Group Blog: New Crew




Hello and welcome back to my blog! For my short film, I decided to partner with three of my friends: Andres, Yasmin, and Marvin. Together I’m certain we will make a great film and put in a lot of hard work.  Let me introduce you to each of my group members. 

Andres is one of the people I decided I wanted to work with. I met Andres my freshman year in my law class. It was here that I learned how creative he was, which I knew would be perfect for making a interesting and entertaining film. My suspicions were confirmed when I saw the the amazing and sometime hilarious work he produced in AS Level Media. He is super kind, smart, and knows how to think outside the box. Because of this, I decided he was perfect for my group. 

Yasmin is another one of the people I wanted to work with. Like Andres, I met Yasmin my freshman year in my law class. However, we got closer in my sophomore year when she joined the mock trial team. Yasmin is know for her mind blowing intelligence and her dedication to her work. I knew she would be perfect for making sure everyone stayed on task while working on this film. 

Finally, Marvin is the last person in my group. I met Marvin in middle school and we’ve been friends since. We both have a passion for law and mock trial. I worked with him last year to film my commercial, and he was a great group member. Marvin loves photography and is really good at filming and will be great for figuring out creative angles to film with. He always knows how to lighten the mood, even when in a stressful situation.

Now that I’ve found my group, I can’t wait to start the process of preparing for my film. Thank you for tuning in. This is Kyra signing off!

Planning Blog: Storyboard

  Hello and welcome back to my blog! Page One: The film starts with a teenage girl, named Hailey, being awoken by the sound of her blaring alarm clock. An eyeline match then cuts to a close up of the alarm clock. A title is placed above it before she hits snooze. Next, a close up of shows Hailey’s feet as she steps out of bed. She stretches to wake up before yelling out to her mom. When she hears no response, she decides to stumble into her bathroom to get ready.  Page Two: Once in the bathroom, Hailey bends over into the sink to wash her face. A title is placed above her head. After washing her face, she examines in the mirror before leaving the bathroom. Using a tracking shot, the teen is followed out into the hallway where she calls out for her mother again. A title is placed on the closed bathroom door. Hailey then peers out into the hall using an over the shoulder shot. A title is shown on the wall beside her. A pan is used to show the empty living room, which prompts a f...

Review Blog: The Final Touches

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My journey through this music video process has been an interesting one, but it is now coming to an end. However, we still had one last issue. Something was missing from our editing in our music video, but we weren't sure what it was.  At first, I thought it was clip lengths. Maybe the scenes were too long and therefore making the video seem boring or uninteresting. When I rewatched the video, I realized it wasn't the length, but instead the editing. I brought this up to my group members and they agreed that we needed to add another editing technique to our video. After some deliberation, we decided to add a split screen at the beginning of the video. This split screen would allow us to show more of the getting ready process in an easy and eye-catching way. It also wouldn't add any extra time to the video.  Now that the minor issues were resolved, it was time to review the video. While reviewing the video, I counted out all the mise en sce...

Update Blog: Far From Home

Hello and welcome back to my blog! This week I planned on continuing my filming process. The first thing I wanted to do was check out the filming location. I knew that the mall was abandoned, so I was concerned about getting inside and whether it was safe to go. However,  this week I am away on a school trip hours away from the  mall. This meant I wasn’t able to visit until I got back. So, before going to the mall, I decided to look for reviews from others who have.  The first place I went to was my friend who lived in Hollywood. He told me that he visited the mall some time back and that it was safe structure wise. However, I was warned about homeless people in the building. This caused some safety concerns for me, as I didn’t want to run into anybody who could be potentially aggressive or violent while filming. I alerted my group about this concern and we all decided to avoid filming in any part of the mall that had someone present.  The next thing I wanted to figu...
