It all started with a spark of creativity and the shared passion for storytelling among Jaida, Mercedes, and me.

  Hey blog, welcome back to another episode! In today’s episode, we will talk about the process of asking for permission to use a song. Firstly, it’s essential to identify who holds the rights to the song, whether it’s the artist, record label, or music publisher. Once you’ve identified the rights holder, you’ll need to reach out to them with a formal request.

It’s crucial to be clear and specific about your intentions to avoid any misunderstandings or legal issues down the line.

  Hey blog i’m back with another episode explaining the tweaks i made during the setup for the movie Begin by selecting a setting that contrasts the idyllic with the ominous, such as a picturesque small town with a dark history lurking beneath its charming facade. Rather than immediately establishing the friendship, introduce the protagonists separately in the opening scenes, hinting at their connection through subtle foreshadowing and shared experiences.  Utilize more overt visual cues, such as the stalker's presence lurking in plain sight, obscured by shadows or cleverly disguised among the crowd, to heighten tension from the outset. Experiment with unconventional camera angles and perspectives to immerse the audience in the stalker's twisted worldview, creating a sense of intimacy and discomfort. Integrate ambient sounds that subtly unsettle the audience, such as distant whispers or the sound of footsteps echoing eerily down empty streets, adding layers to the atmosphere of...

Hey blog, I am back with another episode of the final task. In this blog I will talk about how I’m going to set up our movie. In the process of filming were going to capture the essence of a stalker stalking two best friends in the beginning of a movie, meticulous planning and attention to detail are essential. Begin by selecting an idyllic setting where the friendship between the two protagonists can naturally unfold, such as a bustling city street or a tranquil suburban neighborhood.

 Hi Blog! So we’re in the process of planning for our movie’s opening sequence. We have a few ideas so far! So for our movie’s location, we may film at Jaida’s house or somewhere in public, or both. Since it’s a thriller, we think it’d be good to use multiple locations. If anything our back up plan will be only Jaida’s house.  For safety, we’ll have a first aid kit and act responsibly. There will also be adults present in the house while we’re filming just in case. The participants will be Adarius, Jaida, and Mercedes (aka all of the members in our group). The schedule for now is to record for only one day unless we need to  revise and retake any clips.  We’re most likely going to work on a Friday or weekend. We’re all still trying to figure out what’s best for each other’s schedules as we all have work and lives outside of school. We’re all very excited to start this process. We just need to iron out a few details about planning, because of course things can change ...

  INT. JONATHAN HOUSE - NIGHT A stormy night. Lightning flashes, revealing an old Victorian house perched on a hill. The wind howls through the trees. INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT Jaida (late 20s, adventurous) and Mercedes (early 30s, pragmatic) huddle together, laughing and sipping wine. The atmosphere is warm, yet the flickering candlelight casts eerie shadows. JAIDA This place is amazing, Merce. You sure your cousin won't mind us crashing here? MERCEDES (chuckles) Nah, she's in Europe. The house is ours for the weekend. Suddenly, the power goes out. The room plunges into darkness. JAIDA Great, just what we need. They light candles, their faces tense with uncertainty. A KNOCK on the door startles them. MERCEDES Who could that be in the middle of nowhere? Jaida cautiously approaches the door, opens it slightly. Adarius (40s, ominous) stands there, rain-soaked and uninvited. ADAIRUS (sly smile) Hello, ladies. Mind if I come in? JAIDA (uneasy) Who are you? ADAIRUS Call me Adarius. I...
