Production Blog- Started filming

 Hello and welcome back blog! Today I wanted to talk about the filming process so far and how it has been going for me. On February 19, 2024, Sofia, Carleigh, and I went to Jenna’s house around 12 noon to film. The group agreed that everyone had their own plans at 5pm so filming would need to resume another day. Carleigh did not have a ride to Jenna’s house and luckily we live somewhat pretty close so I went to pick her up. Carleigh and I ended up arriving to Jenna’s around 12:30pm. About 45 minutes after I arrived, Sofia got to the house. The group started brainstorming what scenes needed to be filmed in Jenna’s house. Some scenes are at the mall or getting food or at the school so I had to look at the storyboard to see what we could film in daylight at Jenna’s house for today. I ended up filming about 15-20 scenes in Jenna’s house during the day. Then Sofia ended up driving all of us to Galleria Mall to film some mall scenes that show Jenna being included in the girls hangout in the short film. After filming at Galleria for about an hour and of course some shopping too, we then ended up going to Zona Fresca to film a scene where the girls are getting food together. I wanted to make sure we could go to as many places as possible to show this film was in the span of a couple days. Another thing that was done to ensure the film looked like it was taking place over a couple days, was a bunch of costume changes. We all made sure to wear different clothes in scenes that were days apart from each other just to span out the short film a bit more. After filming at the mall and at Zona, then Sofia drove us all back to Jenna’s house where we just hung out for a little bit until we all had to go. In the picture, this was when I was filming the scene of Kendall and Ellie being on the phone together while Kendall was apologizing for springing Olivia onto Ellie so randomly. So far, filming has gone well but it is far from done. Still more things to film blog. Now my group and I need to come up with another filming day where filming can be done at night and a lot of night scenes can be covered as well as visiting a school during the day to film some school scenes. I will keep you updated of when this date should be. Bye for now blog.

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...
