Production blog: the grind doesn't stop

So this weekend has been really busy and I haven't had much time to do anything. Yesterday, we had my entire family and some of my friends come over to watch the World Cup. They were over since eight in the morning, and we had activity all up until eight at night. Needless to say, I went to bed right after. My group began editing and we are planning to finish tonight. Although I couldn't help out yesterday, I am planning on joining the zoom call tonight in order to finish editing and submit by tonight. Yesterday was a very busy day for me, however I kept up with our group chat to be sure I was up to date on everything. It seems like our group had technical problems because they kept remaking the zoom meetings. Prior to that tho, I was sent to the rest of the takes that were filmed for review. As I was looking at them, a few thoughts ran through my head at first glance. For one, the transitions might be a bit difficult. We need to smoothly transition Hailey spinning in a chair. This transition consists of Hailey wearing her pajamas and then spinning into her dress. This could be a bit difficult and come out choppy if not transitioned correctly or smoothly. But, I'm sure we could get it together. I went over more of the clips and they seemed pretty self explanatory. For editing, we started using the application CapCut. I found this app pretty easy to use, which is great, given that I am not tech savvy. This proved to be a relief, since I was a bit taken back when I offered to help with editing. All in all, we have a great team and I am almost sure we can get it done tonight.

Always a Glimmer of Progress

  Hi Blog! Since today was an A day, I met up with my group during first period and we talked about filming again. Unfortunately, Lauren was absent so she didn't get to take part in the conversation. However, we definitely made sure to fill her in after. Savannah showed us all the props she ordered, and we went over ideas on how to incorporate the props in filming. We are also trying to figure out a day to film next week. We are almost sure it will be Thursday, but we have a small conflict. Since our main lead character, my boyfriend, is part of the project, his schedule is a bit conflicting. He had communicated to me that he has no school on Wednesday, and that he would prefer us to start filming then. I wanted to keep Wednesday open in case I had dance practice scheduled for this day. Additionally, Savannah had a potential conflict on Wednesday as she may be getting tickets for a concert. Of course, I would prioritize fi...

Harvard Trip Coming Soon...

Image
Hi blog! I cannot believe that tomorrow is already THE Harvard Speech and Debate Tournament. I am specifically very excited for this tournament since it falls on my birthday! But that aside, I have been prepping for a while for this competition. It is my very last chance to get a bid to TOC. What is that you ask? In order to compete at the Tournament of Champions, one must have 2 bids, or "invitations." These bids can be obtained by doing well at national circuit tournaments and breaking to elimination rounds. I got my first bid at Sunvite last month, when I broke to finals. Unfortunately, I didn't qualify for a second bid at Emory because I broke to Quarterfinals. Due to the amount of entries, I needed to break to Semifinals in order to get the bid. So, this has motivated me a lot in preparation for Harvard. Since Harvard has 350 entries so far, I would need to get to Quarterfinals in order to qualify. Which is much easier said than done bec...

Group Meeting!

  Hi again! Long time no see! Joking, I posted yesterday. Anyways, there is some more news today. During first period, our group was able to meet and discuss our project. Since we all share the same period, we grouped ourselves together and gave updates. Most notable was Savannah, who told us she had purchased most of the props for our short film. This included several fake knifes and fake blood! We are all so excited to use these props since they are going to set us apart from other groups. The fake knives are essentially to be given to the lead actors, since they are plotting to eliminate each other. The fake blood will most likely be used in the fight scene to create more thrill to the movie. The only concern I have is that I am hoping the fake blood won’t stain my furniture. Since I don’t know the material, I am hoping it doesn’t stain my clothes or skin either. Additionally, Savannah and I further discussed our schedule for filming. Originally we had thought that next Tuesday ...
