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

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; 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 ...

Let's get into this.  The website I have decided to use is: http://www.artofthetitle.com/ What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

They also mention the actors like Rosamund Pike, Ben Affleck, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, Carrie Coon, Kim Dickens, Patrick Fugit, and Lisa Banes. Also, they mention the title “Gone What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The opening sequence of Gone Girl is quite stylized and features a series of images of the lead characters Amy Eliott and Nick Punne as well as the various places where the movie is set, including their sprawling New York home, the streets of Missouri, and the natural surroundings. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre fro...
