Hey Guys! By this point, we are still struggling with finding a proper time to meet and film. But it also felt unproductive to not discuss and tackle the factors which were feasible. One of these was fashion. Most of the wardrobe was quite obvious. The entire cast will be playing as ourselves, not special characters. Although we will have different names, our "acting" will not vary from our natural mannerisms. So, the same will apply to our fashion. Because of this, we will be wearing our typical clothing. It also works out great that we live in the beachy, tropical climate of Florida. All our daily wear already fits the aesthetic of a typical road trip. So Milana, and Sasha, and I decided to wear a typical cute and comfortable outfit which we would normally wear on a vacation. However, Sarah's wardrobe had a bit of complexity to it. Because her character will be the victim, we decided on adding little clues to convey this. She is doing this by dressing out in order to em...

 Hey Guys!! Today were gonna be talking about our process for choosing the music for our film.  We decided pretty unanimously not to attempt to ask permission to use copyrighted music. It would be tedious and far too risky, considering all the timing problems we have been having. So we will be using instrumental music as background music for the video. Picking out the genre was easy. Our goal was something fun, yet unsettling, so our audience can feel that something bad is will happen. Country music was an immediate no. Despite its subjective  obnoxiousness, it upbeat tone would go with the horror theme. A pop song would be far too happy, unless it transitioned into a creepier song. But one which is entirely eerie would fit a more Sci-Fi theme. Picking out the specific music was much harder. There were so many great songs brought up in discussion, yet each path eventually led to a path of copyright issues. But eventually, we found the perfect track. It was called Celtic,...

Hey Guys!! Welcome Back! Today, were going to talk about some issues which occurred while our group was discussing when we were going to plan. In our initial discussion, we realized that all of us had busy schedules which conflicted. Whether it be debate, sports, or family, it was extremely difficult to coordinate a time to film. After deciding that weekends were a non-negotiable due to prior commitments, we agreed on meeting up after school. Since one member had practice every day after school other than Fridays, it was obvious that Friday afternoons would be our only option. In order to secure enough time for editing, cutting and other post-filming processes, our goal was to film before the end of February. March would be saved for finishing touches in order to ensure that our finished product would be clean with no signs of rushing. Although it is reassuring that we already planned out all the details in our previous blogs, it is quite unsettling to consider any unexpected factors w...
