My Week of June 12, 2015

This week my film group started editing our third film. We ended up doing a PSA since we have always wanted to do one. We did not get to do a PSA at first because we were doing our first film on the talents of students in our community. Our second film, the music video, was a fun film to make because it was a genuine film capturing our moments. Thus, we all agree it'd be best to do a film about the drought, but with an added twist. I'm not so sure my film group would appreciate me spoiling the surprise. I'm also positive Mr. Lansdown reads my blogs so I don't want him knowing the surprise until he sees our film. I hope we finish in time so our film makes it to the afternoon film festival. We all agreed that the drought is a very serious issue right now. Of course, our climate has been an issue for a while now, but only until now are people realizing it.

My Week of June 5, 2015

This week really flew by. During the weekend that passed, a music video was recorded. My team and I finally finished our second film, a film about friends. The title of the film 'F is for Friend' follows the good times of friends who enjoy the company of each other. It entails the worry-free atmosphere within the friends and it shows good times in life. The beginning of the music video is a shot of me showering; I am remembering the good times I have had with my friends and the wonders we have all gone through together. Additionally, my team and I started talking abut our third film, a narrative film about spies and government agents. Originally, this was to be our second film, but we decided to leave it as our last film and do the music video before hand. It worked out perfect as our music video turned out to be really nice. The song we used was 'Ribs' by Lorde, a song that means so much to me as I can relate to it a great deal.

My Week of May 29, 2015

This week my film group got a fantastic idea. We switched our idea last minute and decided to do an action film. We will film tomorrow in Hollywood while we are visiting the Psychiatric Museum. The museum is so mysterious itself, and we can earn good footage when we're in Hollywood. The area itself will be an amazing place to shoot. The flashy place will make our film more believable. We will also be filming in sketchy parts. Our film consists of Spies and Russian Criminals who have stolen vital information the United States needs. Additionally, our film will be very edgy, but not too edgy to the point where it will be considered inappropriate. We will all be wearing the same style of clothes so it'll all look color coordinated, something that gives the film a more legitimate look. I am very excited to film this weekend, it'll be successful I can tell.

My Week of May 22nd, 2015

This week of May 22nd, 2015 my group and I have begun writing the script for our second film. Our second film consists about the drought we are currently facing in California. It's going to have a twist to it and I'm excited for Mr. Lansdown to see what we have up our sleeve. Moreover, we would like to start filming this weekend, however, I overheard Mr. Lansdown to Gabriela that there are no more cameras to checkout, so we would have to find another group to share the camera with. That's what our main goal right now is, to find a group who is willing to share a camera for this weekend. I hope we do find a group to share the camera with because the editing process, from what I have experienced doesn't take much time. I mean, of course it requires time, but it is more of a hassle to get the actual footage for the film done. None of us have any plans this weekend so it'd be ideal to film and finish filming this weekend.

My Week of May 15th, 2015

This past week on Sunday was the film festival at Little Tokyo. I did not get to go to the festival because I was in Nevada. My cousin is leaving for the army today, May 18th, 2015, and on Saturday there had been a gathering with family to say our last goodbyes. It was really sad seeing him go, and as we said goodbye to make our way back to California, a lot of tears were involved. I really don't like those emotional moments with family so I was very like "omg," but then I was like "omg" for another reason because I realized that it might have been the last time I see him for a good while. I mean, I did kind of not see him since I was in 7th grade. Additionally, my film group went to the film festival and their review about it was really good, so I imagine that all went well for others too. They told me one of Bell High's film won first place so that's good.

My Week of May 1st, 2015

Hello all, and to all, hello! I did not really accomplish a lot to be fairly honest. This week just consisted of me studying for my AP Tests that I started on May 4th, 2015, AP Psychology. In addition, I was preparing myself for prom which was May 2nd. Just in general, this week was very here and there, like there was really no progress. My team and I kept trying to think of an idea, but we really couldn't think  of one. We had one grip on an idea, but we couldn't agree. Oh in fact, this was the week that I got in an argument with my film  group and decided to go solo. I did not do this blog in time, but in the blog of May 8th, 2015, I explain the argument more thoroughly. Basically, I wanted to do a music video, but my ideas weren't what they wanted so I wanted to go solo and express my ideas somewhere else, by myself.

My Week of May 8th, 2015

This week I got together with my film group. Originally, I had opted to be by myself the second time around, but events with my then previous group changed my mind and I agreed to be in their film team. Additionally, the first film we made, made it to the film festival that will be hosted in the district known as "Little Tokyo." My team is so excited for it, and we will all most likely be carpooling. Another interesting event that happened was the "lights out" minimum day on Friday, May 8th, 2015. The rain on Thursday night was so rough, and a lightning bolt had struck the power line, thus resulting our school to not have light at all. Going back to our film production, we have our new idea, which has to be pitched, and our members from 5th period are already working on the script even though we haven't pitched our idea.
