Finally Planning to Film

     We finally set a day to film! This thursday, which is an early release day, Kaitlyn, lauren, and I are going to start filming for the second scene. Both Kaitlyn and Lauren aren't going to school that day. They asked me to not go to school either, so that way we could start filming earlier, but I have to go to school anyway. I have a mandatory test to take in one of my classes, so I can't skip school that day. So, we planned to have them film Lauren's news reporter scenes before I got there. Then, after taking the bus home, I could go to Lauren's house and we could film the second scene. Kaitlyn made sure to tell me to study my lines on the way home on the bus, and I agreed. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to stay long, because I have a water polo game after school and have to be there by 4:30 PM. I originally planned to pack the stuff I needed to bring in a bag and bring it with me to school. But, I found out that fortunately, my mom was going to be home, I could go there first and then just bring them to Lauren's when my mom dropped me off. This was definitely more ideal than having to take an extra bag and carry it around all day at school. It also meant I wouldn't have to walk to Lauren's house from the bus stop. My mom agreed to drive me there after I grabbed the stuff I need from my house. My mom had taken the day off so she could be at my game which is why she would be home. If it had been normal practice, I probably would have just skipped it to film. But this was the last game of the season and I couldn't miss it. So the night before, I plan to make sure i have most of the stuff I need to bring to Lauren's house ready. I'm bringing the outfit I need for the second scene, along with the outfit for the funeral scene just in case. I also packed some of my makeup and other tiny necessities.

      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...

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 gettin...
