Blog #1

Hi my name is Camila Reyes Londoño and in the following blog you will get informed of the fantastic process making this film has been, if you are interested in getting informed of all the ideas, problems, fights and different discussions making a film takes, you better keep reading! in order for this film to take place you had to join a group of four people, this was a very tough decision because in a film every single person plays a very important role. with this being said we finally came up with a group of four girls: Manuela Uribe, Laura Valdivieso, Maria Gonzalez and me (Camila Reyes). We found that each one of us is good doing something and if we all join our strengths and try to overcome our weaknesses we will get a fantastic film. besides this we found that all of us have a strength in common and that one is that we are have the same art in the MYP and that art is Drama Class, we have been 1 year and a half in this drama class, and in that year and a half our acting and public speaking has got much better, having skills that is very difficult to get in another Art. In addition, in drama class we not only learn how to act, but we learn about different acting techniques and different roles acting and filming takes. for example our last summative assessment was a project proposal which consisted on looking at your strengths and weaknesses in order to be a director of a scene which will be preformed in theatre class. I think all this tools are going to be very useful when starting filming, because it is key to keep en mind the importance of each role such as: director, sound engineering, producer and editor. When we became a group, we though that it was very important to listen the idea of every group member, so we decided to take a white paper and brainstorm all of our ideas we had three main ideas which consisted on the following:

1. Pregnancy: this idea consisted on a wild night, a 16 year old teenager goes to a party where there is a lot of alcohol and after a lot of drinking, she wakes up the next morning and dosent remember a single thing about last night, after 2 months she notices something weird, her period hasn't arrived so she decides to do a pregnancy test to dismiss the possibility for her to be waiting for a baby; she finds out she is pregnant, with this unexpected surprise and looking at all the problems a baby will bring to her life in this stage (she is still in school, lives with her parents...etc) she decides to abort besides this she dosen't know who the father is...it is all a mystery. Should we blame alcohol?

2. Revenge: The past of a girl, bring her back to the city where she has lived all her childhood. She comes back to give some revenge to those girls who in the past makes her INFANCIA so difficult. After doing a master plan she founds secrets about each of her enemies that make revenge even spicier. This girl want to "keep her friend close, and her enemies closer" in order to make them feel what she felt.

3. The unrevealed: A girl runs with the luck to win a scholarship to one of the best schools from all the country, she comes from a poor family and enters an atmosphere full of people surrounded by lots of money and material things, in order for her to fit in the society she has to pretend something she is not. She tries to show her friends she is like one of them, when she is not really. As the film advances her friends start getting closer to her, they start spending a lot of time together and they all build an amazing friendship, full of secrets and lies. Unfortunately an accident revels the truth, and the group of friends finally notice the real life this girl has to live, the girls accept her as she is and this friendship gets even stronger.
