Production Blog

 Greetings! Welcome back. I want to talk more about filming and what the process was like. To start off a little more from the beginning, everything went smoothly. What ended up happening was Omnia and Harley came home with me from school on Thursday, March 16 and Marlo got a ride to my house from her parents. Filming started at around 5pm and sundown was at 7:30pm. My group and I used the 2 and 1/2 hours of daylight to film all the daytime scenes for this opening sequence. Scenes that were filmed were out of order due to the multiple days in the movie but only one day for the group to film. There was definitely much distraction due to the fact of my group and I being good friends and there is so much to talk about between us so it was hard to keep focus for long periods of time. Everyones ideas and opinions were heard and all of us had much creative input to give on scenes and how they should be filmed to portray the theme of the movie. Any night scenes in this opening sequence were filmed after 7:30pm and everyone left my house and went home at around 9pm. Overall, I had a very fun time filming and the whole group put in good and equal effort into getting the filming done in one day. Everyone contributed and it was a lot of fun as well as there being many laughs. Talk more next time!

Production Blog- Continuation of filming

 Hello and welcome back blog. It was decided that the new filming date would be Saturday March 2nd. I work from 9-5 that day but I will be going after work to film the night scenes. The only thing I am worried about is when the school scenes are going to be filmed. Very soon, editing and putting together the film needs to begin because it does take a lot of time for this to come together and our deadline is March 15 to have the movie as well as website and postcard completely done. Carleigh is still putting together the website and it is taking a bit longer than I would like because I need the link to make the QR code for my postcard. The plan on Saturday is to film more at night around 6 for it to be dark so we will be able to film the night scenes of the grave as well as when the flashbacks in the short film occur in the dark. Carleigh said that she should be getting the website done in a couple days. Jenna is going to have to start editing the film together once we get a bunch m...

Production Blog- Drawbacks

 Hello and welcome back blog! Today was a day of learning and gaining new information on different media studies and theorists. In media today, I learned about media ecology and all the ways it can help us understand filming and how to apply it to our knowledge of media. It was very interesting to learn about and realize how much our society and media has changed over the years and how well communication has transformed things in our modern society. I also discussed with my group that because of my work schedule, it can be difficult to plan what days to film for the final task. I suggested that filming could take place on days that I do not work and everyone is not busy and going to Jenna’s house for filming after school would be a good plan. Weekends are very busy for me and it would be difficult to set an exact day to film for right now. One day next week, the plan would be to film after school but I will let you know for sure what day it is that filming is done. There were a cou...

I am so beyond sad that everything is now complete and filming is over. It truly was such a blast to be able to film so much with my friends and make a pretty good short film. I will miss the process of filming this short film. There were many ups and downs but overall the experience in A level media has been a fun process and I am proud of how hardworking me and my group were making this short film.
