Hi my readers!                After the credit scene we moved on to a quite important part of the opening. Once she walked out and was about to walk out of her house a very important phrase was said. Margo said "Bye mom" which a certain tone that did gave insight to the readers, she didn't say I love you or said bye in a happy tone.  Margo's mom responded "Bye Margo, have a successful day" her mom didn't say I love you, she didn't say have a nice day, no. Instead she said have a successful day which does show a lot about the relationship between Margo and her mom.              It gives insight on the idea that Margo's mom cares a whole lot about her future and being successful, maybe even more then her being happy. Right after that Margo banged the front door. Which showed how her moms reaction made her feel. Filming this section was not as difficult, since Margo was the only one in the scene and its just ...

Hi my dear people!         In continuation to Margo walking out and banging the door, the next very important part of this film comes along. Right now Margo is wearing her girly outfit and her hair is completely back up. She looks like a happy little girl but little do we know who she actually is yet. Margo walks out her door and stops walking for a second. Here we decided to use a close up scene of Margo putting her hair down and saying the very important phrase "Today is the day" This makes the opening more intriguing and it makes the viewer, what is next? What is to come? What is Margo about to do? today is the day for what?               We decided to include this phrase for the very purpose of keeping our audile interested and want to continue watching the rest of the film . When Margo says this phrase she also has a look on her face, the look that says I am up to something, the what some would call the "bad girl" look. This ...

Hello my beautiful people! I am currently in Punta Cana on a beautiful vacation, Sara is in Very, and Isabella is also traveling. Although most of us are not here the show must go on! Which is why Daniella at home has gone on a shopping trip to buy different things which we are going to utilize for the credit scene of our opening. Daniella went to two multiple locations, one CVS pharmacy which is a local pharmacy here in the city of Weston, Daniella also went to AC Moore which is an arts and crafts utility store also in the city of wasting. 1. Lipstick:We bought lipstick which the idea of writing part of the credits in a mirror with pink/red lipstick which I have seen in multiple teenage drama film openings. 2. White shirts: Daniella bought two white shirts in which we are going to write credits I it as well and turn the shirt around and write another credit. 3. Nail polish: The nail polish is going to be used to spill the nailpolish and write other credits on the spill.

Good morning readers!                 My group and I strongly believe that shots, angles, and composition are extremely important towards  a successful scene, and the showing of the different components of a scene. Because of this believe we have decided to incorporate a variety of shots that display all the parts of the scene that we want to include. We utilized extreme close ups, high angles, over the shoulder shots, low point of view shots, establishing shots, middle shots and we did this for the purpose of success and understating. In our filming of the study hall scene where Margo confesses to Liam that she is running away we incorporated angles and shots. In order to show that Margo was hiding her running away clothe in her backpack we incorporated an over the shoulder shot where it clearly showed to the viewers that she has bunch of clothe in her  backpack instead of books or notebooks which is what would normally be inside of a ...

Good evening my dear readers!         Today was filming day three, where we shot the classroom scene between Margo and Liam, this shot is vital to the opening since it is the sho that fully reveals exactly what is going to occur in the movie, it is the climax, and opening insight into what is to come. In this shot Margo stressfully walks into her study hall class and has an encounter with her boyfriend Liam, this is the vital moment where she tells Liam that she is leaving. We move on to find out that Liam is planning on coming with Margo, we decided to include this to show the strength of love between Liam and Margo.         Before filming we started shooting out ideas on where we wanted to film this shot, at first we wanted to shot this clip in Ms.Marchetti's classroom but we came to conclusion that we are going to film nowhere else. Why? well there were multiple other rooms discussing their openings in the room, we needed the sound to be able...

Hello Everyone     I want to further elaborate on certain things we did to upgrade our filming outcomes. 1.Sound:       We placed Isabella's phone on the upper part of the car seat so that it can clearly obtain the clicking of the seatbelt, the starting of the car and Tomas's line of "Where to Next?" This contrast from our first day of filming n which we had the phone placed just on my lap, when we went to evaluate our previous sound recordings which at fist we thought was clear we noticed that Liam's line was not as loud and clear was we were aiming for it to be. With our second recording we noticed that it now was exactly how we needed it and wanted it to be. Our sound for that shot is now very well done and can be more then clearly heard. 2.Stabilization:         As we went back to analyze our previous work on filming day, we noticed it was somewhat shaky. In order to fix this issue we utilized our surroundings towards our benefit. Wh...

Hi readers! Guys. you are not going to believe what happened!               Today as we got into class we encountered a major obstacle, as Tomas walked in (character who plays Liam) We noticed that he had gotten a haircut, this completely affected the continuity of our opening because we felt that we couldn't have scenes where his hair is long and all of a sudden it is short. Because of this we decided that we had to refilm the shots previously filmed. Not just that but Tomas had forgotten to bring the same outfit that he had been wearing in the previous filming day.               We went back to film the parking lot shot but we were aiming to achieve more filming and not just that shot. As we were walking to the parking lot we encountered two major obstacles, one it began to rain which meant we had to run to the parking lot because we definitely did not want Daniella's camera to get wet. We finally got to the park...
