Critical Reflection Short Film

  1. How do your products represent social groups or issues? In the short video, Jack, Sophia, and other friends are shown going on an exciting adventure that begins with an abandoned boat and finishes with a series of mysterious hints. The film carefully addresses friendship, trust, betrayal, and the generational conflict between Sophia and her father throughout its plot. In addition to character interactions, the setting and events that take place also serve to examine these social dynamics. The group of friends stands for adolescent curiosity, an adventurous spirit, and the connection they have with each other. But the disclosure of more serious subjects like criminal activity and dysfunctional families provides a critical examination of the generational problems between Sophia and her father, Will. Through Will's character, the movie examines issues of power, family secrets, and the struggle for control. A critical examination of control in familial connections is suggested by ...

Production Blog: Almost done

Image
 Hello Bloggers! Welcome back to another blog. We are so exited. Tomorrow we are finally posting our Short Film. We have worked so hard on this project. We laughed. We argued. We made up. We had so much fun filming it. We also loved editing it because we saw all the bloopers and scenes of us laughing. It was so cute. This was a great experience. We are all so sad that this was our last time filming together. We loved this class so much. We bonded over this class. After we were done with everything and we had it ready to post, we had to celebrate that we were done. So we all went to a fancy restaurant and had dinner as a reward for our hard work.  This was a great experience. Thank you all for going to this journey with us! i hope to see you again soon.

Production blog: Website

Image
  Hey bloggers! We're back with another blog and today is another exciting news. Today we will be talking about our new website for our own movie. As I've mentioned before we were tasked with a website and a post card with our short film. As we have just completed our post card, we had to plan on how to work on the website. The website task is a little longer than the post card, so we have to start it early. We planned to go again to Starbucks but we didn't want to do that again. What we did was we stayed at my house and worked on it. At first we were struggling to find a good website template but after a lot of time looking we finally found something nice. We found something that matches our theme of the movie. So after we found it we began to fill up all the information we needed for the website as we had to include a summary, facts, date of release, actors, photos, etc. It took us quite some time to work on it as we would get distracted easily. But even with distractions...

Production Blog: Post card

Image
Hello bloggers! We are back with another blog and today I have exciting news to provide to you guys. As you guys may think that this blog is about the video, well your wrong. This blog will be about a new addition to this project which is the post card. As we were assigned to make a short film, we are also assigned to make a post card and a website. So to get this started we all met up at Starbucks once again. We love going to Starbucks since it's our study spot and it also helps me focus a lot. Anyways we all sat down and decided to work on the post card. We left the website for another day since it was going to be a lot and we got to Starbucks a little late. So for the post card we had to make sure to add the publish date of the movie. Then we had to include the productions which was JNC STUDIOS. Another information that we had to provide is different showtime dates which we made up. We also had to make sure that the picture in the post card matches the theme of our short film. S...

Production Blog: editing

Image
Hi Bloggers! Welcome back to another blog. In this blog i will be writing about our filming process. The editing its self was not hard at all. Since we did it last year, we had more experience with it. The only thing that stressed me out was iMovie. If you make one mistake, it doesn't let you go back. So if i messed up on one scene editing it, i would have to start editing that part all over again. Adding the music was also easy. The only thing i had to learn how to do better was the volume. Since the music is loud, whenever we start talking it has to get lower and slowly fade away. That was a little hard to do. But once i figured out how to do it, it made it sound a little better. Another thing that i did not know how to fix was the background noise. You can hear the wind and a lot of outside noises. It does not sound good. Also, our voices in some scenes are very low. I tried to do the best i could. It might not look the best, but i enjoyed doing it. Thank you bloggers, i will se...

Production Blog: Problem Solving

Image
 Hello Bloggers! Welcome back. In this blog i will be talking about some problems we had during the filming process.  It was a struggle with the filming process. We had multiple complications and even got into arguments. One of the days that we filmed, it was chaotic. It was when we looked up the coordinates and went to the house where Nicholas was thrown in the pool. We had to film the scenes at that house multiple times. Everyone kept laughing. I started getting stressed out because i just wanted to get it over with and move on to the next scene. After so many tries on one scene, we finally got it. Another example was when we were outside and the truck went in front of the car. During those scenes, everyone started getting distracted and having side conversations. It was already getting very dark. So i started getting really frustrated because no one was listening and they kept laughing at everything. After all of this, we all had a conversation. We all came to an agreement ...
