Production Blog - My First Video Diary

 It's Jenna again! I have been working on my commercial. I saw the rubric said you need 2-3 videos with you in it for full credit. Unfortunately, I am extremely photo shy, and don't have many items of media of myself. To fix this problem, I made a video diary yesterday. I decided to be a good big sister and daughter by taking my younger sister to her gymnastics class. My mom was exhausted from work, and I am grateful for her sacrifices as a single mom, and I wanted to return the favor. In the video, you can see us walking there while I drag her in her wagon. I think a big problem with the video is that you can barely hear anything over my panting. In my defense its a 20 minute walk. You can also see her eating the carrots and cucumbers I prepared for her, and my hungry eyes regretting not packing anything for myself. Next class I will do my last production blog, and I work as a greeter at the movies on Friday and a food runner on Sunday. Both positions have free time when its slow, so if time allows. I'll put my commercial together then. Per labor laws, I get a half an hour break each shift, and I am on a strict savings plan, so to prevent myself from giving in and buying food, I could probably work on the commercial then too. I can probably walk around a film the second video as well. I am using iMovie to do my commercials. My storage is packed full with photos, so I was forced to delete some apps and accidental screenshots. I was planning to film more today, but I have an interview at 4.


Wish me luck and see you next time!

-Jenna

Finishing filming

Image
  After a session of filming, we managed to capture some successful scenes for our comedy horror movie project. The responsibility of editing the footage falls to my partner, who will be handling that aspect of the post-production process. Despite our efforts, the search for another actress proved fruitless, leading to a decision where I had to step in and portray multiple roles. In the absence of an additional actress, I took on the characters of the waitress, the woman, and the man in our film. This unexpected turn of events presented a unique challenge but also an exciting opportunity to showcase my acting skills in a variety of roles. The flexibility and adaptability required to switch between these characters added an extra layer of complexity to our project. As we move forward with the editing phase, the diverse roles I portrayed will bring a distinct flavor to the initial minutes of our movie. The experience of embodying different characters within the same film has been bot...
