 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- 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...

Putting together a short film

  Hey Blog. This blog will discuss and evaluate the procedure of putting together a short film. The first important factor in starting the process of making a short film is identifying your budget. Understanding how much Knowing how many people will work with you and who will be a part of your cast is involved with the budget. This is very important to know to write up a plan for filming. Starting to write out a filming plan with the budget in mind is highly important. Knowing how much money can be sent and what resources are available to you plays a part in the budget and essentially the whole film. Smaller casts are usually common for shot films so keeping that in the plans is important. Knowing big fancy scenes like explosions can't be done because short films usually have limited money and resources. This makes creativity a highly important factor. Also, short films typically have a shorter duration than feature-length films, often ranging from a few minutes to around 30 minute...
