Welcome back to my blog. After completing a product what comes next? Yup, the CCR which is what this blog is completely about. I choose to do it as an interview and ended up not using Julie Sanon as the voice asking me questions. Well here it goes.

Welcome back to my blog. Like my other projects you've followed me along it's time to see how this one turned out. Overall, I think we did a good job for students who had to film on their phones and had no prior experience before this year. I've learned a lot this year and I would definitely recommend this class to others. That's all for now Au Revoir.  

 Welcome back blog. For some reason good things never seem too long for me. Previously in my other blogs i explained how it was looking so good. Saint realized today that the movie was wayyyy longer than what the limit was. We tried trimming and trimming and speeding up the credits but it still wasn’t long enough. No matter how much we tried it originally we just couldn’t get it into the 2 minute mark. Sydney out of no where came up with a great idea. She said why don’t we completely rearrange the movie and only add the important clips of us talking. So that’s what Saint did she added the kidnapping scene and us at the mall at the beginning. She added a little thing so the viewers can know what happened and the change of scenery. She sped through the none important parts and trimmed it down. Originally there were a lot of clips of us just talking that didn’t add to the scene. The only thing I don’t like now is how this first 2 minutes pretty much tell the whole movie. It doesn’t gi...

 Welcome back to my blog. All the fun and exciting parts and things are done. Only thing left now is for Saint to add the finish editing touches and getting it peer reviewed. From what I’ve seen the movie doesn’t seem choppy. The clips bounce smoothly from one to another. The sound also lined up nicely and it didn’t look like we were stuttering or anything. I hope Saint doesn’t realize anything wrong with our clips. If she does find mistakes I hope they sent big ones. If they’re small ones we have enough time to fix them or leave them as they are. If they’re big ones I work everyday this week except Monday. Hopefully she finds the mistake before then so we’d have enough time to either come together and fix it or enough time for us to fix it separately at home. I’m already starting to think of the next step, the CCR. Writing them out has already been hard enough. I feel as if making them into a video will only make the task much harder. I might completely write down a script and tha...

 Welcome back to my blog. I can no longer procrastinate on getting the blogs done. I realized what the date was and how time was slowly closing in on me. I realized I didn’t have a lot of time to procrastinate. Today having 5 brothers finally came in clutch. In more common terms they were definitely a huge help. Like I stated in the last blog where I talked about my personal parts, I would need a helping hand. To refreshen your memory there were clips where I couldn’t just set the phone up. I needed an actual cameraman to move the camera around. For example there was a part where a pan shoot was involved, I couldn’t hold the camera and act. Usually I would get someone in my group to help. I sometimes even may resort to one of my close friends. Surprisingly my brothers decided to help. I say surprisingly since they’re the same boys who refuse to take me to the store down the street. That day we shot the pan shot and the low angle shot of me at the beginning. I had already shot those...

Welcome back to my blog. I haven’t recorded since last time so this blog will be mainly about what happened at the mall. It wasn’t fair of me to not go into detail about what happened. Working with these ladies was fun the first time. Working with them this time was funnier since we had to act. Since we’re in a pandemic and have to wear make it helped cover up our mistakes a little. In some clips we started laughing and making faces but the fact we had to wear mask to stay safe saved the clips. Watching them stumble over lines and trying to ignore the camera made the experience so fun. None of us will be on Hollywood anytime soon. The mall wasn’t really packed yet it also felt as if everyone was walking in and out them doors. Which caused us to move from one entrance to a another one. For starters remembering lines to the T is way harder than it looks. Now I understand why most actors say their scenes were improvised during the movies. So the script and what we are saying won’t be exac...

   One small step for us, one giant step for the goal. Welcome back to my blog. We finally got the chance where all 3 of us were off and able to film the parts where we were all together. That’s right you guessed it we filmed our scenes at the mall. The mall wasn’t as packed as we expected though. Which is great, Covid is still very much a thing. The fact that only three of us were physically needed in-front the camera made this so much easier. Last time St. Flore cousin had to come and help us with the recording. Since Sydney wasn’t needed physical in-front of the camera, she stood behind it recording. We made sure to follow each box and each angle to the T. Filming with these ladies are always a blast. Last projected we worked on together came out good. Our goal for this one is for it to come out even better. We only strive for greatness in this group. We don’t have much time to re-record so we couldn’t risk it. Whenever St. Flore starts to edit hopefully she doesn’t find an...

 Welcome back to my blog. As predicted Spring Break was a blast, but not much time to do things relating to the movie. During the break I went to visit my future college, Florida International University. I also spent time with Family and friends. Even though the school year is almost over, I needed a break from all the stress of school. I also spent most of the break working. The day is near though. The day were everyone set every other plan aside so we can record the parts needed together. Since the movie deadline is slowly approaching us. We need to stop postponing it. We need to give ourselves times to reshoot clips if need be. We'll most likely need to reshoot clips since we usually forget to shoot certain things the correct angles. We also need to stop postponing it because we never know how much time St. Flore will need to edit the movie all together. Since I edited the last project we worked on together, the music video, I know how much work goes into it. Picking the right ...

  Welcome back to yo my blog. As I already predicted I haven’t had time to record since the last blog.     Also as predicted my group and I have agreed on a date to film the scenes together. March 30th thats the day.     Thats the day we’ve collectively agreed on. Unlike the previous days we’ve had this one has to be productive. We can’t afford to waste another day. If we wait any longer the clips wont be recorded and edited in time. We also need to do it to leave enough time to do do peer reviews. I’ll probably do some of my own clips before that day. Even though we’re supposed to be taking a break during spring break. Majority of the group already made plans for the break. Some of us also have part time jobs. Hopefully we can find a day where we can spare a couple hours. If we can’t then everything that includes all of us will have to be done on the 30th.     That date can’t change we’re already on crunch time. Thats all for today blog. Au revoir. ...

Welcome back to my movie production blog. Another few days gone to waste. It’s none of our fault. We all had something to do. I had to take care of my sick sister all weekend. Time is going by fast and we need to figure out a way to film. The more and more we wait the less time we have. I’ve worked with these ladies before and I believe my group and I will figure it out. Only a few weeks left to record. It may be tough since I have to study for the ACT. Everyone else in the group and myself included also have a part time job. So between school and our jobs It’ll be tough. I am going to try and set up a film date. This date i set up I’ll try my hardest to set it in stone. We desperately need to hurry up and finish so we can start our peer reviews. If we don’t start filming and editing more soon this movie will not be as good as we want it to be. My group and I work well under pressure though lets see if we can turn coal into diamonds. The schedule will be figured out by then. We also re...

  Welcome back to my blog. I’ve finally started recording my clips for the movie. I don’t know how I thought I would of recording and acted at the same time. For the clip where my phone was on my bed I could do that by myself . I also recorded the scene where I picked up the phone and answered it. That one took a couple tries I didn’t want it to be too noticeable that I was holding my recording device in my other hand. I tried setting my phone up to do the other scenes and it was okay.  For example the eye level shot was okay. Could it be better ? Definitely, which is why I will try to record it on another day. However, some of them I know for a fact I will not be able to record them myself. For example the pan shot. I have a habit of mixing up a tilt and a pan. Today i wanted to get more filming done but I’ll take what I can. The day I have someone come over and help me record the rest of my clips, I’ll make sure to record it going in the right direction. I’ll also make sure ...

Welcome back to my blog. On the schedule it said my recording day was March 5,2021. However, in my production blog 1, I did suspect  I wouldn’t have enough time on that day to film. Turns out my intuition was right.  So today March 8, 2021 was the day I would of did this even though it’s not on the schedule.  Today I originally planned on getting through all my scenes that involved me by myself. Once I started to record I realized that during the planning stage i should have put more thought into the exact things that will be happening in each scene. We also should have throughly thought about the lengths of each part. We are only doing the opening scene so we most likely will end up needing to trim and remove some of what we end up filming. I started off in the order the storyboard planned it out. I did like 3 clips of my clips. However, I didn’t get to do any more clips since things do come up. Today unlike the others it wasn’t because of work. If it’s no...

     Welcome to the next step in my final task. They’re in the same order as my other task, so by now you should know what’s next. It’s time for my filming and editing blogs. We made a schedule and plan to stick to it as best to our ability. Our first filming day on there is the 5th , today is the 4th. So therefore I haven’t filmed yet and there’s nothing to edit. We probably should of  filmed before or on the 4th since we’ve been had the deadlines. There’s also another problem with our schedule that’d cause problems with or movie and blogs. I realized that I placed my filming day on a day on which i have to go to school. I also realized that i also have to work after school on that day.  I’ll try to at least get some clips done during my study hall period since I go to school from home. Filming and editing blogs for this task will not be as equal and as balance compared to the others. Since the Corona virus is still very much a thing we wanted to limit the amou...

    3/5/2021 Filming will begin. Sarah will film her clips that are of her at home. 3/9/2021 St. Flore will record the clips taken at her house. From there they will be edited together with Sarah clips. 3/12/2021 Julie will record the scenes that are taken at home and this will be edited into place with the ones of St. Flore and Sarah. 3/15/2021-3/16/2021 Sydney records the scenes at her house. Also record the scenes where she gets kidnapped. Today is a remarkably busy day since we’ll also be shooting the scene at the mall one of these days.
