Planning CCR
Since I came up with my title yesterday and I have the design and everything, now I can move on to the Creative Critical Reflection.
I still don't have a clear idea about how I'm going to present it. I'm thinking about starting with a vlog just to create an introduction about myself and a background information about the film. Then I'd switch to show visuals, maybe an excerpt from the opening and then some images and screencasts of my editing process. I will figure out that later. But right now, these are the main points that I will be touching during my reflection:
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

But right now, these are the main points that I will be touching during my reflection:
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
- Challenge conventions of romantic movies.
- Love
- Necessity of a relationship
- Happy endings
- Contrast between Marcella and her friends and interviews
- Expectations
- Different representation of love
- More realistic
- Inclusion
- Different languages
- Different production to the others, therefore, more appealing
- Distribution
- Movie-theaters
- Social Media (Audience)
- Snapchat
- Spotify
- Valentine's Day (Genre)
How did your production skills develop throughout the project?
- Interview
- 2 shots, as equals
- Colors
- Choosing setting
- Colors
- Extreme Close-up
- Feelings/emotions
- Realism
How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware and online - in this project?
- Wondershare
- Vegas
- Movie Maker
- Own background
- Own logo
- Own title
So this will be my guide to writing my script this afternoon.
I believe that I will have everything by Sunday afternoon.

Where have all the Hearts gone?
Remember that in my last post I had 2 choices for my title?
- A true love story
- Accidentally in love
- Accidental love (I also had this one but as it's kind of similar to the second one, I didn't point it out).
But I also wrote that I rather have a title that doesn't include the word "love". So I continued looking, asking, researching, praying, begging.
Yesterday, I decided that I wanted something that involves sociology terms since that's Marcella's major and it can work as something symbolic in her career. So I came up with this quote and I thought about "simple, complex", then a friend suggested "simply complex".
The reason for this is that love is described as something simple in sociology. But, at the same time, it can be described as something complex because it "can represent so many different meanings and understandings: sexual love, intimate love, companionate love, romantic love, parental love, friendship love, inter-species love, love for places, belongings, views."
It could also work because Marcella sees herself as someone simple, different from other girls that feel the necessity of receiving flowers and chocolates every month; she just dislike that. But because of this, everyone else see her as someone complex and difficult to understand.
However, I felt that something was missing from that option. So I started to add more expressions, and the results were something like "Extraordinarily Simple, Incredibly Complex" and "Exceptionally Simple, Extraordinarily Complex". And for some unknown reason, I liked them. I like encrypted and long titles. But when I was trying to share these titles with my friends, I could not finish pronouncing them before my friends begin to laugh. And seriously, it was a BIG problem. I tried my best but my non-cute Venezuelan accent didn't help me. So I thought "If I can't pronounce my own title, then how am I going to be able to make it appealing to my audience?"
Anyways, in lunch, before my AICE Media Class, I annotated "Where Have All the Hearts Gone?" (I seriously don't remember where or how I found it, I just know that I had it in my notes). So I shared it with my mom and with one of my closest friends and they liked it. Then a friend told me that "hearts" is a weak word, so I started thinking about the meaning of that title, and I'm sorry, but I need to disagree with her.
I consider that words can have different meanings to different persons, and it's each individual who decides how much power a word or a sentence can have. For example, when I hear the word Freedom I think about my country, Venezuela, and all the Human Rights violations that the government is committing against it own people. But when an American think about Freedom, he thinks about the natural freedom that his government provides for them, he will not question if he has freedom, he just knows he has.
So, maybe hearts is a weak word for her but for me, it represents and conveys a strong symbolism in my movie. I'll try to explain my point so you can understand me.
People tend to draw doodles in class when they're bored, right? Girls usually draw hearts, stars, and cartoons. Nevertheless, since Marcella is not that kind of romantic girl, she doesn't draw hearts. But, at the climax of the movie. when she meets this guy and they connect and share so many things and... love happens, she will start drawing hearts and more romantic things in her notebooks.
Doodles that Marcella would usually do. |
Doodles that Marcella would do when she falls in love. |
Not this cheesy and girly, but it's jut to show you an example.
So she falls in love with him, let's call him Daniel, and she also starts making little designs with his name and hearts.
But remember, Daniel is going to hurt her and he's going to break her heart, right? So, when this happens, she's going to stop drawing hearts in her notes. But instead, she's going to write encouraging quotes, like this:
Somedays you just have to create your own sunshine. |
Not one of my best but I tried. |
So, I decided to use her "doodles" and her "hearts" as something symbolic in the film. They're going to represent the journey of relationships and all of Marcella's transformation. And I think that the way I made the credits in the opening are a way to introduce and support this idea.
Finally, may I present to you my nice and super appealing movie title:
Since I didn't like the fonts that my editor was providing, a friend suggested to use DaFont and see if I like any of the fonts that they have. Then I borrowed her computer so I could use her editor to choose the colors that I'd like to use. The red in the "hearts" highlights its symbolism and reinstates the passion and romance genre of the movie.
So Where Have all the Hearts Gone?
The truth is that they never left, they're still present in each individual. They are in every person that decides to love himself first, and then the others. Those persons that think that they're valuable and important. Those who are fighting for their dreams, those who are in the pursuit of Freedom, and those who perform an action to improve the quality of the world.
Chao, Chao!

Insert some nice and super appealing title
Yesterday I wrote that the only things remaining on my project were the title and the Critical Reflection. My deadline for the title is tomorrow, so then I can work on the Critical Reflection from Wednesday until Friday.
Since I was struggling with coming up with the perfect title for my production, I decided to do a little research.
According to this article called "Top Ten Tips for Titling Your Movie", one must consider these 10 tips when coming up with a good and appealing title:
1. The shorter the better.
2. The title should hint at the genre of the film.
3. The title is a sales tool designed to get people to read the script, rent the film or ask for more information. It is NOT an artistic statement (think more craft than art).
4. More often than not, your title will be accompanied by a short pitch or key artwork.
5. You will NEVER be 100% happy with the title. It always feels like a bit of a compromise. And why shouldn’t it? You are reducing 100 pages of story to a single word of phrase.
6. Once you decide on a title, if a better one comes along, use it.
7. Check the titles ‘Goolgeability’ with the Google keyword tool. How many people actively search for that word of phrase each month? These metrics are important.
8. Don’t be clever. Titles are not something to be figured out. As filmmakers, we might like the idea of a title being a mystery or ephemeral, but audiences will just move right on by if they don’t ‘get it’ immediately.
9. The title should infer the central conflict of the film.
10. Above all, ‘do what it says on the tin’. The title should honestly and succinctly reflect the story.
My film's genre is obviously Romance, so it should be related to love, feelings, and/or emotions.
I started thinking about titles that would involve the word "love" in them. But then a friend said to me: "Your movie is different, right? So why would you want a common title?" and I need to admit that she's right. BUT, I also need to think about my audience, which is Young Adults. Therefore, I need to have in mind tips 3 and 8. I'm trying to sell my movie to people by providing the opening and the title of the film, therefore, I'm trying to do a little of marketing here and to do perform it, I need to understand my audience behavior and preferences. So if we go back to tip 7, I went to Google trends and the word "love" has a high interest in the search.
Related searches |
Interest over time |
So I'm a little bit stuck with I should or I should not. But in any case, my options at this moment are:
• A true love story: the movie is all about portraying love as it really is and not as conventional films want the audience to believe, Therefore, it's going to show that some people gets hurt and some people succeed in love. However, every person is a capable human being that doesn't need to spend all his life in the pursuit of love.
• Accidentally in love: Marcella didn't want to fall in love, but because of coincidences, she meets this boy that is really nice and eventually he starts getting feelings for him.
Nevertheless, I need to remark that I'm not delighted with these choices... I'd rather find some other title that wouldn't have the word "love" in them. Because that's the idea of this project, to create something unique and different, and that's what I intended to do with the film. So, why should it be different now with the tile? I must come up with something that leaves my signature on it.
However, that's as far as my creativity gets at 11 pm.
I'm going to keep working on it tonight and tomorrow morning. Hopefully, I will have the design by tomorrow afternoon so I can start thinking about my reflection.
*creativity come to me in my sleep*

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Even though I finished the filming yesterday, I still needed to do the credits part.
As I wrote in my post with the Storyboard, I wanted to do my credits hand-written with sticky notes, Post-it, and school supplies. I also wanted this scene to serve as a background information about Marcella; that's why I took the time to do these notes about Sociology:
Because of their neatness and order, the annotations reflect that Marcella is an organized and responsible person that loves what she's doing as a major.
I also did this paper to illustrate her name and the university where she studies.
It's awful, I know, but it only appears a millisecond.
This is my workplace.
I had to place some cardboards on the table because of the glass.
I started doing it as a time-lapse, but it was so fast, so I couldn't read my actors' name. I really struggled for 1 hour trying to figure out an app that wouldn't be so fast. I even passed those videos to the computer and tried to decrease the speed, but it was pointless.
So at the end, I filmed a normal video and I just increased its speed from the computer,
When I finished all my trials I ended up with this quantity of wasted paper. I was crying inside me because I've always HATED wasting paper, I usually try my best to recycle every kind of paper, even if it's super tiny or if it's all torn, (really, my mom mocks me sometimes).
However, this time, I wasn't able to do that, you can't really recycle post-it. So yes, I had to throw them away against my will.

BUT the important thing is that after all my suffering with the speed and the Post-it, I finished editing my video, and I wish you could imagine my joy and satisfaction at this time, 12:20 am.
I know that I'm going to continue editing in the week, especially because I'm going to show it to my actors to hear their CONSTRUCTIVE opinions. But at least, I have all my videos in a single place and I have a tangent thing about the vision I had 2 weeks ago.
My problem right now is my title. I haven't come up with a good, appealing title. I even did my research, but my creativity has been extinct this weekend. But I'll do another post tomorrow to talk about it.
The most important thing is, now I can move on to my Critical Reflection and I'm confident that I'll have everything ready for next Sunday.
Seriously guys, you can't imagine the level of happiness I have right now.

#FINISHED
Today I finished filming the main scene from the film opening *tears of joy*, which is the scene with Marcella and her best friend.
So... may I present to you, Marcella (Isabella Armas-León):
Marcella, the protagonist |
and her best friend, Racquel:
Racquel |
We filmed in a little forest that Isa had near her house; this was the location that I wanted since it establishes a character background for Marcella (unfortunately I didn't remember to take a picture of it)
I need to admit that it wasn't as easy as I expected. My main plan was to make a zoom out from Marcella's phone showing that she's watching the interview, but because of the sun and the reflection of the phone on the screen, it was really hard. I also struggled to take the shots since I didn't have a tripod and my hand (without knowing why) was shaking so much.
But actually, I'm satisfied that I finished filming. Now I can devote to editing in the remainder of the weekend so I can make the Critical Reflection next week.
I'll post any other update.
Chao, Chao!

This is what is happening
TODAY was a really good day for my video.
As I wrote in my previous post, I filmed the other option for my main interview this morning, and it was GREAT!
At first, the couple and I had a little trouble coming up with the script since, apparently, they've never had any big problem in their relationship. Also, they were a little bit nervous of course and when we started filming, their words weren't coming out natural. But eventually, they thought about an obstacle and we all knew how to manage their nervousness. So at the end, they were speaking freely and I could easily feel the connection between them.
This is a picture of the video, so you can see my little "actors":
Andrea y Santiago, 1 year together |
I'm going to talk a little bit about mise-en-scene here. For the interviews, I wasn't really specific with the costume and setting selection. The reason of this is because the interviews are Marcella's friend project, therefore, they shouldn't look that professional because he's not in a Media Class (poor him). Also, Andrea's messy hair and lack of makeup express her personality and at the same time, provides naturality to the video.
By the way:
This interview is in Spanish (I'm going to put subtitles, no panic). I did this because Marcella was born in Venezuela and this can show a little bit about her background. The switch of languages is something that no one is going to expect in the film opening. I believe (and hope) that is an element that is going to make the production stand out since it adds something different to the film since there's going to be a diversity of culture and traditions that are going to be seen through the interviews and the actors.
Now on my checklist, I'm only missing Marcella's scene and the last interview, which is getting harder since I can't find another couple.
This gets more exciting and stressful as time goes by. I'm really looking forward to start editing and give shape to all of this isolated videos, but at the same time I have so many things to do for my other classes that I really need to manage my time.
Two more days until the weekend! Hopefully, I'll come up with everything.
Chao, Chao!

FINALLY
As expected, I started filming this week!
I filmed the interview scenes first because they don't need so much effort and they can be filmed in school.
Remember that I want to put many videos on the screen and then click on one that will be the last scene of the movie? Well, these are some of those interviews:
Macarena and Carlos, 7 months together
Miguel and Valentina, 11 months together.
Juan and Eugenia, 2 months together.
Letty and Philip, 10 months together.
Oh, and I need to emphasize that all these couples are real couples. I took the time to look for real couples and ask them for help because the connection that they have been easily perceived in camera, is something that flows naturally and that they don't have to force.
After this, I made a trial for the screen thing and, even though is going to have more interviews and the video apps will not be shown, this is the idea:
I also filmed the main interview yesterday, the one that goes at the beginning of the film. But, since my friends are not a real couple, I don't see it real, I really feel that there's a spark missing in that scene. So tomorrow, I'm going to film a real couple and I'll see which one is better.
I'll keep you informed.
Chao, Chao!

Rocemi Films
Rocemi stands for Rogelio, Celeste and Milagros, the names of my brother, my mother, and mine. I decided to use that as the production company because I wanted to add something personal to the project.
So on Thursday, I decided to make the presentation for my film company, so I researched differents movie studios and film distributors logos:
All of the presentations are composed of a logo, a text, and a feature music that are made in a way that each element is easily recognizable by the viewer. And obviously, every and each one of the companies has an amazing presentation which I seriously think that is really hard to do since I'm basically a beginner in the animation world.
I also watched this collection of Walt Disney Picture Logos just because I think that is interesting to see how much Disney logos have changed over the years as the technology evolves, and how they adapt their introductions to each of the movies they present.
So I started to look for programs to make my intro. The first one I found is Animaker. After 3 hours of figuring out how the program works and what I wanted to do, I came up with this:
I was really proud of myself because I added some good animations and the fonts connected with the tone of the film since the Rocemi is typed with a stylish and girly style.
BUT when I finished everything and I was ready to download it, this happened:
And since I'm totally against paying $12 just for a 5 seconds video, and because I was confident that there are million of other programs that provide the same tools for free, I closed my this website and I continued looking for others.
So I downloaded this one called Movavi. It really has really nice tools and animations that I could use. So just as a trial to see if I could download the video for free, I created this piece. I was super excited because I could download it for free, but when I opened the video later, I got disappointed:
(You can imagine my face when I watched it)
So I continue my search for an app that could provide me what I needed. Surprisingly for me, every program or website that I could found, didn't have the effects that I was looking for or I had to pay $50 just to download it.
At the end, I came by with Moovly and FINALLY I could make a video without having to pay.
But for some reason, I don't like it enough. I consider that is missing something, although I don't know what; or maybe I just want the video that I did with Animaker. Who knows?
At this point, my brain has exploded 3 times and I still don't have the intro that I want. So I went back to my research, and I found this article called '65 expert logo design tips' which is a really nice and complete article that, by providing examples of famous logos, it provides all the steps that a designer must follow to compose an appropriate emblem.
Among all the 65 tips, this one is one that I really found interesting since I would never guess that a grid may be useful for the layout of a design. So I followed the advice and I draw a couple of sketches in one grid:
I kept the idea from the 3 logos on the top so I digitalized them with Pixlr Editor. I don't know what I was trying to do when I was doing the sketches with the pencil but thankfully I also did the sketches with the provided fonts. When I finished, I decided to go with the design on the bottom.
With the concept of my logo already made, I decided that since I couldn't found a program that could satisfy my necessities, I would do it on my own.
Now, was time to come up with my background, which I created with Background Image Generator.
Now that I had all the elements that I needed, I needed a program to put all these elements together and compose my introduction. I remembered that my teacher from Venezuela used to work with Sony Vegas PRO 13.0, so I downloaded it. I added the logo over the background with the Rocemi Films text and a couple of basic animations. Although I'm still missing the music, I'm very proud and satisfy with the work I did here.
Lastly, after working 3 days on this, I'm very tired. I never could've to imagine that only the intro for my studio company could take me that long. If this is the way it's going to be when it comes the time to edit my video, I don't know how I'm going to survive.
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed doing my own work because the reward is so much greater than if a program does it for you. I hope that I maintain this same idea when I make my film so I don't struggle that much with it.
I'm positive that I'll start with the filming next week since classes will begin again and everyone will come back to Weston.

Storyboard
Since I can't film yet, I decided to do something that I should've done before, my storyboard.
The first scene will be the main interview to a couple that will answer to the questions stated in the following index card.
The camera will start to zoom out to show that the interview is being seen from a laptop. This will be the beginning of the second scene. The purpose of this scene is to introduce the character of Marcella.
This scene will fade to black to the 3rd scene, which is the introduction of the movie. The chosen song "Love someone" by Jason Mraz will play here.
In this scene, the intention is to introduce Marcella's personality and her environment. She's an organized person so she makes annotations in index cards and post-it.
The last shot is a close-up of stickers and papers from the University of California, Berkeley to establish that's where Marcella studies. I chose that university because it is among the top sociology colleges in the country, having a "sociology program that typically ranks among the top programs in the country".
When I decide which my title will be, I'll have a better idea of how I will incorporate it into this scene.
I believe that this will make 2 minutes.
I'm so sorry for the quality of my drawings, I tried my best, but still they're not a masterpiece.
Chao, Chao!

Disappointed
Today I was supposed to film the interview scenes. I asked my friend Larissa to participate in the project and to call one of her friends to be her boyfriend in the movie and she said yes; I was super excited. I prepared everything: the location, the camera, and the script.
For some reason, I knew that the guy wouldn't go, so Larissa and I started to look through our contacts on our smartphones to check if anyone could help us. We texted every close friend, but they all said no, because they either are out of town, sick, or are super camera shy and don't like to appear in films, so they can't act even for 5 seconds. Apparently everyone has a better social life than us, and no one is available to help me.
Anyways, we were supposed to film at 6:00 pm with Larissa's friend and at 7:00 pm he let us know that he went to the beach so he couldn't do it (thanks, buddy) . As you can imagine I was pretty angry with the guy because of his irresponsibility.
I seriously wanted to start filming today so everything else would flow easier. I wanted to make the first step of the beginning of the project, to feel that it is actually something concrete. But no, friends can't help other friends even if they're begging.
Tomorrow I'll meet with Larissa again and with Isabella to see what we can do and if any other friends can help. If we don't find a solution, I guess I'll have to wait until Spring Break is over and everyone comes back to Weston.
I'll just keep hoping that everything happens for a reason and that the Universe is working with me and for me so I can find the correct actors (be positive, Cele).
Conclusion:
- Don't rely on friends for your personal stuff.
- Weston is not a really fun place.
Chao, Chao!

Musicalizing
I decided that I'm not going to put live music in my film opening since the main scene and the interview don't need background songs. Nevertheless, since these two elements are not going to make 2 minutes, I'm going to do a little intro to the theme of the movie, which will need music.
My first options were:
- Don't panic (Instrumental) - Coldplay
- I need this more than you know - Chase Coy
- Lego house - Ed Sheeran
- Life in technicolor (Instrumental) - Coldplay
- Love someone - Jason Mraz
So I decided for a song in English and a song in Spanish:
Love someone - Jason Mraz and Ojos color sol - Calle 13
I'm going to use the one that I receive permission first.
