Casting Call

 Hey Gems.

Welcome to back 'the inner workings on my mind'. This time it's how I picked my partners for this project. And y'all already know how this goes. So let's get it into this Gems.

For this project I'm working with Karina Sanchez, Jennifer Hernandez and Madeleine Merrick. Yes I know the group has expanded. Let's talk about it.  Madeleine, Karina and I worked together for the music video and in my opinion it went amazingly.  Since the success of the last project why not keep it going with a few changes. Jennifer is a friend of both Karina and I so connecting the dots. She has a good work ethic and great attitude. Last project we bounced so many good ideas off of one another it made the brainstorming process so much easier. It was like an other conversation between friends. This however did not stop the work from being done as it played into the dynamic that went on behind the scenes. I'm so excited to welcome Jennifer to the group. Jennifer who is a friend of both Karina and I so connecting the dots. She has a good work ethic and great attitude. So the group is only benefiting from here. 



Good things are coming Gems I can just tell. But for all of that is coming when production starts. So in other words I'll see y'all in the next one.

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 ...

Music Video CCR

Hi Gems. It's that lovely time again. Reflection blog. Seeing what I've done or didn't do to learn from it. So let's get right into this. The most common convention seemed to be the actor (in most cases the singer) lip-syncing to the lyrics during all or most of the music video. However for us lip-syncing did not align with the section of the song we chose to use. We also told a story which is a consistent convention within the genre, majority of these have ambiguous endings, similar to our video. This was because the major event had happened. What was filmed was one piece of the puzzle. What followed was left to the viewer as the question 'are we still friends' was proposed. If was the resolution of the video even though it did tie up all the loose ends. This allows the views to form their own conclusions about the relationship of the friends after the music video has ended.  I would not say the video deals with a major social issue but friends murdering each o...

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 ...
