Production Blog: Here's an Update!

Image
 Hey, Sappies. Back once again, is Char. Today with another production blog for you. So with Valentina being hospitalized, it's hard to get any real work done around here. Sabrina and I have been working and moving some stuff around so that we can film and edit the music video in a way that will let us turn the music video in on time. I've been contacting some of our prospects for filming locations, and so far have gotten the okay for filming from Holiday Park, Lauderdale Yacht Club, and Bulegreen Cafe Yard. I still haven't gotten concrete responses from any other locations, but I will try and get some this weekend. To not fall behind, Sabrina and I will be filming on Saturday some clips that have to do with just us so that we have at least some content done. Next week we will try and film with Valentina and Parker for the rest of our clips. Keep in mind that this all has to do with whether or not Valentina can even walk, since as of now she hasn’t been cleared to leave the

Production Blog: Do You Want the Good or Bad News First?

 Hey, Sappies. Welcome back. Wow. There’s a lot to unwrap today. A lot. But first, let’s start with the easy stuff. We’ve already come up with everything we need to do schedule and filming wise for the music video. Locations, filming dates, editing dates, props, etc. Okay, but here’s what we didn’t know. What didn’t happen to be in the backup plan. Valentina got into a sailing accident, and now she’s hospitalized for the rest of the week. So scratch the schedule and everything we wanted to do this week. Time to start from the beginning. But to be completely honest, it’s a lot to redo right now. So I’m just going to focus on the basics. Like the editing software that I’ll be using (CapCut) and calling restaurants that my group and I will be filming at to get permission to film. I also need to figure out how I can get props that we might need such as a bouquet of flowers for our ending scene (which is a surprise until further notice), and makeup products and brushes for our get ready wit

Storyboard: What’s the idea?

  BOX 1: All the girls get ready in Valentina's bedroom. All of them mention their new boyfriend. BOX 2: At the same time, all girls receive a notification of the dame text message from the same guy, showing they are all with the same guy. BOX 3: Parker (the guy) walks down the street while each girl goes up tp him and hugs/kisses him on the cheek. BOX 4: Sabrina is shown writing in her diary about how much she likes Parker. BOX 5: Split screen shown of all three girls writing in their diary about how much they like Parker. BOX 6: Parker texts to all girls "Can't wait to see you" to all the girls. BOX 7: places. BOX 8: Parker mouths lyrics while on a date with each of the girls. Same date and character framing in different Parker mouths lyrics while on a date with another one of the girls. Different place. BOX 5: Split screen shown of all three girls writing in their diary about how much they like Parker. BOX 6: Parker texts to all girls "Can't wait to see yo

Group Blog: What's New? Who's In?

 Hey, Sappies. Welcome back. Today's blog is going to be a group blog, in which I let you know all the gossip about my next project: a music video. In my Introduction Blog, I told you that my group consisted of me, Valentina, Sabrina, and Ary. But I also told you that we would not all stay. So now that we're finally to group projects...who do you think didn't make the cut? Well, drum roll please, 1 2 3 Ary did not make the cut! Why? Well...those details wont be disclosed. I'm sure you Sappies will find out some way, but you won't hear it from me. Anyway, onto the actual purpose of this blog. For the music video, I'm going to be working with Val and Sabi. We're good friends, but we're also all very productive. We are incredibly academically motivated and care a lot about our grades and test scores, so I believe we will work great together. That's exactly why I chose them to be a part of my group. Now, of course since this is a music video, we have to

Introduction to Char: Music Video Edition

       Hey, Sappies, it's Char. And today, I have a little intro for you. Again.           Now, wh ile I am more than sure that you'd love to hear of all the juicy scandals coming your way, let me give you a  little background first. No, I haven't changed, but you still have to be up to date with me, so here it is.      My name is Charlize, but you can call me Char. I'm a Scorpio, but not too into all of that horoscope stuff. I love watching soccer and idolize Messi but, I also play the sport myself, as a right back defender. I'm Peruvian from both part of my parents and love to embrace my culture. While my ambitions are constantly changing, I currently aspire to become a producer or work in some area of film production in a leadership role. My academic success means everything to me, and while I am my biggest supporter, I am also my biggest hater. I love to bake pastries such as cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, muffins, pionono (a Peruvain dessert), etc. I also love
