Production blog- Figuring everything out

 Hello and welcome back blog!! I wanted to say that me and my group have been communicating very well and getting things organized and put together quickly. As I predicted in the beginning of the year, I knew this group would be able to work together well. Everyone has been communicating and expressing their opinions and really helping out on all aspects of creating this short film. So far, filming has been great. Everything has been very fun and me and my group have been enjoying filming and really bringing the short film to life. I am looking forward to the next day me and my group have to film. Next time, filming is going to include visiting a small elementary close to jenna’s house. The plan is that Jenna is going to drive Carleigh, Sofia, and I from her house to the elementary. When we arrive there, the plan is to film near the entrance of the school or more towards a parking lot in some scenes. We are planning to be there for about 30-45 minutes to get a couple scenes there and then head back over to Jenna’s. Then once the sun sets and it is dark out, the plan is to film the flashbacks in the short film. These scenes would be me killing jenna in the short film as well as a funeral flashback. One thing my group still needs to figure out is where we are going to find a grave. The group and I have not decided if we would want to go to a cemetery because we all believe that it would be a little disrespectful to film on a random persons grave. The scene would be putting a flower on a grave being Jenna’s grave, (Olivia in the short film), but the problem with that is we do not want to go to a real cemetery to do this because it feels a little disrespectful. The group and I have not fully decided where we are going to film the funeral scenes. There is no set date to when we are filming yet either but it will probably be on a weekday after school where we will have some sunlight to go to the elementary. Then we would go back to Jenna’s till dark to film flashback scenes. It is a little difficult to come up with another filming date only because of everyones busy life. This week i have work on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and my hours are not flexible at all. Working 9am to 5pm does not allow much time to film or really do anything with the rest of the day. I will keep you updated when there is a new filming date. I need to pick some more outfits to change into as well as prepare a couple props for the flashbacks as well as school scenes. Till next time blog. Always great talking to you.

Production Blog

 Hello again! There has been a few changes in the filming process. As you know, the filming date for this project is Thursday, March 16, 2023. Some things have changed with the location of filming this project. This project was supposed to be filmed at my dads new and very big modern house that we are moving into in a couple of months. Things changed because my dad is renting out that house to different people before we move in. A couple booked to stay in the house starting today, Tuesday, March 14 all the way through Tuesday, March 28. This had me thinking because the people renting out the house will be there on the date that my group was going to film. The projects deadline is coming up quickly and I knew that my group could not wait two whole weeks before we film so I decided to improvise. I came up with the idea that instead the final task will be filmed at the current house my dad and I are in. This house is smaller but still has most of the necessities that will be needed. T...

Production Blog- Finally Finished Filming

 Hello and welcome back blog!! I have not updated you in a little while. The group and I had been planning on what day to film and finally it was decided that today would be the day. I have already discussed that everyone has super busy lives and it is a little hard to come up for filming days. Today was the last and final day of filming. It is Monday, March 11 and right when me and my group got out of school at 2:40, we went straight to my house in order to regroup and discuss further scenes that needed to be filmed. After the group got to my house, filming started shortly after. First, I discovered that the amber alert scene needed to be filmed and that was done by changing contact names to the names of the girls in the short films and a voiceover affect of the amber alert saying the name of the girl who is missing. Then, a couple scenes of Ellie trying to call Olivia in the short film and crying, needed to be filmed. After about an hour of completing these scenes, it was then ti...
