Production Blog: Finding Pictures


To start this project I needed to think about everything I had written down in my last blog post. I had to decide to first work on music, pictures, video, or figuring out how to edit. I wanted to start this project in the simplest way so I decided to find pictures to compile together. These pictures need to show a bit about me and who I am so I need to be very decisive in my choices. The first thing I decided to do was scroll through my camera roll. This was the obvious choice as that is where I have the most pictures of myself. For this project I am going to start from when I was younger and have the media be on a chronological timeline. Given this fact I scrolled all the way to the bottom of my camera roll. I haven't had an iphone for long so this only took me back to 2019. After seeing that my oldest pictures I chose to look somewhere else for pictures. After failing to find old pictures I went to my parents to try and find pictures of me when I was little or doing some sort of activities. After a bit of time she sent me several pictures of me doing gymnastics. I had to pick one or two which represented that time of my life the best. I decided on a picture of me getting a gold medal for vault, and a picture of me holding a banner for my team. I still want to try and find videos to use but I'm saving that for later on. Now that I've hit the key point of gymnastics I was looking for pictures of me playing hockey. This was a lot easier of a task as I post pictures and videos of me playing hockey often. So, I went to my Instagram page and picked out 3 or 4 pictures to decide between. In the end I ultimately decided on the team picture I did in my first blog, and for the second photo I chose a picture of me lining up for a face off. I chose the first picture because it shows me with my team and the community aspect of the sport. The reason I chose the second picture was because it was focused on me individually. Finally, for the last picture I wanted to choose a random picture to represent me that isn't specifically of me. I decided to use a picture of my favorite album, "Is This It" by The Strokes. I decided on this as I like the continuity of using the same pictures I had in my first and second blog to tie all of the blog posts together and music is a very big aspect of my life.

CCR: Podcast

Podcast Script:  Hello, welcome back to my podcast. Today I am discussing the film Cold Case. Cold Case is a new thriller movie about a group of teenagers exploring an abandoned ice rink and not making it out alive. Our first question today is; how does Cold Case engage with audiences.   The foundation of "Cold Case's" engagement lies in its ability to forge a deep, emotional connection with its audience. This connection is c reated through the film's focus on five friends exploring an abandoned ice rink, a premise that is both relatable and builds a potential for tension and horror. By choosing characters that viewers can see reflections of themselves in, the film allows you to put yourself into the situation of the characters . The horror and suspense are n’t just limit ed to the screen; they resonate on a personal level, tapping into the universal fear of the unknown.   Moreover, the found footage style of "Cold Case" serves as a powerful tool for imme...

Production Blog: Beginning to Film

 To begin the full group filming process everyone met up at Dania Pointe as planned. I coordinated schedules and times to accommodate everyone. Over the weekend on Saturday we all showed up at 11:00am. For today I decided to work on the second scene. The second scene consists of a split screen of the varying perspective of one side eating alone and one side eating with friends. So to set up I first had to find 2 separate areas of Dania Pointe to film. I walked around for about an hour scouting out filming locations. The first place I saw was a long strip of fake grass with a lot of tables around. I thought it would be a good place because it had a nice environment and background. The next area I found was shadowed and isolated. I thought that it would be a good idea to have our solo actor film there. I then walked around and found a couple of other spots but ultimately decided on the first two I found. After this I brought in the actors for the group scene. They all went and got ic...
