Group Blog

 My group consists of 4 members. Kaya, Beckett, Sean, and I have been friends for a couple weeks now. We decided to all be together in one group because we knew that we could work collectively to make a good commercial. Although we are not experts in the film industry, we have brainstormed multiple times about how we want our 30 seconds to go. My group also has an outside group chat where we talk about the Film every day outside of school. I chose to work with them because I figured it would be hard to make a film alone. This is because you would have to do all the work. However, when you are in a group you can tag-team the tasks. I met Beckett last year on a Cambridge testing day. We both realized that we had multiple classes together. I met both Kaya and Sean this year because Beckett introduced me to them. Kaya and I have similar interests. I believe although we are all friends and make jokes, we can still be productive. This is due to the fact that we all care about our grades and Cambridge. We have already spoken about how we are going to take this project down. Each of us will have certain roles, if we execute them well, our film will be successful. I am beyond happy to be in this class. I am also beyond excited to work with my group for AICE media studies!

Backseat Difficulties-Filming Blog

As I stated previously, I was the one who recorded the film. Adding one more person (Addison) not including Sean’s dad to the cast and characters. This person was Addison. Due to there being so much people, filming the car scene was a little difficult. Thankfully Seans dad has a minivan. This minivan has multiple seats however it is still crammed when you are trying to film a video. Some issues I had with filming were trying to get everyone in the frame. This is because Beckett was on the left side and Sean was on the right side but there needed to be space in the middle so that Addison driving could be seen clearly. Although I do have experience with filming this was still tricky. However, with some adjustments that were made, I figured it out by using a wider angle with the phone. Another issue I had while filming was mother nature taking a toll. When we were filming there was great weather however it was windy. As most people know when wind hits the speaker of a phone it makes a dis...

Scheduling a film Schedule - Production Blog

Image
 When we first started filming, Me and Camille had to figure out how we were going to finish our film on time. Me and Camille are very busy, so it's critical that we plan out how we can film without interfering with any of our other activities. I have Water Polo and work after school, so I wouldn't be able to work on our film after school, so filming on the weekend is the only option. I had the bright idea of filming each of our individual parts in our spare time. Fortunately, the majority of the short film can be shot separately, with only a few scenes needing to be shot together. I will be filming my scenes at my house, while Camille will be filming hers at her house. Camille needs to film the scene where Courtney is at her house planning how she will embarrass Macie. She will eventually find an embarrassing picture of Macie, which she will then send to the entire school. I think Camilles mom is going to help her film this. My scenes will be shot at my home. I have to film so...

  Today, we are planning out our schedule for the first scene in our short film. The first scene of our film takes place at Macie’s house. We decided to shoot this scene at Camille’s house because it has a better set up for what we are looking for. When planning out what day we want to film, we both decided that it would be best to do it over the weekend since we are both very busy during the week. Julie will come over to my house around 11-12 pm to film the first scene. In this scene, Macie is getting ready for school. She will be “waking up” in my bed and getting ready for the day. Some of the props for this scene include a hairbrush, makeup, and for her costume, it will most likely be a plain shirt with either jeans or leggings to make it similar to what most highschoolers wear. Macie’s mom is also in this scene, so my mom will be able to play this part. If we have extra time, we may even film some of the other shots that may taken at my house. If something ends up changing, or ...
