Sorting out actors/actresses for the final task

As of right now, my actors for the final task are not set in stone. There are many things that have to be done before they can come to my house to film. Also I will have to be working around my family's/friends' schedules. As of now, during this pandemic, everyone has been very busy and may not have the time to indulge in my studies. My friends that I’ve initially picked to be in my movie may not be my final casting. They have a lot of work to do and so do I. We are all honors students and some times we just do not have free time to interact with each other. We all have homework to do for other classes. As well as having to spending time with our families, which is our main priority. Also due to the restrictions of the pandemic, we have to be ten times more careful. We must quarantine to make sure all of us are negative for Covid-19. We are very family oriented too. So we won’t ever hang out if there’s a chance for them to be effected by our actions. We have older members of our families that become high risks for COVID. Even the little kids and our parents can get it. So we must be on our p’s and q’s. So of course, that can throw off our initial plans. However, we will try to find a way to match up our schedules in a way that benefits us all. As a precautionary measure, I will also work out a back up plan in case there’s no way I can make it work with my initial casting. Anything can happen!

See you in the next one!

Editing Blog: My struggles with music & duration

Image
Editing is not my absolute favorite part of filmmaking as of now. I only say this because I'm not very good at it yet and that bothers me. When I watch movies made by famous filmmakers I'm always quick to appreciate its editing. But, after editing a project myself, I understand how hard editing can be. However, editing my Kiss eyelashes commercial was admittedly, not as hard as I first thought it would be. When I get to do more projects like this, I think I'll learn to love it. The only difficultly I encountered was finding the perfect music that would match the theme of my commercial as well as getting the duration of the film right. I had trouble finding the right music because I just felt like any song I'd pick would be insufficient. I looked up songs of all decades. From Aretha Franklin's "Baby Baby Baby" to Beyonce's "Independent Woman." While there were many songs that I were eager to use, none of them felt right to put into a commercia...

Finding props for the final task

Image
 My next task is to find props for the final task. The main thing I had to get was a few photo copies from my local Walgreens. Minor things I had to get were cereal boxes, picture frames, etc. As for the photo copies, there was a bit of difficulty finding a place to print them. Before I learned that I could print them at a convenience store, I had no idea where to go. First, I tried printing them at my house. But, on regular printer paper. This was a total fail. My printer barely had any colored ink and the picture came out black and white. It also came out with very low quality and very pixelated. So, I had to do a bit of searching on the internet. I needed to find out where I could get the best quality pictures for a low price. I went on a few websites, but all of the pricing was too high. Then i went looking in my local area. That’s when I found out that a store not too far away from my house. They had exactly what I needed for the final task. I found everything I was looking fo...

Intro Blog

 Hello to anyone out there reading this. My name is Taelor Barnes and I am a 16 year old. I have an older sister and a dog that has grew up with me since my parents first got her when I was 6. Academically, I am in the eleventh grade at Fort Lauderdale high school. Since ninth grade I have been waiting to take this class; it is one of the most intriguing courses I've heard about and discussed with my guidance counselor. Many of my friends have taken it in prior to the 2020/2021 school year and they have only had good things to say about it. In my previous high school years, I haven't had the chance to take this class due to my hectic schedule.  I am taking this class because I have always been interested in film and media. Ever since I could understand and interpret movies, I have been obsessed with knowing everything about them. Even with professional photography alteration, I think I may just be a tiny bit more analytical than the average person. I hyper fixate on many diffe...
