Production Blog: Preparations

 Today would be the day I started filming but due to technical difficulties I can't use the camera on my phone to record like I usually do so I got a new camera that will be coming in tomorrow. I also got a new camera because a lot of the scenes that I plan to shoot have to include my phone I them and I can't use my phone as a prop AND my filming device. Ive made my preparations for when my new camera comes though, I'll upload another filming blog on Saturday when I actually get to shoot some scenes. Today, I've cleared out the spaces that I plan to use while filming. So I cleared up the entrance to my living room and the hallway as well as my room, which ill be shooting majority of the scenes in. The camera situation is a just a minor setback but im using this as an opportunity to minimize the amount of prep I have to do on Saturday when I film. I've got images attached below of the cleaning I did. I also set out my first set of costumes. This set includes a cleated skirt (which may change) with a. polo shirt and a jacket. This first set is suppose to show what she looks like after she comes back from school so I kept it preppy. This can be seen in the picture below. I also got a new SD card to make the transfer of my clips easier from my camera to my laptop. Another thing I did was practice the kind of makeup I wanted to do for the first half of my scenes. I wanted to go for something really natural but a little messy because the first half is supposed to be a flashback of the main character when she was younger. This was all I could really do for the time being with no camera so I hope that ill be able to do better when it gets here. from here on out I should be on a good filming schedule for the most part. Although this was a minor setback I will make up for it in the next couple of days. With that being said, thank you and goodnight.

Production Blog: Photoshopping

Image
 okay so today I made used photoshop to create fake screenshots and profiles for the extra characters I'll be using in my opening. so first I started by taking screenshots of my actual instagram page on my MacBook to get a desktop view. Then, I airdropped these screenshots to mymy phone where I input them into this editing software called pics art. in PicsArt I removed the pieces of information I didn't want like the username and flower sound and edited themto customize his fake profile. I blocked out the username (which is my instagram user handle) and changed it to Megan.K (which is the main character's catfish name). Then, I blocked out the bio that I had in place to replace it with something new. In the place of the nameplate I changed it to say Megan Baby and on the third line I put NAHS as a random high school name. Then, for the 3 follower phases I had planned, i made each phase change from 2 to 3 to 4 digits. This is mean to show the drastic increase in followers th

Genre Research: Lady Bird

Image
 The last drama film I watched was Lady Bird. It's a Drama/Comedy and the drama side seems to shine through a lot more here. It's a narrative in the perspective of the main character, Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson. She strives to attend a prestigious college. Unfortunately, her grades aren't the best and she comes from an extremely low income family that's situation increasingly gets worse because her father lost his job. Because of her obsession with going to a prestigious university's, she's willing Tod o everything she can, including betray even her closest friend to make connections. Throughout the course of the movie she and her best friend are seen doing almost everything together but once Lady Bird sets her sight on something new, she often compromises the relationship with her best friend to get it. This creates a major conflict from the start where she slowly but surely changes up her personality to appeal to whoever she's trying to impr

Shantaneil: The Start

Image
 Hello, my name is Shantaneil Francis. I'm currently attending Fort Lauderdale High as a 10th grader this year. This year is very important to me because I've been looking forward to taking this class since last year. One of my reasons being, I've never been the most artistic or creative person, nor have I gotten the opportunity to learn about film or media until I enrolled in Fort Lauderdale High. Another major reason I took this class is to be able to look at the progress I’ve made in this course. A lot of the time, students tend to forget what they’ve learned in a class and move on once they got the credit. I, however, find it rewarding to see how far I’ve come when learning something new that I like. I hope that with the knowledge and possible experience I gain from taking this class that I'm able to develop my creative skills for the future. I've tried testing new hobbies to find something that I enjoy but nothing seems to stick. One thing that I've always
