Instagram posts so far

(first post)

 Since we finished filming, we decided to move onto instagram as well as the post card. We are also working on the editing of the film but I’ll discuss that in greater detail in the next post. Let's start off with Instagram. Me and Adriana have been brainstorming ideas on what we should post since the 30 posts that we have to do. In the first post we decided to have me holding a penny but in pixelated form, looking like a character from an 80s video game. We decided for this to be our first post because it helps us establish a theme, that being the pixelated 80s game one. We also decided to do that same thing but for the rest of the actors helping us reach that goal a lot faster.

Alongside this we also decided to dedicate 3 posts that contain the title card of the film. For example one of three posts would be one part of the title card, the other one would be the middle portion of it and the last one would obviously be the rest of it. We are also planning on pinning those three posts in order for the unity to not be disrupted from the other posts. Another post that we decided was to include a blooper from one of the scenes in Brickell posting it with hashtags in order to gain more traction leading to a wide spectrum of individuals viewing the video. 

One post that I thought was genius from Adriana was the one about merch, selling merch that looks like the hoodie that I’m wearing. The post includes indications that showcase that the hoodie is limited edition, which can lead to customers wanting the hoodie more since the hoodie might never come back. A thing I forgot to mention was that the same first post is also the profile picture for the instagram account. It was just too good of a picture to just use one time. 

 

We still have many insta posts to do but it should be fun, see you guys later BYEEE!!!!

Filming in Brickell and the Everglades

 

(Mr MIgue)

We have officially finished filming EVERYTHINGGGG, now time for the very annoying part editing. But before that let me tell you guys about how both days went. Lets start off with the everglades first, we needed an actor so I called in one of my good buddies Migue to help us film. He played a tourist who was trying to get the perfect picture to send back home but couldn't get the right angle, that's where I show up and try to help but obviously I mess it up (part of storyline) dropping the phone. Overall filming went smoothly. We used a variety of shots and retook a lot of them due to some people laughing. I’m not going to say any names cough cough Migue. Only issue we faced was trying to figure out where in the park to film as well as the main actor almost DYING FROM THE HEAT, I still don’t know why I decided wearing a HOODIE and JEANS was a good idea, I could’ve just worn a red shirt but it’s whatever I DONT HAVE TO WEAR THAT ANYMORE. 

As for Brickell, I was really excited mainly because it gave me an excuse to go to Miami. Adriana my partner brought two of her friends because we needed to film two scenes, one being obviously in Brickell City Center and the other being in “cuba” wink wink, in reality it was just a random street next to the marlins stadium. The reason why is we initially wanted to film in front of the stadium however there was an event going on and guess how much the parking was. If you said 15 your wrong, THE PARKING WAS LITERALLY $30, you're crazy if you think im spending 30 of my well earned money on parking for 10 minutes. 

Anywho going back to the City Center, filming was a little more complicated due to the sheer amount of tourists especially in front of the famous walls of the buildings. However we managed and filmed my scene with no issue, well breaking character was one of them. I can admit I was the culprit. As for filming in the so called Cuba we basically were driving around the stadium and found a house that looked exactly like one found in cuba with a chicken and decided it was the perfect spot to film. Unfortunately once we were about to start filming the chicken left, but we filmed it, made us cringe a bit but we pushed through and BOOM last scene done. 

I can FINALLYYY get a haircut. It's been SO annoying not being able to like my hair is actually turning into an afro, so this tuesday I will be looking fresh for the submission of the project. I keep updating you guys on the process BYEEE!!
