Welcome back! Filming was all done but before I could begin the editing progress I have to clean up the set and get it cleaned. I made sure to make cleaning the set after use a priority because I know other people use the set and I don’t want them to have to clean up after our mess. So I prepared and bought multiple different cleaning supplies to prepare cleaning the set. My videographer also helped me clean my set. Cleaning the set didn’t take as long as I anticipated. It took around a hour. I cleaned the props and costumes. I also cleaned the room. That’s all I had to finishing cleaning the set.  During filming I accidentally broke an item on the set. I broke a flower vase that was supposed to serve as decoration in the film. But I wasn’t able to get another vase or save the vase. So I decided to make another vase so the set could be fully reset. I had to throw away some props that I used. I threw away the printed calendar I used as a prop for my film. I took pictures of the cale...

 Welcome back! The only thing left that was needed to film in the last two pages of our storyboard. This day was going to be the longest day to film because we had to film more scenes then the other two filming days.  The filming day began after school and no new props or settings were established. My storyline consists of the same setting, costumes, makeup, and props. So this made filming so much more faster and easier. The scenes we also are filming are the exact way we filmed the other scenes since my storyline is about a girl living in the same time loop. So we had to basically film the exact same scenes but change a little things. The only that was changes was the acting I had to do. This time I had to act more shocked and confused. The acting was hard for me to do because I’m not used to acting. This is one of the few time I had acted before. But since I had to act the last previous days I was starting to get more used to acting. We had more breaks than usual so we had t...

 Welcome back! Today is another filming day and I’m trying to film the second page of my storyboard. So to accomplish filming the second page of my storyboard I have to work with different locations and props. The location that will be filmed at will be at the kitchen and living room in my house. And as for the prop it would be my dog. So it’s gonna be my first time working with my dog. I don’t know how well my dog is going to work with me when I’m filming. But I think my dog will do a okay job because he is well behaved. We started off with the scene of the girl looking out into the window while drinking her orange juice. The scene was easy to do and only took 10 minutes to complete the scene. The next scenes followed were the one with my dog. I have two dogs and I decided to use the dog that would sit still. I had planned for my dog to start barking but it’s hard for my dog to bark without any reason. So I decided that I would edit the dog barking because I was unable to figure o...

 Welcome Back! Before filming we decided to do a a short rehearsal. I started off rehearsing my lines and then my videographer started taking some practice takes. We rehearsed for about 30 minutes. After rehearsal we decided to break and eat the snacks and have water. Then I did my preplanned make up and put on my costume. Transitioning was an easy process and it didn’t took long because I had everything set up beforehand. After that we started to film. We decided to film the first beginning scenes of the film. So the beginning scenes starts off with me waking up in my bed and checking my phone. We took about 4 takes. We decided to take 4 takes so I had more options to work with when it came down to the editing. After each take we reviewed the footage and had a conversation on how we can make it better. So after those scenes we continued finishing filming more scenes. We filmed the first page of my storyboard. It was successful and it was really fun working together with the videog...

 Welcome back ! Today I’m preparing to film so everything can be ready and good to go when filming starts. I first began getting the set ready by cleaning the set. I deep cleaned the set and organized everything. After that I researched different types of makeup and clothes. I started practicing different makeup looks to see which would be the best fit. The makeup look I’m trying to go for is a very natural and clean girl vibe. I don’t want too much makeup because I want to make it as authentic as possible. Then for the clothes I picked out different options to pick from. I tried them on and finally decided on an outfit I’ll be wearing. I decided there would only be one and outfit and no other outfit changes. This way it’s easier to film continuously and not have to stop for any outfit changes. So everything was almost prepped and ready to start filming. Other things I had to do is buy juice from the store. I went to the grocery store and bought a bottle of orange juice. Then I put...

 Hi! Welcome back to the blog. In this blog, I'll go over the meeting I had with the person filming my short movie. In the meeting our priority was to completely establish what camera angles were going to do from start to finish of the film. This way when beginning to start our filming we can be prepared of what camera angles we want to do. This will also make us feel more prepared and organized. We started off with deciding what camera angles that will be done. As the director I decided on every camera angle on what should be done. For the beginning, of the film I decided that the film should open with a high angle. This camera angle would be great to start off since the character will be shown waking up from her bed. The following camera angle would be a wide shot to display more of the environment and show the set. Then as the character begins checking her phone  a medium shot angle would be done and then after a over shoulder shot. The over shoulder shot is important becau...
