Production Blog - Brainstorming

 Good morning! I woke up to the surprising fact that the commercial has changed from the previous two years. I had a sister who I helped film her Vans commercial and a friend who did a Crayola commercial. Luckily, this commercial seems easier. This new project will essentially be an IMovie about my life using pictures and videos. I don't have many photos of myself, so I'll have to take some. The only photos I have of myself is one from work, a few from my trips and a ton with my little sister. You'll soon know what she looks like, because she will definitely be a big part of this, and future projects. The camera part on my phone is also broken. It broke the other day out of nowhere. This was extremely frustrating because this is the only device I can use to film. We made an appointment at the Apple store, and we're hoping the repair cost is reasonable. I have decided that the song I will use will be Mayla by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. This song is definitely one of my favorites because of the slow acoustic and melodic tune. I also grew up listening to the band. I feel that because of this, it would be a great song for my commercial. If for some reason I can't do that song, or decide not too, I'll probably use the song Imperium by Ghost. Ghost is one of my favorite artists, and this song in particular is instrumental. I feel the synchronized instruments playing in harmony will be a perfect song for the photos I plan to use. Until I decide, I will carefully select my photos. 

See you next time!

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...
