Plan of Action

 Hey guys, for this blog I'll be discussing our plans for the final task. More specifically, the schedule, location, health and safety, equipment, and possible participants. It'll be listed and then explained in the following paragraph.

 SCHEDULE:

-Shooting: DEC 13-15, 17-18, 22-23, JAN 4-6, 10-11, 17-19 

Back-up: DEC 22-23 JAN 10-14, 17-20

-Editing: week after shooting is done or during if we’re pressed on time

(January 21 through the 28)

     We plan to shoot in most of December starting our midterm week, from there we will try and film in intervals of about two days leading into January. We have some days that are marked for both initial shooting and back-up which will be mainly used as a review day to reshoot old scenes or follow into the next scenes.


LOCATION:

-Angel’s House

-Anya’s House 

-Danniella’s House (possibility)

-Outside Park (possibility)

-Office (possibility)

We plan on having our houses and only two easily accessible public spaces to shoot in. It's easier to use our own houses and change to match our setting. It's easier than finding a place to rent and shoot in and we agreed that it would be easier overall when it comes to transportation.


HEALTH AND SAFETY:

-Adults

-First Aid Kit

-Seatbelts

-Precautions

When it comes to Health and Safety we have our procedures from last year and because we have many more people working in our group that are minors we have more adults present in each location. Along with adults are participants will go over a set of rules to ensure safety and a first aid kit will be present at every location.



EQUIPMENT & PROPS (any possible props and costumes ahead of time)

-Camera

-Phone

-Tripod

-Mic (possibility)

-Car

-Costumes: black suits, dealer outfit, dresses/shirt and tie, makeup, ragged clothing

-Playing Cards

-Tables

-Decorations for set: liquor bottles, documents, envelopes, ashtrays, cigarettes, 

While this list isn't completed we have what we would consider the most important things that will be needed for this project. It is likely that we will need more things when we are starting to shoot that we haven't thought of yet. Then, we will get the items as needed.


PARTICIPANTS: 

-Anya Lucas

-Danniella Miller

-Angel Noriega


Angel’s Family & Friends:

Maryann

Michael 

Mom

Benjamin

Lucas (possibility)



Danniella’s friends and family:

Dad

Lana


Anya’s friends and family:

Mom

Track Team (possibility)


    This list isn't completed either because we aren't sure who can make it when needed for shooting and who else we need to add. These are the people we decided would be best for our cast and other people we can use as extra's. We added multiple people and groups from each candidate to keep our options broad and narrow down when we begin shooting. 



Here is me writing Anya and Angel's ideas out so we could have them all in one place.

Thanks for reading! Until next time, Danniella Miller.

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

Short film description:     A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work a...

Title Research: Lady Bird

 What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? This title sequence actually starts with the title of the movie and is a bit of a way into the movie. Instead of being at the very beginning like some of the other movies I've watched in this genre, this title sequence is at the end of the opening minutes. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? There is lots of imagery of church and the catholic school Lady Bird attends. There is lots of religious imagery and actions. There are many shots of Lady Bird's peers and then similar shots of Lady Bird doing something different or wrong.  What connotations do these images carry? These images are quite strict and heavy. Every image is showing a practice that must be done a certain way. If done incorrectly, even by accident, it could be grounds for getting in trouble, especially at a catholic school. Most of the focus is on Lady Bird, who seems to march by the beat of her own drum. Her not participating in some of th...

Editing together

 Today was the first day of straight editing. Because of the size of the file, it was really hard for us to share the videos to get editing started. We tried sharing it through our phones, but even with just a couple of videos, our storage got full. Through email, the videos wouldn't send. It was hard for us to share the SD cards, especially for me. I was using my dad's camera and SD card, and he uses them often for his own personal projects. Along with that, he had a lot of important information on the SD card, that could've easily been lost or accidentally deleted. A storage service ended up being the best idea for us, and we all already had google accounts, We came up with the solution of using Google Drive just to share the file, and once everyone had downloaded a copy of the video, we would delete it off the drive. This made it so everyone could get a look at the videos think about what we wanted to do with them and understand the progress of the film. As we've loo...
