We didn't get the song 😭💔

Hey guys, so it has been a few weeks into our project and we never got an email back form universal saying that they approve us to use the song, this means that we have to find other music as a backup.

Not having the song we wanted is disappointing but we can't let that bother us, we have to look for other songs that fit the image of our film, which is going to be hard but we'll find it. So far, none of the songs I've looked into have caught my attention they are all so repetitive and sound the same. The song we want has to carry on the film and have an impact, the song is a big part of our film just like set-design costume design, scripts, actors, and camera movements the song play the big part.

I know I'm gonna be spending the next few days trying to find the right song and when I do I'll let you guys know! This is a big obstacle in the development of our film but I know that I can let this stop me from paying attention to the other roles in the film.

For those curious, the song we wanted was "Holy moly donut shop" by Blueface.

well loves that's it for today I'll keep you updated if I find any songs that we like!

Distributing our film!?

Hello, guys, I hope everyone is having a great Wednesdays!!!!

I'm excited to comment that these next few posts will be better than ever! Today I want to talk about the distribution of our film and the platforms that we want to use in order to promote it. Now, this is not an easy task, distributing our film isn't as easy as it might seem in movies or in ads. There are many platforms to be used for distributing films but not all of them are easy and won't accept you for the first time.

One of these platforms would be Youtube, this is the #1 distributor platform and it's used by many people by putting our film on Youtube we have a great chance to attract a certain audience that's interested in out film genre. But with youtube, we also run the chance for our movie to take long recognition because not many people are going to see it in their youtube.

Either way, we plan to distribute this film the best way we can without spending too much money due to us being Highschool students. Putting our film out there gives us a chance to get recognized for our work and this is one of the steps into signing with a company which won't happen so fast it will take time and we would have to make more projects in order for us to be recognized by a pic film company.

Another platform we could use is Twitch which has the same functions as Youtube and allows our product to be put out there. This platform also makes tons of money and with putting our film we could get lots of money to further out continue the film.


well loves that's it for today's blogs can't wait to see you on the next blog

Equipment!?

Helloooooooooooo!

I got good news, we have our equipment to start filming our openings and it's the most exciting thing ever!! Juli one of my group members is bringing the equipment such as a Steadicam and lighting.

Light

Steadicam



I have a tripod so I'll be bringing one for the camera we are using.


Val will be bringing a canon camera, so far these all the equipment we need for the moment being. Since we have our equipment like mentioned before now we have to find time to film because we need to have enough time to edit and do our CCR.

That is all for today, I'll continue to keep you guys updated if anything changes

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!
