Production Blog 9 - SAT Troubles

 Hi everyone! Welcome to my ninth production blog. Luckily I was able to get started on filming which was my main priority. I’m a little behind schedule and that really threw me off. While I did have a handle on everything by beginning filming, I got a little thrown off again. I’m a junior in high school and although standardized tests are what I’m used to right now, it’s time for the dreaded SAT. Once again, another road block from completing my film. As much as I would love to continue filming, under these circumstances I can’t. The SAT isn’t just any test. This is the test that helps me get into college and possible determine a large portion of my life. As I have been doing for a week now, the SAT is in 4 days so i pretty much have to take a small hiatus from filming and study. I have just realized still have about a month until my package has to be turned in which is okay. I trust that once SAT season is over, I will get right back on track.

Location Disputes

 Hi everyone! Welcome to my sixth production blog. Honestly, school and life are getting incredibly hectic and i’m getting a little restless with this film. I know I have time so I plan to be a little lenient with timing, yet disciplined enough to meet my deadline. Today’s blog I will be doing a location check. So far with my film I’m about 80% okay and 20% mildly panicked. As far as scripts, promo, and filming time but, location is where I fall short. The issue with my team is that we all live such considerable distances and have such busy schedules. As far as living goes, the distance already stresses me. The only common ground we have is Fort Lauderdale High. Ironically, the only location we have in common is the one location we aren’t allowed to film at. Laura and I are the only ones with proximity to each other. Laura and I both live in Davie which is good for us. However Jasmine and Elijah also have a location difference since Elijah lives in Lauderhill and Jasmine lives in Marga

 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

 Coming of age films are drama films that typically portray the moral growth of the main character from youth to adulthood, or a more matured state of mind. C.A.M.S (camera angles, movement, shots) - close up angles:  Coming of age films want to strongly present the range of emotions the character goes through as the develop and mature. Close up angles help to produce this by giving close ups to the character's face emphasizing these portrayed emotions.  - cut away camera movements:  Cut aways are camera movements that show the bigger objective shot of the scene then cut to individual important objects in the scene. When emphasizing a character, a big group will be shown as the entirety of the scene picture the it will cut away to the one character, typically our main character to emphasize the contrast and focus of them.  - two shots:  Whether closely angled or angled far away, two shots are crucial for coming of age films in scenes where a significant romance, friendship, or conf
