 I haven't been posting much, but that's because my Spring Break was busy. Despite the business, I decided to watch a Studio binder video to keep me up to date and maybe learn some new things, and upon searching I found some information on camera angles from this video: Some camera angles that appeared in the video such as High angle and Low angle I already know of. But the other angles I don't know of are: Eye Level- When your subject is at eye-level Hip Level- when camera is roughly waist- high Knee Level- when camera is about as low as your subject's knees Ground Level- When camera's height is on ground level with your subject Shoulder Level- camera angle that is as high as your subject's shoulders Dutch Angle Shot (I've heard of it)- the camera is slanted to one side Overhead Shot- from above, looking down on your subject Aerial Shot- an angle captured from up high (e.g. Helicopter, Drone, etc.) The Knee level may be an angle I will use in my film. But o...

 Thankfully I got my script printed at STAPLES and I am really happy about it. The only problem I ran into is the fact that I didn't write the name of the film in the script, but I put a note at the top of the script the name and the actors that will be playing the characters. The flow is going well, and I will be filming soon either this Saturday or when we come back from spring break. Here is the printed script: 

 Today was the day I thought I would be able to print my script today, but many teacher's printers don't work. My final draft script has come up to 3 pages which is a little overboard but I was trying to make the script at least 2 pages. The scenes are mostly dialogue with some important action, and I want to print it to give it to my actors: Chrisshanna (as Izel), Jessie Lee (as Darien), and G'oregeous (as Althea) , but I haven't been able to print. However, my solution to this problem is to go to the library, have my brother print it, or buy one. My next blog will either be the Script issue update or a new studio binder video. 

What Happened at Lauderhill 6-12 by: Kevil Denim The girl, who I'd rather not say her name, 15-year-old, 5'2, a Sophomore in High school committed after being bullied by her peers. But why? Was there something going on in her home? As her younger brother, I've witnessed majority of the story, and here's what happened: Backstory She grew up in an abusive home, where her dad used to abusive those closest to him especially the mother when he was mad. Her brother, our older brother abused her when he lost his temper on video games. It was a horrible setting, and I was the younger brother in all this, the adopted one who practically had to grow up on my own. The girl's peers picked on her despite not knowing her back story, and even I don't know anything about her passing. Rumors  All I know is that I no longer have a sibling, and it is rumored that she haunts the school which may be true because the janitor passed and a couple of the kids that bullied her that same ...

 I'm nearing the end of my pre-production, and I'm in the process of finding an acting crew and getting props for my film. But for this blog, I want to point out somethings in my script that's a bit different from the rough draft. Here's a side-by-side comparison: OLD SCRIPT I'm still trying to figure out a scene opening transition for the script, whether it should be a dissolve or a fade in, but my and my partner will come to conclusion on that. NEW SCRIPT  I made some subtle adjustments to the first scene like making a flashback in the first scene and putting editing notes in parenthesis. It's still all a work in progress, but the dialogue has changed a bit due to the 2:00 time limit. There are a few errors in the script but as said before it's a work in progress. In my next blog, I'll be creating an "article" for my film titles "What Really Happened at Lauderhill 6-12". This next blog is technically a prop that will be used in my f...

I've really been focusing on the knowledge I have obtained from characters of different films that may help in my film, my pre-production progress, and studio binder's help towards that progress as well as the knowledge i've obtained from them. Today, I will be talking about how directors use elements of visual storytelling, Mise en Scene to tell a story. Since my film will only be 2:00 minutes long, I have to incorporate meaningful visual elements that'll help tell the story on its own. But first, What is Mise en Scene?  Mise en Scene- Mise en Scene is French for "Placing on Stage" . It is the essence of filmmaking, the process of deciding what to include in the scene and where it should go on stage. All of these elements here: are very Important in a single shot. However, the ones circled are going to be the main elements in my 2;00 film, as my genre is horror. Without sound, props, lighting, frame rate, and specific costumes would make someone Like Michael ...

 The Anti-protagonist of my story, Althea, has a dark background. A background of being bullied and committing as a result of that. She haunts Lauderhill 6-12, as she takes territory here waiting for her chance of revenge on those who hurt her, this makes her have supernatural characteristics. Slashers such as Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Chucky possess supernatural characters: Jason Voorhees drowned at the age 11 and believed to have come back to avenge his mother at crystal lake, but he was alive and witnessed his mother's death. He and Althea have some similarities, as Jason wants to avenge his mother and Althea want to get revenge on those who caused her to commit. However, in my film Althea is a ghost that haunts a school and in Friday the 13th Voorhees never actually passed. Next is Freddy Krueger: Freddy has a similar rhythm of revenge, as he burned alive in a building, but his spirit was still alive. He stalks teenagers living on elm street who remember him by hinder...
