THE CCR

I know I did somewhat of a reflection on Fridays post, but here is a true reflection, its like you can hear me speaking HAHHA
ARE YOU READY FOR AWESOME..... IT STARTS HERE !!!!!

THE FINALE

This project is coming to an end and although its sad, I'm extremely relieved that all our hard work turned into something great. Yes there were fails and lots of trial and errors but we eventually nailed it and I'm very happy with how this came out.
We got the soundscape down packed and it sounds SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD. I mean as you all know Mery and I have worked on numerous amounts of projects together, not just for this class, so working with her was easy and fun as always.
I do wish we had one more week to perfect it but honestly that's just me overthinking it.
I think this project was one of my favorite ever and I'm so proud of myself.
IM A FILM MAKER GUYS AHHHHHHHHHH
I can't wait for you guys to see the finished product. STAY TUNED FOR TOMORROW

week 6 #4

The sound scape needed a little work because it didn't sound as smooth as we wanted it to be. Our idea is for it to be like the sound project we did in this class. We want the viewers to be able to close their eyes and know exactly what is happening. To me the sound scape didn't do that. And at first I thought maybe its because we haven't put it over the scene yet but it isn't supposed to need that. We are supposed to be able to create an atmosphere with sound not video. So we are tweaking it a little bit. Hopefully filming will be done by Tuesday So we can have the rest of the week to finish off the project.

week 6 #3

Sebas come back today and Im very excited for them to start filming and figuring stuff out. Im about to loose wifi any second now but let me say this really quickly. Sebas and Mery said they are going to my house to pick up the wallet picture/ bookmark and also check on my dog. Then they will go to Ellas and start filming. We called ahead and asked if we would be allowed to film in there and they say dyes so hopefully they don't change their mind or else they will be screwed. Mery friend is also meeting up with them because she will play my "look alike" that walks into the coffee shop and triggers the flashback. If I keep getting updates I will let you guys know. I come back tomorrow so the vlog for the meadow scene will be up and I'm highboy excited for that. ITS COMING TOGETHER GUYS!!

week 6 #2

The sound scape is almost done and My trip is going by so slow. Its kind of hard to focus because I'm so stressed on this project. I am doing all these blog postings on my phone because I was not allowed to bring my laptop so thats already difficult enough. I also BARELY have wifi. Sebas gets back soon so Im just waiting for them to finally start. Mery has bough all the special affects makeup needed for a particular scene and got a book that we would be able to use for the coffee shop scene. Honestly props to her she is doing a lot now that Im not in the county.

CAN WE GET A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR HER! 

week 6

Trinidad is soooooooo much fun and VERY HOT. I FEEL LIKE IM DYING!!!!

I just got some news that gave me a mini panic attack. Sebas, our guy actor, had to take an emergency trip to Chicago and won't be back until Friday. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mery and I now have to plan out another schedule for us to film. 

Sebas will be back Friday so when he gets back, either Friday evening or Saturday during the day, they will go to Ellas cafe and film the coffee shop scene. That won't be too hard. 

Then I get back Saturday evening so Sunday all day, Mery and I will be at Markham park filming all day. (I want that blog posting to be a vlog.)

Hopefully we will be done by late Sunday evening so we have Sunday night to start adding the sound scapes to the scenes. Then Tuesday we have ALLLLLLL DAY (because the 9th and 10th graders have testing) so we will HOPEFULLY have everything edited and ready to work on the last part of the project. 

Fingers crossed this all goes as planned because if it doesn't I might cry... No actually I will cry. 

                  

week 5 #4

As I said before, the story board was a rough idea with just KEY parts of our opening scene. I also mentioned Mery and I though it would be a little over time and I was right. She started playing the timing and it was a little too long so a lot of our little details have to be either tweaked or cut altogether. I am sitting in the beach house right now kind of stressing but she sent me the new and improved story board and is a lot better where timing is concerned.

week 5 #3

During one of the scenes, actually most if the scenes, a picture of the girl in the meadow scene will be present. The guy will have the picture on him as a book mark but also as a meaningful item. Seeing this picture and then seeing the meadow scene will allow our audience to use the 2+2 method and put together the fact that the girl in the picture is very meaningful to him ad something obviously happened to her.

I will be the girl in the picture and the meadow scene. Although this scene isn't taking place in the 1800s so the picture will not be in black and white or anything, we are going to make it look oldish and make it look like the picture has been through a lot. 

We will use this picture 

week 5 #2

We drew up a fresh VERY ROUGH story board but we think that it might be too long. This is just a rough idea because obviously somethings will work and some things won't. Everyone knows that it will be very unlikely that it works out perfectly on the first try. 

(I'm sorry you have to tilt your head, or device, whichever you decide) 

We just drew up the key parts of the entire scene but we still think with all the extra in between parts, it will be more than 2 mins so it will be cleaned up. We have a lot of in between ideas that will take place in between the key parts of these scenes. 

The sound scape is almost done but it can't be 100% ready unless we know exactly how long the scene is. It is all very stressful but it will work out. 

week 5

Life is sooooo unpredictable sometimes. Well it would of been predictable of we had just checked the weather. Mery and I were planning on filming this Monday because that was the only day this week we were both not busy. I leave on Sunday to Trinidad so that is such a huge disadvantage so Mery and I were like "Bro we should definitely film meadow scene on Monday" I was like "Bet". 

We walk up on a lovely Monday morning... and BOOM!

POURING RAIN 

Like NONE STOP. 

We will now have to film the meadow scene as soon as I get back on Saturday. Trust the Process 

week 4? update 4

We are almost done with the story board. It will definitely be done by next week. But I have a huge problem. Well not huge that exaggerating but its stressing us out. HERE'S WHY:

We are low-key stressing because I will be gone the entire spring break but fortunately, some of this can be shot without me there. I will be the girl in the flashback and the girl in the picture that's in the guys wallet. But I won't be physically present in the coffee shop at all so during spring break, the coffee shop scene can be done. Thats best case scenario we are talking here. Worst case scenario is the day I get back, which is Sunday morning, we shoot. I don't think that's as smart but we have to make it work.

UGH LIFE IS SOOOOOOOOOO STRESSFUL WOW

week 4? update 3

I'm so stupid. I forgot to mention Mery was in a different group and they gave her good ideas as well.
Not sure who gave this idea but they told her that during the very beginning when the credits are ending, they should be like a close up or just a quick shot of a very old picture of the girl, who is later on going to appear in the flashback, in his wallet. Obviously the audience is going to have to use the 2+2 method and put things together and realize that picture is going to have some significance to him in some way.

We want the picture to look like this

They also mentioned that the girl that walks into he coffee shop that reminds him of the girl in his flashback should not be the same actress but someone that looks similar because it makes it more believable which I understand. SO far though we are using this ideas to put together the overall scene so stay tuned.
