Production Blog: Going to Julies house

Julie and I filmed the school parts first because we wanted to get those out of the way first. I wanted to make sure we got those done since spring break is coming up. Since we finished the school parts we are going to focus on the solo ones. Therefore, today after school I went to Julie's house. I helped film the parts where Macie is getting ready for school. To start, I used a medium shot to show her waking up for school. Then we started getting Macie ready for school. I did a close up of her doing her make-up and picking her outfit that she would wear to her first day of school. Our biggest challenge was the breakfast scene. We wanted to do a close-up of my mom cracking an egg into a pan, but we couldn't get it right the first couple times. So we kepted wasting eggs. But it was pretty funny. I also did a close up of Julie on the phone scrolling while her mom and I were having dialogue. This was to show that she was uninterested in having the New Girl talk with my mom. We then headed downstairs to film the scene where Macie is walking to her car. A pan shot is used to show the parking lot. I sat in the backseat to get the perfect angle of her getting ready to leave my house. I made sure to film close up/medium close up shots of Macie to show her facial expressions. Macie is not looking forward to going to the new school, so I wanted to make sure that the audience can tell that she isn't excited. We finished up the rest of her scenes, and then I had to get back home because I have work. I am glad that I was able to help Julie film, and Im glad that we got more of our filming completed.

  How do your products represent social groups or issues? Our short film focuses on some of the troubles that highschoolers go through. In this case, the new girl, Macie, attends, once again, another new school. Being “the new kid” is already hard enough, but to make it even harder on Macie, Courtney makes her first couple of days at school even more difficult. Courtney gets jealous that her crush, Jacob, likes Macie more then her. This causes her to send out an embarrassing photo of Macie to the whole school, in hopes to get Jacob to lose interest in Macie. However, this makes Jacob see what kind of a person Courtney truly is. Courtney decides that she must apologize and make up for what she’s done to Macie. The short film captures some of the emotions that many teens and highschoolers often go through. Whether it be anxiety, jealousy, or embarrassment, my short film is able to capture all the feelings that the characters go through. This helps to represent how highschoolers are v...

Production Blog: filming my scene

Image
 Today, I am going to be filming the scenes with only me in them. Julie came over after school to help me film some of the parts. When I got home, I went to go change into my clothes for the scenes. I was wearing a bright pink top with jeans. we started off with me walking through the door of my house. I went outside the door and Julie filmed me walking in. During this scene, it was only me so you I didn't have much dialogue. Julie and I filmed the rest of the shots that I need for the scene by myself. Since I didn't have much dialogue, I had to make sure that my facial expressions where good so that the audience could still have an idea about what was going on in the scene. Filming these scenes weren't too hard. I would say the toughest part of this process was getting the right angle. We also had to figure out how we can make the embarassing photo look like it was found on a website or something similar so it looks realistic. This took a couple ,minutes to figure out, but...
