that we are producing a short film, it is going to be a bit difficult. Moreover, because Hannah has to get home pretty early, we will not have time to film too many scenes. This plan was very last minute, but it was the only way we could finish it in time. Even so, I am not overly confident, finishing everything in time will be very difficult due to our schedules next week. So, in order to not be overwhelmed today, I asked one of my close friends, Katlyn, to come over and help us a little bit. First, before going to my house, we are going to need to pick up some of the props that are still in Angie’s car. Then, Katlyn will drop us off home and us three will start working on the scenes. What we are planning on doing today is to first, get home, and print some props. Those props will consist of pictures of Chloe, some with

Last minutes plans

My group mates and I have to come the conclusion that we are not in an ideal situation. After most of the editing done, we are at 1:34, which is far from 2 minutes, our objective. After much reflection, we cannot adjust the clips enough for them to reach two minutes. Therefore, we need to add more clips. From where? We don’t know. We are thinking or making new ones. For that, we need to meet up again and add some more scenes. It will not only extend the amount of time of our project, but it will also make the transitions between each clip smoother. Moreover, we are thinking of meeting up on Sunday, at around 7:30, when it starts getting dark, at my house. Only Brianna and Aleiah will come, due to the fact that Angie will be in Cancun. Unfortunately, we cannot finish the editing before we have all clips needed. To be more specific, we need to put some of the credits on top of clips that we currently don’t have. That said, we are hoping to fix that very soon. Brianna and I have talked ab

Production Blog/Editing the sound

On November 18th, my group and I edited the sound. The song we chose is ‘Who says’ by Selena Gomez. The song itself is very well-made. The beginning portrays a woman being very insecure and regretful. Then, the middle represents the beginning of a new beginning, and the start of confidence. Finally, the end represents true confidence, and happiness. In other words, the structure tells a story, which made me want to preserve its storyline. Due to the fact that I wanted to include most parts of the song but couldn’t because we only have 1 minute and 15 seconds for the project, I came to conclusion to try to crop and edit the sound in order to fit everything within the time limit. After a whole class of working on it, the sound was done and ready to be used. The process was really long and difficult, and I had to be very precise. First, I cut some “useless” parts of the song. In second place, I cropped the existing parts, and made them a bit shorter. Finally, I needed to make the song sou
