Reflection...

Creating 1% was a journey...

From the beginning of this project to the end I have extremely developed my production skills and learned how to create, produce, and distribute the film. Starting from creating the storyboard all the way to finding the specific element we could include as easter eggs, the beginning process developed my imagination and creativity to think outside of the book to make the film opening as realistic as possible. This came from the misc-en-scene elements such as the color blue representing sex-trafficking awareness, the National Human Trafficking awareness day being placed at the beginning of the opening, the pictures in the film representing the diversity of the victims, and the white clothing representing the innocence of the victims. When it came to location scouting and preparation I gained knowledge on the extensive research and preparation that goes into the film before the actual production. While filming I began understanding the time-extensive process of having every shot be perfect and the constant refilming when something does not come out as planned. I learned how to direct and place the image in my mind on the big screen. I entered a whole new world when it came to editing and learned how to produce different elements and edits such as the camcorder effects and the battery percentage. I never knew how time-extensive these processes are and how much behind the scenes work needs to be produced in order for the final film opening to be created.

Throughout this process, I have learned the ups and downs of working with others and the time it takes to create true art. I'm so glad that I was able to produce this work with a team that worked collaboratively and efficiently. 1% has taught me the behind the scenes work of creating a film and developing an idea into an actual project. Creativity was essential and I'm extremely glad that this project gave us the opportunity to expand our minds and learn so much about this process. There is no better feeling than watching the responses you wanted when showing someone your film opening. I'm extremely satisfied with the final project and hope that whoever sees it will be impacted by the true purpose of the film opening being created, which is to create awareness about sex-trafficking. 

It's finally here!

After weeks of hard work, I present to you....  1%

Thank you so much for coming along with me on this journey, I really hope you enjoy it :)

Preparation time!

We're at the final stretch of the project, finishing our final details for props and costumes so we can start filming! We decided that the more "home-made" props are the better, considering they will create a more realistic opening. After extensive research, we saw that in no way do sex-traffickers spend money while going through this malicious act. Their whole mindset is to gain profit to any extent, spending money is not an option. That is why we are going to use a broken down van and use duct tape as "name tags." We are also are going to use broken down tattoo machines and an old printer to get the right "cheap-aesthetic."

We got all of the girls photos and are ready to film!

It’s filning time and it’s getting late! We’re going to push through however and get it done. It’s been six hours of filming so far, I never thought it would take this long for a few minutes of film opening! Luckily, we are are all on the same page and want to have the best film opening as possible!

We finished filming and can’t wait to edit!

Nos, we’re starting to edit by watching different videos and websites that have information on how to get the cam recorder effect that we were looking for. Rendering the video is the longest process so far, it’s been taking over 2 hours to render our video and we’re not even done editing! Now after finishing we must render it again to export it, an even longer process. So tgere we were, sitting t Panera for 8 hours, eagerly waiting for the final result of our video to be produced! The time couldn’t go anyyyy slower! We were so excited to see it. When it came out we all jumped to our feet and started cheering, for our video was done.

As soon as we finished, I went straight home and asked my family to come over for a screening of my first film opening! They came over and started watching... my grandma began crying and everyone left with chills! The film opening was a complete success and I couldn’t be any happier! GO US!
