Production; Behind the Magic

Hey Gems. Today is a bit different, but I wanted to spice it up. Today it's all about those little moments that don't make the cut for the other blog. My editor (Me) has allowed this exclusive behind the scenes blog. Let's dive into the unknown, after you. 

So first the ride there was filled with traffic. And not just any traffic, Florida rush hour traffic. Any Florida traffic isn't pretty but rush hour is the worst. But all was fine once we made it to the Turnpike. The drive was fine beside it being like 40+ minutes. So turns out the fair was not called South Broward Fair it's South Florida Fair, oopies. So that would explain the drive. This ties into why filming and getting the right takes was so important because who driving back up there. Not me, mostly because I don't have my licenses yet, but that's not important.

Once we arrived at the fair the line to get in was long. No joke. I know I keep saying this But I didn't know this many people go to the fair on a weekday. I thought we going among a few people not a few hundred. I mean can my thoughts be trusted? This is after all A Glimpse in My Chaotic Mind. Plus the amount of kids. But that's not the point the point is all the walking. So to ditch the line we walked down to the entrance. Which I think was pretty smart because we didn't have to wait or pay for parking. But it did stop us from meeting up with Jennifer sooner. That and y'know (see blog 1 of this season). This however did not stop my feet from hurting. Let me tell you boots with heels and the fair not a good mix. There was the lady also in boots but she had higher heels, I felt her pain, if she had any. All the walking because we had to find a ride and the Ferris Wheel. The Ferris Wheel is where the establishing spot was filmed. And mini spoiler it was gorgeous. I mean literally breath-taking. 

Despite all the things that went wrong I had a lot of fun filming. The car ride was filled with laughter and so was the walk around the fair. Pro-tip if you want to get to know someone go to the fair. That's it Gems the BTS of our movie (not the band).  Keep shining. 

Sincerely, 

Makenna Jewels <3

Title Research; Gone girl

  Welcome back Gems. Today the research we've learned is being used to break down an opening sequence.  The movie being used is Gone Girl. 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 display that it is a David Fincher film Based on the novel by Gillian Flynn, Written by Gillian Flynn and Scott Huff. 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...

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 ...
