Turkey Day

     In the continuing of my project there have begun to be new setbacks. The first setback being that thanksgiving break is upon us and I will be going out of town. I am leaving town for almost 9 days and I will be busy so I will most likely not have time to work on filming or other aspects of the project. With this being said it is going to be hard to be able to progress at this time. Also when I come back from break I will most likely have a lot of work from other classes to work on. I will wanna get those out of the way and complete them before I begin with this again. Another thing that will set me back is the actors that will be featured in my music video. The actors have their own personal things to do. Some have to work and others have to spend time with their loved ones and families because of the holidays. I do in fact expect to be back on track the week after break. I will be able to get everything straight and organized for my music video. One other setback that I have come to realize is that mid-terms are coming up. I do not know how much this may affect me but I will for sure do my best to work around them. I wanna start my filming between the week of the 3rd and the 10th but this depends on the actors and all of our schedules permitting. This will give me at least a week to edit and add any touches I want to my video. I am very happy that it is finally the holiday season. I am also very thankful that it is Thanksgiving and I get to see all of my relatives. I can use this break to also brain storm more ideas about how I can better my filming process. I will be back after break to get back into the swing of things and start the middle portions and most important parts of this project.

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 ...
