Production Blog: Delays and Set-Backs

I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog. The past few weeks have been nothing but delays. What frustrates me is that some of these delays could have been avoided. A major part of these delays is procrastination. Since we've started this project, we've been idly blogging our progress. What's more, the progress we're making, has been far too slow and lazy. If we had initiative, we could have been long past the planning stage, and already been filming. Unfortunately, we did not. Now, I've realized that we won't be able to get anything done for the rest of the week leading up to spring break. With the end of the school quarter drawing near, our work load somehow seems to continue growing. Right now, I've been busy with a massive chemistry project, which, coincidentally, I procrastinated on until now. From what I've heard, Rhys and Daniel have similar issues in their own classes. I know for certain that Daniel has a lot of English homework to catch up on, as I share the class with him. Spring break would be the best time to film, but unfortunately, this is also impossible. I'm not sure about Rhys, but I heard from Daniel that he is going on vacation for spring break. Normally, we'd be able to do some things without him, but that's not possible this time. Not only does Daniel have an important role, but I'm also going on vacation. For all of spring break, I'll be in Ecuador. Of course, I'm happy about going on this trip, but I can't help but feel disappointed I won't be able to get any filming done. Despite all of these setbacks, I think that we'll be able to film and revise our project in time.

Movie Conventions Research: Death on the Nile (2022)

Image
I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's research into the mystery movie: Death on the Nile. This movie sticks to the conventions of mystery movies as it has many common things that you might see in other mystery movies . Death on the Nile has things like foreshadowing, a “Whodunit” plot where the audience is trying to fi gure out who did the crime, and it is not revealed until the very end of the movie . It also holds an “Amateur detective” like plot, as the main character, Hercule Poirot, is an amateur detective who is not a member of law enforcement, and h e takes it upon himself to solve the mystery and is motivated by his sense of justice and his desire to bring the killer to justice . The movie creates a suspenseful atmosphere through music, lighting, and camera angles. The scenes that take place on the Nile River add to the sense of tension and danger, as the characters are isolated and at the mercy of the killer . "De...

The Start of my Final Task

Image
Welcome back everyone! This is the first blog post of my final task. If you're new, I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome to my blog. For this final task, we are making the first 2 minutes of a full length movie. This is meant to introduce the viewer to the story, and interest them enough to continue watching. I'm very exited to finally get to do this project. Now, I'm also more sure about my role in this process. Acting seems to not really be for me. I feel really awkward and uncomfortable on camera. I'm also not a big fan of editing. I'll do it when necessary, but it definitely gets boring sitting behind a computer dragging videos around. This actually somewhat surprised me, as I do enjoy using similar programs for static media, like PowerPoint. I definitely enjoy filming, especially when I have a little creative control. Despite this, I think I get the most enjoyment out of directing. That ability to direct people where to go and what to do never gets old. It ...

Planning Blog: Location, Participants, Health, Schedule

Image
  I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's overall plan for filming our title sequence. Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the location participants health and schedule of our final project. For our pitch to work we need a dark setting with mysterious vibes. A location I think would be perfect is right near Daniel's house. It was a street with no lights and there are usually no people around. It has the perfect dark and mysterious feel that we are looking for. A backup location would be very easy to find for us. The reason for this is because me and my group mates all have an area where we can film. We all have a place that we feel would really suit the plot for our film. We just decided on Daniel's house because it was easiest to get to and made the most sense for us. The next thing that we need is participants we plan on having some of our friends fill in but have Rhys be the main character. We have asked our frie...
