 Pitch #1: “A film about two ordinary high school girls that live a secret double life as agent spies for the United States of America.”


We plan to show two girls first getting ready for high school. We would film these scenes in a group member’s house. We would also have to film scenes of the girls in their spy outfits and performing stunts. This would be hard to do as we would have to use actors who can do stunts. We would also need to use a green screen to show the actresses leaping from building to building.  This may be difficult to set up and require purchasing a green screen. 


Pitch #2: “A man tries to provide for his family by stealing from a convenience store, but he ends up getting caught in the act by law enforcement.”


We plan to have one person walk into the store. This scene would be hard to recreate in an actual convenience store, so we would need to find a replacement location which would most likely be a group member's house. The person stealing the items gets caught in the act by law enforcement. The perpetrator continues to avoid the cops by running away from them, turning into a police chase. The criminal ends up getting cornered and is forced to surrender.


Pitch #3: “A gym bro (Jorge) attempts a personal record on a bench press and chokes to death; his gym bros attend the funeral and continue to lift in his honor.”


We wanted to film this because we all go to the gym. We also thought that it would be fun and funny to film. However, getting shots of somebody with weight on them could be dangerous. There is also the issue of getting the gym's permission. We also would be most likely nervous to film in a populated area like the gym where people are just trying to work out.


Decision: “A man tries to provide for his family by stealing from a convenience store, but he ends up getting caught in the act by law enforcement.”

We chose this pitch because it was the best one to do realistically. This is mainly because the other pitches required being in public places with many people who would interfere with the shots. We also liked the idea of chase scenes which are popularly seen in movies and shows.

   Today was our second day of filming on October 6th, 2021. Our group was excited to finish our Adidas commercial. Jade Walrave and I changed into our costumes before heading to our filming set. The track, our filming set, was not very busy so we began finding an area with good lighting to film our final scenes. The final scenes we needed to film was the action scene where Jade and I were in a head to head match. We first began by filming a low angle of me and jade running in order to show off the adidas brand cleats. After this we filmed a few of my shoes alone in order to get the perfect shot. Between filming each scene we would go back and review the scene in order to change anything wrong in it. We ended up re-filming the first scene around 5 times before capturing the correct shot. Next we grabbed orange cones to set up the “goal” for our shot. We began practice our blocking for the scene and making sure the angles were correct. It was difficult to originally figure out ...

Production Blog: Extra Details

  Making my film takes a lot of planning and attention to detail. With a schedule of two shooting days, there is a lot of work to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are some of the extra details I had to consider when planning my five-minute film. After I identified the specific locations I will be filming at, including both interior and exterior scenes I still had to work out the details. I first had to e nsure that I have permission to film at each location and was in compliance with any local regulations. Next, I must c onsider the time of day I will be shooting each scene and plan accordingly. Make sure I have all the necessary equipment, including cameras, lighting, and sound equipment. Identify all the participants in my film and make sure they are available on the scheduled shooting days. Establish health and safety protocols to keep everyone on set safe and healthy. Provide personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves, to all cast and crew members. Se...

  For my commercial assignment, I decided to pair with Jade Walrave, Ely Silverberg, and Mya Hauser.  For this commercial, I wanted to choose some of my peers with who I knew I was comfortable working with and filming with. I met Ely and Mya last year during my general paper class and we often worked on many group projects together. We always would finish our projects on time and we worked great together as a team. `I also met Jade last year during AICE Testing and she sat in front of me. We ended up becoming friends and hanging out the whole summer. After reviewing our schedules we discovered we had AICE Media together. I knew we would work well together as we already got along with each other outside of school. Together our group will function well because each member has their own specialty and skill set. Ely is good at concepts and creating a layout and design for each scene as well as the production as a whole. Mya is better at scriptwriting and is great at relating the s...
