Elijah Our Saving Grace



 Hi everyone! Welcome to my fifth production blog! The objective of today’s blog is a continuation of my casting issue. 

Last blog I spoke about an incident dealing with my casting. This was upsetting at first since I really needed to get actual film production started. After searching the entire Fort Lauderdale High, I wasn’t really successful which I honestly expected. Throughout searching, I kept finding that boys thought the movie was “girly” or they apparently didn’t have the time. Another factor I think contributed to the lack of boys participating is because I have a kissing scene in the film. Of course I will abide by what is appropriate for the this film with nothing explicit done. However, the scene will simply be something quick and simple, more like a pop kiss and less like a french kiss lol. Now I want to note, this doesn’t mean that Laura and Jasmine aren’t beautiful, but I understand the shock and now wanting to kiss a stranger. So after spending two days searching for a new male love interest, I contacted Laura and Jasmine and we started searching for more potential actors together. Last blog I mentioned that my school was conducting the musical Matilda, leaving us a pool of actors to go through. After careful consideration we all simultaneously thought of a great idea. We thought of using Elijah! Elijah is a junior who is in the Matilda musical casted as Mr. Wormwood, Matilda’s father. I’ve seen the musical and the character Elijah plays has plenty of lines, songs, and choreography and Elijah has mastered them for the most part. This is beneficial since this means he’s able to rehearse and memorize lines in time to begin filming. Elijah is tall, he’s a teenager, and most importantly he’s a mutual friend of Me, Jasmine, and Laura meaning he has the perfect chemistry for both. I’m excited for this film to begin and i’m glad Elijah has made it all work out, and thankfully he’s okay with the kissing scene!

Group Blog

 Hello everyone, welcome to my second blog post, my Group Blog! For my upcoming project, I am choosing to take the route of working alone. Working in groups is not something that I am opposed to, however I want to take the time to evaluate myself and interpret the material before I branch out into collaborating with others. Through the process of curating my first Media Studies project, I want to take the solitude to truly take in the process of going from and creating my idea, to giving a treatment, to writing up my script and storyboard, to then making said film. I will say I do enjoy having creative freedom in the things I create which drives me to want to work solo. having the ability to use whatever idea that comes to my mind as well as having total control, within project guidelines of course, of what I create and how I go about editing, acting, or producing upon sound enticing to me. I will say that working alone does have its' downsides. When working alone you don't get...

Another Hiccup

 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, ...

 Hello everyone, welcome to my Planning Blog! In this blog the general commercial plan will be discussed for my Gatorade Protein Bar commercial partnered with David Brown! The general overview of the commercial is to portray our core athlete, David Brown, who will be a track star consuming the bar before he begins his sprint along the track. The commercial begins by a wide shot zooming in capturing David doing some stretches and setting up the track obstacles to prepare for his sprint. The next scene will cue to David eating the bar while looking victorious in the face getting ready to run the track. David then sets the bar down on a table and moves away. After this another wide shot scene will play out with David in his starting stance preparing to dash the track. The scene will continue with David dashing the track, and then the shot will zoom back on the bar with the Gatorade logo appearing in the screen. going For our costume, David's track uniform will be used along with his r...
