  How do your products represent social groups or Issues? The film Maneater is unlike many thriller films, challenging the social norms of the man being dominant in society (gender inequality) In the film industry women likely aren't taken into account as the dominant ones, being the protagonist. Mostly, they are likely defeated by their male enemy. Unfortunately in many films, including thrillers, males are the dominant gender biologically and they tend to win a fight both mentally and physically. Our short film features Nelly Ferguson and Kyle Nelson on a mission to hunt each other down and kill one another as a part of each other's mission instructed from their agency. Throughout the film Kyle is seen trying to undermine Nelly into poisoning her. Nelly detects this deceiving act and throws away the poisoned chocolate “gifted” to her by Kyle. At the end of the film, they are both seen getting into a fight with a knife, Kyle winning at first, then Nelly eventually taking victo

making of the postcard

Hey blogger! As promised i am back with production of the postcard. I love being creative so this was so much fun for me. i used the app called Canva because it is the best to utilize for these kinds of things. It really is so much fun. I first had to start with a template. I searched for thriller and horror backgrounds to filter my options. I found one with the best font and went with it. It had red lettering which was perfect. The aesthetic was super cool and went amazing with what i had envisioned. Next i had to map out what i wanted on it. I had to open a social media account to add to it. I opened an Instagram and added content on it so it wasn’t just a blank link. I then was able to form a QR code to put on our poster. I had no idea you could even do that on instagram! Next i had to figure the dates our film would “premiere” of course. I chose 3 random dates and added that to the back of the card. The font for that was very spooky and cool as well. I then added little emblems for

finally filming

Guys guess what! We finally filmed! This was a long time coming but lemme tell you about it. So Isa and her boyfriend could not be the stars in our film unfortunately. There were many issues with rides and everything so we had to improvise. Lauren stepped in and had the idea for her and her boyfriend to be our stars. Lemme tell you, it took a whole lot of convincing to get Lauren’s boyfriend to film but luckily he agreed. There were two filming days, Wednesday and Friday. They ended up going better than expected. There was a little bit of an issue we ran into which was the fake knife. Filming happened right after school and I bought fake knifes on amazon. Obviously i could not bring a fake knife to school so that didn’t workout. Lauren’s boyfriend’s dad ended up making a fake knife that actually looked better than the Amazon one. To make the knife, we used cardboard and wrapped it in tinfoil to make it look like metal. Fake blood was used made out of ketchup and it actually looked grea

Leaving for New York

 Hey blogger! So guess what. I leave for New York tomorrow. I am so excited, I'm going to my cousins bridal shower. This is the one i was telling you guys about in the last blog. The bride's name is Olivia and she is the sweetest. Her and her husband Stefano are the sweetest and cutest couple. Her wedding will be the first time, I will be out of the country. So, i leave tomorrow for this bridal shower. It is in Jersey city, so i guess I should just say I'm visiting Jersey, not New York. I still have to pack though. That may take a while. I have a hard time packing because i never know how to consolidate what i bring. It gonna be a packed schedule. So, I go to school in the morning. After school I have to get home right away to pack. I do believe I still have to go out and get some stuff before I actually leave. My mom is at work today and she had to pack tonight. I am going with my grandma, so we have to pick up my grandma and then pick my mom up from work. After that, we h

Props

Hey, long time no see. As it is getting closer to filming day, we needed to buy props. We didn't need that many props so it wasn't any issue. I went on Amazon to start the search. The only props we needed were the weapons in the film. I searched for little fake knives and guns. We decided it would be best to just use knives in the film. In our storyboard, the guy does have a gun. We decided we are going to change that for the actual film. I ended up finding the props i wanted to buy. I bought these fake knives and they came in a pack of four. They arrived yesterday and they are actually so cool. I didn't know this when i purchased them but they are retractable. When you "stab" with them they actually go in. I think this is going to look so good in out film. Especially for the end of the film (wink wink). Anyway, both if our characters are going to end up having knives instead of guns. We realized if we film in public, it may be a little concerning have a toy gun b

final dates planning

Hey blogger, I'm back! Let me tell you about our planning. We finally came up with a plan. So Isa, Brianna, Lauren and i have a groupchat. Yesterday we finally got to talking more about filming. There was a lot of issues but we finally figured out what we are going to do. I originally wanted to do it this week but we are all unfortunately too busy. The next day we came up with was the weekend. I am going to be away this weekend so that didn't work. I'm going to my cousins bridal shower! I am so excited for that. I am actually going to Italy for her wedding this summer. Anyway, going back to filming, the next day we came up with was Tuesday. That date was going to be all. We even had a ride to Isa's house. Unfortunately, Isa's boyfriend, who plays an important character in our film can't be there. He is really busy with school just like us. We couldn't do Tuesday or Thursday either unfortunately. Brianna and Isa have work every other day so we were stuck. Isa
