  Hey cuties! Music was something really important for our film. I wanted to use my favorite artists, Violent Viras, music so I sent her an email. I sent this email December 20th and at the time of writing this, February 19th, I still haven’t gotten a response so I wont be able to use her music. It honestly is really sad because I was super excited. But even with that being lost, the film will still be wonderful. It does suck though. I really thought her music could add so much to the film. She’s been my favorite artist for so long and I knew the second I heard I had to have music in the film, that I wanted it to be Vira’s music. Because of this, I have to search for new music to use. I have been searching YouTube up and down and it’s not right. I know what I want and YouTube is great. There’s so much different royalty free content. But it’s just not what I want. Even with that being said, I know I’ll find something. I know that there will be music that makes me feel how I wanted t...

Hey cuties! So today we filmed our blogs! It was honestly a really fun process. So I am the director and I filmed everything so I had to make sure everything was just right. We started by meeting at Greg’s house, which is where we filmed. Greg, Prince (our other actor), and I all made sure everything was set up how I wanted and then they got into positions. I kept having to refilm the very first scene because it wasn’t perfectly to my liking. I wanted to show the character without having their face in it just yet. But after all that we ended up having a really simple film day. There wasn’t much that we had to do to make it look good. There was a little bit of frustration only because Greg has a little sister and she wanted to be around us while film. But it was okay because she was like my little sidekick. After filming I sent the videos to Kaylee so she could start the process of editing. That’s all for today. Bye lovelies!

Hey cuties! The process of selecting the music for our film’s introduction is a fun yet hard task that sets the tone for the entire film. It all begins with immersing myself in the story, understanding its nuances, and envisioning how music can enhance the narrative. With each project, I strive to evoke emotions, captivate audiences, and create a memorable audiovisual journey. Collaboration is essential as my team and I are working very hard to figure things out. Experimentation is key as my team and I try to figure out what it is that we want the music to say exactly. As the director, I trust my instincts and rely on intuition to guide me through the creative process, knowing that the right musical choice can make all the difference. Each sound we consider carries its own unique energy. Ultimately, the goal is to create a symbiotic relationship between music and storytelling, where each complements and enhances the other in perfect harmony. That’s all for today. Bye lovelies!

  Hey cuties! I’m very excited to start filming. I already chose our location. I planned out what we wanted to do and today I made sure the location was perfect for the atmosphere I wanted to create. Each element of production design has been meticulously planned, from the set dressing to the props, ensuring that every detail aligns with the vision of the script. I’m also trying to figure out what I want the characters to wear, I haven’t chosen exactly what the vibe of the costumes will be. I started filming some of the scenes so far just to see what angles I want to do and I think I’ve decided how I am going to film. Since sound is so crucial for our video, Kaylee has been testing out the best way to show what I’m going for. Every sound that we allow will be carefully chosen as to show the feelings I would like to convey. I’ve also been playing with lighting as it helps mirror the themes that are being explored in our script. The filming will be taken place February 16th and ...

  We will be filming sometime during the middle of February, we don't have a date for sure set in stone but we should all be free around that time. With that being said, if someone can't end up making it, that will be fine as we can film and act with only two people. We want to film at Gregs house however, if we cant we will be filming at my house instead. For everyone's safety we're going to make sure that we have at least one parent present. We're also going to avoid using any items that could potentially cause harm. Kaylee will be editing and of course if she cannot I will be taking over editing for her.
