Starting my final task

     Hey guys, my name is Angel Noriega-Rodriguez and for the next few blogs I'll be telling you my process through the final task. I'm currently enrolled as a tenth grader at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I have a passion for learning the media industry as well as film and TV. My goal is to one day study at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, and with the Cambridge Diploma I hope to do just that. Taking this class has taught me a lot of the process of filmmaking and I hope to show what I've learned in this video.

    For this task I decided to work alone. I believe that working with other people would be harder. With different thoughts on how we want the video to look it wouldn't come out the best. Another reason is as I'm writing this over the weekend I was recently exposed to the Corona virus so for safety measures I won't be working with many people outside of my home. While I don't plan to work with anyone in my class, I am planning on having multiple characters in the video. I'll work with my immediate family and maybe a couple of friends to complete this video. I'll be working with people I have experience filming with so I can get the best I know to help make the video. Like I said before I will be taking safety measures so these people will all be trusted friends that I can count on to be safe.  By working alone I'm able to have more freedom with my video and execute it the way I want it without having to add other parts a partner might want. I personally want to practice my leadership skills when making this video like I have for previous films for future use. I'll see you in the next blog where I talk about my process for my pitch to this video.

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Planning for the next shoot

 Hey guys, so not much has changed since the last blog. My friend still has COVID and I don't see a time that we'll be able to film the final scenes yet. Fortunately he has gotten better but as far as safety is concerned I don't see a possibility for filming. My new plan for now is to begin editing. Since I filmed the scenes in chronological order I can begin preparing the first cut of the film. This will allow me to see if there are any scenes which may need to be reshot or if I'm missing any scenes that need to be filmed. At first my editing plan was to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I have for my previous projects, but the computer I was using can't handle the program and started malfunctioning. Right now the deadline is nearing and I've been stopped in my tracks due to my friend getting infected. I plan on doing one of two things in order to go around these problems of mine. First plan is to get through filming even with my actor being infected. To do that I will...
