Reflection

 

     Hey guys!! It's almost here: THE END

   This project went by so fast it's crazy! I learned what it was like to be a real life director, producer, and editor. It showed me how much time and effort it takes to come up with a piece of work! If it took me this long just for TWO minutes, I can't imagine 2 hours or even 5 minutes. Everything is so precise to the detail, it makes me truly appreciate great pieces of work.
 
     A very important person that absolutely could not have done this without is my partner, Daniela Rodriguez. We balance each other out so well, I feel bad for other pairs who don't have the balance that we do. I think it definitely worked to our advantage that we are such close friends outside of this class. The only setback we had  was how we both left the country so it was very difficult to keep into contact with her as I barley had any wifi and neither did she.


    As I look back upon our footage, I wish we had elaborated more on the fact that he is in the army. With either some form of hat or shirt. I think it is a little unclear, until the war noises, on the fact that he is a war veteran and that's the reason why he has that picture of his wife.
 
   Anyway, this was an amazing experience and I'm glad I recommended my little brother into taking this class!!!

Reality Day 2!

   Today we went to Ella's cafe and I fell in love with it!! The atmosphere is so cute and the people are so cool! We of course explained tot the people that we had a school project and if they allowed us two film inside. Fortunately for us, they let us! But before they let us film we had to do a few details.
 
    We printed a picture of Daniela, and said, Hey we need to make this look old and like it's been through a lot.
    So we came up with the idea of putting coffee on the picture to give it that vintage look. 


   But I don't think it came out as how we hoped it would have.
 
       Again, I'm no camera experiment and I kept getting my shadow in the shot ughhhhh!!
     
                              

BUT I'm not a quitter!! I played with the angles and retook the shot until it came out right like this one:
                            

  Here I'm still able to get the book and the picture without capturing my shadow.
   It was also difficult to find the right timing for when there wasn't too many people.
 
                        
                         
                        
     
                       

It's hard to remember that real people had real lives that don't involve this project hahaha.
So a lot of scenes took a lot of takes, but we were still able to get the scenes we had hoped for.

 

Reality!!

   Hey Guys!!! So today was our first day of filming and wow I did not expect us to execute this so well. Using Daniela's iPhone was probably of the best ideas we thought of. Her quality is INSANEEEEE
   

    The only thing difficult was to try and get an open space where there wasn't that many people. Since Markham Park is a public park, but we still managed!!!!
    It was also really hard for me to try and not get my shadow in some of the shots.                                      
                         
                             

We had some spare time so we also did the special FX make up today too.
  I told my dad & he said he'd help me so thank goodness. 
 

                      

To get a solid black background we used a black comforter I had in my closet and we hung it on my shower. We literally filmed in my bathroom!!!

                            
We used my phone flash to create the high lighting and low lighting. Overall I think it came out really good!
                            
           

tickin & tickin

 Hey Guys!!!
   I know I've been a little ghost on you guys but I went out of the country & flew HOME!
   Let me update you guys on some old information that I don't think I shared with you guys...


   For starters, this is a rough draft of our story-board:
              


 We used to sticky notes to be able to switch around and play with the order of the scenes to get the most effective outcome. Although the SB doesn't go by the exact second, we are still very worried that we have so much material to fit into just two minutes. We may have to discuss and decide which scenes are the most vital to our story.

Board w/ a Story

HELLO HUMAN CREATURES

GOOD NEWS! we finally made our story board but me and Daniela have been having the worst timing ever!!!! Either she's at work or I'm at work, or she's at school and I'm sick or vice versa. I will let you guys have the chance to see it as soon as I finally see her tomorrow!!!!!
