Research Time

 HI everyone! Welcome to my second production blog. Today, the objective is to talk about the research I did on various films to pick up elements to remember in my film.

My film is a drama about two teenage girls who find out their boyfriend is cheating on them, hence the title name, "Our Boyfriend." Jasmine is a shy, feminine, and nerdy girl who has been dating her boyfriend Joseph for 9 months. Their relationship has been filled with love and trust, basically perfect until one day, Jasmine discovers Joseph is dating another girl, Laura; Laura is an edgy, dark feminine girl, the total opposite of Jasmine. Once Jasmine discovers her boyfriend's infidelity, she takes it upon herself to contact Laura leading the two to team up and confront Joseph.

I want my film to be the ultimate drama "chick flick," my vision stems from a good Lifetime movie. My target audience is teenage girls so I want to create a movie that grasps that attention. In order to capture the perfect scope of making a teen drama movie, I decided to do some research on movies similar in plot or vibe to my film. Although we did conduct prior research on various drama films, I feel that the films I researched had very loose relation to my film. The only real similarities between the films I researches and my film was the genre. 


The first film I reviewed was the Lifetime movie "He's Not Worth Dying For," released in 2022. The film details the story of two girls, Isla and Grace who end up falling for the same guy, a key point of my film. Yet, instead of the two teaming up like in my film, they engage in a social media war filled with animosity ending with the film turning near fatal. Although the film went off course from my plot, it still captured the element of teenage drama that I want in my film. The use of social media terminology and trends in the appearances of the actors helped capture the teen aspect. Uses of words like "bae" helped this as well.

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...
