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.

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...
