week eight: group meetings in class and ccr production

 GROUP MEETINGS 

 Guys this week also I have group meetings in my AICE MEDIA class were I have a talked with my group about their projects and really exchange ideas with my classmates

  What really make me happy was that everyone like my idea and nobody have something similar to my idea so it make me happy that I was going to be unique and special.

The meting in class really served as a tool to exchange ideas and to fix mistakes, for example one of our group receive advice from us and he therefore fix the problem 

  

Yesterday I finalized editing my CCR, the idea that I mention to you guys before about making it like a Hollywood fix video, I used it but my friend Geronimo Villamizar that help me film give me an idea and it was to make it like those Tin Tok's that a guy comes to your car and ask you "What do you do for Living", I think that this was a great idea overall so I used it and make the whole CCR if it was an interview in the street.

This is an image where I film my CCR and my friend was asking me what I do for living 

 

week eight: production process and major change

 Hello guys, this is a quick update on my last weeks blog. This week has been the most important and crucial week of all. During this week I've filmed and edited both my CCR and my opening scene. During Wednesday I filmed my opening scene with my friend Tomas Quesada that was very useful during all this process because he led me his house and father wedding suit to film. He also portrayed an excellent job acting and his debut was very important to my scene. 

My friend and I were all suited up for the scene that we film on Wednesday. We took 4 hours to film the whole video because we have a lot of bloopers were we were laughing because it was honestly pretty hard to concentrate the whole time because I was literally playing the role as someone that is crazy due to the trauma he has for the loss of his wife. 

This was the major change that I implemented on my opening scene because the idea was that my mom was going to tell me that my wife is gone but we decide to change this because this was a better follow-up scene where the audience can see that he is crazy and he is a patient in a mental health hospital. this was the most fun and entertaining scene in my opening scene because this is the plot twist of the movie were all the things he believe he was living was all in his head and he is actually in a mental health hospital. We took 45 tries to film this scene because I really have to display the role as someone that is crazy and can be dangeous to society. I display my emotions and really show his pain overall.

week seven: CCR planning

 CCR PLANNING

Hello guys so this is a continuation of my planning for the week, I will be also filming my CCR over this week, I decided to make a video clip for my CCR because I think is the most engaging and entertaining form to reflect on my project. I believe that doing a boring ppt will be so simple and people wont really get my personality and what type of person I am. 

The CCR will be film as a paparazzi caught me right after I arrived to a restaurant, I'm going to be dressed fancy so it can give a touch of a famous person since I will be recognized as the director of the film. My friend that has a Mercedes will let me his car so I can get off the car when the paparazzi come and interview me. 

This is the car of my friend, it is a pretty luxurious car so it will give me a touch as if I have money as a director in Hollywood. The CCR will be filmed as the camera men of the paparazzi interview me with a microphone and everything, the face of the paparazzi will never be shown as when those famous actor get interview in the street.

I will be taking "Hollywood Fix" as an inspiration, this guy interviews famous people In the streets of LA, he does it with so much confidence and I want to make it as natural as possible

 CHANGES & SETBACKS

 Hello guys this is a quick update on my blog, I got bad news for you guys I didn't film this week because an unexpected trip with my family occur. My family and I went to Sarasota since Wednesday, my aunts from Colombia came to visit us as a surprise. I was really happy to see my aunts because I haven't seen them since 2018, we laugh and enjoy our time mesmerizing how the time has pass and how each one of us has change mentally and physically. 

This is a picture with my aunts to show you guys how my family is an important part of my life and that I was really happy to spend this time with them

I basically just got home a few hours ago so this is why I didn't film but I will eventually start filming this week and keep you guys updated.

week six: schedule and location

 SCHEDULE AND LOCATION

  Hello guys how are you , this is the last post of the week in which I will be talking about the schedule of this upcoming week. On Tuesday, March 21 I will be calling my friend Tomas at night so I can arrange at what time I could go to his house on Wednesday where I can record my opening scene. If he cannot help me on Wednesday I will rearrange one the days of spring break where both him and me are available.

  The materials that I'm going to take to his house to film is basically my phone and that's it because he has a tripod at home where I can easily use to help me film. He is the one that is filming me so I trust him to shoot some good angles you know what I mean. The custom that is the wedding suit is already in his house because the suit is from his father, he has the same body composition as me so it will fit me good or even better LOL.  

 His house is located In Savannah so it is relatively close to my house which also benefits me.

Im super exited to finally film my opening scene this is going to be definitely the coolest part of the whole project. I will keep you guys updated this week take care 

week six: character background

 

  CHARACTER BACKGROUND

 Hello guys I hope you and your families are doing good, today I will give you a brief explanation on my character background. As I mentioned before the main character of my film will be me. This are some characteristics of my character:

- latino

-5'7 height

- 180 lbs

-white skin

- 30 years old

 My character is a adult that since the first time you see him he looks concern. He suffers from mental health problems, he changes emotion every minute, he laughs, cries, and screams out of the sudden. You might think he is a normal person but the truth is that the idea that he is getting married with his wife is complete fake and is all in his head. He is not living on a mental health problem facility as an asylum or mental hospital because he is not dangerous or is a threat to society he is just broken inside and with trauma for the loss of his wife. The real plot of the film is that he doesn't realizes that she is dead only for little moments of the day. 

This is picture of me for you guys see who is going to play the main character of my film. His name will also be SAMUEL LOPEZ

The second character of my opening scene will be the mom, The mom will never be shown during the opening scene because this is a little touch that I will like to give to make the audience believe that Samuel is imaging in it or is actually true. The only thing that the mom will appear will be her voice saying that she is dead.
