Our Weekend Filming Delay

Hey blog! The first week of the month has passed and no filming has been completed. My group had plans to film this weekend but those fell through due to our members overlaying schedules. One of our members, Sarah, had to go on a trip out of town this weekend. This was a major factor to us not shooting this weekend due to the fact that Sarah is the main actress. My group mate Elon and I were extremely disappointed that we could not get the filming done this weekend but, what could we really do? Despite our set back, our group remained focused on our goal to film. Over the weekend, Elton and I spent several hours planning out and rehearsing so that we will be all good to film when Sarah gets back. This hiccup in our process has tested the groups patience and commitment to filming and has been a great learning experience. Instead of complaining about Sarah being gone, we stayed focused and did fall apart. We just have to be patient now. Next weekend, we will regroup and put our minds together to bring our film to reality. On the bright side, this extra time also gives me time to go out and scout filming locations. I just obtained my drivers license, so it has made the process of finding filming locations a lot simpler. In the grand scheme of things, missing one weekend of filming is not too big of a deal. The group of us are determined to see the project through to the end and we embrace every challenge. I cannot wait to see how our group is going to play this project out. For now, it is time to worry about continuing on. On to the next week. Bye, blog!

Together, my group and I made a short film about a young girl who gets stalked and abducted. It is meant to be a reflection on the larger social issue of gender-based violence and the widespread anxiety it causes in women. In the video we emphasize the vulnerability that many women encounter on a daily basis, especially while partaking in seemingly harmless hobbies like running, through the protagonist's terrifying experience. In our film, the male stalker, portrayed by me, stands in for the stereotypical predatory male, highlighting the risks associated with toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. Through a realistic and sympathetic portrayal...

Our Pitch

Hello, t he following are pitches my friends and I have come up with for the upcoming short film we are making in which I will be the lead actor.   Pitch A: "A high school girl goes to get snacks at a corner store to get some snacks, but who's watching?" Pitch B: "A professional soccer player joins a new team, but the coach is nothing like he expected." Yes?No?-(Pitch A):  As the lead actor of our upcoming short film, I am thrilled to share a pitch for the intense narrative that will unfold in our possible project , "In the Shadows." The story revolves around a 16-year-old high school girl, portrayed by our friend Sarah, who embarks on a seemingly ordinary trip to a corner store for snacks. The atmosphere quickly takes a chilling turn as Sarah's character becomes the unsuspecting target of a sinister kidnapper, played by me, Brayden, her real-life close friend. The juxtaposition of our genuine friendship against the backdrop of an intense, sus...
