Genre Research: The Call

 For our research me and my partner chose the same 3 movies. We started off with The call. It is a thriller that came out in 2013. The main character is a 911 operator named Jordan. She is tasked with aiding in saving people lives. On a specific day she receives a call from a specific girl who is being kidnapped, with 911 on the way Jordan stays on the phone to help the victim stay as safe as possible. At some point the operator makes a mistake and puts the girls life in jeopardy. After a failed attempt to save her life Jordan is now working a new position where she cant make a mistake again. When another call gets presented in front of her she is faced with the same task. To help save another kidnapped girl. This time can she successfully do it? Both this film and our movie share the same crime idea. Jordan helps with solving crime and in our film we end up being involved in the crime. Jordan in the movie makes mistakes in the movie that put other people in jeopardy, unintentionally. The mother in our film makes mistakes of letting her bestfriend be her godmother not knowing that it would cost her life. What I like about this film is the fact that Jordan went beyond her job to help save the second girl's life. She goes beyond just being an operator, part of this could be her guilt in failing the first girl, nd maybe she wants to make sure she gets it right. For example for the second victim she was the one to rescue her from the kidnaper, not any other police officer, but the operator went out of her way to make sure this girl was saved. The things that I didn't like was the fact that she irresponsibly put the first girl's life at risk. Jordan was on the phone with the first victim and instructed her to find a hiding spot under the bed, the victim accidental hung the phone, and Jordan called her back. I believe this was a huge mistake because when the operator called her back this revealed the victims location to the kidnapper nd got her killed. Being trained for this job I'm sure Jordan knew that this wasn't safe.

 My name is Suzie Louis, I’m in 11th grade and I just turned 16 2months ago #cancergang. I’m the middle of 2 siblings, and older and a younger brother, they irritate the living life out of me but I’m not sure what I would do without them, they’re my only source of entertainment. I'm a very loud person, not so much vocally, but personality wise, I love to have fun and make the best of situations good or bad. I enjoy watching lots of Disney plus, eating, watching Tiktok’s and lounging around. Since Quarantine I’ve become obsessed with Marvel movies, I’ve rewatched the Avenger movies once a week, and at this point I’m reciting lines from memory. I’m trying to find a new hobby, and I’m thinking about doing nail art, I’ve seen lots of videos online and I want to try to learn even though I know it’s going to be difficult. As far as this year goes, I’ve spent the last 6-7 months indoors which absolutely sucks, but I’ve made the best of it. This month I got my eyebrows micro-bladed for the...

2nd Location Filming Blog

Image
 We talked about the process at our first filming location. Now I am going to discuss our second filming location. We went to my partner's house. Where we filmed the other half of our opening sequence. We started as soon as we arrived at her house. We had just previously left the park. The lighting no longer mattered because we were filming the rest inside. We checked for or props. All we needed was a hammer and notes My partner supplied that at her house. Next, we did touch-ups. We also did outfit changes. We did this because we wanted to make it seem like it was a different day in the film.  We went over the script for the other two scenes to make sure we had it down pact. Filming at my partner's house was easier than the park. We didn't have to refilm that much. Maybe about 2 or 3 times. Since my brother who played Jackson wasn't in the next two scenes it was much easier. It was more difficult to film at the park with him. He wasn't a problem anymore. After we fi...

Planning Storyboard for Music Video

Image
For the storyboard, my partner and I came up with 2 separate halves of the storyboard and put them together below. Just as in my last storyboard, I am a terrible drawer, but I did try my hardest on my drawings. I drew the top half, my partner drew the bottom half. I will start by explaining that we want to start our commercial off with us being in the park and then moving to my partner,  Fatima's house. We establish the setting of our first location, in the story board, being the park. I also did a drawing of the next part of our music video, us having a picnic at the park. We have decided to incorporate props with the idea by having a picnic setup, with the blanket and basket, and well even be eating food/using it as a prop. After we have our picnic we will do the other half of our music video in another location. I We will be filming ourselves heading to the other location, walking and talking like normal friends do. At my partners house we will start our other half of the music ...
