.MOV Film Festival



Hailee and I editing.
Hi everyone! Can't believe this is our last full week then spring break! GT students as you guys know, this week our class is entering the student film festival! While writing our script we had to come up with some keywords that relate to our film, and i'll also tell you how they connect with our audience. So some of our keywords are Courage, Hope, Passion, Support, Risk,  Talent Jealousy, Friendship, and Unique.Starting off with Courage and hope: To perform an do well you need courage and hope for the best.  With courage you can come outside your comfort zone and really start something new. Passion is also what else drives our characters to join the talent show. One of our characters has the passion to sing, yet she is very shy. Although her supporting friend helps her fulfill that passion and to show her talent. We chose risk as a keyword as well because, our supporting character is always taking these risk for her shy friend and they have a really great friendship because of that. Jealousy is what our "villan" character feels when she also wants to win the talent show but knows that our shy girl has a better talent then her. As jealousy drives her to do some crazy-mean things she then realizes that all she needs to do is to be unique creates a friendship with our other two characters. Now do you understand how all of these keywords connect? Ok. On with the next paragraph.

Doing some voice overs.
Our film is called Kaile explores talent. (obviously you can tell what happens in the film) Our movie trailer's main message is to show everyone that they can show their talent. We are trying to show kids not to be scared of people judging them or making fun of them because they may just be jealous. Our goal is to fill kids with Courage and passion. We want people to relate to our characters.  At first Kaile (It feels so weird to use my name even though it's just a character!) So as I was saying our character Kaile first had no courage, she was very insecure and filled with fear. She didn't want to let anyone get to her or hurt her, so she never showed her unique passion for singing. Although Hailee made her learn not to be full of insecurity and to take risk, and taught her to not let anyone get to her. This is the main message we want our viewers to see.

During filming you have the good times and the bad times, now sit back and relax because I'm gonna tell you  all about  it. My team mates are Hailee and Tierra, Filming and TIME was our biggest challenge because we could never find the perfect time to film. Plus I wish we had a little more time. Tierra had practice almost every day, and Hailee and I couldn't film over the weekend. Everyday I was trying to make plans but we could never find a perfect day. Then we were on our last day before we have to turn it in. Finally we could all film, so at the kamalani playground stage I got there a little early and started to set up. Then my team mates came and we could finally film! We had a lot of fun filming. Yet we still needed to edit and this was due in our first period. Although lucky I'm in the kms news cast! (Go check it out on Vimeo KMS )  So I got dropped off really early and finished editing the rest of the movie trailer while running through our practices. Overall I think we did a good job and our movie turned out great, but time got us.

So guys, Spring break is this week! I know that I'm gonna be going to the beach 24/7.
See you guys in Quarter 4!
