Intro Blog

  My name is Sofia, and welcome back to my blog! I'm in 10th grade and I am 16 years old. Again, I'm taking this class mainly because I know it is a good class to have under your belt for college, and the course itself seemed pretty interesting. I do only one sport, which is swimming; I do year-round club swimming for my city and I also am on my school's swim team. Iv'e actually just recently joined my school's water polo team, just to try it out (it's pretty fun so far!). In all honesty, I don't get much free time, but when I do, I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, and doing things with my friends and my dog Loui. I don't have a favorite movie, but I am a HUGE MCU fan, so I consider all marvel movies my favorite movies. As for my dog Loui, he is the cutest thing in the world. He's a white Maltese, and I don't know what I would do without him (his birthday is on Halloween). I'm actually allergic to dogs, but I'm completely okay with getting allergies a couple times a week if it means we get to keep him. He was the only thing keeping me company during quarantine last year with online school. Last year was a bit tough due to the drastic change in regular school procedures, but I was able to get through it, and it was all thanks to him. Anyway, I am really excited for this school year, mainly because it's practically my first REAL year of normal high school. Mostly, I need to better improve my work ethic. In the past couple years, procrastination has been a hug problem for me. It felt so easy to get distracted; to forget about school and act like it wasn't a big deal. This year, I plan on getting a better handle on my ability to focus and get things done in time. I am truly looking forward to this class. It feels good to have things somewhat back to normal. I hope that things only get better from here on out. I genuinely enjoy going to my classes and getting things done. It makes me feel like I've taken back control of my life, and I intend to make the most out of it.

Music Production Blog

      Today, my group and I talked talked about music that was best for our film. We considered asking permission to use a song, but figured that'd be too complicated. It is much easier and simpler to use basic royalty free music online. I was looking for places to find music that would be royalty free, and ultimately opted to looking a site called FreePD.com. Searching with my partners, we were able to find some music that we felt would go with the mood of the movie. Choosing a couple of the songs was definitely a longer process, mainly due to having to go through so many available choices, but fortunately, we were able to narrow down our favorites. “Big Eyes” by Rafael Krux will be playing towards the end of scene 2, all of scene three, and a little bit of scene four. Then “Lonely Mountain” as by Rafael Krux will enter in scene five. But towards the middle “Big Eyes” would come back and start playing again subtly in the background. The last scene, sc...

More Into Filming

     To add onto what I said in my previous blog, we had to make some changes to the scene once we started filming it. While we were filming, we made a few changes from what we had on the script. It was simply change in dialog, as we felt what we originally had just didn't feel right and didn't look the way we wanted it to. It's also what took away most of our time, after taking so long on the makeup like I said before. The scene was originally supposed to have some more dialog, and once we tried filming it a couple of times, it just wasn't feeling right. It was getting a bit frustrating, especially since we barely had any time left before I had to leave. We finally took a second to stop filming and watch over the scene. We starting thinking of what else we could say in the scene that would make it better. After a little while, I suggested that we just say nothing at all. It would make the scene more impactful if we stayed silent, as we were meant to be upset and distra...
