OCC'sen Storyboard 3/25

Don't Forget To Remember...

Tomorrow will be the first official day of filming!!!!!  We will be doing the scenes in Wiesback's room.  That means Actors: REMEBER TO BRING THE CLOTHES WE TALKED ABOUT!!! 

• Branded Hoodie, Jeans, Vans/Nike sneakers
• Be dressed and ready to act in Wiesback's

Follow @MrFalcon01 for these same reminders since only 5 of you read this blog.

I made a twitter account for this project for the people that don't check both Facebook or this blog. ------> @MrFalcon01 @MrFalcon01 @MrFalcon01 @MrFalcon01 @MrFalcon01 <-------

Becca and I control the twitter page.  I also made a Facebook Group called "Film Institute".

 

Today we officially started working on the film:

 

• Sam and Becca decided on the wardrobe.  Becca will post photos of what the outfits will look like.
• Alejandra took Headshots of all the Actors (minus Costal, he's absent) and I wrote down the details of what they will be wearing in the film under their photo.
• Devon took photos of the scene in Wiesback's room
• Tyler, Hugo, and Wiesback came up with the camera angles for the scenes in Wiesback's room.
• Tyler's Group gave the script more dialogue and discussed the scenes that will be filmed on Tuesday. They did their first run-through.
• Cam, Luke, and Gabe found music for the film.
• Christl made the posters that her group discussed yesterday.
• Kerwin, Cassie, Ryan, and Christina made the end movie credits.
• Kenny, Henry, Brandon, Stefen, Vince, and Zay got a lot of the Broll/stock footage.

March 20th, 2014

Here is the agenda for tomorrow:

Christl: The posters need to be designed and saved as .pdf files tomorrow. You will have access to the computers. You may choose some students to assist you if you wish.

Guzman ("Mom-Jeans"), Alejandra, Chloe, and Rebecca: You need to take head shots of the principal actors. Post them to the blog along with pictures of wardrobe ideas. Also, keep blogging.

Tyler: You will be meeting with the following people in Weisback's room: Weisback, Erin, Alex, Allie, Liepe, Kelsey, Blake, Erica, Nicole-Riane, Jon, Dindak, and Ish to discuss the scenes to be filled on Tuesday, March 25th. Work on adding some more student dialogue.

Gabe, Luke, and Cam: Start compiling ideas for the music. You could assemble a YouTube playlist of inspirations (using my computer in 229) or you could work on some original stuff in the Media Studio. Your call. I'd like to hear some demos by Monday.

Hugo, Charlotte, and Devon: Head to Weisback's. Take photos and beginning planning your shots.

Editors (Ryan, Cassie, Kerwin, and Christina): Head to the media studio and begin working on the credits. Please spell everyone's name correctly.

Kenny, Vince, Stefen, and Brandon: Start getting some b-roll/stock footage I would really like some footage of the Scantron machine. You may select some students to assist you if you wish.

Aforementioned people: You will be graded on effort and participation. This will count in all three film classes!

If you do not have a job for tomorrow, you will view the following video and compose a brief reflection (250 words). This will count in all three film classes!



Peace, yo.

Today we went into our groups:

Group 1 designed the PEC posters.  The PEC book will be SAT booklets with different covers. Wardrobe  for students will wear branded hoodies and jeans, Weisback will dress same as always but with a loose tie, Lockwood will dress all black, Clark will be disheveled, and Costal will be more put together.  Charlotte is a lady found on Google which will be the stern woman

Group 2 made the filming schedule stating that we have two days of filming a week. Day 1 is Tuesday and Day 2 is Thursday.  We start filming next week, 3/25 in Weisback's.  If you're in the film, MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES IN FILM.  I am making a Facebook Group and Twitter account for this film.  It will tell you where we're filming and what to remember to do.

Group 3 is in the middle of planning out the PEC test state video.  Thought of filming locations and planned B-role/stock footage.  They made the PEC test (5 weeks long).

Governor Danielson?

Conform.

OCC'sen Production Jobs

Just a reminder folks: Applications cannot be submitted via the comment section of this post.
A hard copy must be turned into either me (Clark), Lockwood, or Weisback by Friday, March 14th.
Explain why you want the job you have selected, and why you are qualified. This can be rather informal.
Also, feel free to apply for two or three positions as you may not get your first choice.

Persuasive Essay on your Best Picture Choice

Due Tuesday 3/11:  

Write a 5 paragraph persuasive essay on why your choice for Best Picture is the best choice for winning the Oscar (even if it didn't win).  Include the following:  how your film stands the test of time,  analyze a few of the key scenes from the film, why it is better than the other film nominees?  (100 Points)

Results of the Oakcrest Oscar Predictions

The 6,000 members of the academy voted and as expected many of you fell short since you didn't think Gravity could win (you may have been led astray by Mr Clark's vitriol for the film), but out of 10 nominations - Gravity picked up 7 Oscars including a big one for Best Director, and was the big winner.  12 Years won 3:  Best Picture (Brad Pitt's first), Best Supporting Actress - Lupita Nyong'o edged out Jennifer Lawrence (who fell again getting out of her car), and Best Adapted Screenplay.  Wolf of Wall Street had a bad night and didn't receive any Oscars.  American Hustle was a bust, having walked in with 10 nominations and left with none.  Dallas Buyers Club roped in a few awards with Matthew McConaughey winning Best Actor and giving a great speech.

On a side note, I can't believe some actresses actually ate pizza - probably the first time a carbohydrate hit their mouths since high school.  Didn't see George Clooney in the audience, was he still in space?  Overall a good show with a lot of great films.

Results of the Oscar Predictions (check your ballots):

1)  Chloe -  19 out of 24 (had all the big ones, missed on 5,  awesome job, you should try Powerball next)
2)  Mr Weisback - 16  (this was my best year ever, Gravity helped me!)
3)  Luke -  15  (missed some minor categories, but had the big ones)
4)  Kenny - 14 (missed big categories, but had everything else)
5)  Tyler Baldi - 13 (spread out)
5)  Isaiah - 13 (tied with Tyler)
6)  Erica - 12 
6)  Jon - 12
6)  Christl - 12
7)  Mr Costal - 11 (hurt by American Hustle predictions)
7)  Sam Guzman - 11
7)  Connor Dindak - 11
7)  Abi Wilcox - 11

rest of the pack......

*Mr Clark and Mr Lockwood - gone fishing
