work, work, working

I am back and today is Thursday, February 22nd and I have been working on my project more and more. I still need to get more takes and shots for my film. I think that it could be good and bad to film as much as possible. It just takes a lot of time and coordination. It is good because it will help my film be better and more detailed with as many and the best takes that I can have. But it can be bad because I am slowly running out of time. It is very hard to fit my schedule in with no obstructions because I am unable to film in school so I have to make time that aligns with my actor as well. I am always so busy and have so many things going on. The filming process for this project gets delayed and delayed. I plan on filming later next week like Thursday and I am continuing to work on my post card which should be done or close to done by my next blog. I don't really know what else to add to this blog, so I am just gonna talk about my day yesterday. I went to the golf course and practiced for hours. It was very hot though and tiring but it is worth the effort because I am truly passionate. I love golf and it truly is one of my favorite sports. I have been grinding to be able to play college golf after I graduate and I love it. It relaxes me and relieves so much stress that school may build up for me. School stresses me with keeping up with 8 classes and it is a great healthy escape. That's all I got for now, see you soon!!

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...

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 ...

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 ...
