Week 6 pt. 4

After my opening scene where Annique is already crazy I'm living my best life with Cristina, going out on dates and hanging out together. We run into Annique on one of our dates, which is where Annique puts 2 + 2 and realizes I left her for Cristina, the girl she saw on my phone when we were friends. At first Annique had a shrine about me and was crazy but it could've been worse, once she runs into us at a shopping center. She snaps to the point of obsession of her plotting how to kill Cristina and she hasn't decided whether she wants to kill me or "get back" with me. She ends up seeing my car and follows me back home and stalks me and Cristina. She decides its now or never to make a move on Cristina and I and tries to break into my house. The moment we realize she's watching us from outside the window. The short film ends I wanted to end it on a cliffhanger to add suspense for it, since its a short film.

Week 6 pt. 3

My short film opening begins with me and Annique (the crazy ex) before she goes crazy. We were dating for over a year and she was looking through my phones camera roll looking and all the fun dates we've gone on the past. While reminiscing of the good times, she keeps scrolling and see a picture of me and another girl (Cristina). She insistently gets triggered and throws a tantrum, yelling and throwing things around. From there it fast forwards a few months ahead to where Annique and I are broken up and took different approaches on how we handled the breakup. I start dating Cristina and are happily where as Annique slowly starts becoming crazy. I took some of the inspiration from the Tyler Perry movie that I've mentioned in the past on my blogs. Annique over time gets crazier and crazier over time. This is how I wanted to  going straight into the action and trying to cover the main plot.

Week 6 pt. 2

This weekend we were able to accomplish I'd say around 80% of the short film. We don't have school on Tuesday (!!!!!) so hopefully, if schedules don't conflict we can finish it then. If schedules do conflict the last scenes will be filmed final on Wednesday. Once that I can start editing and hopefully finish before the weekend and only have to do my reflection on the weekend, where I have a lot of free time. I don't think I'll have a problem with editing since I've been editing all my group project all year round and got pretty good at it. I did a little bit of editing but not that much since most of the of the film took place this weekend. I have about two more scenes to take and I'll be done with my short film. I edited the scenes I had when I filmed in Pei Wei, since I had so much free time but couldn't do much because of weather or conflicting schedules.

Week 6 pt. 1

My crew and I had different things going on at different times since it was spring break however, we were able to accomplish buying some of the clothes that we felt were necessary for the shots. I bought some clothes from PacSun since it's a "trendy" type of the store and I want my character to give off that vibe. Girlfriend #1 got some clothes from forever 21 and girlfriend #2 got some clothes from Nike and other workout stores. My reason behind them wearing different clothes is because I want everything to be complete opposites of each other. For example one of the girls is more of a sandals type of girl while the other one prefers sneakers.  I planned on shooting this weekend and if I didn't finish then I would meet one more time during the week to finish up. The biggest challenge I've had was scheduling, since all of us either work or play sports, as well as it raining to the point where we would have to cancel for the day.

Week 5 pt. 3

This weekend I wasn’t able to get any shooting done since one of my actresses (girlfriend #1) went out of town for spring break. There was some miscommunication where I thought she would be leaving next week instead of this week. So initially I planned on using the weekend to film since thats when our schedules work the bedt. So I have to hold onto shooting my scenes until she comes back early next week. My goal is to finish filming early this week, so I can have the rest of the week to edit. Which leaves me with a week to finish the reflection which I think is more than enough time for me to do it. That should be the last thing I need for this project (I dont think I’m forgetting anything).

Week 5 pt. 2

On Thursday, we had a class discussion on everyones projects and ideas. I heard some potential ideas and saw what other classmates progress. An idea that I loved was one of my classmates suggesting since my film is going to have a flashback scene, I should incorporate a voice over. The scene is of the first girlfriend looking through the boyfriends phone and reminiscing of a few of the dates they've been on. So the idea was to have the voiceover talking about how she was feeling that day, or what haplened before or after the picture. The feedback on my storyboard was very limited since the school internet didn’t want to load my pictures. So I had to try my best to explain to my group on what the idea and plot of my story was going to be. Overall I got good feedback, which at least lets me know that, it will be well recieved.
