PART 3: Post Production Fun

 So, production and filming are all done, we can finally rest! While we all wish that was the truth, it is far from it. It is now time for putting all the shots together, editing them and getting peer reviews. In this series I will go over the editing software we used and editing basics for Toxic Ways. The first blog for this series will be up tomorrow and I hope you enjoy this series.

Production Week Finale

 I HAVE GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS, Yes sadly the Production Week Series has come to an end, but there will be a part 2 to this series named Post-Production Fun. Blogging of this series will be commence from March 13th-March 17th. I had a lot of fun making Part 1 so if you did not have a chance to read it yet, please do🤣!

PART 2: Cast

 In this blog, I will be going over the cast of Toxic Ways.

In film, cast pertains to the actors in a movie, play, or show. The cast of Toxic Ways contains 6 actresses and 1 actor with a total of 7 cast members.

This is Sabrina. Sabrina is the Main character of the Film as she is "Creepy Lucas" girlfriend. Sabrina likes music and plays the trumpet. This picture was taken on the set of Toxic Ways.

This is Lucas. Lucas is 2nd Main Character in this film considering the fact that he is creepy and is the boyfriend of Sabrina. He likes planes and has a part time job at the local mortuary. 

This is Lucas's Ex. She knows everything about Lucas that he tries to hide from his current girlfriend, Sabrina. She likes heavy metal and anime.

This is friend #1 and #2. They both known each other from elementary school and knew Sabrina from middle school.

This is friend #3. She just moved from Trinidad and Tobago and Sabrina was the only one to not make fun of her accent.

PART 2: Camera Work and Camera Movement

  This blog will focus on the Camera Work and Camera Movements of Toxic Ways and how it will give the accurately tell time and location. The camera placement and movement is one of the most crucial aspects in every film production. It represents the overall vision of the director, the skill of the director of principal photography, and their ongoing collaboration throughout the filmmaking process. 

While planning that Camera work and Camera Movement section of Toxic Ways, we tried to fit in a copious amount of different camera angles, shots sizes, camera framing, camera movements and everything type of shot that pertains to what is taught in Aice Media Studies. In this blog, I will go over a blooper and explain the significance of the types of Camerawork or Camera Movements.

This shot is a Dolly-Master-Two shot. It is a dolly shot because that camera slides backwards then turns into a master shot because it emphasizes the dramatic background ad focuses on the 2 characters, it is also a two shot because it only contains two characters in it. 

This is a blooper due to the fact that Sabrina forgot her lines and everyone on set began to laugh. 

PART 2: Setting

 This blog will focus on the setting of Toxic Ways and how it matches the movie and its genres and main ideas. Setting in film is the time and place in which a story is told. establishes the mood, reveals characters and conflicts, and gives clues to a story's theme. 

The setting of Toxic Ways is Piper Highschool's Campus. Given that Piper Highschool gives off a sort of gloomy sense of lighting in many parts of the structure, Motion Productions decided that this is where the set of the movie will be filmed. This is also another good setting due to the fact that Sabrina and Lucas are highschoolers. The setting mixed with the establishing shots in the film can reaffirm the audience that the characters in the film are highschoolers. This movie takes place during the spring in 2023. The time of day in the film is midday. The Socioeconomic status of the characters are that they are in the middle class with Sabrina being one of the only few who are in the upper class.

This is the "Teacher" and "Sabrina" on set of Motion Production's "Toxic Ways".

The film name is Toxic Ways. It is a Thriller/Horror Film. This is a film produced by Motion Productions and Directed by Makahi O.

NOTICE: Laying off a Team Member

Today, Motion Production, with a 3-1 vote, decided that it would be in the best interest of everyone in the group to lay off one of our members. This laying off was thought of over time with evidence and internal concerns the decision was made. This laying off was due to the concerns of horseplay and putting our Cambridge Aice Diploma in jeopardy.

At Motion Production, we take this matter very seriously and under no circumstances will there be any unwilling team member that can potentially sabotage the Aice Diploma for anybody in this Company.
