I'm Back


        I am back for my second project and I am really looking forward to it as I have learned many things through the first project. A little refresher about me is that I play baseball and golf but nowadays it is mainly golf.  Golf has helped me a lot with my mental thinking. You get faced with so many challenges you don't even realize. It's a complete mental game, if your head isn't in the game, you are for sure not going to succeed and that goes for anything in life. I also enjoy working at the golf course. I worked at the golf course the entire summer and I met some amazing people along with getting great life experiences. Along with playing golf I enjoy boating. Me and my girlfriend go on the boat quite often. We don't really get the chance anymore because of school but we used to go at least 2 or 3 times a week during the summer. I enjoy going on the boat because it is just very peaceful and calming out on the water. It can be very relaxing when you don't really have to worry about it much. I also like the boat because we go wake boarding and tubing. Wake boarding is extremely fun and oddly addicting. Hydro foiling is addictive too. I can go out on that thing for hours and hours just trying to perfect it. Another thing about me is I really enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am always with my friends, even if we are doing stuff or not. We go to dinners, go on drives, go to concerts and just have fun. I love my family so much, especially my grandma. She is always there looking out for me and seeing if I ever need anything. She buys me clothes and other essentials to keep me sharp and at my best version of me. I enjoy my life so much and I think that no one should take life for granted.

First Takes

 Hello again!!! Today is Monday and I am back for the first production blog of this project and I am very excited that I have completed my filming of the opening scene. This scene has begun by setting the tone for the horror film which will unfold scene by scene. With each passing day my momentum of filming gains traction and I am starting to get into a groove. With my opening scene I filmed it in my girlfriends room and played with lighting and other factors. I did not want it to be too bright as that would give too much of an energetic vibe and that is not the tone of the film at all. Instead of turning on the celing lights I used a lamp as it was moodier and not as in your face. Another tactic that I used was to add props to give a further meaning to the character in the film. My girlfriend has done an amazing job being the actor so far and I really enjoy being the filmer. I am using my iPhone in cinematic mode because the quality is very good and it is shot in 4k resolution. I ...

Closing Time...

 Hello again, today is March 9th, and I am almost at the end of this project. My movie has really shaped up since the last blog which was my start to the editing process. I got some input from some fellow students and how their productions have turned out. And mine may not be the best but I am still happy with how it has turned out. This production from start to finish took over a month because Junior year has been really hard and I have been trying to juggle SAT and ACT prep while keeping up with my grades and all my other work / tests. It gets very busy. For this project, just like all my other productions, I used my iPhone to film. Using an iPhone is just so simple and easy. It has an integrated camera that shoots in 4k quality and to edit all I have to do is select the clips and transfer them. It is extremely simple and the most convenient way to do this. I have covered a lot of content regarding this production. Coming up I have many exams as the semester is concluding which p...

Critical Reflection

Critical Reflection ^link^ Critical Reflection Kevin Ricks 1304 words How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film has three characters. The characterisation in the short film is not limited, the names of the characters are known to the audience but not too deep into depths. My short film does briefly illustrate the problems faced by the main character. The main obstacle the character faces is to escape being kidnapped while on vacation in a foreign place that is unfamiliar. At its core, the abduction of a child evokes universal fears and concerns shared across communities worldwide. It boldly highlights the vulnerabilities individuals, especially children, face when navigating unfamiliar environments, emphasizing the importance of safety precautions and vigilance. The incident in my short film prompts discussions on the responsibilities of travel not traveling alone and the help of  local authorities in ensuring the security of tourists, shedding light on ...
