Day 3 of Filming

Hey everybody! Another day of filming all done. Today, my group and I met up around 10 AM at GFS. GFS is a grocery store that is nearby where all of us live. We decided against Publix because they are usually fairly crowded and we were afraid of not getting the shots we wanted. When we got to the store we filmed a shot of Hillery’s car pulling into a parking space with Blake driving. Afterwards, we walked in and grabbed a card to use as a prop. We used the script as a guide and made our way through the aisles of food and supplies. Using Hillery’s iPhone 11, we took turns and filmed almost everything twice: once with all of us and once with just Blake. We have a plot twist planned for the ending of our film that requires shots to be done twice. There was only one small problem with the filming at the grocery store, they had copyrighted music playing quietly for the shoppers to enjoy. We did, however, figure out how to manipulate this music in editing so we should be good to go. We only had a small frame of time to get everything done since our class period only lasts from 9:18-10:48. We actually finished in time and each of us raced home as safely as possible in order to be on time to our next class. This is a huge advantage we have found in online school. Because we are all e-learning, we are able to have the freedom to leave our houses during the day and work on projects such as this one. I actually live farther from the filming location than any of my group mates so I didn’t make it home in quite enough time. On the bright side, I was able to join the class on my phone. This flexibility has been extremely important for the success of my group, especially since we have such a hard time finding days to meet up and film. We are going to film quickly tomorrow after school and most likely again on Sunday. After we get those shots our movie will be wrapped and we will move further into the editing phase. See you next time!

9, The Feature Film

Image
The full length feature of 9 was quite intense and followed a well-developed storyline filled with action and mystery. The movie centered around a post-apocalyptic world and featured small figurines sculpted by a doctor. The figurines fought for their lives throughout and one in particular, 9, fought to find out why things were happening the way that they were. There were a lot of things done by the director that contributed to the effects of the film. The audience was able to meet and get to know the characters on a very personal level. This developed each of the characters farther in terms of opinion and helped to justify any of their actions if necessary. The immense character development made the multiple death scenes especially hard to endure. While watching the film, I noticed a few different things that I liked. I appreciated the use of action scenes to keep audience members intrigued, I felt that the action added a lot of intensity to the plot as a whole and therefore to the en...

Reporter Phil:)

Image
Hey everybody! One of the parts of our movie that I am most excited for is when the reporter is breaking the scary news about the virus to a group of friends. He comes back once more later in the movie for a safety announcement regarding a vaccine. This reoccurring character: reporter Phil, becomes symbolic of the media and creates a parallel to the real world. The COVID-19 pandemic has been going on since before any of us knew we were going to get to take this class, so since our movie revolves around a similar theme, we knew what we had to include. The media and news stations have played a huge role in our society during this pandemic so we included reporter Phil in an obvious way that would get that message and that feeling across. Reporter Phil is being portrayed by none other than Philip Stein, Chloe's dad. Mr. Stein is very excited about his part and we are eager to see him perform it. Phil's part is also one of the easiest ones to schedule since we are filming it separat...
