Trouble!!

Hello guy,

it is not a very good day, I realized that we are already in March and we haven't filmed a single scene for our project. All of our schedules are extremely busy and we never have time to meet. I understand that we have to create time but it is very difficult, we need to film this project and edit it many factors have to be done and with Springbreak coming it's going to get harder. I talked to Val and Juli and hopefully, we can film next Monday but on a good note we have all our actors, now the only things left to do is film.

I'm hoping we can figure out the scheduling problem and hopefully, we can meet next week to film as much as possible. We did add a scene to our film opening and it's when both cri's meet each other without knowing their lives will change and I'm excited about that scene. Here is a google doc's we created with our character development and a tiny outline of scenes. I really want to start filming before I leave for my competition that way I can be here and record the moment,

that is all for today guys, I;m sorry my blogs have been short I haven't really been inspired but they will change and they will be better than ever 

A Script

Hello everybody! I hope everyone is having a happy Friday.

Now let's discuss the script, our film opening is going to have a few dialogue scenes at the beginning and end of our opening. The script I'm showing is the opening scene one and through this script, our film will start developing from there on I hope you like it

We don't have the script for the end, even up till now I don't think we are going to add one but that is something we still have to discuss.

Help was needed

Hi, loves!!
I hope everyone is having a great day!  I know I am! After an exhausting day in school and nonstop thinking on how to fix our film opening, Mrs. Stocklosa blessed my day with group meetings these meetings helped me re-think which way my group and I wanted to go with this project. I realized that we were overcomplicating our opening scene. After talking with my group, they told me to not overthink the scene and make it simple, my teacher also advised us to have them do regular teenage stuff as in one girl could be doing homework while the other one is on her phone. My group also gave an excellent idea of how to end the scene, they gave me the idea to have music faded in the background and as our film is ending the music crescendos and our tittle pops out.

These group meetings truly helped me out with ideas. Now I know how  I want this project to look. I feel that we have enough scenes to make it seem long, we still have to work some scenes out and add more to be able to properly develop it. It was honestly a great experience it giving out ideas and receiving them. Those were honestly all the problems I had now I just have to get together with my group and start filming!!

Character development

Hellooo!

WOW ok so I'm excited because we finally developed our characters for the film, we have names and a rough image of how they will look and their aesthetic.

Character #1

Cris(female)

This is our main character and yes it does say female because there will be two Cris a female one and male one, Now why is that? it's because it develops our story with our idea. Cris is Outgoing/ambivert, Artistic , Homebody,90’s, Brown Curly hair, Brown eyes these are all characteristics that describe our main character. Cris's personality is very different from her best friend and that's what makes it great because it's a contrast between characters.

This is somewhat her aesthetic would look like to put an idea out there

Male Cris

He is the antagonist and the trouble maker he is considered a Drugdealer has a Bad reputation he is a Trouble maker and he is the head of a drug ring. He is the cause of the problems of Female Cris and the reason as to why our film opening will develop the way we want it to.

This the aesthetic Cris would fall on with the whole rebel vibe and the bad attitude

Our las character is Aria she is considered Quirky, Outgoing, Always ready for an adventure, Life of the party. She is very different from Cris she is your typical party girl who makes the wrong choices without knowing she's making them.

This would be her look she is very girly and indeed popular but always stay with her friend Cris supports her. These two are a dynamic duo you won't see too often 

well loves that's all for today see you next blog!

The music

A LOOOONG PROCESS!!!!

So, I'm back and we finally sent our request to the song that we need for our film opening, it was such a long process and it wasn't as easy as we thought it was more complicated.

We had to go through many searches and websites just to find the right email but we found it. The music is own by universal music and we had to fill a whole sign up to allow permission to use the song( the song is called: Holy Moly Donut Shop) the artist of this song is Blueface, we wanted to use this song because it fits perfectly with our story. Now, it's all about waiting for the song to get approved in order to use it in the meantime we will be filming really soon and I'll post about it and our progress of it

This is a short blog today but get excited for the next few weeks for longer and better blogs

The boring scenes

THIS IS SO HARRRRD!!!!!

So, I thought this project was going to be easy but it's not I didn't take in mind that there was going to be so much planning and thinking and ugh! We had an idea as a group and it's the one we are using but the hard part is developing it. Creating the scenes and not making them boring or cliche is hard because we wanna attract the attention of the audience and not make them feel bored.

So we talked to our teacher, There was a scene we had trouble with due to it being too typical and too short, after brainstorming ideas we came up with a few scenes that would help our film opening. We still have lots of progress to do and little time, we have lots of scenes to discuss and filming to do we aren't being very organized and we are making things harder on us by taking too much time and prioritizing other things rather than the project.

So far, all I know is that we are meeting Wednesday to start filming and hopefully it will be easier. One of the scenes we wanna do is in a room and multiple shots of the decoration around the room with the two girls on the bed then our scene continues. 

Donuts and money laundering!?

Ok so I know our the tittle pf this blog post might seem kind of weird and it is but it's a fun kind of weird, now hear me out through the few days that I've been working on this project it has been hard at first to find an idea to work on, once we chose the genre it seemed hard to think of something that wasn't too cliche or too obvious. One night I was at a friends house and it was late at night, I was having too much fun to even think about the project but then I got a call from my partner Valeri, she called me to tell me about the most insane and weird idea she had for our project, she called it "Free Donut Day" I seriously thought for a moment that she was joking but she wasn't her idea was different and weird, so I told her to explain it to me and she did, she explained this whole story of how our film was going to be based on a robbery in a donut shop and yes it seems weird but I was into it.

"Free Donut Day"
Now, our story is based on a young girl who wanted a donut and her friend told her that it was free donut day(hence the title) these two girls decided to get donuts and when they got there it seemed like a robbery had happened and one of the girls got framed. I don't want to say the whole film cause it would seem that I'm giving you all the answers but this is pretty much how it would go. Now, many are going to ask "how do you plan to develop this storyline?" and to be honest I have no idea, it seems like a weird story but I'm down for it I wanna see where this story takes my group and me.

we have already decided who our main actress is going to be, our friend Anya volunteered to help us develop this story and she's the one who is going to be our lead, I do feel that it's going to be hard to work around a schedule in which we can all meet up and working with other people is going to be hard but we do have our set in which we want to work in.

set #1

we want to use this dunkin' donut as our set in order to film, this means we would have to talk to the manager to allow us to film inside and outside, this is a process in which puts us in a situation in which we have to use our communication skills,

so far this is the only set we have so far but a video is soon coming on how we searched for places and on our meetings and filming time.

hope to see you on the next blog
