Hey! So on Saturday, Amelie, Isaac, and Lilly visited my house. We met up at about 10:30 am. Amelie arrived at 10, so I showed her the props I had been working on the night before. They looked excellent! I “made” three books by printing out book jackets that would fit well. I also wrote a title on a Sharpie pen, as we had planned. But, it did not turn out at all how I had wanted it to. I was extremely disappointed. So, when Amelie got to my house, I asked her advice and we decided to make two friendship bracelets for the last needed title. They needed to describe that “Sammie Burton” was the executive producer. So we made one bracelet that said “EXEC PROD” which equated to “executive producer” and another one that had two layers. The top layer said “SAMMIE” and the bottom layer said “BURTON.” After spilling the beads a few times, which I was extremely frustrated with, I finished the bracelet! It was only when I put it on Amelie’s hand that I realized I had misspelled the name. In...
Hey again! To finish up filming, we had three more shots to get! Another book, showing “Written by”; the friendship bracelets, showing “Executive producer”; and a phone screen, showing “Music by.” We first took a shot of the book. We had already accounted for all the required shots in our movie, so we had some more freedom with this. We decided to play around with the Dutch angle. We removed some books from the shelf and placed one book, the subject of our shot. We placed it so that it was slanted, and diagonal compared to the top and bottom, horizontal lines of the bookshelf, and the side-to-side, vertical lines of the books. The shot started with the vertical lines vertical, the horizontal lines horizontal, and our book slanted - making it a bit challenging to read the title. As the shot progressed, I rotated the camera so the text on our book spine was legible. The other lines in the shot were now slanted - our book is now the only thing making sense in the shot’s contex...
Hey! Our group has done so much planning and we are finally ready to make moves! The first thing we started with on our final task was music. To start, we all looked through our Spotify playlists, trying to think of anything that would fit our movie. After some time, one of us finally suggested we use the Radiohead song, “Everything in Its Right Place.” It seemed like a perfect fit for our concept. And after talking to my dad about it, that was even more confirmed. The song was written to depict themes of depression, confusion, and trying to find a place in the world. There are very similar themes within our movie! Amelie got to work right away, we found as many people related to Radiohead as possible. We reached out on every platform. This includes email, Instagram, and Twitter. After some waiting time, Amelie was written back! She got a message back from Colin Greenwood’s Instagram account. We couldn’t believe it! He said he would help us get the rights to the song for ou...
