The Start Of Production


Today, my group and I had our very first production day. We have had planned to film this day for about a week or two. It was very hard to make this day due to all of our busy schedules. My mom left the house before the girls arrived because she had to go to church, but she had left snacks and drinks for us to have. Hannah, Briana, and Mila arrived at my house around 3pm. Maria had a soccer game at 4, so she arrived at around 6pm and showered after she arrived. While Maria was at her game, Hannah, Briana, Mila, and I worked on the scenes that didn't include Maria. We were able to get most of the scenes that Maria was not a part of done. When Maria arrived and finished showering, we got straight to work. We began about 30 minutes after she got here. We made sure that all the parts we filmed earlier, looked good and that all the important details were included. My group and I made sure we had all the props we needed and included in the right scenes. We knew our props, costumes, and locations were core parts to this final task. This is because without the props, the audience wouldn't feel the suspense that come with these items or the locations because some scene will be taken at night and some during the day. We need to make sure they are filmed in the right times that are needed. We also focused on filming many of the scenes that took place in my room. My group and I were able to be productive and complete most of the videos. We completed around three to four pages of the storyboard we had planned. We were proud to say that we believe that we only need one filming day left. We worked very well and were very productive!

Some of the fonts we were planning on using in our film include Alta California , IM FELL Double Pica SC, and Juniper Std. For Alta California, we would use it when we show our names. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Hannah and Mila.” It is a sticker-like decorative font that has a rugged look to it. It relates to the film we are creating because it is a story about a girl who has a rugged life and mentality. Also, the font has a youthful feeling attached to it which correlates to how the film is made about teenagers. It also has a scary and mysterious feeling to it, which matches the overall tone of the film. It relates to our thriller genre and emphasizes the mood that we are trying to implement.  For IM FELL Double Pica SC, we would use it for the title descriptions. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Edited by.” It is a serif small caps font with a rugged, traditional, and sophisticated appeal...

Music Changes

Today, we spent time picking new music. We messaged Khalid a while ago and he still hasn't seen ut. Since Khalid hasn’t answered our messages, so we didn’t to have any other artist options. My group and I didn’t think Frank Ocean would respond back or even on time. Because of that, we didn't attempt to message him. We started looking for some royalty free music. However, none of the options were good enough for our film in our opinion. We kept finding other ways that we can use so that the music would be good. Since we think music is one of the most important parts of the film. We found some potential ideas. We thought of the idea of remixing a song, so that it wouldn’t be copyrighted. We started editing the song we originally had which was "Coaster." We editing the speed and the sounds in the background to see if we can still use it. My group and I really wanted to use this song, so we are trying our best to make it work. After a lot of time, we made it possible for ...
