Preparing to film blog post

 February 24 2024-  Our Challenges: •The biggest challenges we are going to face are filming in our desired location since it is a public space with limited time to do so  & editing because we aren’t well equipped with experience & the tools. •The easy parts with be the costuming because we all already own the required clothing. Composing the script will be easy as well because we are all well versed on what the film is about & what each character is like. Acting as well is going to be easy because we aren’t as shy & can speak clearly. Who will do what: Everyone in my group will be featured in the film as a character at least once throughout filming. I will be the one who films. Jonecia, Chantell, & waldolph will be the primary characters. Chantell will be creating the script & doing the initial editing. Jonecia will be revising & helping her. I will be creating the shots & will be focusing on the mis-en-scene. Waldolph will be helping me w...

Costuming blog post

February 24 2024-  Elijah- Tired looking boy with an oversized uniform. The careless look with the big uniform is supposed to hint at his struggle in his home life, since he's poor & doesn't have much access to new fitting clothes. His uniform is buttoned up properly & worm with as much professionalism it could be worn with. He's trying to fit in with the school's overall wealthy exclusive image. Jessica- Short girl, put together with medium long dark hair. Jessica strives to look put- together and make a good first impression, her uniform is fitted & clean. Since its her first day she does dress out more to look good Katelyn- short girl with short curly hair looking confused and distand, wearing a zip up over her uniform. Katelyn is wearing her uniform carelessly, showing her lack of care for school & image. The school's neat uniform represents their strictness, wealth, and prestige.

Final ideas

 February 23 2024   Final Project Details: Our genre is aiming to be a thriller.  Our story follows a female student that is introduced into this strict school, in which if your grade falls below a B, you’re kicked out. A guy in her class takes a deep fascination with her, following her around, doing anything it takes to win the girl over.  We are excited for filming & writing our script. We are most worried about our editing for our film. Overall I think our film is going to turn out as good as we expected it to be (pretty good).

Brainstorm & Research

February 23 2024  -  Fe   Rise: Uses music to enhance the scenes. Close up sounds.  Dear Lover: The dialogue is well executed. The shots create emotion. The in-head dialogue is good. Dare to Thrill: The editing to this film is very impressive, so is the sound/action. They used thrilling music to create their mood. Always Watching: Their editing created their anxious mood. The music added onto it.  Whitecoat:  Their props are accurate & impressive.  What did I take away from these films? Im going to be precise, make sure my editing improves my story and overall mood. I will think out of the box when creating them & will use sounds and music to add onto the ambience. 

Main character analyis

 The main character that we have made is obsessive and persistent, he is very to him self and quiet. He is smart and sly, he looks unkept, hinting his mental state. But he is very confident in the thinks he says and stays calm.
