Hello everyone! It is finally here, the opening to my film UNLACED,  a lot of hard work went into the making of this film, so I hope you enjoy!  You can watch it here

We finally got our last few shots today and I have to say, I really like the way our shots came out. We went to Andres' house to film our scenes. We went around 7:00 pm to fits because we wanted to get our shots at dusk and at night. And we got some amazing shots. We played with some cool angles, we used a lot of high angle shots, close ups, and low angle shots to mix up the composition a bit. We also got creative with how we got our shots. I had to get into a tree and get a very high angle shot, I was so scared, I climbed the tree with slides on, I though I was going to fall. Luckily I did not fall. Also we used a chair with wheels as a dolly, and I was pulled in the chair to create a smooth shot so we can get a steady pan. We tried to get the shot without the dolly but it was awful, so the chair worked perfectly. None of us own a tripod, so we had to get creative on how to stabilize our camera. We leaned it up against a tree, my knee, and leaned it up against a car seat. The sh

Good afternoon! Today we filmed our intro for our film Unlaced, it went very well and we got some awesome shots to work with. We still have like three shots to get but we are going to film that on Thursday. Today we went to Markham Park, a local park with great places to film. We went to the famous "Hobo Hole", basically it is a tunnel that goes under the highway. We did not go in the hole because it was closed up. But we did climb up the ramp under the freeway and got some awesome shots. The one thing I did not like about today is that I had to lay on the ground and act dead, the ground was full of ants that loved to nibble on my skin. The weather today was perfect for our shoot, it was gloomy out, which is the tone of our movie. But it was hazy and it looks like it was going to rain, which it did after we left. One thing I am going to have to do later this week is find a song for the first few seconds of the film. Im looking for something like the Walking Dead theme. S

Hey guys, so we decided to go with my idea of the two gay boys. We have our entire opening planned out and we are going to film of Sunday. In this post I am going to go through the character description of our main character Brennan (which means sorrow) here is proof . Brennan is a gay teen who is not open about his sexuality, was secretly in a relationship with Leo, who has tragically been killed by Brennan on accident. But that is not the point right now, Brennan is ashamed of the fact that he is gay, he is scared of what his friends are going to say and does not know what his parents will say. He is not alone, a survey taken in 2013 states that 4 in 10 kids who openly come out with their sexuality are not accepted by her family or friends, here is the study . Brennan feels like he would be shunned by his family and friends so he does not tell anyone. Being a closed gay teen is tough not only at home but also in school, there are cases of bullying all over the world, but it is prom

The last class period was a tough one for me. We still do not have a solid idea. And every time I bring up an idea it gets shot down immediately. Three of our group members want one idea and one person wants another, when it comes down to it majority rules and we will go with my idea. But I will go over both ideas and give good reasons why my idea is better and relates to todays society. So as you know we are no longer doing horror, we are going with Austin's idea of a drama/mystery film. His idea was that the film centers around one boy who recently lost his best friend, we find out that he had something to do with his death and made it staged as a murder. Our opening for this film was a shot of the scene of his death, without his body there. For example we want the site to be Markham Park, so the first shot would be a quick one of a field with a shoe in the middle of the field, and then it cuts to our main character Cam in the car while he listens to music with friends and his

Since we changed our idea to a dramatic mystery movie we now have a new target audience, this post will go into detail on who would like to watch this movie and why. So grab your bow and arrow, its time to shoot some targets! (Sorry, that was really corny) The target audience for our film would be anywhere from the ages of 16-35 of both genders. These groups of individuals like to watch dramatic mysteries because it is an escape to their everyday life. They like the sense of mystery for the hour and a half, it is a time for them to be able to fantasize and use their imagination. Check this article out. Our movie also targets gay individuals, men and women. This movie breaks the boundaries of a gay relationship, two men who are secretive about their love for each other is relatable to some but also intriguing enough to engage audiences to fill a theater and watch this. So we are going to surprise audiences' with our twist that our main characters are gay and that one killed t
