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...

Planning the storyboard for my Pentel commercial

First Scene: This will be the shot comparing other pens to Pentel pens. It will give the audience an idea of the kinds of things you can do with Pentel pens and why they're so much better. It will be a zoom shot. As the actor continues writing, the camera will zoom in to look at how the pen is acting on the paper. Second Scene: Here, the actor will take a highlighter to the generic pen and it will smudge everything up. This will be an extreme zoom. As the Pentel pens' inability to smudge and fast drying times are a huge part of their advertising, I wanted to include a shot that would compare Pentel pens to other pens. This will still be on the same desk as the first shot, but it will instead be an overhead shot truly focusing on the paper. Third Scene: It's well known how infuriating it can be to have a pen smudging up all your hard work, so I truly wanted to show that emotion here. The audience can empathize with our actor's struggle and want to help him find a better ...

Issues while Editing my Music Video

 So, since my last blog, quite a bit has happened. I managed to lose all my progress on my video. Now, let me explain. I was editing my video and decided to render it so I would be able to watch it without having to let it load. So, as I'm waiting for the video to render, a message pops up that my computer is about to die. Usually, I have a couple of minutes to plug it in, but it ended up dying right away and basically reset. I immediately plug my computer in and turn it back on. As I open up Premiere, my work on the music video was completely gone. I was completely shocked and upset. I started looking up how to recover my work because all that it said I had done was import my files into the program. All of the tedious editing to the lyrics was gone. I'm looking through every file on my computer, every possible place where it could be. The reason I hadn't saved a separate copy and knew where it was was due to the fact that I was relying on the auto-save feature, but I didn...
