Redoing Basically Everything

 For the past couple days, I decided to take a break from my short film to take care of school work and rest. While the break was fun, it's time to get back to work. Last blog I discussed how my film had to undergo a massive plot change. After a moment of panic, I was luckily able to get my actors on board.

Despite successfully producing a story board with a well thought out plot, all of that was in a whim and I have yet to redo my plan for everything, location, script, safety plan, and backup plan so that's what will be discussed in this blog!

Actors: Laura Alcala, Jasmine Megnauth, Joseph Aguasviva

Locations: Laura Alcala's house - Davie, FL, Wolf Lake Park - Davie, FL, Menchie's - Davie, FL

Backup Locations: Richardson Park and Nature Preserve - Wilton Manors, FL, Wilton Creamery - Wilton Manors, FL


As for my script, I am the most panicked about that since I have less time to get everything done but I am faithful everything will work out perfectly. For the sake of time, I think I want to take the approach of involving the creativity of my cast to rewrite my script. Laura and Jasmine are both creatives who have participated in theater programs in the past. I plan to write a majority of the script but instead of having Laura and Jasmine rehearse lines and perform them verbatim, I plan to give them conversation context with certain lines and tone guidelines to keep film dialogue as natural as possible. As for Joseph, I am aware he doesn't have the best thespian abilities which is completely okay, the objective if to have the film resemble a real life situation so I'll just have to write him some real lines. 

I will be honest, working in a solo group is always twice as overwhelming that in a an actual group. I do enjoy the AICE Media class and its' content however, directing is not something I would view as a hobby or something I am good at so the conscious work ethic tends to takeover. I am thankful for my actors as they are strong-minded and creative people who are able to give me needed criticism and direction because sometimes the workload of a solo ran project can be a little much.

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...
