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!!!!!

& So It Begins...

Hello Human Creatures!!!!!
   
 Well... We've been talking a lot about this project, now its actually time TO DO!!! Starting on THIS Wednesday, we will be officially FILMING for our project.

  GO CRAZZYYYY AHHHH GO STUPIDDDD

Nightmare On Our Street

    IM SO EXCITED I CAN'T EVEN USE MY NORMAL INTRO BECAUSE IM SO EXCITED.
  We came up with the greatest idea ever!!!
   Because we decided the quick cuts are going to be very hard to fill up a whole 2 minutes, we need to come up with something that gives it a little more plot and juice. So we were like let's see let's think...
  AND THEN WE GOT IT.
      The excerpt will end with a boy waking up from this horrible nightmare. He'll be drenched in sweat and frantic and totally realistic.
   AND WE HAVE JUST THE GUY!
   One of Daniela's close work friends who also goes to our school will be the perfect fit. He'd be more than happy to do and will be committed to the acting! His credentials follow the fact that he's starring in this Friday's MAMAMIA!
    This is going to be so epic I honestly cannot wait and I know you guys can't either!!!!

Say Yes To The Dress

Hello Human Creatures!!!!!!!!
 

    Our end project is coming closer and closer I'm actually so excited!
 Some people might think like "Ugh what a drag, another worthless, time consuming project"
   But no. Anything that has to do with bringing a vision to life excites the crap out of me. Whether it's writing, music, or anything in particular.
     TO THE JIST OF IT ALL
  TODAY LET'S TALK  MISE-EN-SCENE 

Mise- en- scene has anything to do with the visual aspects of a scene. Since we're going to be using a very natural setting, wardrobe is key here. To present Daniela's character the best way we could, we have to think about different ways that we could do this. 

         









   White usually symbolize innocence and purity, which is exactly the first impression we want to give the audience about Daniela's character. She'll be wearing a flowy white dress to go with the wind and make her look like a feather.
Then the quick cuts will be to this monster version of herself. She will be wearing the same white dress. However, it will be distressed and covered and blood. This will help with the irony of the blood  with the white and the soundscape of a chaotic moment.
   We're definitely going to be creating this look DIY. Meaning we will cut up the dress ourselves and pour blood over it.
  Something along the lines of this:




So that's really it for wardrobe!!!
   Goodnight my human creatures!!!!

2 faced

Hello Human Creatures!!!!
     Today I called out of work for the first time ever and I was so scared because I thought I was going to get fired. Phew, anyway if you know anywhere that's hiring LET ME KNOW... just kidding.

   Okay so the idea of Daniela's character. This mystery girl. We want to show two sides of her. Both in which contrast visually.
    The first is an "angelic" character. She's going to be wearing white and we're going to be doing this in a field. We're still not sure what time of the day we're going to be doing, either midst day or sunset. We'll probably film in both and decide which sets the tone more.
 
   INSPIRATIONS FOR "ANGELIC" CHARACTER
     



We'll use a "glow" effect to really captivate that heavenly/ angelic character.

   The other side is going to be the opposite, however while still wearing the same clothes. We can use fake blood to cover the clothes and special FX to get that "AHH" look. My dad is really good at applying special fx make up, every year he helps out our family members in getting their desired look. He can help us create this look and give us some tips.
           

                 

We can definitely use his advise!!!
    To switch between these two sides of the character, we'll definitely be using fast pace editing and really quick cuts.
    I'm so excited to create this and make our vision come to life!!!!! STAY TUNEDDD


 

Hello Human creatures!!!!
    Still have no clue on what we should do for our sound scape. BUTTTTT we came up with a super cool idea to make the opening a little more captivating and engaging and TWISTED bc duh i’m a scorpio. We’re debating either a very bloody version of Daniela or superwrecked. We’re talking about  special FX make up and everything!!! Anywayyy I’ll keep in touch !

Monkey "Hear"?

   Hello Human Creatures!!!

    Today I was absent in class because I was visiting the college I'm attending: UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDAAAA!!!!!
     However, my partner was. She told me that they were split into groups and they each shared their ideas for the film opening.
    Daniela told me the tips our classmates shared with her, and some are definitely so helpful.

      THANK GOODNESS we can use the already-produced sound scapes that we had previously used before in our sound project. This gets me extremely excited because I LOVED the sound project so much. I loved working with different levels of volume and the variety of aspects of sound used to make one "story". This is going to be extra great because the "story" we plan to create with the sound is COMPLETELY different from the "story" we plan to create with visuals.
  We're still deciding between two versions of "chaos". Something definitely with sirens, crying, and screaming. Maybe all three but different levels / perspective.
         ANYWAYYY I'll let you guys know!!!!!!
