Also "#table talk" is a popular You-Tube challenge that was shown briefly on the computer screen which we used to transition into our You-Tube montage.

EGO Title Ideas

Below are some title ideas for our film. After all voting we decided we liked the first one the best. The title is simple and shows off the mask in the "O" which we thought was cool and creative.

Editing

This past week I went through all the shots we took and selected the ones that would work the best for the film. I enjoyed this process and can't wait to see how the final product will turn out!

Filming/Camera

Last week we did our filming on a Canon EOS T3I which is an easy to use camera that helped us create our masterpiece. With good zooming and the ability to do a focus pull allowed us to create different techniques. 

Below are some screen shots from the opening scene of our film. We used a focus pull of Frankie waking up in the morning and then some panning shots of his room that showed off his desk with the mask on it. We are in the process now of choosing which clips we like the best and can start to edit.

Mask used in the film

For Frankie's mask(main character) used in the film, two of my group members decided to each make a completely different mask and then all vote on which one to use.

The red mask below was made with paint and fabrics which created a simple but fierce look.

The other mask was made out of paper machete, cardboard, and green and black spray paint. It had was simple, fun, and had cartoon look which helped gained popularity.

When we filmed we decided to go with the second choice since it was bright, fun, and goofy just like the secret life of Frankie. The mask helped shape our character as he was a quiet nerd on the outside but on the inside he was a fun, popular You Tube sensation.  The mask itself is very simple with a tiny smirk to the side and hardly any details. This helped create suspense as to who is under the mask.

Film Schedule/ Approval for Song Opening

   Me and my group starting planning and outline of when we will start filming since we are already three weeks into the project. Our two main shooting locations is in the kid's bedroom for the morning scene, and also our school Cypress Bay to get shots of our main character Frankie Gibson being bullied showing an inside to his daily life.
