CR

  The product represents the issue of mental illness. It shows what people can experience if they have schizophrenia. Like hearing voices that aren't there. Mental illness in media is normally portrayed as hurtful thing. As something that normally makes someone a villain when in reality they just need help. That stigma is insanely hurtful for people that deal with serious mental illness. As someone who has a parent that deals with schizophrenia, I've seen it first hand. The person can’t differentiate their reality from the false one. They’re both existing at the same time. They can’t trust their own eyes, brain, or ears. While mental illness is a scary thing to watch someone go through. You can only imagine how scary it is for the person who's experiencing it. Some people have to experience the side effects of mental illness for years before they’re eligible to be diagnosed. Like Borderline Personality Disorder is only able to be diagnosed after the age of 18. While other m

Ran into some problems

Image
 Hello and welcome back! i have some news for you all. While editing we ran into our problems. So the group decided that we missed some vital scenes within the film. Most of the scenes are finished, but some of the scenes that were shot didn't fit with the plot. Now there's already been some reshoots, but problems were ran into with that also. As you all know, there has been a lot of scding conflicts within the group. But we did what we could. Me and Franchesca took on the role and redid a scene without Omina as the main character. Originally it was Omnia's character meeting up with Franchesca's, but Omnia was unavavible to film. So, it was switched to Franchesca's character getting stood up by Omnia's character. I'm actually very happy with how the filming itself turned out. There was a lot of cool shots that were done. Franchesca's acting was also surprisingly good, especially because she was so worried about how her acting was going to turn out. There

Start of editing

Image
 Hello and welcome back everyone. The editing has began. The editing has been split between the group. I'm going the beginning of the film, Franchesca is doing the middle and Omnia is doing the end of the film. I'm going to be the one responsible for a lot of the titles. Which i' not going to lie im worried about. While i have edited before, i haven't done title editing. So, this will be my first time doing it. I'm hoping it's not going to be that hard. We shall see. Hopefully i won't be too rusty. The editing other then that shouldn't be that hard, i just have to make sure it follows with the other parts that are being edited. The group has to have a discussion about the editing style that's going to be used. Also a discussion about what music is going to be used is needed. There's a distinct idea of what type of music is going to be used. It's just finding the royalty free music that fits will be a little harder. I'm likely going to use

Done with filming

Image
 Hello everyone welcome back! I'm very glad to say the filming has been finished for Bedlam. More filming was done throughout the week for last scenes we needed. Now i don't know for sure if the filming is officially finished, because editing hasn't started so i have no idea how everything will look when it's all done. If more filming has to be done then so be it. The last filming that was done was at Fransheca's house. The group wanted a scene at a psych ward and obviously weren't able to go to one and film. So some improvising was done. I had to be very careful when filming in the room because the room had to be bare. A lot of stuff had to be moved around. It worked a lot better than expected and was definitely the best choice out of all our bedrooms. Mine was already used in the production, and i have way too many posters and random things on my wall. Omnia's room is also pretty lively too. Fransheca's room has white and grey walls. Which worked very

two locations down

Image
 Hello everyone and welcome back! i've been very busy lately. More filming was done this week, so we're almost done. One of the places we were going to film was a cafe. It took two tries to find one that would let us film though. The first place we tried was actually my workplace and they didn't let us. Was messed up right? I get it though, my cafe is very busy and people may get in the shots that don't want to be in them. It's all about consent and everything. But, the place we filmed was better than my cafe. A lot quieter and it has different rooms, so we just stuck to one place. We of course asked for permission and got food. I had the best latte ever also. Will definitely be back again for more. The scenes were done pretty smoothly, except that one waiter got in the shot. It was okay though and they apologized profusely. Was a little awkward, but it was pretty funny. After the cafe scenes were done the group went to a mall near by. When filming there the group h

small bits of filming

Image
 Hello and welcome back everyone! i hope you've all been doing well. I've been doing pretty good myself i can't lie. I do have to say though that filming has been very hard. As i've mentioned everyone within the group is very busy. Its definitely been getting in the way of filming. A little bit of filming was done eaalier this week. It was done at my house before anyway went to work. So it was only around 30 seconds that was done. It was mainly because the shots that were filmed were very hard to do. It was text messages from a phone, which meant very little light could be used. You know that glare is crazy. It had to be even darker though, because it was supposed to mimic night-time. Even though it was like 3 P.M. All the blinds and doors had to be closed to have this effect. I'm lucky that i have a bush in front of my room which helps with getting my room dark. My blinds are also almost blackout. So it mimicked pretty well. Only the texting scene was finished thou
