peer review blog
today, Bori and I had a peer review. a peer review is a review among our peers' films. the peer we reviewed was Denise. her film was amazing. it was about a twin sister that was separated at birth getting revenge on her family. her transition felt very clean. she had all her beginning titles. her lighting was spot on. due to the lighting, i could tell that she filmed it with an iPhone 11. However, her sound quality wasn't up to par with her lighting. she did a great job handling her phone . i didn't see any tripod or anything out of the ordinary. her film wasn't the correct length though. there was a requirement of at least a 1:50-2:00 long film. she had most of the shots except for long shot, over the shoulder shot, pan view, tilt, or shot reverse shot. one thing i liked about the film is that the girl played different roles in the film. that takes lots of time and hard work to do that so i give her props. she is also the only person in the group. the only thing she needs to fix is sound quality. overall, she made a good film.

Filming blog: scenes 19-24
Bori and I are doing a blog for scenes 19-24. We shot the last scene for the storyboard. The shooting took about an hour to an hour and a half. This project has been fun lately but the blogs kill me most of the time. Especially when you have homework to do and sports. This made the scenes tight to fit in to our schedule. This scene was harder to do because we had blood in this scene. We had to change the script and the victim is now going to be on the toilet than in the tub. We did this because if the victim.was going to be in the tub, we would have to put a pool of blood in the tub leaking out and that's too much work. The tub scene gives us a little blood that we can easily clean up. The blood was easy to make. We had to mix powdered sugar, cocoa powder, food coloring , and water. Fist,, we had to put the entire packet off powdered sugar in the blender and add water. This was the hardest part because the powemder got everywhere. We added food coloring. Lastly we added cocoa powder and started blending again. The blood came out thick a few times. After a few more blending, the blood started to look like real blood. After. This we finally filmed the last shot and called it a day. Althoigh I had to take a long shower, it was worth it.

Filming blog: scenes 7-18
Today, bori and I have our 2nd filming blog due. I tried to do this blog the day before it was due. bori and I filmed but I had other things to do. We filmed for 3 hours. We started filming at my house. We'll film the rest of the film at my aunt's house. That's where my original film setting was going to be. Eventhough the filming was brief we covered the second half of the intro. We plan to refilm as many times as we can.
The second film we did was the 2nd and 3rd sheet of the storyboard. We had to wait for 3 hours to film because it was nighttime when the scene was drawn out to be. We had to film my brother and I at the door mostly because we kept on laughing. Bori was the camera man. He did an amazing job because the camera angles were as steady as could be. We decided not to do the rest of the films. It was getting late so we called it a night. We are going to speed up next week so we can get this done quickly.

We also have a peer review so we have to speed up and get a grade for that. If your peer doesn't have a video both of you are going to get a zero.

planning blog: shooting script
Today, Bori and I will be making a shooting script for our movie. A shooting script is the version of a screenplay used during the production of a motion picture Shooting scripts are distinct from spec. Scripts in that they make use of scene numbers along with certain other formatting conventions described below. They follow a well defined set of procedures specifying how script revisions should be implemented and circulated. A shooting script is just as important as a sound script. It lets the actors know what movements to do when looking at the sound script. Bori and I chose to make the script about the actor's movements and less abut the angles. we might change the angles that best fit the scene. when I looked at the shooting script on youtube, it showed a summary before explaining the movements. We have to make about 10 to 20 slides. wish us luck.
planning blog: sound script
Today, my dialogue script is due. To be honest, these waves of blogs has been easy so far. However, I know it's going to get harder. The script wasn't hard because it was only 2 mins of the movie. You shouldn't be making 30 slides because that's not going to fit into 2 mins of dialogue in a movie. Bori and I decided that the dialogue was going to be simple because it will set the viewer up for the jump scare. Normal conversations will give the viewer a normal feel. Once he/she hears the scream, they will get a feel of concern and suspense. then they will see a pool of blood and a phone on the floor. this is gonna be a good
