Production Blog: Last Day of Filming

 So yesterday, we got all the scenes done but 1. One of the extras that were supposed to come slept in until 3:00 and we couldn't wait on him. I had work at 4:00 and I had to get home. Yesterday, we filmed at 11:00 in the morning because one of the extras had to work at 12. He had an important role in the movie so we just adjusted our schedules. Then Lela and Mya came around 12:00. We re-filmed the store scenes because when I went home to review them, the characters looked dark. Since they were wearing different clothes today, we decided to just re-do those 2 scenes. We did reverse shot as Akiel and Mya were talking. I did tracking for the store scene. Then we had to improvise another scene since one of the extras wasn't answering his cell and we needed to get everything done by that day. So we acted like Mya was on the phone with him and Akiel was just walking pass. He heard her say his name then he looked back and acted like he wasn't paying attention. That took some time because we had to figure out what angles and shots we were going to do the scenes since we had just came up with it that day. We did it from 2 different angles so we can see the facial expressions of both. Today in the morning we had to do the most important scene. It was Robert killing Matthew. We had to improvise that one also because we couldn't go in the house since his mom was working from home. So we filmed the scene outside of his door, then added him scooting to the door struggling to go inside of his house. This was our last day for filming and we finished everything. I was so stressed out with the process so I am very happy.

Genre Research: Brotherly Love

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Brotherly love is a film about a high-school basketball player, his sister, and their older brother who face life-changing decisions as they struggle to make something of themselves. Like most dramas, it is a tale of broken bonds, heartbreak, and revenge. In our film “Life for life: A losing game” we plan on incorporating all of those and many more to produce the complete and versatile drama. The surrounding element that directly relates to our movie is the deception and anger caused by being done wrong by others. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? The element of betrayal and deception is what I like the most. Being deceived is something almost every individual has experienced and can relate to. Our goal is to make our film interesting, breathe taking, and more importantly relatable in some way. No matter if the relationship is small, any kind of relation grants a diff

 It's finally over!! Boy was this journey stressful. We didn't do everything we wanted to do, but it still came out okay. We know we put our all into it and that's all that matters. We had to do a LOTT of trimming. We honestly didn't even do all of the scenes because we didn't think that it would be so long. We cut 4 minutes into 2 minutes and we didn't use all the scenes. Here's our final task though, I hope you enjoy!!
