The first day is always the worst


 Hey blog! Long time no see. Im going to be completely honest the first day filming terrible. My phone died, and my actors were not getting it together. It wasn’t that bad because we pulled our weight but I still needed a lot more footage to make up for. The mall was pretty crowded so we didn’t feel absolutely comfortable with filming and it was a school night so we needed to get home soon. My actors are older than me so sometimes they don’t feel the need to listen to my partner and I. I had a lot of trouble talking to them hut it was ok in the end. It was a little cold, and I was wearing short sleeve clothes so it was hard for me to focus on what needed to be focused on cause I kept complaining but it was fine. I honestly kept thinking about how much work I needed to get done, and all the editing. Also I was glad that I had a lot to talk about in my blog. It is pretty late, but at the end of day we got our first part done. David seemed to have a lot more fun then I did. He kept making fun of how grumpy I was, and it was annoying. Although he can be a little playful, he is still an excellent partner. He helped me get some good shots and made sure I stayed on task. Even though he wasn’t on task 55% of the time, he was still a big help. Just need to film a lot more but thats ok, this thursday I should have all of our footage. I hope this music video comes out excellent. It should be worth all the headache. Thats all for now, goodnight my loves.

 I really got to work on my blogging. It is very dumb how I keep slacking off from trying to get these blogs done. I also remembered that you’re not supposed to use the word “we” while blogging and that made me so mad. I used the word “we” so many times. I fail to keep you guys updated on this journey, that would be bad. I would cry myself to sleep. But yeah, filming has been pretty delayed and I’ve been trying to get some things together. I mean I already messed up on the filming process the first time and the second time and right now David and I are on the third time and just trying to get it done. By the way while typing this I use the word “we” three times and had to go back and delete it. It’s so crazy how I was just talking about having a trouble with using that word and then I used it while explaining the fact that I use it when I should not. I Set myself at a limit of at least 20 sentences for blog to entertain the audience. I really hate that I sent myself and it’s so har...

First filming day blog

 Today I started my filming for my water bottle commercial. I feel really confident in my project and I do think that it's going to do well. The person I was filming with was very cooperative and shared a lot of the same creative differences. I am working alone but I did need someone to film, so I asked my closest friend who happens to run track. The sun was hot but my clips were nice. I used some props from the shed out on the field so that I can have a nice video. My main prop was a water bottle but I had the blocks, and some spikes. I also had a sports bag to carry the spikes in and they were really nice. I couldn't  be happier with my project and I hope it turns out nicely and that I can edit this to the best of my ability. I was lucky to run into coach Martin to let me get into the shed and use the blocks because if he didn't, I would've been pissed. Thankfully we got into the shed though. The person that I was working with was really into my directing skills, whic...

The Motion of The Film

The process of the short film titled "A happy ending" or filming any film would need things like a location, props, actors, health and safety, costumes, a schedule and of course a backup plan. Schedule- As for schedule, we are still working on it. we wanted to finalize all filming and wrap up editing by the end of spring break so that when come time to turn in the short film, we are more than prepared. Location-For Location, we were thinking of filming in thee standard places. A supermarket(Publix), Nyla's house, a parking lot at Nyla's house, an a park with pretty lights. There will probably be other places like down the street but those will all be scenes leading up to arriving at those specific Locations. We plan on utilizing each location at different times of the day seeing as we want o use the lighting to help represent the characters emotion Participants- As of right now, our participants consist of Nyla, David, Nyla's mom, and Rashell. Of course David and ...
