Casting

 Casting

The casting of our movie was going to be based off of a stereotypical household where the man of the house is running the jobs while the woman of the house is cooking, cleaning, and doing work from home. The man in this case is going to be Danny and me (Hailey) as the woman. 

Danny and I have previously been in a relationship in the past, so we have experienced what it is like to argue with each other over the 2 years we were together. Although it was not to the extent that will be in our opening, it will be easier for us to act out with each other specifically considering it has happened in real life and real time. And the relationship aspect will be easy because although we are Ex's', we get along fairly well and will be able to easily act out the relationship scenes as we have been there before as well. 

We broke up mid planning of the movie but were able to work through it so there was not any tension within our movie, but this also helped planning go a lot smoother because we had something to run off of that would help and possibly even bring out real emotion. 

Along with that, we also had perfect props to use. We have picture frames of pictures of us together that are going to be great props to use in our movie opening to make us look more like a realistic couple.

Film day failed

  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...

Research for movie opening

  Movie opening research After we decided on our genre and characters for the movie, we started to move along with more of our plot. We began doing research on how domestic violence with substance abuse is usually portrayed. Our sources and hearing from personal stories from what we have seen have told us that substance abuse and domestic violence is usually portrayed in a very confusing way. It can usually be someone that everyone least expects.  Some movies that include domestic violence and substance abuse might be the movie "Waves," or the movie "Precious." The movie waves I have watched many times before. It is a very deep and has a major background. The tone of the movie is very slow and melancholy but shows progression of anger and held back emotions that lead to the abuse of both substances and a significant other.   I also recently watched a movie called "It Ends With Us" which shows strongly of a woman who is deeply in love with a man that abuses...
