Critical Reflection Questions

 • How do your products represent social groups or issues?

My products represent social groups or issues through various ways. I believe that the short film can bring awareness to the dangers of social media. In the past, I’ve always put a subtle theme of how powerful social media can be. In today's day in age social media has become a part of the way we communicate with one another. It has become one of the main ways we communicate. Social media has the ability to connect people, keep people in touch, and share news. Although there are a lot of positive aspects, there are some negative aspects that social media can bring. Social media allows people to become anonymous. Anonymity gives users the ability to disguise themselves to lure their victims in. Since the victims can’t truly know who’s on the other side of the screen, they can’t defend themselves. It hides the true identity of a predator. Another issue that the film can bring into life is the gender stereotype of only men being the predator. Yes, the majority cases, the man is the one that preys on the victim of their choice. However, there are cases that women are the predators that prey on victims. These types of cases do not receive the same amount of recognition as the others. This film shows the audience to always be careful. Even though the film is the main form of representation, the other products like the postcard, website, and platforms, help in solidifying what the film represents. 

• How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of ‘branding’?

The elements that we tried to merge together are social media and miami. Two things that really don’t have much in common. However, we made it work. We used how popular social media is and pointed out the flaws that it has. The social media that was highlighted in the film was Instagram, but our message of branding can be applied to all social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok, Snapchat, and even Linkedin. In every major city, social media is heavily used. Here in South Florida you constantly see individuals tagging locations such as our beaches, restaurants, city, park, and just about everywhere else with a view in South Florida and that is about every single place you go down here. So when creating the story we wanted the sense of branding to show flashy ‘Instagram worthy’ locations, and how those locations can lead to in-person stocking or kidnapping situations which have happened several times in our community and around the world. Throughout the film, we connected social media with Miami by filming at some of the most popular places in South Florida. We filmed at the second largest statue in North America the Gulfstream Pegasus, which has been tagged a total of 58,608 times on Instagram. Then we filmed in Wynwood, Florida which has been tagged more than 3.4 million times on Instagram. Likewise, we filmed at Las Olas which has been tagged over 366 thousand times. These locations were utilized to build a brand and show the audience a connection between how easy it is for someone to track one’s location via Social Media.

• How do your products engage with the audience?

The products engage the audience in special ways. I decided that it was important to make sure that the audience has the ability to connect with the film and the other products as well. With whatever the message of a film may be, it’s important that it engages with the audience. Even though the main purpose of a film is to entertain its audience, it needs to do this while being engaging. Ways to engage the audience can be through different ways. One being to allow the audience to interpret scenes and use their imagination. Another being allowing the audience to identify with an event of a story and project its meaning. The last being to allow the audience to pinpoint certain things within the story that explains events that happened. We chose to use the second way of engaging the audience. Since the story itself is about the dangers of social media and never knowing who a person is, we thought it best to let the audience relate to it. We wanted to challenge them to view their own social media habits. Who they were interacting with. If they really knew the kind of person they are. The amount of information that they are letting be known. The film is engaging through asking the audience if they are using social media safely. After watching the film, the audience should self reflect. The other products like the postcard, website, and platforms are used to promote the film. Since it helps in promoting the film, it’s helping spread the awareness of how to use social media safely. Of course, the film is to be interpreted in any way the audience sees fit, so they will engage with it how they feel. 

• How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions?

Our Short film challenges the positives and negatives of social media. We wrote our short film to bring to light some of the many dangers present with social media. As seen in our product we show how easily social media can be stalked and how much information can be leaked and gained. Our product shows how easy it would be for someone to stalk someone anonymously and ‘introduce’ themselves’. This can and does happen often when individuals make friendships seem natural and innocent. When in reality they are being forced into friendship due to the large amount of information individuals release via social media. Our product challenges our audience to break the social conventions of constantly updating and sharing information with large masses of people on social media. Iit can lead to a clear and present danger in the future much like our main character Leo ran into during the short film. Although our short film had a dramatic ending of death, it is really not. Every year nearly 134 children are kidnapped due to social media contact. Some of these children were never found and still remained lost, so this dramatic ending for our main character could be compared as peaceful to the real pain social media has caused others. Likewise over forty-one percent of individuals have had a bad experience dealing with social media. Our film does not blatantly tell the audience to stop using social media, but it challenges them to reevaluate the necessity of constant location updates and posting as it could lead to kidnapping, harassment, or even death.

Our Postcard 

Scheduled to film!

 After talking to the team we decided that over the weekend would be best to film the last scene of our film. Since the deadline is coming up soon so we want to make sure that everything is in order. We want to make sure that this film is our best work. Both Jonathon and I want this film to reflect our best abilities and what we're capable of as a team. The scenes should take no more than an hour and a half. Then we can use the rest of the time to edit. We also need to polish off the website. It all honestly seems like a lot but we've budgeted out time really well. We're not stressing out...that bad. I've done the majority of the postcard. It only needs a little bit more work. All the social media is up to date. It was fun to post on the social media. Trying to think of creative ways to post on the social media was fun. Playing around with the social media is exciting to do because it channels a different art form. The social media includes Instagram, facebook, twitter, and youtube. We also have our website. Since this is a film class, being able to dabble in a different art form is fun. In the end, all of our team members are excited for our film. We think it's gonna turn our great. 

Getting ready to start up again!

And we're back! After speaking to Jonathon, we've decided that our top priority is start the process of filming and editing again. As I said in the previous blogs, we had a COVID scare among our team so we had to stop filming. It's most important that we put our safety before anything else. So this meant putting everything on hold until we found out the results of the tests. Thankfully no one who is a vital team member tested positive so we can continue to film. I'm happy to say that we planned accordingly so our schedule wasn't affected. But the deadline is coming up soon so we want to make sure that we have all our ducks in a line before we turn anything in. We want to make sure that this film is our best work. Both Jonathon and I want this film to reflect our best abilities and what we're capable of as a team. We need to consult with the members of our team to figure out when they're available to film the last couple of scenes. We think that we'd be able to film these scenes in no more than an hour and a half. Then we can use the rest of the time to edit. We also need to polish off the website and the postcard. It all honestly seems like a lot but we've budgeted out time really well. We're not stressing out...that bad. The postcard is exciting to do because it channels a different art form. Since this is a film class, being able to dabble in a different art form is fun. In the end, all of our team members are excited for our film. We think it's gonna turn our great. 

COVID Results!!!

 Today all of our team members received their COVID-19 results from the December 23rd scare. Fortunately, the majority of us tested negative for the coronavirus. Unfortunately one of our actors who were not with us earlier, but scheduled for a later scene tested positive for the virus. This news brings us sadness, but we will be sure to keep in touch with her and wish her a speedy recovery. In terms of how to move forward, it seems as if weeks have passed. When in reality it has been about 5 days. As everyone received their results, Jonathon and I started reaching out asking for availability. Unfortunately, a good amount of our team members will be away until the new year. So it seems as if we will have to push back our final film date to the beginning of 2021. This will most definitely push back our entire schedule of events. Luckily, Jonathon and I planned early to have an ambitious start time. This means we should still be able to finish well before needed. As we came to this realization Jonathon and I hopped on a call and made the determination it was safest to not see each other until after break since we were both having heavy interaction with our family members. This is to ensure the absolute safety of everyone on our team as we complete this project. As we move forward with planning we will make sure to add extra safety steps. Likewise, we look forward to finishing filming our one scene in Downtown, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As previously stated we will not be able to do this until the new year now. Until then we wish you a happy new year and a safe one too. Be sure to read our next blog as we hope will be done filming with no more scare surprises. 

Editing day 1

  It has been roughly two days since we got our COVID test and no one on our team has received their results. So, I hopped on a phone call with Jonathon and we talked how we can make the best use of our time in our session as we await our results. We agreed that no one on our team should meet in person until we receive the results. So after brainstorming we decided to start the editing process as best as we can via zoom to ensure a collaborative effort. We started by dumping all the footage. It surprisingly was around 20 gigabytes of footage. As you can imagine this took a while to transfer to the computer. After we got it all we imported it into iMovie and started reviewing the clips. This did become an issue over zoom just because it was a lot for the computer to handle. But, we kept trying to push through it in order to maximize our time. We were able to review quite a bit of the gulf stream footage. Over the zoom platform the slowness was becoming a barrier we realized we cannot get by. Jonathon still decided to try to edit some of the videos by and wait to finalize anything until the next time we see each other. I know we will still have more than enough time to edit, so at this point in time, I am not worried. As we move forward with planning we have to be very cautious. We will just plan everything in a best scenario situation and hope for the best. But, if we test positive we will plan around how we can still get everything done. Anyway, we hope the results will come back soon and negative. Until then we will wait and hope for the best.

Filming day 3- COVID SCARE

 As we all met up to record scenes the final scenes Jonathon received a phone call. He answered just in case it was an emergency, but he soon found out that a close friend of his just tested positive for COVID-19. Now although we were taking precautions as a group we also all ate lunch together. Additionally, additional members of our team were exposed to the same individual. At this point, we were wondering what steps should we take forward to move. Jonathon and I talked it over and decided the safest option was to postpone all filming to a further date. At this point, Jonathon and I felt extremely bad for putting everyone in this position a day before Christmas Eve. Many of us not sure what to do regarding family and testing. So Jonathon and I asked the whole team who wanted to get tested and drove everyone to a testing site in Miami. As we drove everyone to Miami the constant fear of possibly spreading to COVID was in our minds. The last thing we were thinking about last night was media studies or filming. As we started approaching the location we waited in a line and all the members of our team who wanted to get tested got tested. Unfortunately, the results are not rapid it actually takes upwards from 2 to 4 days. As we wait for the results we will be in a constant fear of not knowing what to do. Right now we are hoping no one on our team has COVID and we can move forward with the project. This will push back our anticipated finish date. Nonetheless, I am happy we made that decision as it was the best one to ensure safety for us, our family, and those around us. As we move forward we will be sure to keep in mind how easy the virus can spread. On this Christmas Eve, we are hoping for the best and wishing everyone negative results. 

Filming day 3

Since I was not able to join my team while they filmed on the second day, I was able to join them today! Today was definitely a roller coaster. We filmed in the afternoon a few scenes and planned to film the rest in the night when the sun went down. This blog will be covering the afternoon scenes. We arrived at the 'Abonded house' around 10am to start filming. As we arrived we realized we forgot to bring the photographs we had of Rece to complete the stalker effect. Even though we ran into this hiccup there was an easy solution. We googled the nearest Office Depot and saw it was roughly two miles away. We then made a google doc with the photos of Rece who is playing Leo and emailed it over to the Office Depot printing kiosk. We then all headed over to Office Depot and retrieved the printouts of Rece. Likewise, we went to the cutting station and cut them out as if they were 8 x 10 photos. Although this was an unfortunate error we were able to create a solution rather easily. We then re-setup the house with pictures of Rece and red yarn to appear a stockerish feel to the building. Once this was done we used a folding chair and towing cable to tie Rece - 'Leo' - into the chair for the kidnapping scenes. This all took roughly an hour. Around 11:40am we started to film! All in all the filming went really well. The scene's dialogue was much longer so it took a few takes to capture everything. But, I think the end product is going to come out really well. We are all now going to take a lunch break and meet up at 6pm to film the final scenes of the film. So excited to dump all of the footage and start editing!

Filming day 1

Filming is definitely such a great feeling. We just completed our first day of filming and it had a few twists, but overall went great. Our goal going into today was to film all the scenes at Gulfstream Park and Giache Creepes. We ended up meeting this goal it just did not go as anticipated. But we couldn't imagine it any better. Going into today's filming session Jonathon and I were nervous that the chemistry between our actors and actress would be noticed. We had them run over their lines with each other a few times before, but we were still very nervous. But to our surprise, when they were acting with each other the footage came out perfectly. We started filming today at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. As you remember the park was closed but an official of the park said we would be able to enter to film for our school project.  Unfortunately, after roughly 15 minutes of filming a security officer approached us. We explained why we were there and how we thought we could be here for our school project. After explaining he understood and said we can continue filming. Five minutes after the officer came back and said we could not be there and escorted us outside of the park. Now obviously this was not part of the plan. Jonathon and I game planned and realized we could move to the general area at Gulfstream Park. We moved there and were able to film all of the scenes we originally planned to film there. All in all, it was a blessing in disguise because the background ended up appearing better. After that, we all headed down to Miami to film at Giache Crepes. The filming went smoothly and as anticipated. So excited to have Day 1 of filming in the books and excited to continue filming throughout the week. 

Setting the time and date

 Jonathon and I met up today in in order to discuss the time and dates our team would meet up. The ideal situation would be that we can meet up whenever to film and edit. But sadly it doesn't work that way. Even though we're on break and our film is a big priority, we all have our separate schedules. This is a time for us to relax but this is time has been the busiest I've been. I can't speak on behalf of my team but while making our schedule I could tell that everyone was pretty busy during break. We needed to make sure we were fitting in everyone's schedule. Some of us work and some were going to celebrate the holidays with family. I also think a big factor to making our schedule would try to target our locations at the least amount of foot traffic possible. Due to COVID we want to make sure that everything is as safe as it can be. But in the end, we were able to make a schedule that suited everyone. 

We decided that within three days we would be able to film. Since many of our locations are going to be used for some of the same scenes, travel is not a big factor. Our plan is to change up the Mis en Scene in order for it to look different. We divided the scenes the three days. We made sure that we needed to film scenes that took place near each other. For example, we would film scenes in the southern region of our county one day and then film scenes in the northern region of our county another day. Sunday the 20th we would film scenes 1,2, and 3. We would film from 12pm-3pm in the southern region of our county. Tuesday the 22nd we would film the background scenes with the main character. Wednesday the 23rd is when we would film the majority of our film. Scenes 4,5,6,7 and 8 would be filmed from 11am-to whenever we finish. 

Location scouting

 Today we were able to finally scout out a location for one our scenes. Since we were able to plan everything out, we had some ideas of where we wanted to film our scenes. Of course these are all places that we've visited before so we had an idea of how it would turn out. However, for the scene where the main character gets kidnapped, we didn't have an absolute location where we wanted to film. We asked around to see if any of our friends knew of places that had the description we were looking for. Turns out one of our mutual friends knew of a place that was around 30 minutes away from our houses. We decided that today was a great day to go and see it. Since we need to film at this location, we need to make sure that filming is permitted. We did a little bit of research and found out that it's considered public property so filming was okay. We really wanted this location to work out because it matched the description almost perfectly. 

When we arrived to the location we were disappointed. It turns out that the location no longer exists. Granted, our friend hadn't recently been there so we all expected to see it. This whole time we've been depending on this location because we would be filming the most important scene. The scene would be the climax of the film where the twist of revealing the character's true intentions happens. We didn't think this would happen so we didn't plan to have a second location. We need to think of another location fast. Our deadline is coming up and we want to have as much time as possible to edit our short film. Hopefully in the upcoming days we will have a location to film at. If not, I don't know what we're gonna do. 

Back from break!!

Our Thanksgiving break has officially ended. Sad that it ended but I was able to think about my expectations for the film. I really want all of the aspects to come out as we envision them. The meaning of the scenes, camera angles, and movements. Everything in our film has a purpose. We hope that it can translate towards the audience. During the break we also roughly planned out what the next few weeks will look like. We have an upcoming winter break so we were able to figure out the filming and editing schedule that fits. Even though we don't know exactly when we'd be able to film and edit with our actors but we have a rough idea. 

Throughout the two weeks we plan on filming, editing, and taking care of all the other things. We want to get our filming done within the first week. Of course this all depends on our actors and our crew members but we're aiming for the first week. We don't need to get permission for the rights of any music. We decided that the sound would mostly be diegetic throughout our film. The second week would consist of editing our film. Editing is going to take the most time to finish. With my experience of making media, editing is a very meticulous step. Since our film needs to be five minutes, there is a lot of editing that needs to be done. In the end I know that we'll be able to get our film done the way we want it. 

Plans for the future

 Now that our social media is set up and ready to use, we need to plan other aspects of our film. In order to have our film be a success we need to plan accordingly. Even though we've planned certain things, I feel that there can't be too much planning. We want the film to come out good and for that each little detail needs to be perfect. When I say 'perfect' I mean to our expectations. I don't think that everything will be perfect but I do want our film to be exactly how we want it. Since we have our winter break coming up, Jonathon and I plan to take advantage to film and edit our film. The two weeks that we have off gives us the perfect amount of time to make our film. I think it's important to have ample time so there's no rush. We both agree that it's really important to have fun making our film. Even though it's for a class, it's important to have fun.

Setting up our social media!

 Today my partner and I decided to set up the social media in order to jump start the marketing for our short film. Although we knew that marketing was going to be a big part of our project, I decided to look into why marketing is important to a film. But it's simple. If you don't market your film, there is no way that viewers are going to know about it. For a film to be successful, marketing is an essential part. Jonathon and I wanted to think about which social medias would be most effective to reaching out to our target audience. We think our target audience is going to be older teenagers to people in their late twenties. Even though we want to hit our target audience we also want to reach out to all audiences that would be willing to see the film. We want everyone to have a chance and see our film when it's done. The social medias we want to use are YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We also opened a Wix website to help promote our film.

First we opened an email account in order to save all the work between me and my partner. Then we opened our Instagram account for our film. There wasn't any trouble with opening the account. The name we wanted for the account wasn't taken, so we were able name it how we wanted. Then we opened our twitter account. There were two platforms that gave us problems with opening accounts. Facebook gave us a hard time opening our account because it required a 'real' name. Since this is for the sole purpose of promoting our film and not an actual account for someone, we had to put the name of our main character. The second platform to give us trouble was Wix. It didn't let me open an account under the email we made. In the end, my partner was able to open an account. 

Storyboard for short film!

 

The time to storyboard is here. We found drawing up the storyboard fairly easy. Since this is our second year in AICE Media, we’ve had practice making storyboards. Last year we had to make a storyboard for a commercial, music video, and movie intro. All that was practice for the storyboard that we had to do this time around. Since each page of our storyboard represents about thirty seconds of our short film, we had to fill eleven pages. Our storyboard consists of the eight scenes in our short film. We wouldn’t consider ourselves art prodigies but we did our best. Since we still need to abide by CDC safety guidelines, we decided to complete our storyboard over FaceTime. Although this was not ideal with the help of google slides we were able to combine our work and upload them to the blogger just like we would if we were in class. As we continue working we will always keep this storyboard in mind. Throughout the next few weeks we plan on completing several tasks. First, we will be shopping and obtaining the necessary props to film. Then, we will be re-visiting each filming location to ensure no obstacles come set filming day. Shortly after we will be hosting a zoom call with all participants going over the script, storyboard, and schedule of events. Likewise, during this call we will be conducting a table read and making any necessary edits. Then it’s time to film! As we go through this process we will be sure to continue blogging. Although we truly believe this storyboard has all necessary elements we will not be surprised if we have to go back and edit our initial thoughts. Even though this is going to be a lengthy journey, we hope to have our final product by early January. In the end, we hope to have an awesome project that we can be proud of, while having fun!

Planning for short film

Short film vs. feature length film

To say that I was impressed with both films would be an understatement. Shane Acker out did himself with both films. With his short film, he was able to have an enticing story fit into seven minutes. With his feature film, Shane was able to expand the story he had into an hour and twenty minutes. I personally felt entertained throughout the whole movie. I think that's a difficult thing to do. Keeping the audience's interest is probably the most nerve racking thing. It decides the future of your film. If it's going to be successful or if it's going to fail. Shane Acker definitely achieved that. 

Both films kept the same plot. A story about a post apocalyptic world with no humans or anything that lived. The audience only knows what's shown which are human-like figures made of burlap. In the short story the audience was to assume what happened and how the burlap creatures are functioning. In the feature film, Shane had elaborated on the backstory to the burlap creatures and why they are there. Since the short film was only seven minutes long it had only one main obstacle, the monster. In the feature film, the main characters had a myriad of obstacles that prevented them from accomplishing their goals. In the short film, there were two characters that the audience grows an attachment to. In the feature film, there are nine characters that grow a relationship with the audience. There's even a love interest for the main character that wasn't shown in the short film. Overall, I think I preferred the feature film over the short film because it was able to include a lot more that felt left out in the short film. 

Research 9, feature film

Time to watch the long version of 9! I'm excited to watch the feature film version because I loved the short

film. I thought the short film was well made. The short film was a total of seven minutes and was able to

include everything needed to make flow. It seemed as if I were watching a full length film. I do wonder how

Shane will be able to make the short he did into a full length film. I would totally be lost and confused on

where to start. I think that having to write out a storyboard where you had to accomplish a whole story

within a short time frame is difficult. Let alone having to expand it into a full length film. After watching the

short, I thought Shane did really well. I'm excited to see what he can do.

The feature film 9 was a story about what seemed like a post apocalyptical world with no humans or

anything that lived. The audience only knows what's shown which is a human-like figure made of burlap.

Of course by human-like I mean the extremities like arms, legs, and a head. Since the audience knows

that it's a post apocalyptic setting, it's safe to assume that these creatures are to embark on some type

of mission in order to discover or save themselves. Like any sensible story, there was the expedition, the

climax, and the resolution. There are many characters throughout the movie to add personal relationships

between the audience and the character's they're watching. The film has multiple obstacles.

The expedition includes 7 characters. Throughout the expedition each character faces an obstacle and

either surpasses it or doesn't. There was a 'fake' climax when the characters assume the journey is over

and they succeeded. The real climax of the story is when the main character realizes the real reason why

they were created and releases the souls of his friends. The resolution is when the main character sees his

friends being released into the sky. The main character's development went from clueless and lost to over

coming and brave. One directorial style I did notice was at the end when it rained over the remaining

characters. Throughout the movie there was no reference to a drought or any shortage of water to where the

rain in the end would hold significance. However, I feel that the director decided to take this approach at the

end because in past films rain is a symbol for 'cleansing'. In this case, the rain is a symbol for a fresh start of

the characters and they are 'cleansed' of everything from the past.

Research 9, the short

Time to watch a short film! I'm really excited to watch a short film because it'll give me

the ability to see how a short film should look. I know that every short film is different and that

there isn't a structure to follow, but I think it'd be nice to see a successful short film. The short film

that I watched was called 9. This short film was directed by Shane Acker. Shane Acker was a student at

University of California, Los Angeles and had submitted one of his projects into a film festival. It's so cool to

watch a film that a student made. Even though I'm not in college and may have the same experience as him,

it shows me that I might have the potential to make something great. Shane Acker took an interesting

approach to make his film animated.

9 was a story about what seemed like a post apocalyptical world with no humans or anything that lived.

The audience only knows what's shown which is a human-like figure made of burlap. Of course by human-

like I mean the extremities like arms, legs, and a head. Since the audience knows that it's a post apocalyptic

setting, it's safe to assume that these creatures are to embark on some type of mission in order to discover or

save themselves. Like any sensible story, there was the expedition, the climax, and the resolution. The

expedition includes the two characters that the audience can tell are friends, go around and find something.

The expedition also includes an obstacle when the main character's friend dies. The climax of the story is

when the main character defeats the monster that killed his friend. The resolution is when the main character

sees the rest of his kind become free. The main character's development went from being afraid to defeating

his fear.

Genre choice for film

 After doing our research we’ve decided it’d be best to choose ‘thriller’ as our genre. The reason we chose thriller as our genre because it best suits the vision we have for the movie. Since our pitch is ‘ A normal day you bump into someone that can change your life, but the fate of your future is out of your hands’, we’ve determined that it would best fit into the thriller genre. The film deals with a stalker that meets her stalkee randomly, hence the ‘A normal day you bump into someone’ part of the pitch. However, the part that fits the thriller genre the most is the ‘but the fate of your future is out of your hands’. Our film will deal with suspense and tension, the main aspects to a thriller film. We think that the researched helped a lot in determining which genre our film fit best in. But the fact that we had the ability to watch different films, the different aspects were really shown to us. Our pitch fits perfect within the thriller genre. There was no need to edit or make any changes at all. While choosing the initial three genres we felt it would be more productive to choose three genres that we could see fit our film in the future. 

My group member and I definitely have our work cut out for us. We both have high expectations for our film. We want to make it the best it can be. And that means working endlessly towards our vision. Since we’re both humans we have our doubts. This is the first time we’re working together, we don’t know if its a perfect match. Even though we came up with our pitch together, we might have different visions for it. We’re trying to keep a positive mentality when it comes to how our film will turn out. But not being able to work with each other in person might affect our film in a negative way. Fingers crossed it turns out great!
