Hey everyone, it is great to be back and reunited with my group members and create this outstanding full movie task. As I mentioned in my previous blog, I will be reintroducing my group members for this project and explain why I made that selection.  So to begin with, the group members that I worked with last year are Joao N., Enzo P., and Constanza C. This year is going to be a little different with Enzo P. not being including in our task this year unfortunately. As Enzo decided to take a different path in his high school classes and not take A level. However, I am still extremely excited to work with them not only because they are my friends but also I know that they are very productive when It comes to school and from our performance last year. They end up getting their priorites done and are super responsible which is why I am trusting them and continuing to work with them for this exciting new journey.  The roles of each individual have not been selected yet as we didn't ...

Hello everyone, I'm back once again and Im extremely excited to begin my journey in A level. For those that don't know me, my name is Nicholas Zilbersztajen and I'm a junior in Fort Lauderdale High school. I consider myself to be very optimistic, social, and energetic, besides many other qualities. Being active is something I particularly acknowledge when it comes to soccer as it is my favorite sport. I am a highly curious person, which is a quality that everyone has said about me. I constantly enjoy learning new things and expanding my knowledge. Moving on, this year I will begin a different task than last year. Last year as you may remember me and my group members had to complete a beginning to a movie, however this year will not only just be a beginning but a beginning, middle, and end. Im extremely eager to work on this project as it should be really fun. I've decided to work with a group for this project aswell. Nevertheless, I'm committed to making an excellen...

Production Blog: Finishing Touches

Image
 Hey bloggers and welcome back. This is the last blog before submission and Im extremely proud of our progress throughout this whole filming and editing process. It was extremely stressful and time consuming but it was worth it. The last thing we had to do was upload our opening sequence to Vimeo and embed it to the next blog. I thought it would've been a peice of cake but it took longer than I expected. I couldn't login to my account since I forgot my password and it was a whole proccess to be able to recover it. When I got it back I was able to embed it and put it into my blog. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect before submission so I sent it to my group. They then told the frame and quality was messed up. So I went back on Vimeo and tried fixing the issue. I maximized the frame size and increased the quality so it wouldn't look blury in the submission. After that was done I made sure the audio was good and all the dialogue was in perfect volume. The music was i...

Production Blog: Minor Tweaks

Image
Hey bloggers! Welcome back. I know its been a while and there is a few updates that I will be announcing to you guys. Throughout this time my group and I had to come up with names for our production company name and the studio. The names we select has to be proffesional and has to correspond to our opening sequence. The production company name was a super easy selection as we came up with Wildlife Productions. Since our filming is mostly in the outdoors and in the woods, Wildlife makes the most sense. Now for our studio name which took suprisingly a while to choose. After a couple of hours brainstorming we ended choosing JENC Studios. The reason behind that choice is that its the first inital of all of our first names and it sounds pretty catchy. We had to add these names into our opening sequence but we didn't want to draw the attention of the audience to the titles. So what we did was we tried to keep it nice and simple not anything too fancy. We did reshot some of the scenes sin...

Production Blog: A few things I Haven't Mentioned

 Hey Bloggers! Welcome back to another blog. As you may know in my previous blogs I have been making sure this opening sequence is perfect. I've been doing edits and small tweaks that has been bothering me. This blog however is going to be slightly different. This blog will be about certain things I haven't mentioned like how we got the props and the proccess. I will also be talking about the behind the scenes. So first off, we had to pick up certain props before we began filming. The first one we went for was the gorilla suit. We went to Party City to pick it up and we made sure whoever was wearing it won't sufficate. After that we bought this gallon of fake blood since we tried making our own but it didn't end up working out. The gallon of fake blood was super useful since it was easy to put it on the shirt and make the trail of blood. It made the whole scenery super realistic which was perfect. After we got the props we need we started rehearsing. We all had to make ...
