 Welcome back everyone! I wanted to address an important part of filming being safety. There were a few safety precautions made to ensure filming went smoothly and nobody got hurt. First, let's talk about the scene of Omnia walking back from the car with boxes in hands. In this scene, what the group and I wanted to do was to actually have a scene of her driving the car but it was decided that it would be dangerous and it would be better to just have viewers assume she drove the car to the house with her moving boxes. This was a smart choice because the film still looks good and is understandable without having to take such a safety risk. Additionally, there were scenes included of the killer (Harley) holding an extremely sharp and big chef knife. The only reason for the massive size of this knife was to give the real dramatic effect that most thriller movies give and give the viewer a more scary and suspenseful feeling the scarier the weapon is. The safety precaution that was taken for this was a first aid kit nearby just incase during the stabbing scene it cut Omnia or if Harley accidentally dropped it on her foot, there would be everything needed instantly. Lastly, there was a pool scene of Omnia being "stabbed" and pushed into the pool. Although this could be unsafe, I made sure Omnia was a good swimmer and the pool was not deep so she was able to reach the bottom with her feet. During the stabbing scene of Omnia falling into the pool, the group made sure Harley did not actually stab or hurt Omnia in the process. Overall, everything went smoothly and nobody got hurt thankfully! Talk more next time.

Production Blog- The Final Stretch!

Hello and welcome back blog. It is the final stretch and the complete process of making this short film is now coming to a close. It is a sad realization but at the same time I am so beyond proud of how hard me and my group worked and well as all the time and effort we put into this short film. The group finished filming and now the process of editing has begun. It took three full days of filming in order to get all the scenes for the short film. When Jenna put most of the scenes together in imovie, it came out to be a six minute film. There was so many scenes that needed to be cut out and shortened that she is still working to shorten it as we speak. We used the time in class to brainstorm different sounds that should be used throughout the short film. It was pretty difficult coming up with sounds to use because nothing truly fit the scenes to perfection. While coming up with that, I had a classmate named Jack peer review the short film. At this point the short film was no where near ...

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...
