 Today is what my partner and I planned to be our final day of blogging. It had to be the same as the previous days. I got the same costume from my closet. I headed over to her house. Put all of our props in place. Made sure we had the same lighting. Now it is time for us to begin filming the last of our movie. My partner and I are extremely dedicated to finishing our film. We are willing to do anything to finish our film. The process has been long and tedious. We were ready for filming. We began our last scenes but we had to hurry. We were running out of time and it was getting late. We were in a slight rush to get it done before my mom decided it was time for us to go home. With only a few scenes left to film we were going to get it done. We managed our time wisely and we finished our film. There were a few mistakes that forced us to reshoot a scene. A little bit of it felt rushed, but we were glad it is all over. Now it is time to move on to our next task. We have to move on to ...

My partner and I decided we need to focus and get a huge portion our filming done. We watched over the scenes that we already filmed and were not impressed. We thought that we could easily do better. We decided that we should start over fresh. This time we entered more determined. Wanted to feel as if we were real actors. Once we started over, we tried to implement all our conventions. Our costumes were straight from our closets. We utilized different angles. We showed different camera movements. We even added the use of sounds. Our main prop which was a doll was designed to look like one of our actors. We wanted to make it seem as if the inanimate object came to life out of thin air. Scene by scene we got different shots in. There was one scene where the camera was moving following two characters. The person holding the camera alternated between the characters in the film. There were scenes that had to be shot twice due to the camera shaking in the hands of the cameraman. There were a...

 For our filming, we did not plan to take too much time to film. My partner and I are easily at one another's access. We planned to do all of the filming at my partner's house. All the scenes would be done in one day. We did not have the funds to buy a camera. We came together and decided that we would film our task on our phones. I have an iPhone 11 and she has an iPhone 13, both with quality cameras. Most of the scenes would be shot in the bedrooms and the living room. Before we began filming we cleaned anything that was a distraction to our film. We had to go through different websites and stores to find a doll that we like. Once we got all our props together and placed them in their spots. For our final task we decided that we wanted to film in order. We wanted every scene to feel authentic and have emotion. We wanted to use our conventions to the best of our ability to make this task feel real. Once we began filming we came to a not surprising realization. We are not good ...

Before we began filming, my partner and I had to decide what music we were gonna pick. Based off our genre and pitch, we wanted something suspenseful. We wanted to avoid the issues regarding asking an artist to use their music. Instead of asking for permission to use a song, we decided to use royalty free music. There are hundreds of royalty free music websites on the internet. Through surfing these websites we can find a song that'll be perfect for our final task. One website that we came across was "epidemicsound.com". This website offered plenty of songs that my partner and I liked. The songs created the feeling that you'd find in a horror film. That feeling where you do not know what happens next. That feeling where you are worried for a character. That feeling where you know a scare is coming. This was the exact feeling that we wanted our song to give the audience. My partner and I ended up agreeing on a song that we both liked. The song was eerie, and suspensefu...

    Monica is asking John if he'd like to go out with her to go to the store. John agrees to go out, but he must first look for his shoes and put them on. John then starts to complain about the alleged doll under his bed. The camera shows the bed and then a clip of what is under/around it. Monica walks into the room to see what John is talking about. The camera does a close-up of her face to show her annoyance with John as she tells him to hurry up so they can leave. NEW SCENE The camera zooms into a bedroom with a doll sitting on it. Monica walks into her room and is shocked by the doll. Monica walks over to Johns's room to question the doll's appearance. Before Monica walks in John is reading a book. As Monica starts to question John, he starts to get confused. They both sit on a bed and start to bicker and she orders him to her room.
