Production; 5 seconds of fame

Hello Gems. Welcome back to a glimpse or another production blog.

Last blog we talk about filming; today is a little difference. I made my acting debut, yes yes I know last blog I was all 'I'll just be filming no screen time for me'. Oh how the tables have turned our original actor couldn't make filming so we had to go me plan B, which was me. So let's get into how I balanced on-screen with off-screen.

Once again we meet at Maddie's house for filming, however this was not our filming location, think of it as our trailers. So we walk down to Fort Lauderdale Beach which is when we discover there is construction being done. This though very surprising, does not interfere with our filming process. Scene 2 is where I'm on camera and since I can't be two places at once Maddie recorded Karina and I. I know what you're thinking 'problem solved'; well it's not. All three of us are going to be in this next shot and I know I make myself seem like a professional but in reality I'm far from it. This however is a momentary problem when decide using may bag and a chair can work as a makeshift phone stand. Crisis adverted. And that marks the end of my 5 second of fame (literally).

Back to me behind the scenes. I'm once again filming as the story is progressing. A tracking shot and over the shoulder angle were used to once again grow the tension between the two. So as we are walking and I'm filming it's less awkward than I though. However that would not be on my mind for much longer.

Well Gems as much as I would love to continue the blog is getting pretty lengthy. I know cliffhangers can be the worst so here's a little something to get you to the next blog: ice cream, sand and a pigeon.

Until then enjoy this picture of the beach.

Sincerely,

Makenna Jewels <3

Production: Filming; The Man in the Mirror (maze)

Hey Gems. Welcome back as promised here is the blog were I felt everything went wrong. But we'll get into that. This blog is not A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind, because I wouldn't have done that, rather a look into someone else's mind. Let's just get into this. First how do you work at a fair and have the most unapproachable attitude I have ever seen in my whole 16 years of living. Like if you don't like people don't work at fair. Like hello. So as y’all know the mirror maze was a major part of our film. Yes I’m using past tense because that dream came crashing down real quick. So. we mostly filmed in order of the scenes. We beforehand asked each ride or game attendee can we film. When we asked Mr. Attitude’s response was “no, how many?” Then when we were trying to explain the situation to him he just scanned the game-card and told us to go in. However we were what for it to clear so we could get a good take. He doesn’t care at all. Now that we had captured the ...

Intro blog; All about me

Welcome Gems to the story of my life. My name is Makenna Jewels Ricks born on December 20th 2007 making me a Sagittarius. I grew up with my two younger sisters and two older brothers. And my favorite color is pink. Now that the introduction is out of the way let's get into it. From a very young age I have always loved to read, a trait I still posses. The feel of paper in my hands is an unbeatable feeling. It has always been amazing how some can create such a complex world with only ink, paper and their imagination. Emotional transportation to anywhere or any time I like. The Book Thief, Six of Crows and Legendborn really created this transportation for me. Baking is a passion of mine. It's like sharing in the art of creation, with sugar, spice and all that. My favorite personal recipe has to be my mini apple pies, that's all I can say about them (trademark pending). But y'know what beats baking desserts? Eating desserts, chocolate chip cookies, cake with but...

Production; Wrapped in black

Hey Gems. I hope you enjoyed my rant about about motorcycles last blog. Today's blog is going to be less aggressive. Yes, I know the title is deceiving. But what do you expect when this is a glimpse into my chaotic mind. However today is all about my costume. Let's get into this. My character Amanda (spoiler) is the stalker so we decided all black would be the best option. A hoodie was also included in the outfit as to make to reveal more dramatic. Shall we break this outfit down like they do on the red carpet. A black hoodie that was slightly oversized to have a hood that would cover my face. The face covering that was actually a black scarf which was used instead of a face mask. And I think the worst decision made on my part, black boots with an wedge. Don't get me wrong I love my boots but as a stalker running around a fair, a pair of Converses would have been a relief. The hoodie and boots were paired with dark blue jeans. Side note the nails ...
