#71 Planning: Maybe extras aren't that bad ?


    Hey everyone, today I will be talking about how we will have some extra help from some other fellow A Level media studies kids that aren't from our class to help us out with our two trailers. 

    So… after looking over our script (if you’ve actually seen it), it’s pretty clear we can’t pull this whole thing off with just the people in our group. Like, we’re ambitious, but we’re not superheroes. Some scenes literally need extra hands, and honestly, that’s where our friends come in.

    Maddie was the first one to jump on the idea. She immediately started thinking about who we could bring in that would actually add something to the project instead of just standing around. That’s how she ended up recruiting Sebastian and Kelly, and honestly, they’re kind of perfect for what we need.

    Sebastian is one of those people who just naturally knows how to handle a camera. He’s super steady, he understands angles without overthinking it, and he’s just good at making shots look clean. It’s one thing to plan a shot on paper, but it’s another thing to have someone who can actually execute it without the camera shaking like we’re filming an earthquake. So having him around is going to make our lives so much easier.

    And then there’s Kelly. I swear, she’s basically an artist with makeup. She can make someone look creepy, tired, injured, mysterious, whatever we need. For our film, where the vibe is already kind of unsettling, having someone who can actually create that look instead of us trying to figure it out last minute is a lifesaver. She just gets it.

    Bringing them in makes the whole project feel more real, like we’re actually building something bigger than just a class assignment. It’s kind of exciting knowing we have people who want to help and who actually bring something unique to the table.

    We’re definitely going to talk more about this once we get closer to filming, because that’s when everything is going to get chaotic in the best way. So yeah… stay tuned, because this is just the beginning.
