hey Blog, I wanted to talk about what we were planning on filming this Tuesday coming up on our day off. We are almost done with our project with few shots left to film in Daniela's house and a few more shots left to film in school. After deciding to refilm some shots because of continuity issues and finishing our shots so that we can edit it we are almost done with our film intro. Post-production will be a whole different beast that I will most likely have to conquer. As seen n the credits in my last post I am the editor and will have to get the free trial for Adobe Premiere Pro. I have edited before because of time spent in television production so I feel my team mate trust me.

Hi Blog, over break Daniela did the opening credits and it turned out really good . These credits came out amazing and I really liked the way they turned. They definitely help further the notion of that teen movie and credit those who took part in the making. The way these credits are displayed to give teen drama tones and the bouncy, light-hearted tone of this film. The way these were shot were also given flowy and not rigid movements to show the casualty of the film as well as including bright colors and lights.

hi blog, We have planned to film after Spring Break since most us will not be here and there is an exam day where none of us have to show up to school in the middle of the week. I am sure Daniela is planning to fil our intro credits throughout Spring Break and we took inspiration from Lizzie McGuire for some of the credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEKzcIOwcgc In this intro, Lizzie breaks apart her room to pack for a big trip parallel to Margo, there are also the names of people and their titles in everyday objects to introduce and give people credit.

Hey Blog, The rest of my movie will be about the things they never got to do under the strict control of their parents such as getting tattoos, the couple enjoying their time together. What is not made obvious throughout the film but is implied that Margo and Liam are not allowed to date which is part of their reasoning for wanting to run away. These couple pictures represent the relationship between Liam and Margo. They have total trust for each other as well as love and support. Paola and Tomas are friends in real life and seem to have a chemistry that could not be found if they didn't previously know each other. I feel that this pair is the best that could have represented their characters because they are both so similar to them.

Hey Blog, I found a link for the song my friend covered so that one could listen to. You can hear the difference in the way the cover is sung in a more playful light on the cover than in the original version. We chose the song to be lighthearted and sort of haunting at the same time to foreshadow the twist our movie is going to take. When Paola is packing in what seems to be her normal school bag but is actually packing school clothes it is easier for the audience to understand that she is not planning on staying. The audience can also interpret this as an omen that they will be watching a teen movie.  The actorsa re actually in their teen years which is rare for teen movies in Hollywood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebb5AinKxWI

What's up Blog, This post is going to be about all the Pros and Cons of how I see my film going with my teammates. Pro's first: I love my teammates, I believe we all bring something different to our project but eventually all believe in the same finished product and it causes to challenge each other and makes us thrive. I love that we have picked our main character who is my teammate Paola because she is dedicated to the role and is open to receiving advice about what to say or how to say certain lines. Daniela is the most logistically sound person I have ever met. She always keeps our group on track without being rude or bossy and basically does all the heavy lifting for our film so that we can show up and bring our skill set. My last teammate is Sara who is not a creative person but more of a STEM person but is so intrigued and eager to learn about the media side and genuinely never fails to bring ideas to the table. I also like the direction our film is taking as well as o...
