  FILM DAY FAILED Unfortunately we had another film day that was failed again. After Danny canceled on us for the club, we decided we were going to film the rest of our movie on March 23rd. Unfortunately, I had to study for a math exam that interfered with our filming. My mom did not want me going to film this day last minute because she wanted me to study so I had to cancel on my group members to do so. I told them I was free the weekend of 27th-29th but I got no response from my team.  I plan on discussing with them for a good reschedule day when we go back to school.

  New Filming day As I said in my previous post, our teammate failed to follow through with our original day to finish filming. So this left us with trying to find a new day to continue our filming process.  As a group we decided that on March 23rd, we we going to film the whole day, starting with finishing our morning scenes going till the nighttime scenes for us to finish. I have an appoitment at 7 however, so when I go to my appointment, Chris and Danny will work on the production title and fonts.  This should be our last day filming so we then will be able to go to start editing our movie and starting our final blogs. We are going to have this day planned out far in advance so we do not disrupt anymore of our filming schedule. We are going to have that day restricted to all group members for making plans that day. This alspo includes us taking off work because we have to finish filming so we can start editing. 

  Film Day Failed My group and I decided that we were going to finish filming our night time scenes on Saturday, March 7th. We were going to meet between 6 and 6:30 at Chris's house to finish the night-time scenes that we needed to complete that we were unable to complete when we last filmed. Unfortunately around 5:30 as I was getting ready, my teammate, Daniel Sanchez, texted the group chat saying he had a "family matter" he had to deal with. Later that night Chris discovered he was actually at a club in Tampa FL. So he ultimately canceled filming on me and Chris to go to a club so we now have to film 2 weeks later and extend the process of our work.  This screwed us over and did not help our group whatsoever. This showed Chris and I that Danny seems unreliable in our group and not committed to this project, as me and Chris on the other hand are committed and do work to finish the project so we can accomplish this class with a good grade. He put no thought into our group...

  About Me My name is Hailey Pollom. I am a senior at Sarasota high school and I am originally from Chicago and I plan to go to college at Eckerd in St. Pete Florida.  I grew up watching movies with my mom and watching shows. I never got into what people would call "oldies" but I love all the classics like "Dirty Dancing," "Napolean Dynamite," "Talledega Nights," "Neverending story," and more. I grew up watching Romantic Comedies mainly with my mom with my favorite being the "notebook" or "10 things I hate about you." I also watch a lot of 90s-2000s shows like "the OC," "One Tree Hill," etc. Being able to be in this media studies class and learn about how movies and films are made has adapted my mindset every time I watch something now. I can see the movie and films in a whole new perspective such as being able to watch the lighting changes and how certain sounds can make a whole difference in a s...

  Movie Poster This movie poster we felt strongly represents our film. The dim lighting of the dark greys and browns highlights the deep and dark background of our film. The shadows creates a tone of almost a cold dim atmosphere that can make our audience feel almost unwanted or put a sense of stress on them. Along with that, the contrast between light and dark within the poster sends a mood of love and hate and the sunrise and sun lighting makes it seem like there is a sense of hope and freedom lying ahead.  The movie title we picked seemed like it best fits our characters and movie plot because the plot of the movie is a loving couple that has this evil between them separating them from their love. The evil is acts of violence and hatred and the "Glass between us" fits the plot as the glass being those acts of violence and hatred throughout the film and throughout the couples relationship. The title creates and tension between the audience and movie that will draw them into...

  Equipment We began prepping for our film by deciding what equipment we need to make this film go through.  STEADY CAM To start, we are going to borrow a steady cam from my teacher so we can get all the shots without any shakiness to the camera. This will also allow us to smoothly move around each scene we have to act and will make it easier for Chris to film.  MAKEUP We will then use eyeshadow and other makeup products to make our bruises for the movie we need more realistic. It will help portray real injuries like you may see in real life. It will help the audience understand the severity of the actions we will show in the film.
