CCR - The End

Image
  CCR My short film showcased the way mentally ill liars can affect others in society. This sheds light on liars in society which it isn’t really much reflected on. The main character in the short film would not stop lying about her life experiences to her previous friend group. People like this in society are not seen as good people. You can never know whether they are lying or not. This caused a rather untrustworthy feeling towards her causing them to feel different about her. Which is understandable because being friends with someone who can never be honest with you is rather exhausting. It was to the point where they had to stop being friends with her. This can be related to real life problems where people in the media constantly lie about their lifestyle for attention, but then it is then revealed that they actually never lived that way. Neither did they have those experiences happen to them. This can be seen when the main character in my short film encounters her next group of vi

production blog - releasing my tech skills

Hey, blog! I am almost done with my blogs as well as my short film. It is now time to start editing! I would consider myself a decent editor. I have some experience with making edits and posting them on TikTok and Twitter. People who have come across my edits have seemed to always like them, so I hope that translates to my short film. The last time I edited my short film I used Imovie it wasn't bad, but I am going to use a new editing app. I will be using the editing app called Cap Cut. It is really popular these days and it's free to use. The app has many features that you wouldn't see in any other editing app. Other editing apps always ask for money when wanting to do anything. As for the editing I wanted it to have sort of natural normal lighting, so I'll probably put some covering over it. As for the merging of the clips to make them blend well, it was not too hard. The clips itself already matched pretty well so I just had to insert them in the app. As for the cred

production blog - home and some setbacks

 Hey blogger! It is finally for the second day of filming. I am just ready to get this over with I am tired of school. The show must go on though I got the filming done. Now that the park scenes were done we had to film the house scenes. We went to my house after school to do the end of the film. There was a scene where I had to print out a bunch of pictures and have them around my room. Since I am the luckiest person ever, the printer has run out of ink. We were no longer able to print out the pictures. This was a major setback because I didn't expect that to happen. I had nothing prepared, so we just all sat there thinking. It turned into us procrastinating for so long. I became unsure if we would really be able to finish the short film that day. My lifesavers, Sophia and Camila came up with good alternative scenes to make up for the scenes with the pictures. We used my laptop and phone for photos in some of the scenes. It was good that we got through that problem. After, filming

Hey, blog! After all that, it is time to film. This week's film will be the minimum because there is so much going on at school for me and my actors. We have to do a lot of studying and focus on an important exam we have on Thursday. originally we were planning on filming on Wednesday but it was changed. After our exam on Wednesday, we went to Charley Cheesesteak to have a meal before filming began. I obviously paid for everyone's food I wanted to make sure my actors were well taken care of. Since Sophia also had food for us when we filmed her opening sequence. I felt the need to also get us something I hope they appreciated it. After we ate, we walked to the park nearby to start filming the scenes that took place there. When we got there luckily there were not many people there. So, at the beginning, we let the food in our stomachs settle down before we were filming. It was rough when we first started because I did not have my script set up. How irresponsible of me I know but

production blog - creating social media

 Hey, blog! It is time to make the social media for my project. This is something I actually am really good at. I have so many social media accounts I can't even count it on two hands. The forms of social media I most often use are X, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. I would say it is hard to maintain these accounts because they constantly ask for phone numbers and email confirmation. For 1 person it is a lot holding these accounts since I only have one phone number. As for the emails, it is a bit easier to make multiple email accounts even though sometimes it is such a hassle. I thank Apple's password system for helping me know the passwords for all my accounts. Without it, this whole system would be tragic. Now, for the short film promotion, I will be making an Instagram and Twitter account. This might be a little risky, but to eliminates the process of having to create a new email for these new accounts. I will be using old accounts to make everything easier for me. These ar
