Production; Just a bump in the road

 Hey Gems welcome back. Today's blog is a little different. Today we'll be going over some bumps in the road that we're in my previous blogs; so if you need a refresher refer back to those. Enough chit-chat let's get into this.

When we first picked our group I think the hardest thing to decide was the song but once that was picked and the section being used fell into place. Filming our first scene,  minus the window situation, was a breeze. So the original plan was Madeleine, Karina and our friend Olivia would be acting with me recording. I can't remember who's idea it was but it was genius. Filming a version with and without Olivia just in case something happened, which ended up being the case.

With Day one filming done we had to come up with our next filming day which was a lot harder than day one. Everyone had a different schedule. So now we had to work around clubs and sports which didn't interfere before. When we could just film the scene. Despite this our next filming day was a hoot and a half, if you recall all that went down. Day 3 was a bit more tricky than to schedule with unexpected family and practice and million other things (not really but you get it.) However I'm going to save all that for next blog, since we haven't covered it yet. No spoilers from me.



This blog was short and sweet. Well Gems I'll see y'all in the next one. Shine bright.

Sincerely,

Makenna Jewels <3

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 ...

Research and Planning

 Welcome back Gems. Planning things about myself has never been easy, being honest about yourself them to other people. Welcome to how I start (or attempt to) this process.  I had no idea were to start.  Scrolling through hundreds of photos on both Google Photos and Snapchat as preparation.  So let's jump into it.  For pictures start from the beginning well the youngest with my siblings and I in purple. Then to the most recent picture of me in purple. And the last picture me on the first day of school.  Chronological order, a mini timeline of my life.  Videos are a lot harder than picture roughly 98% of my videos are of other people  so finding some to use was a challenge. Keep in mind these videos are featuring my sisters.  The videos are from my cruise to the Bahamas last September  as they are probably the only videos I am will to share with the general population. But hey, that's the point of planning.  Choosing songs was though...
