Hello everyone, welcome to my final production level blog! In this blog I will be discussing overview of the commercial, as well as the process behind it. First off I want to commend David and I for completing our commercial and I will say there is a huge amount of relief from completing this project. This commercial was David and I's first ever production so adapting to this process can be quite vigorous so to have completed this feels like a huge weight being lifted! This project definitely put a test on my group but the experience was well needed and earned. Communication and cooperation were tested, as well as breaking a strong need to have control and work alone which was very prevalent in David and I. We had to break our habits and learn to work as a team which was important. David and I both were able to teach each other new aspects of production which helped improve our ability to work together as a team. I was able to help David direct the commercial, and David was able to help me pick up on editing. I believe we work very well together and a major takeaway I got from the project was the power of cooperation. Overall I am happy yet relieved that we were able to complete this project, it was a hard process because it was our first, but I look forward to completing more projects yet to come, thank you!

Filming Time

Image
 Hi everyone! Welcome to my eighth production blog. So far throughout the film so much is gone on. From recasting actors, to tone of location changes, to work schedules, my actors and I have remained settled. We have now reached filming, we only had one day so we decided to film the opening scene at Wilton Creamery. The scene is the ice cream shop is the scene where Jasmine finds out her boyfriend Elijah is cheating on her with Laura. Jasmine is supposed to be going on a date with elijah. Elijah then suddenly cancels on Jasmine, she’s then upset for a little but goes on with her day. Jasmine a little bummed still wants to get ice cream, so she goes to Wilton Creamery anyway. Upon walking to Wilton Creamery, Jasmine sees Elijah in the window eating ice cream with Laura. Upon seeing this infidelity, Jasmine is taken aback and runs around the corner in shock crying. This scene is also where the kissing scene between Laura and Elijah. Now as much as I love my them, but we had to shoot ...

Another Hiccup

Image
 Hi everyone! Welcome to my twelfth production blog. While things were going smoothly. Of course there was another hiccup. The big cheating scene I raved about completing, of course it was incorrect. Of the many errors in the scene I would accept such as noise in the background or people moving too much, I made the worst and most simple mistake. I shot the video vertically. honestly this has made me quite upset. As much fun as this film was, I am honestly so ready to move on from it. I love AICE Media and it’s been a fun two years taking the course but my oh my this film has been very consuming. Since today is Friday, I do have to wait almost a week to continue filming. Due to scheduling the only days designated to film were Tuesdays through Thursdays. Hopefully Elijah, Jasmine, and Laura can all make it. But it’ll all be okay. One thing I am reassuring myself of is that spring break is near so I’ll be able to utilize more than 3 hours 3 days a week to get things moving. Honestly, ...

Almost There

Image
 Hi everyone! Welcome to my 11th production blog. Finally almost there! So far, I would call this film journey fun, eventual, and mildly torturous. The main scenes needed for this film are the cheating scene, the park scene, the pre breakup scene, and the break up scene. Due to location issues, scenes that took place in Laura and Jasmine’s bedroom were done a little unconventional but in the end, the worked out. The scenes before the breakup scene, what i call the pre breakup scene, were filmed by Laura and Jasmine independently. Now, i think it’s appropriate for me to reveal the breakup scene. As discussed a few blogs back, I needed an element of chick flick drama. Since the film is a drama, I needed a dramatic confrontation/breakup scene to top it all off. The break up scene involves both Jasmine and Laura asking Elijah out to a dinner date. With both girls being so persuasive, Elijah ultimately agrees to two back to back dates. The plan is for Elijah to arrive at the restaurant ...
