2/5/23 Vlog #14 Props

     Props are essential for films and can create symbolism/importance for a film. For example, a good example of symbolism and importance is the infinity gauntlet in Avengers Infinity War. The prop my group has implemented so far is a baseball bat. But to add to that basic common baseball bat we got colored food dye that was red and covered the baseball bat with the food dye to make it look like blood. We did not only use the food dye on the baseball but on one of the actors to say he murdered someone with that baseball bat. The baseball bat resembles symbolism because it says peace on it and as the mafia boss is religious he wants "peace" but in the clip, the word peace is upside down to show the situation really isn't peaceful. But the first problem we ran into was we had nothing to use for blood, to begin with so we had to go around the neighborhood and ask for food dye or red syrup. The problem with this was we wasted time and didn't have enough per se to make mistakes with so the first shot with the use of blood was the only shot we had. The use of blood on the baseball bat created a great concept and alternative to blood. We decided to use the baseball bat as a prop because it is a classic tool used for harming people and when our group thought of violence and people getting beat up it was a baseball bat.

1/26/23 Vlog #10 Shooting Schedules

    Shooting schedules need to be planned carefully because at any time weather or pandemics can unexpectedly occur at any moment. These issues could even delay a film, ruin a film, or the film wouldn't even be possible to publish to the public. Examples of this can be seen in Black Widow , during the pandemic this movie got delayed because of Covid-19. We will make sure to plan carefully and keep track of the weather and stay on top of other things so that way we can complete our film in time. The way we'd like to organize our shooting schedule can be shown similarly to this photo  keeping everything organized and updating things to date. We would also need to be on top of everyone else's schedules, assuming the fact that people in my group may have plans we would have to find times when everyone is available, to ensure that we will be able to film properly. Some issues with shooting may be that people might not want to cooperate and we'd have to make a completely new

1/23/23 Vlog #7 Pros and Cons of being in a group

     Being in a group and working together can be a gift and a curse. This is because one person may agree on something and someone else won't which could create conflict between the group. My group struggled with focusing and getting work done, I had some really good ideas at least I thought they were good ideas and my group disagreed with me. So we all decided to chime in and work together on something we all agreed on. This issue can be seen with James Cameron and Patty Jenkins  as it can be shown two filmmakers were disagreeing with each other. My group may disagree with each other here and there when it comes to ideas but we all have to make sure to all agree on one thing so that no one is mad at each other and we all agree on the same things. We need to improve on working faster that way when the due date comes we are ready to edit little minor problems we have and turn our stuff in. Our next project is the storyboard and scripts which means we have to sit down and talk about
