Day 4 of Filming

Hi everyone! We filmed again today! After this we should really only have one scene left to shoot. Today we got the guardhouse scene completely filmed. Herb, our security guard, was supposed to be played by Spencer Regli. Unfortunately, Spencer has just as difficult a schedule as we do. With work at 4 and school ending at 3, Spencer just wasn’t able to make it. This last minute change lead to improvisation. Hillery’s older brother, Mikey Brinkworth, was able to help us our and take on the role of Herb. However, Mikey is also a busy guy and had a work meeting at 4:30. We had only 45 minutes to film this entire scene and for Mikey to learn his part. We all met up near the guardhouse that is at the entrance to Chloe’s neighborhood. I quickly read over Mikey’s lines with him while Blake drove Hillery’s car to the right position to being filming. Chloe and Hillery worked together to find the right camera shots and angles for the scene. With only 30 minutes left we started doing take after take after take. It was a little difficult because the guardhouse is the entrance to a neighborhood, meaning there was traffic going in and out of it. We often had to redo takes because we had to more the car out of the way, so other cars could pass by. Despite these last minute difficulties, we finished it up. Mikey did great as Herb and even got to his meeting in time. We’ve got one more scene left to film and we’re already discussing it in the group chat. Wish us luck!

9, The Feature Film

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...
