Production; The pigeon, the sand and the ice cream shop

Hey Gems. See the wait wasn't too long. Double the blogs double the fun.  But I think y'all have waited long enough let's get into this. 

So we left off on the awkwardness of filming in public. But luckily for me there wasn't that many people there, perks of filming in the early afternoon I guess. However when we were about the film a scene in the ice cream shop we realized we had no towels for the beach.  Guess what we did. I hope you said go back to the house and get some because you would be correct.  So we walk from the beach to her house and from her house back to the beach. Yep you did read that correctly. I'm double blogging about our double walking.  However if was a blessing in disguise. We played Maddie's mom the video in process, we she said it was slightly unclear. So we took that added little actions to the video, to help convey the tension and feelings going on between the two of them.

So a few hundred steps later with props in head we are ready to continue filming. In this scene the pair is going to get ice cream. So first we ask permission from the worker, who by the way was so nice. So as I preparing to film the first take a guest star makes a special appearance. I think the title gave it away; a pigeon who wanted his time in the spot light. So the first take was scraped because the of the angles. So as I was practicing to correct the error, I'm holding the door slightly open when the pigeon walks into Kilwins. I guess everyone really does like ice cream. Though his stardom was short-lived but his impact was life long. So we order our ice cream and continue to film. The last scene filmed was on the beach. On that very windy day sand was flying waves were crashing. And the pair in shown enjoying their ice cream and their last moment as friends. 

Well Gems that's all I have for you today. But I'll see you in the next one. Keep shining. 

Sincerely, 

Makenna Jewels <3 

P.S. That ice cream was so good. Honestly shoutout to that employee.

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: 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 ...

Production; And We Have a Winner

Hey Gems. It's that time again. Season finale of A Glimpse in my  Chaotic  Mind. And today is all about the finishing touch and the final product. I know it's bitter sweet but let's put those feelings aside.  So as you know the film was reviewed by a peer (for more on that check that blog). This installment is about all the changes and mishaps that occurred. L et's get into this. So first let's address the elephant in the room. Well y'all wouldn't know this but the movie was over its run time. Which the reviewer and the group pointed out. Now there is deleted scenes which is always my favorite, maybe I can share that with all but first permission from Patrisha. Deciding which scene would be cut wasn't that hard. The problem was would the story make sense if this part is taken away. And if I'm being honest this all spiraled from the mirror maze incident. But even with the scene being deleted the story still followed a linear path.  So y'all rememb...
