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.

Movie Conventions Research: A Quiet Place

What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? The main element of the thriller genre that A Quiet Place has it’s the non-diegetic and diegetic sound. It’s mainly used to show what the characters are heading, and to highlight how quiet the world is, because of how loud those small movements are that we don’t tend to notice. Such as walking or placing down something on a shelf. There’s also non-diegetic sound, which is used to build suspense when there’s climax’s of action. My group will use diegetic and non-diegetic sound to also have this element. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? In A Quiet Place the monsters that are hunting them are almost never directly shown. They’re shown in blurs and just in sound. You know there is danger, but you don’t know who or what’s behind it. It’s one of the elements my group enjoyed within this movie. It builds the suspense, because you draw your own conclusions and the u...

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.
