.MOV Film Festival



Hey guys! I'm back with a new project we're doing and guess what!?! We're participating in the .MOV Film Festival, how great is that! Anyways, my teammates are Denae, Ashley and Jhoanna. Our film is titled "Jhoanna Discovers Personalities." To make you understand our concept, I will give you guys some keywords we are using. Personality, friends, yourself, adventuring and together. You may ask, "Kyla what? I don't get AnYtHiNg" well you see, our film is about a girl moving into a new neighborhood and has struggle on making friends. She decides to be another person that she isn't then realizes it's better to be yourself than to be someone you aren't. That's where personalities, yourself and friends takes place. They all go in the category of being yourself and being yourself gives you friends that accept you for who you are. Adventuring and together will make more sense because it's about our film. Adventuring into Jhoanna's mind to see her personalities (yup, if you guys are thinking yes. This is inspired by Inside Out.) Together, as the personalities come together to make Jhoanna. A weird, clumsy and overdramatic person. Some people would realize how deep one word can go and some wouldn't. We want you guys to realize by one word, you'd realize something. Some deep thinkers out there, you'll get it if you also watch our soap opera.

If you guys are wondering, "What's your message?" Let me tell you. Our message is to be yourself no matter what. Don't try changing who you are because it won't do any good. We can easily change who we are, but do we like how we turned out? Do we miss our old self? Do we want to turn back time when everything was normal? For being ourself, we create tons of memories. Fun and bad ones but we always look toward fun ones. Being someone else, it's hard to make memories since well, you're someone else. You're not your old self, some people out there that changed wants to go back to the times they didn't. Trust me, being yourself is better than being someone who you aren't. Some people might think, everything will change you throughout your life, You'd change for the better. Some might be true but there's a part of your old self that sticks with you forever. Your friends will notice how you change, even the littlest things they will notice and sometimes they want you to be your old self. Me, I became sassy last year. Like REAL sassy and my friends noticed that and every time I get sassy they tell me, "Kyla what happened to you? Why are you so sassy?" and most of the time "We want the old Kyla back, the non-sassy Kyla." Honestly, me as well wanted the non-sassy Kyla but new year starts. A huge part of my sassiness was left in 2015 and that's good. I'm back to being my old self but more weird and crazy but still are my traits. It just kinda grew since you know, it's me.

For now, the biggest challenge that my team has faced is trying to make Spencer, Duke & Kaimana work with us. No, they aren't part of our team but they are part of our film. They're the group of friends that doesn't accept Jhoanna for being so bland and boring. By the end, Duke disappeared and we had to film only with Spencer and Kaimana. It took long for then to act right and stop fooling around and to stop laughing and to take their part seriously. Spencer, the hard-headed one made us have a hard time for the first couple minutes we decided to start filming. He'll talk, tell us he'll stay there while we're filming, play his guitar on the background and he finally left to go do his work. We were productive on filming even if the people that are acting in our film was hard to film with. Jhoanna had a hard time to deal with Spencer and Kaimana since she didn't know them and that they don't even speak to each other. She kinda refused to act with them which was kinda stressful especially that she's the main character and she needs to act with other people. Now we're facing a problem which is filming the rest of the parts of the scenes we need. Only about 2 parts and that's all and the rest if foley. I know we can do it and it won't be hard for us if we work together, it's just a quick maybe an hour or less filming then we're all done and all we need to do is editing. Our editing is going good, it's funny to me, I hope others find it funny also.
