Production Blog: Morning of Filming Day

My group and I were able to film during a break that we had of school. We took the chance that we were all free on Monday and went to Lili’s house. Brianna had an idea to come to my house first to get food earlier and then be on our way to Lili’s place. Therefore, Brianna and Hannah came over to my house around 11:30. Since I recently got my driver’s license, I drove us to first Party City. Here we got some of the props we needed for our film. I first went straight to the fake blood that was essential. Then, I went to get the white face paint to cover my face when playing the creepy little girl in the movie. I payed for everything at the moment but then after we would split it between the four of us. After leaving Party City, Brianna, Hannah, and I realized we were going to be a bit late so we texted Aleiah to take a bit longer as well. We left and went straight to McDonald’s. I thought it would be better to get Happy Meals to surprise everyone and then after go to Publix to buy more food. I decided to invite everyone to Happy Meals. Next, I drove to Lili’s house finally after running all of the errands. We were about to sit down in her room when Aleiah texted in our group chat that she was outside. Lili went to go open the door and she got excited when she saw the food. Lili, Brianna, Aleiah, Hannah, and I went in the backyard to eat our food. While eating, my group and I discussed what we needed to do. I made a checklist separating what we needed to film in the daytime and in the darkness. However, what we realized is that the whole group would need to stay very late so we asked our parents and they were fine with that. I was very excited to film throughout the day with my group. The day was full of activities that were very memorable for all of us.

Production Blog: Props

Before my group and I start filming, I want to give a brief overview of the props that I will be using throughout my film. First, I will need to buy a bulletin board for the scene where the stalker's room is shown. Here, there will be pictures of Chloe and her information including birth certificates, grade reports, and other legal documents. There will be manila folders that one of my groupmates bought and red yard with push pins to make the scene look even more realistic and set the creepy aesthetic. The picture of "Chloe" is really an image of Lili, one of my groupmates. She is still having difficulty choosing a picture but the film will be better-suited if it was a close-up portrait with just her in it. This will allow the viewer to see that Rachel, the stalker, is strictly keen on Chloe. There will be pictures in the folder and an additional portrait in a frame that we must buy as well. Furthermore, I will need glasses for the stalker, Rachel, so she could be "h...

My group and I did our first day of filming on September 29. We needed other props to record some of the scenes, therefore we did what we could with what we had at the moment. Our roles this day varied from person to person. Lili changed her outfit to look more vintage which will be the theme for our commercial. In addition, Lili who is playing "Leila" was acting as if she had forgotten her backpack in the first scene that we were able to take. Aleiah who is sitting next to her does a little shuffle and looks to both sides as if she were confused and then ran out of the camera. This was our first scene that we took, because we all decided that it would be a good idea to have our base done before we continue shooting the rest of the commercial. The middle part of our commercial could not be completed yet, because as I had said earlier, we were missing some props. With the time remaining, we then shot the last scene where "Leila" is walking up the stairs. Therefore, o...
