So today My freinds Sarina Nico and Robbie came over to film the first few scenes of the film. We firstly filmed the scenes in the Office with Robbie and nico. Since Nico is very sigma with filming he brought his FX3 Camera and it just made everything very sigma looking. The filming inside the office went well and we filmed everything pretty quickly. Then we went to film the kitchen and the dining room scenes and conveniently that is when the Pizza arrived and we ate that. Then we went to my room and we filmed the going to sleep scene and the robbie beating up Nico scene.

Then we went downstairs and we filmed the scene of Robbie coming back with Sarina slapping him and did the dialouge. My assistant Cinematographer was Nico because he helped alot with filming and making the shots look good. I also took some photos of my cast so I can use it for the post card and social media.

I like this picture dont know what I will use it for
So I was not in town for spring break so I was unable to begin my production process for filming but I was able to start on making the props and starting out the social media page so Here is the first few posts I made for the social media. My first post was just a title of the movie to build anticipation for when the film will be released.
My second post would be the picture of the clock to show that everyone will eventually die and there is not a promising future for everyone just like jeremiah. The caption will be The clock doesn’t stop. Neither does the story.
I set up the filming locations being the office and the drug room.
For the office, I used my dad’s office. It already had a desk, computer, and office supplies, which made it easier to create a believable workspace. I focused on making it feel plain and boring to suit Jeranimo character better. I also made small adjustments to make it look like Jeronimo’s office instead of my dad’s. For example, I removed personal items that didn’t fit the character, I Added some papers and a name tag on the desk and Adjusted the lighting so it looked like late afternoon or sunset These changes helped the space feel neutral and repetitive, which matches the tone of his office life.
For the drug room, I used a room with a red couch. I wanted this space to feel messy and chaotic, which is the opposite of the office. I added things like, empty bottles, and a cluttered table The red couch itself gives the room a bold, intense color, which works well for creating a tense and uncontrolled vibe. I also adjusted the lighting to be darker and moodier, helping the audience feel that this space represents a dangerous or unhealthy part of Jeronimo’s life.
So basically for this blog I researched real postcards that are used to promote movies. Since I will be making a postcard with a front and back, I wanted to look at examples that already exist and see how they are designed and how they promote films.
One example I found was a promotional postcard set made for the movie Poor Things. These postcards were created using images taken directly from the film’s set and were printed to promote the movie’s release.
The front of the postcards mainly focused on bold images and interesting visuals from the movie. Because the film has a very unique visual style, the postcards used colorful and detailed images to attract attention.
For my own project, this example shows how important the main image on the front of the postcard is. It should immediately show the tone of the film and make people curious about it.
Another example I looked at was collectible postcards based on the movie Jaws. These postcards use iconic artwork from the movie, especially images of the shark and the ocean.
The design is very simple but effective. The front of the postcard shows a large dramatic image, while the back usually contains small text or space for writing. Some of these postcards are even sold as collectibles for movie fans.
What makes these postcards interesting is that they rely on one strong visual image that people immediately recognize. This makes the design very memorable.
For my project, I could use a similar idea by having the front of my postcard focus on Jeronimo, possibly showing him alone or in a cool moment that represents the story.
I changed Jeranimos name to Jeremiah because its easier to spell and i like the sounding of it more. Here are the first 4 pages of the script I think i am going to need another 5-6 pages of the story but anyways here are the first 4 enjoy.
