everybody makes mistakes: what we could've done better

abby don't get beaten up challenge go!

 today's post is yet another free blogpost, so today I will talk about our current progress. So, we have finally finished the video and let me just stay, one of my favorite parts is figuring out fight choreography. It wasn't necessarily hard but doing it was so fun coming up with ways I would be "killed". One of my favorite memories working on this project was eagerly asking my frends to "choke" me in an attempt to figure out how to make the beat up scenes to look realistic. But since I need a photo here is a collection of black eyes, and beat up photos of us doing makeup trials.

bro we gotta do this again?: the second day of our title sequence shooting

expectations vs reality: how we dealt with things didn't go our way

why this year sucked: plot twist it does get better

people we couldn't have done it without: special thanks people

yes i would lin manuel myself: a production wish list

 We all know that my true dreams is being in the entertainment industry, (singing and dancing) but what would I do if I had a big production bucks to do this title sequence. I can't even fathom it. But in the very slim chance that I could be able to do this, I still wanna keep the representation within this project high. So I still want people of color to be on the screen. And if we decide to do this I'm trying to go all the way. Meaning we are going big or going home. So that means we are gonna make this a whole entire movie so we would need people to play the parents of Irene, maybe even commit to the first idea rather than doing all of our location changes.

Actors:

I'm gonna say it myself, I would love to star in this. I never see people who look like me in mainstream media in these slasher films and actually end up alive, cough cough Julia Rehwald. But seeing someone like me and being the first kind of representation in this kind of film would be very big for me.

But for someone to play my father, low-key Kevin Quan. Is that too tall of a request? I don't really know a lot of asian "father-figure" roles. For my mom I'm not really sure, maybe Lea Salonga? Shes also a filipina actress and singer and it would be really cool. 

For the best friends I would want people that resemble the original actors of Kashneah and Jadelyn. So maybe Xochil Gomez and McKennah Grace, she's fully white but shes a very successful actress and is around the age range. 

Costumes:

For costumes I wanna keep it realistic but I would probably put in more time for the flash back scenes so maybe more visually stark dresses for the homecoming night. I really want the outfits to be realistic to what teenagers my age would wear.

Setting/location: 

I want a more "high school" looking highschool if that makes any sense. Like I want the lockers and everything I feel like a typical hallway. I love how our school looks don't get me wrong, but its too colorful or the image I want the hallway to be.

Light/sound/editing:

I really want it to be very similar to normal ambiance lighting, using the lighting that comes naturally in the areas we are at. Meaning that timing is very important, and hopefully we can use non-copyrighted music to put behind our clips because non copyrighted music subjectively sounds better. I don’t know much about really good editors or any renowned ones but for sound I could love to get Ludwig Göransson because he did very well with some well known movies such as Sinners and Black Panther.
