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.

  Hey, welcome back! In commercials on donuts, there’s a mix of diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Diegetic sound is an important aspect. There is music in the back of each scene that fits the mood and appeals to the viewer. If characters are shown, then there’s dialogue used to move the scene along. A lot of the time there are voice overs that narrate about the coffee or food that’s shown. Ambient sound is background noise which can be heard as other characters in the background of the shop or just surrounding noise present. In certain commercials there’s point of view shots and eyeline matches, in which the camera is what the barista would be seeing and doing. There's a lot of high and low camera angles for dramatic effect, for example, when they are drizzling caramel or chocolate on top of the coffee or donut. There are a lot of close ups and zooms on the desired products to emphasize the food presented. There is a lot of cross cutting to different people in these commercials. Som...

 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...
