EVIL OTTO KANE FROM KENTUCKY: FILMING DAY 3

Despite some challenges, we actually got a really good amount of our film done during day 3 :D This was Saturday, 3/28 and we all fully met up at the church at about give or take 10:40 AM to get things rolling! We then went to my neighborhood and filmed on the side walk right next to my house. There we got a good chunk of the Issac scene (scene 3) without Mable since she wasn't available just yet (stay tuned for day 4) so it was only Otto (me!) writhing in pain and cursing after getting punched in the face and Issac (Andrew) talking back and yeah the entire thing took a good second but we got it done and we got it good :D! During the entirety of this scene, I had to lie on the ground while the sun was hot and blazing and all the way out of the clouds so I was literally getting burnt to a crisp like a fried egg while also "bleeding." The things I do for this class dude I swear!

 

The harsh experience was all worth it though since we got arguably the hardest part of the Issac scene done since it required some action and a tad bit of stunt! I'd also like to mention for the said action part, I got some "blood" added to my face for some nice effect and because Otto kinda like maybe breaks her nose and that mighttt need some blood! Wouldn't make sense for my face to get slammed in and not bleed! The details are important everyboday! I don't have a very clear photo of my fake bleeding and rather would not show it here on my blog but pretend you just saw a picture with a bunch of fake blood around my nose :D Pretty cool right :DD We got everything for the Issac scene done within about an hour and 30! Nothing too crazy yet nothing too short, that scene was some hard work! 

Afterwards, we decided to go to Joaquin's neighborhood and get started on the infamous car scene where a random passerby see's one of Otto's fliers and gets run over twice! This part was HARD. Even before the actual car part it was already pretty difficult!!! Since Otto breaks her nose in the last scene and canonically gets taken to the hospital by Annie she has a bunch of bandages on it afterwards and during the first shot we tried to film of the car scene, it falls off as she puts up another flier. This time, Otto has her notorious iconic red and black hat on gifted to her by Annie so things are starting to get a little more real! Level 2 Otto! So close yet so far!! The thing that was the absolute hardest to film in the first shot was the BANDAID ARHGHRHhHAhaHAH! This thing literally had a mind of its own. Some takes it would fall down way too early or just not come off at all and it literally took us SO MANY tries to finally get it down BAHAHAH keep in mind the heat was EXCRUTIATING and was thirstier than a dog outside! I literally won't do anything like this for another class. 

After that one shot of Otto that took us the entire space time continuum to get right, we then transitioned to the other side of the street and tried to rehearse the car scene a bit to see how it would look like. Take back everything I said about the last shot up there and let me just say that this scene will be the hardest part to film in terms of finding out what shots will be best to use in order to make it look like someone actually got ran over. GHHHAHH! It can surely be done completely though very soon with the help of my lovely storyboard so I have a lot of hope and faith and all :D! Also, we were thinking of having a whole other actor for the passerby that gets run over, that being Joaquin's dad, but we figured it'd just be easier to have Andrew with a cap and sunglasses to be him. We love efficiency! This thing is due pretty soon yo!! 

The passerby but pretend he has a cap and sunglasses

(this was just rehearsal :D sunglasses guy will pu soon :D)

After a while of experimenting, we decided to call it a day and come back another day, with everything fully planned out for the car scene so things with it can flow a lot better and more smoothly! Don't worry car scene! We'll be RIGHT back!! I'm glad we at least got some experience with it though. You always learn through trials and tribulations! Right after we called it a day, we all went into Joaquin's car and he then took us home and then yeah for the rest of my Saturday I worked on more media! My life has been a never ending cycle of media media media and media! Not saying that I'm hating it! I'm just quite tired! Can't wait for summer break!! ahahha help!

we didn't get that much bangtan boys on filming day 3 but some bangtan boys is better than no bangtan boys so it was okay :D Actually lol i lied we got a good chunk of bangtan boys but its all on my digicam and i lowkeuniely wanna go to eep so just pretend you saw some of the bangtan boys caught on my rebel t7 okay yes yay okay :D Dw it'll probably appear on my social media :D

EVIL OTTO KANE FROM KENTUCKY: FILMING DAY 4

LMFAOOO this filming day was literally the best one in my opinion I genuinely had so much fun!! This year in media A level I've had some fun during group projects but definitely not as much as AS and because of that for the longest time I was all like "yeahh i like AS better I miss the happy go lucky goofy making a fun film with your friends feeling" but today was the day all that turned around :D! I finally got more than 5 ounces of pure happiness and enjoyment out of this filming day and felt even more confident in the project we were making! This time around our Mable pulled up (my bestie westie Isa who offered up to act in this film props to her) and we made her the absolute priority! We got a whole ton of Mable footage down, that being TWO WHOLE SCENES! The first scene we need Isa for was the Otto and Mable scene inside the car when they're talking right after Otto makes the deal with Annie and the second was the rest of the Issac scene! AND WE GOT THOSE ALL! WAHOO!! Up top over to your left there, you can see a nice raw shot we got of Mable eyeing Annie Christian very suspiciously after he raised his hat and revealed his horns a bit! Mable's catchin on to something everybody! Sound the alarms! Wee woo wee woo!! Here are some other cool raw shots we got today with our lovely Mable :D

Everything from this filming day went pretty smoothly despite all the time that we spent together :D We started rolling at like about 2:40-3ish and went on until 7! One huggeee huge hugee GARGANTUOUS conflict though! Today was a little rainy! And little is quite an understatement! We planned to all meet up at my house at 1:30 because 30 minutes before it looked all clear and quite nice so I gave my team and Mable the green card! HOWEVER! IT BEGAN RAINING AGAIN! BY THE TIME IT WAS 1:30!! GAHH! Very fortunately though, the only person who was there by that time was Joaquin so we had the opportunity to wait a little bit for things to clear up and for the rest of the crew/cast to arrive! For literally an hour, while we were waiting for Andrew to come, Isa, Joaquin and I just sat in the car and bonded :D It was very nice seeing our star of the show for the day get along well with the crew (well I mean obviously she gets along well with me cause she's my best friend but still :D)! 

After Andrew arrived, the sky was clear enough for us to get outside and make an attempt at getting some good shots...buuttt to our ultimate demise rain starting coming in like a TSUNAMI BRO LMAOO IT WAS SO SCARY.  In a frenzy, my friends and I BOOKED IT to Isa's car since it was the closest while Joaquin went inside my garage in order to prevent getting equipment or important documents like my storyboard getting damaged. Isa's car was victim to a whole ton of water but with the power of friendship and enough cloth, we got it all out :D Then we just sat there for a bit while wiping off the water a bit more! Waiting! And Andrew filmed a bts video! 

By this point, we doubted that anything would be able to get done for the day..BUT TO OUR LUCK! WE HAD A GAME PLAN! We could get one whole scene that doesn't really concern the sky and that scene was the Otto and Mable in the car scene! Wahoo!! So once the rain stopped being so dang heavy, we coordinated the location and started making our way! I went in Isa's car while Joaquin and Andrew went into Joaquin's car. We met up at a nearby Publix and went from there :D Pretty successful shoot of the scene! However, I do have one little minor concern for when we post prod everything....why are Mable and Otto parked? No food is really shown in each shot so uhhh why are we here? I might be wrong with the food thing cause I do vividly remember picking up the popcorn chicken that Joaquin brought and just having it in my hand during one take so hopefully that showed up well so we can use it well :D! Oh yeah I think it's worth mentioning that Joaquin got popcorn chicken from Publix for this scene. They made a lovely bts video about it :D

bros literally just walking

We finished up this car scene pretty quick in the end and had some time left on our hands to make an attempt at the Issac scene despite some of the sparratic cloudiness that kept haunting us throughout the day. Nothin that a good post prod can't fix though! I'm optimistic about this :D One thing though that I noticed when everybody went home including myself, was that some of the audio, in two files, cut out and I could not hear anything as a result. Of course that made me go all like GAHHH!! but it can for sure be solved so I'm not gonna waste a lot of energy on it :] That's something to discuss with my media friends next class, not at almost midnight :D sigghhh technology these days

As you may have already seen, we got a lot of bts during filming day 4 and they're all my favorites :D I am literally not kidding when I say that today was awesome. Like I said last blog post, the power of friendship prevails! TAKE THAT, APRIL 10TH! MWAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA 

oki bangtan boys time! Just gonna put a couple here for now cause I am quite tired and need to get that ccr post done before i get flashbanged tmrw
