Getting Ready for the Film

Image
 As we are about to start the filming days, I have planned ahead determining factors of how the film will look like. From clothing, angles, personel, etc. Because this film is set during the modern days, it will make the work easier too (clothing). Clothing As already mentioned, clothing will be simple. I'm not going to try to find a costume, as the character in the film is supposed to be a normal person on the edge of breaking mentally. I could probably use somewhat teared clothes, but it would be hard to find something I can afford tearing apart. That being said, anyone with a broken mental state could either be wealthy, poor, or average, so it did not matter as much at the end of the day. Camera angles and Movement     Camera angles were simple to think of as well, I wanted the character to be something the viewers could get to partially learned, so I would want the character to be fully visible, meaning I've gone for hand-held wide-angle shots. I wanted the character ...

 There are many processes to beginning to make a film. There are many things out that need to be planned and so I have planned out dialogue, casting, locations, and lastly, schedules. I have planned the different approach methods to my film based on a rubric, and I'm ready to blog some of that progress.

"He was trialed, sentenced, and his sentence was anything but short. 20 years of prison, probably enough to kill him of age before I ever see him again..." "Everyone viciously pointed at him the days leaving to his imprison, and everyone slowly began to turn their backs...

  Storyboarding   Storyboarding has been a fun concept that I have enjoyed bringing to live and visualizing on a paper. It has changed some of my ideas for the better, and it has also given me more ideas (one being the second) which could be implemented into an actual project. Thanks to storyboarding I feel now much more comfortable with my project, and I am very excited to try to give birth to this scene, even though it may propose difficulty in a world suffering from a pandemic. There have been other issues I have faced with storyboarding. One being a way to give visual representation to the shots described in each column. I feel like my art ‘skills’ just simply don’t do enough justice to the work. That asides, I did enjoy still drawing the images, even if I were struggling, and gave me a clear image of how I would visualize the movie instead of just picturing it. Drawing was one element I enjoyed in the storyboard, but another one could be considered the shots, angl...
