Critical Reflection

  How do your products represent social groups or issues?   Constantly throughout my film, there is the reoccurring image of drugs being present in t the movie. Hunter and Kazmin contemplate whether taking the drugs is worth the risk or not and have a hard time deciding what the right choice is. To have fun Hunter and Kazmin eventually end up deciding to give in and take the drugs. They have lots of fun at first which is what you get from taking drugs, temporary fun. They end up getting attached to the drugs and can’t stop taking them in the film because of the rush t they get from indulging in them. Hunter ends up overdosing on the drugs, causing his death and Kazmin ends up getting caught by the police.  As it was seen in the movie, however, all of this was Kazmin’s thoughts on what could've happened if they had taken the drugs. When it’s revealed that they never end up taking the drugs, the drugs are thrown in the trash can. This directly represents the social issue of teens bei

After long hours of sweat, no blood, and tears I have done the impossible . It was late night last night editing , but this is quite some masterpiece . The film just looks spotless , the transitions are seamless. Not only is it seamless, it's hilarious. I could not stop laughing when I was watching the final product. I am so excited to see this film on the big screen in just two days! I've spent countless hours advertising and making sure I can spread some joy to the world through my film.  The most exciting part is the end so be ready for that! I want to bring this on home and make show something people will remember . I have a big SAT test tomorrow but I had to make sure everything was in order for this film . I wanted to have some more time to review for the SAT but I worked on the film for the best interest of my fan

Filming is finally completed!

Image
 Hey everyone this is Hunter Pangia back with another blog and welcome back. I know it's been a little bit since I've blogged, but it's because I've been working a lot with my group and that is right the filming has been completed. I finished filming with Kazmin and Noura a week ago and it went just great. Kazmin showed up at the designated time but I can say the same for Noura as she showed up pretty late. It worked out though as I could get the remaining scenes filmed with them in good weather. The last few scenes were filmed at the beach and it was a challenge to recreate a party scene that I had envisioned. Kazmin and I were able to gain the courage and got random strangers to be in the film for us to paint that picture of a party. It was pretty awkward, but it was for the best interest of the film and all of my amazing fans. After filming I got a bite with the crew and it was to the advertising for this film. Kazmin created the website to promote the film using sce

Wrapping up the Month

Image
Hey everyone this is Hunter Pangia back at it with another blog and I hope everyone is having a tubular Thursday.Today I have been doing some finishing touches on the opening sequence for my amazing short film. I have mainly been using the software capcut for my editing and it's working pretty well. Since it is a free platform it's not as advanced as I would like it to be. It's mainly used for a lot of small tiktokers to edit their videos but it works for me. I've been debating on the shade of color my film should be in and I was thinking of some options. I thought a grainy filter would be nice to fit the beginning of the film. After editing for a while I got hungry and went to Chipotle. I got me a good burrito bowl to charge me up for my continued efforts on my project. I was discussing with my peers and all of us agreed that the music used will probably be some corny soundtrack. I want to capture the comedy in the film so using a humorous song is important. I have bee

Figuring it out..

Image
 Hey everyone this is Hunter Pangia back with another blog and welcome back ! Last blog I discussed that I have  a date set. With that being said it's important to note everything that will be done this Sunday . First I made sure with the group that a camera is available to film. Without a camera what could possibly be done ? That was a rhetorical question, nothing can be done . I first searched up the best cameras to use for films and they are pretty expensive. I thought that it would be smart to film on one of the phones my group and I had available. Phones are a perfect alternative. The newer cameras today especially can film in 4k resolution at 60 pristine frames per second. To me it's crazy how much technology has evolved  over the years . I have also confirmed that I will be using my father's bee pollen as the prop for fake drugs. They are safe to consume and it represents the drugs effectively. I was considering using some gummies to mimic THC gummies but that didn&#

A date it set!

Image
 Hey everyone this is Hunter Pangia back with another blog and welcome back! After some careful planning and discussion with my group, a date to continue filming is set. The entire group came to a general consensus that tho is upcoming Sunday is the best time for all of us to continue filming. The goal is to knock out most of the film that day so I can get to editing and touching up the short film as needed. I also have to work with my group and establish social media pages and flyers to promote our film. My philosophy is that if no one knows about our film then how will the audience watch it. Furthermore, if no one watches the film, then what was the point in giving effort to generate this amazing short film. I don't make films because I want to enjoy them. The main reason for me wanting to produce media projects is for the audiences' enjoyment. I'm all for then fans and if the fans are happy then I'm happy. Moving on, in the time I haven't been working on this pro
