Reflection

As I get closer to the end of this project, there are many things I must reflect on. I remember feeling so clueless and stressed when this project first started because I felt like I would not be able to do it, or if I did do it, it would be bad. However, as the weeks have gone by, I've created a pretty neat idea (or so I think so) and I've had the time to assemble this project together. I grew more confident as time went on. Additionally, I learned SOOO many new things. For starters, I learned the important of framing and how it contributes to making shots look more structured. I also learned how important sound editing and volume is. I was scared to start editing because I had never in my life used Adobe Premiere Pro, nevertheless, I challenged myself and I'm so glad I did. If it wouldn't have been more the gazillions of Premiere Pro tutorials I binge watched, I wouldn't have been able to implement effects such as the amplified sounds of the voices, the transition from black and white to color and vice versa, and the iris shot. I feel extremely grateful to have had such wonderful people as my actors and crew, no words can describe how much I appreciate them and their contribution to this project. Although there were times were I felt discouraged because some things didn't go as planned ( like when one of my actors didn't show up and I had to cut their part out), I forced myself to continue to keep my head held high.  I learned that in life, there will always be obstacles, and as humans we can decide if we want them to let them get the best of us or not. I decided not to let mishaps discourage me to the point were I would give up, instead, I became more motivated to work my way around these problems. As I sit here writing this quickly, so that I can finish my CCR, I just have one more thing to say: I loved this project SOO much. I loved absolutely everything about it. The planning. The editing. The polishing. I adore it. Man, I wish I would have taken this class my junior year of high school, so that I would've taken my A level this year. Oh well.

This is all from me. I gots to go. See ya so0o0onn😎

Improvement: CCR Question TREE

From creating the plot to editing and everything in between, crafting 2 minutes of a film requires thorough planning.

Some of the biggest things that must be taken into consideration are the development of characters, the setting, the costume designing, and other mise-en-scene elements. 

Over the course of this project, my production skills have developed. I learned more about framing and how important it is for the shots to look neater. Lighting is another thing I learned about. While all of the lights at Lucille's were turned on for the opening and the end, the ceiling lights were turned off for the musical number. I did not want this scene to be too bright as I wanted the dim lighting to create a sense of mystery and curiosity. Planning out the costumes was one of my favorite parts of the project. I got a lot of my costume inspiration from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. For example, I wanted Annette's character to wear a red, flared dress, similar to the ones that Mrs. Maisel wears in one of her performances. For Geraldine's character, I wanted her costume to resemble Mrs. Maisel's costume in the army episode. Some key accessories such as necklaces, long gloves, and coats were key in making Annette and Geraldine's characters seem like they were in the 50s. Apart from costumes, hair and make-up were other elements that had to be planned. The server and Annette used wigs since ladies in the 50s usually wore up-dos or styled hair. While Geraldine's character did not wear a wig, her hair did get curled. For make-up, I wanted them to look as natural as possible, however, for the musical number, I wanted Annette and Geraldine to wear red lipstick and highlight to enhance their characters during this fantasy moment. Sound editing was another factor that I worked on. I utilized background restaurant noises to aid in creating a restaurant atmosphere. I also had to amplify and use the high pass and low pass effects to make the voices of Annette and The Server sound more vintage and match with the vintage style of the voices her in "Suddenly" and "Lover's Fantasy". I sent my rough draft of my film opening to some friends and they gave me great constructive criticism. While I really appreciated their criticism and suggestions, I did not agree with some of them and that's okay! I really considered all of the suggestions they offered, but I also stuck to my gut feeling and kept some things the way they were. 

Target Audience & Distribution: CCR Question Numba Two

Deadline to turn in the project is approaching soon, so here's the second question of the CCR:

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

My film would be targeted towards those who are intrigued by musicals, romance, and the 1950s. Therefore, it can be said that the age range for my target audience is pretty wide as it ranges from the young ages to the much older ones. The age range expands pretty far since many people that are currently in their 70s-90s lived in the 1950s, so they'll be interested in watching the film in hopes of reliving their past.

One of the main ways that I will distribute my film to audiences is by promoting my film through social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook. I would create an account for my film on each of these platforms where I would post trailers, photo stills, and information about my film. Additionally, I would create a filter on these platforms in the theme of the 1950s that plays songs from the film whenever consumers use it. Posting my film on Vimeo, a platform that many filmmakers utilize to showcase their work, would also be another way of distributing my film. 

In-person events such as film festivals would be a good way to distribute my film. Of course, it wouldn't be a big, pricy film festival, but even the film festival that my school hosts every year would help the film get recognition. Local film festivals like the Miami Film Festival. In short, I plan on working my way up. Due to the budget, I'd have to focus on distributing my film through digital mediums and in-person events.

Since my film contains original music by Alejandro Rodriguez, I could synergize with him. By doing this, we both will benefit since I would engage with his audience and my audience would engage with him. This would help us both get recognition for our work. Another artist I could synergize would be The Commandeers since they are the artists of the opening song. This band is well-known by many music companies and have many fans. I believe that interacting with them, would be a great way to promote Cupid's Advocate.

Conventions & Representations: CCR Question Numero Uno

In order to be prepared for my CCR, I want to organize the questions into different blog posts. In this blog, I'll be answering da first question: 

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

My film can be categorized under the musical film genre; here are some conventions of musical movies:

-Includes songs which aid in advancing the plot 

-Choreography is implemented in some musical numbers

-Cinematography includes colorful shots

-Romantic relationships are present

-Narratives typically contain a cheerful tone

-Music is used as a coping mechanism; some characters sing their sentiments and it helps them heal

My films follows all of the conventions listed above. To begin with, songs (that characters will sing and dance to) would be featured in the film. Implementing songs throughout the film will aid in developing the storyline. During upbeat and jazzy songs, choreography will be present. However, in songs that have a slower tempo, choreography will not be needed as close-up shots would be utilized more to help the audience connect with the character. While film musicals typically contain a luminous color scheme, my film will only show color during the song, "Lover's Fantasy". Since my movie is set in the 1950s, I believe it's appropriate to have the rest of the film be in black and white. Romantic relationships will be featured in my film as the protagonist, Geraldine, is the one who enjoys setting people up. For the most part, the plot of the movie contains a cheerful tone. The tone will shift when one of the couples that Geraldine matches up together, don't end up working out, so Geraldine feels disappointed since she's always been successful helping people find their true loves. Nonetheless, this part is not included in the opening, so it can be said that the overall tone of the opening is cheerful, yet a tad mysterious. The way my film will challenge conventions is that the plot does not revolve around two characters falling in love; this type of plot is scene in musical films such as Grease and La La Land. Moreover, it mainly revolves about Geraldine and her way of pairing people up.

Representation:

I had to do a lot of research when it came down to learning more about social groups present in the 1950s. Since World War II ended and a baby boom immediately followed, the 50s were an era of youth culture. Many teenage social groups were divided into stereotypical cliques such as: the jocks, the popular people, and the nerds. All of these cliques were known to be angsty and rebellious teenagers. While these were the dominant social groups present during this time period, I chose not to stick by these stereotypical groups when it came to creating my own characters. A social group that my film represents is the innocent, young people of the 50s. For example, Annette and Ricky, the first couple that the audience sees Geraldine pair up, would be a great example of this since both of them are shy and have never fallen in love with anyone before. The main issue that would occur in this film would mainly affect Geraldine as she would feel extremely discouraged when one of the couples she matched up together, break up. Her discouragement would lead her to consider quitting what she enjoys doing the most: seeing people fall in love with each other. Nevertheless, as she takes a break from her hobby, she unexpectedly falls in love with someone. This would be another issue as she never imagines herself to feel so passionate about someone else, therefore, she's hard on herself and does everything in her power to convince herself that she's not in love. Her feelings end up becoming too strong, that she comes to terms with the fact that she's in love.

Editing is DONE

Ladies & Gents, the film opening has been officially EDITED!

YUH

After editing for 7-8 hours for the past 8 days,  (I literally don't know why it took so long, I thought it would only take 2 days🤡)she has been finished.

My pride, my joy, my baby. 🤰 (yes, that is a pregnant emoji)

I finished editing my film opening and now I'm going to send it to some trusted people so that they can give me critiques before I officially turn it in!

Update: I have received some feedback from some cool people whose opinions really matter to me. Here's what they said:

The One & Only Jake Fretwell- told me to raise the volume of the dialogue between Annette and The Server; said framing for the dance was weird (I 100% agree with him, but we only had 8 minutes to film the dance before my manager kicked us out :-( )

My Momma- told me that there was different lighting in the dance clips (will try to fix this); said to make a smooth transition of sound between the beginning and the dance.

Ms. Future-Doctor-To-Be Silvia Zervos- told me to lower the volume of the music at the beginning in order to hear the dialogue; said the transition from Lover's Fantasy (dance song) to Suddenly (the ending) was abrupt (I like that it's abrupt though because it's supposed to be a "snapping out of the moment" type of feel)

Shoutout to these awesome people!! Supa dupa thankful for their advice, I will definitely take everything they said into consideration.

Now, unto da CCR!

More Music Stufffff

 Heyoooo☮

After doing much research on websites such as Chosic, Soundstripe, and Epidemic Sound, I have finally found the perfect song for the beginning. The song I decided on was "Suddenly" by The Commandeers. I actually found this gem on Premium Beat and I obtained the rights to it (see below). Once I listened to it, I loved the old feel it had to it. I had originally planned on looking for 2 different songs for the beginning and the end; however, this song is long enough to use it both for the beginning (before dance) and at the end (after dance). I really enjoyed the last 10 seconds of this song for the ending of the film opening because it ends with 3 beats and I realized that I could have something happening in those 3 beats. In the first beat, Geraldine raises her eyebrows. In the second beat, the iris shot closes the screen. Lastly, in the third beat, the title appears with floating, red hearts.

Struggling to make a spinning transition :(

 currently crying😀

I've been editing my film project for the past 6 days. I did not think it would take this long, but I guess it is since it's my first time using Adobe. Likewise, I 've had to do a lot of research and I've had to watch a lot of tutorials on how to do even the easiest thing. For example, I had to search up a tutorial on how to cut a video so I could use the leftover clip for another part of the project. I've spent the last 3 hours of my life trying to figure out how to make a spinning transition on Premier Pro, but none of the tutorials have been helpful and I think it's because the clips I want the transition on are too short:(

A. Spinning. Transition. 

Sounds easy right?, Well it's not easy for a 17 year old teenager who has the intelligence of a grandma when it comes to Premier Pro. If I had a penny for every time I created a new adjustment layer to try to create a SPIN, I could buy 5 Teslas. Okay, I give up on making a spinning transition between "real life" and the "fantasy moment"... I'm going to try to make a whip pan transition. Send.HELP.

Enjoy this photo of me at 4am.

CREDITS

CREDITS! YUH! they have been added to the film opening😌

I had so much fun designing the title card for my production company. For starters, the name "LIZEMA" is a mix of Elizabeth Olsen & Emma Stone because they are my biggest Hollywood role models. I wanted the font to radiate a 70s vibe (ironic because the movie is set in the 50s), but I love the 70s. I also replaced the "O"s in "Production" with peace signs so that it would have more of that 70s feel. Overall, I wanted this title card to radiate some aspects of my personality/people that inspire me.

I decided to utilize different fonts for the title and the names. The font for the title is Onyx from Premier Pro and the font for the name is HucklebuckJF from Premier Pro. These fonts can also be seen in the other credits shown below.

I put Mrs. Lutwin's name first since she's the protagonist.

After introducing my actors, I introduced the composer of Lover's Fantasy, Alejandro Rodriguez.

In the last edit I included my name under the title "Written, Produced, Edited, and Directed by".

God Bless Youtube Tutorials

I just finished binge-watching a bunch of Adobe Premier Pro Youtube tutorials and boy, were they helpful!

How to Create a Vignette in Premier Pro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_n-kr1Z3hk

    I found this tutorial as I searched for help in editing an Iris Shot. I want to use this type of shot at the end when Geraldine winks at Annette. This video was very helpful and it helped me create the circle shape  that I needed. Nonetheless, it does not specify how to animate the vignette so that it becomes the circle, so I had to search for other videos.

Adobe Premier Pro Tip 5 "Iris Rond" NL: https://youtu.be/x1ZXkXCmb8o

    This tutorial was very helpful because it showed how to create the circle and animate the vignette, however, since the narrator isn't speaking in English, I coudn't really understand what they were explaining, I tried to do it by watching him, but I got lost. Nevertheless, this tutorial is great!

Soft Iris (Vignette) Effect for Tone Poem Task...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd0rhvgZkLk&t=288s

    THIS TUTORIAL!!!!!!!! MY FAVORITE!!! I absolutely love this video and I love how the narrator took his time in explaining how to create an Iris Shot. Not only did I learn how to create the circle and animate the vignette, but I also learned to feather the circle, so that it wouldn't look too strict. I truly enjoyed learning from this tutorial.

YUHHH celebration nationnnnnn

Now that my Iris Shot has been created, I started watching tutorials on how to create a transition from color to black and white and vice versa.

Premier Pro CC: How to do Black and White to Color Transition Effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKfhDhJwCPg

    Okay, these tutorials are so amazing. Not only do they get to the point, buttt they get to the point in a MINUTE (yay! I dislike long, boring tutorials). After these tutorials, I was easily able to create that color transition in my film. I'm still playing around with it because I want to try different options before solidifying it, but I'm glad I learned new things.

The computer quality makes it look so grainy😭but I promise the color transition is smooth.

Alright, that's it from me, HASTA LA VISTA!- go eat pineapple and watch La La Land :)

The Beginning of Editing

 Now that filming is done, editing time has started. I usually edit my videos on iMovie and then edit the sound on WeVideo. However, I really want to challenge myself by editing through a new software. During a group discussion on our projects, one of my classmates recommended that I use DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premier Pro. I have never used any of these softwares, but I'm definitely interested in learning how to utilize them. I decided to try out DaVinci Resolve and while it downloaded, I drove all the way to Disney World and back....jk... but it really did take forever to download. When it finally downloaded, it didn't work- yeah, bye DaVinci Resolve. After I got over my melancholic, yet short heartbreak with DaVinci Resolve, I decided to use Adobe Premier Pro. This software took about an hour and a half to download (UGH), but it works splendidly😌. As a newbie to Premier Pro, I felt scared to try this new platform out, but I was also excited. 

Day #1 of Editing (03/22):

I imported all of my video clips into Premier Pro and ordered them on the timeline. I then adjusted the lengths of some of the clips so that the overall video would not surpass 2 minutes. After 2 hours of playing around with my new toy, I called it a day.

Day #2 of Editing (03/23):

On the second day (well, more like night because I started at 11:30pm) of editing, I assembled my videos in a different order than I had the night before because I thought that the new order contributed in advancing the plot of the film. I also started researching "how to" tutorials of Adobe Premier Pro because I'm such a grandma when it comes to using this high tech, video software (another blog post is up which talks about every tutorial I have watched thus far).

Day #3 of Editing (03/24):

I'm editing in a hotel in Savannah, GA. Although I'm on vacation, I toured SCAD today and got so inspired by their film & television department, that I rushed to the hotel after the tour ended and continued to edit my project. I'm focusing on finding music for the opening and the end of the film. My teacher suggested for us to look at an awesome website (chosic.com) to find free music. I went under the "Old" music category and found a couple of options to choose from, but I haven't decided on the two that I will use.

Well, this is all of the editing updates I have for you at the moment,,,

HASTA LA VISTA!- go eat pineapple and watch La La Land :)

FILMING DAY!!!

Today has been the busiest day ever. For starters, we filmed my school's musical, 9 to 5, today and boy was that exhausting. After we finished filming, it was time to film my film project. Since my actors and tech crew are all theater with me, they were also exhausted. I felt bad making them film my project on the same day as we filmed the musical, but today was the only day we could film at Lucille's.

Last night, I organized every single prop and costume accessorry into two boxes. I was missing some props like the spray bottle and a white mug, so I drove to Dollar Store to buy them and other missing props. When I finally collected all of my props, I packed up the prop boxes and the tripods in my car. 

We finished filming the musical at 5:00pm and then I went to Publix to get some Pub Subs for my actors. We then ate at the dressing rooms and bonded . 6:30PM came around and we each went home to shower and came back to school at 7:30pm so that they could do their hair and makeup. 

the coolest people ever 

We also had to do Mrs. Lutwin's hair and makeup and it was so funny seeing her wear tons of makeup when she hardly uses any. Ashley curled Mrs. Lutwin's hair and did her makeup with the help of Clementina. They added some blue eye shadow and highlight so that her makeup would match her dress. I was helping Bella get ready. We did not straighten or curl her hair, she actually ended up using the wig that I used for the musical since it had a 1950s style (I PROMISE WE DO NOT HAVE LICE). Clementina used the wig that she used for the musical for my film and it looked awesome with her costume. Additionally, Roy did not have to do much to his hair, lucky him.

Doing Mrs. Lutwin's makeup

We ended up leaving school around 8:40pm which was a little late because we were supposed to be at Lucille's at 8:45pm. When we arrived, we came across a pretty big problem... my manager (who was also supposed to be my actor) was leaving and before I could stop him, he was gone, so I went to my other manager and she said she would stay while we filmed (thanks girl!). Since my other manager was gone, I had to cut his part and dialogue out. 

By 10:30, we finished filming and started packing up. It was an exhausting day, but it was so much fun, I'm so glad I chose this group of people to do this with. I made my cast "thank you" cards because words can't explain how thankful I am for their help. 

Here are some pictures of the shoot:

DREAM TEAMM!!! omg I was so tired look at my eyes

HASTA LA VISTA!- go eat pineapple and watch La La Land :)

Da Bible

ALL HAIL DA HOLY BIBLE! She is beauty, she is grace.

 With filming being tomorrow, I started a Google Document which will be my film opening bible since it will contain everything that I will need to make a film opening. I will also be providing my actors and crew with this bible so that they are completely informed. My bible is 18 pages long and contains everything from props to schedules to character descriptions and more! It took me about 6 hours to create her since there is so much information that I had to include. Since there are so many pages, I'm going to upload a video of me scrolling through them, but I will also attach a link to the full document. I hope you enjoy!

Newbies

Welcome to da project, Clem, Ashley, Katie, and Laura! 

As I was doing some brainstorming, I realized that I hadn't cast anyone as The Server yet. Additionally, I realized that I would need to use some help backstage, so I called a few of my friends to see if they were down to help me!

Clementina Franceschi as The Server

Clementina has been doing theater for a really long time now and I'm so stocked she's playing this role! Some of her previous roles include "Judy" in 9 to 5, "Sherri" in Rock of Ages, and "Gabriella" in High School Musical the Musical.

My Tech Crew!!!!

This all-woman-power tech crew will be in charge of helping me set up the set, lighting, speaker, platform stage, and tables. Likewise, they'll also be responsible for changing the set to the "fantasy set" and turning the spotlights on and off for when the fantasy moment starts and ends.
 

Ashley Valent

Ashley Valent has experience working backstage for theater plays/shows. She's stage managed War At Home, Swagger, and Aladdin JR.

Katie Kanefsky

Katie Kanefsky has experience using her dad's high-tech video camera. She help record my school's musicals: Aladdin JR. and 9 to 5.

Laura Mariné

Laura Mariné has not had much experience with tech crew stuff, but I'm glad that this project will help her learn new stuff!

HASTA LA VISTA!- go eat pineapple and watch La La Land :)

SCRIPT!

 The script is done!!! Oh yeahhh! 

She might seem short since she's only 2 pages long, but the overall film opening will not be as short since the dance take up about 75% of the 2 minute max limit.

update: the image of the script is so hard to read, but if you click on each image, it should look clearer!

HASTA LA VISTA!- go eat pineapple and watch La La Land :)

Rehearsals!!!

 We had 2 rehearsals this week and we got so much done! 

In our first rehearsal, I had my actors listen to the song over and over again until we all became familiar with it. We had to cut this rehearsal short because we were all so exhausted after having a 5 hour rehearsal for our school show that same day. 

During our second rehearsal, we blocked the dialouge scenes and choreographed the dance! YAY! I am so happy with how the dance turned out. I, myself, am not a dancer, but I did have a vision of some movements I wanted in the dance. I communicated my thoughts with my dancers, who also choreographed the dance, and they definitely brought my vision to life, they're insanely talented and I'm sososososososooso thankful for them!💖

Here's some rehearsal footage!

                                                        Here's a sneak peek of da dancee hehe

We rehearsed in our school's auditorium!

My friend, Ashley, took some pictures of the rehearsal process

Target Audience!

Understanding what the target audience for a film is, is sooo important! Understanding and acknowledging the target audience can help make a director imply certain factors that he/she/they know the audience will enjoy. If the audience enjoys what they're watching, they'll invest in the film, which will increase profits for the film production company.

Before solidifying my target audience, I did some research. I read a couple of articles (all links listed below) and I learned a lot about target audiences in film: Here's some things I learned:

• The definition of target audience does NOT include everyone, only a niche group of people
• To define the target audience for a particular project, ask yourself: What makes this piece different from any other pieces? What would make people choose this piece over other similar pieces?
• The target audience for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (a show set in the 1950s) was about 62% women.
• Creating content that people can relate to will attract more viewers.

The target audience for my film ranges from ages 13-80. Yes, this is a wide age gap, however, my film includes comedic and romantic moments, which are appealing to the youngers ages while also being set in the 1950s, which will attract older people as they lived during that time period. Moreover, older people might be able to relate to it.

Decided on a Title checkkkk

 I've been some thinking about what I should title my film... Many title names have crossed my mind but they've all been too cheesy and cringe yuck. However, I was able to narrow down my choices and now I'm deciding between these three:

1. Colored Tiles
2. Salt & Pepper
3. Cupid's Advocate 

Colored Tiles: the reason why I'm thinking of this name is because of the floor tiles at our shooting location; I plan on taking some shots of their shoes as they dance and the black and blue tiles will be visible.

Salt & Pepper:  the reason why I'm thinking of this name is because I want the opening shot to be of Geraldine putting salt and pepper in her food; I was also hoping that the salt and pepper would symbolize Annette and Ricky as they're both salty and their romance is spicy. Okay EW, I think I needed to type that last sentence to realize how cringy of a title that is.

Cupid's Advocate: the reason why I'm thinking of this name is because I like how it hints at how Geraldine loves pairing people up with each other.

After doing some more thinking, I decided to stick with "Cupid's Advocate" because I think that it describes Geraldine, the protagonist, perfectly. Moreover, I also like how it plays on the common saying "The Devil's Advocate".

I'm glad I finally solidified my title because now I can solidify and polish my script!!!! 

MUSIC IS DONE!!!!

Drum roll puh-leaseeee,,,,,,🥁🥁🥁

DA SONG IS DONE! oh yeahh😎

My amazing friend and composer, Alejo, finished the song! I have yet to listen to it because I'm in class, but I'm going to listen to it in a few minutes. Be right back.

Update: ok hello again, I just finished class and I listened to the song,,, WOW,,, just,,, WOW,,, Alejo really outdid himself with this one. He flawlessly created a song with everything I wanted in it: the sexy tone, the jazzy tune, the intriguing beat, THE SNAPS. I'm so so so sooooo thankful for having someone as amazing and creative as Alejo in my life. I cannot wait to feature his original song in my project! AHH! 

Now, I suppose you're all curious to know what the song sounds like, so I feel like I owe you guys a sneak peak of it (I won't be posting all of it now, I rather the rest be a total surprise), but here's a snippet:

Yup. That's all you get.... for now😏

Oh alright, alright, I'll give you another sneak peak, but of the lyrics this time:

I realllyyyyy likes these lyrics, they're not cheesy or cringy, instead, they create mystery and tension. Lovee them.

Well, this is all for now!
