Production Blog: Filming process



     We have finally finished our filming process! WHOOOO! Even with all of our obstacles in the way, we managed to overcome them. We had a scheduled talk on Discord where we decided my house was going to be the filming location. Even though my house is under construction and i didn't want to invite people over until it was finished, this was important. I needed to overlook the fact that my house isn't  finished for my grade. 

    I actually wrote a long detailed "essay" because of the amount of information I had from filming. I added my media and there was a syncing problem and none of it was saved. I am not proud to admit it but I am currently crying re-writing this because I felt the first one was my best blog yet and I was extremely proud of it. Anyways,..

    When it came to filming it was extremely awkward and very silent at first. Until we warmed up to each other, it was very quiet and a tense mood. We discussed our plans and reviewed our storyboard to begin the filming process. We started and had to take many breaks because of laughing but we eventually got into the working mood. 

    We had my mom as help with the driving scenes and overall supervision since we were filming with children. We did our best to keep Perla updated by texting her on Discord and even Factiming her though out the day.

    We had to take breaks because of eating and to keep the phone charged. In the meantime, we talked played games and vibed.  I tried to make it a fun working space as much as I could, and I think I achieved that.

    As stated in my last blog, we were scheduled to go to a park and a school 5 minutes away from my house to complete some scenes. Once we looked around my house we saw that it was sufficient enough to play those roles. We used my driveway and my backyard is pretty large so that we did not need to go to another location. 

    We filmed for a total of nine hours and will be scheduling a work/editing day this week to be finished with our projects. I think we will only need one full day of editing to be complete but we will see what happens.

Final Task : Title Blog

Image
 For our Title blog, Glenna will be making the titles for our movie. She will be using her own font that she created that is from her own handwriting. For the movie title name, she will handwrite that in calligraphy.      The font will be in what she named "JuvinMae" which is the font displayed below.     The contract won't be too low. We plan to make the text white so that it is able to be seen on the screen. We do not plan to lower the opacity or make it anything other than white.     The spacing and the tracking between lines are normal-sized, in our opinion. It is not too spaced out or too close to each other which makes it legible to the watcher.     We are set on the title for our film. We are naming it, "Fantasia Can Do It!". It is based on the unicorn plushie's name, Fantasia. It is also based on our planning for the movie, where we conceptualized the character as looks to be a hindrance but becomes very helpful to everyone in th...

Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2009)

Image
 The movie I've chosen for this blog is Pokemon Detective Pikachu. I've chosen it from the Art of the Title website.  Titles displayed during this sequence were all the names of the movie's producers. Roles that developed this movie included the director, creator of the story, producers, executive producers, director of photography, production designer, film editors, music producers, and so much more. The names of the Pokemon characters were displayed as well, except that the names are displayed in the Japanese language. Prioritized images would include the Pokemon characters, the design, the movie logo, etc. These images represent the most popular characters of the Pokemon universe. Although I haven't watched the movie, I feel as if these shown characters are the ones that are going to be shown more in the movie. This film establishes the fantasy genre because, first of all, the whole movie is based off a video game, which the video game itself includes fantasy. And si...

PRODUCTION BLOG: UPDATING OUR PLANS

Image
     Hello,  this is our 2nd blog since we have come back from spring break and nothing much has changed. Me and Glenna have been working out what we are going to do in terms of filming because Perla still has covid.       We still need to film and finish the assignment even with this obstacle. We have changed almost everything because of functionality. We were going to film at Perla's house but now it is being changed to mine. The original problem about filming at my house, is that we just moved in and it's a construction zone. Glenna and my mom said that it will do for now since its our only option. We found some places( a school and park) that is closer to my house so that everything is in the vicinity of my house. We are planning to do a two day filming system and fit as many scenes in as we can. Working on finding extras for our film is a lot more difficult than I anticipated. Everyone is busy, or doesn't have a ride, or another excuse. I am ...
