Production; The setup

Welcome back Gems.

I'm assuming we all read my last blog. So pop quiz, where am I on the storyboard? Trick question I'm not. I'm filming. I know you all are waiting for this so let's jump in.

We started filming recently at Madeleine's house. But less about we and more about me. While sitting around the table I guess things just became clear. Madeleine and Karina would be the killer and the killed. So me filming was the most logical choice. All of this takes use to Scene 1 Take 1. But this isn't about filming rather the setup. ...stay tuned.

Take 1 was filmed out door by the pool. I was filming at a slant. However when filming my reflection was caught in the bedroom window. Which for a person who should not be there, is a problem. So after doing a few more takes and my suggestion to move inside there is a location change. Now in the living room I can film without being seen. As any great cameraman I made it work. So after saying action and cut more times than I can remember a take that would now be called Scene 1 was produced.

However if you want to know more about the filming process, which I know you do, stay tuned to the next blog; where the angle and more details will be talk about. Anyways Gems that's all I have for you today. Keep shining.

Sincerely,

Spielberg I mean Makenna Jewels <3

P.S. This is literally me.

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 ...
