A great update!



 Hello! I am back after spring break and all energized again. This break was well needed and I also feel well deserved. Today was our first day back to school in over a week and I got to see everyone and be back into the swing of things. I met with my group today and realized that a problem had raised so concerns. We had a hard time figuring out when to film because none of the could do anyday after-school this week. We tried to find a day that worked and we agreed on Tuesday but Zane later came up with a way better solution. I cannot meet with my group this weekend because I am going out of town for my birthday which is on April 3rd. I was kinda upset but there wasn’t anything I could do to help my group. With this said zane came up with a good idea. He and the other two group mates will meet over the weekend while I am gone and film. I know it leaves me out but it is the only way. Also I do not need to be in the Film as Kyle is the sole main character and it is based around his characters life and feelings. I plan to do the editing to stay involved and took up anything that they may have missed and put my input to make what they filmed the best that it can be. I think that this will work well. Although I will not be apart of the film making, I am still apart of the process and still greatly important and impactful to the final product. I hope that everything goes good for them so that we can be set for our due date and have no issues. I also am looking forward to a good birthday and I am very happy to see another year. I will be back soon with more and more updates and hopefully we are just one step closer in the right direction to getting out movies made and this production completed. Goodbye for now!

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 ...
