 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. Dialogue The dialogue was the most entertaining part, as It gives the film director a taste of what their future work will be like. I have written a page worth of dialogue notes, and here is what it looks like:      "This is how everything began. All he needed was to make the dumb mistake of driving while drunk.. The fool completely crashed into another car, and a poor kid did not make it..." "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...

After presenting my film and receiving feedback on the project, the idea for the film has sprouted a lot, allowing for changes to be made for the better. Thanks to this, not only does the film have a name, characters, but a thought out story that would allow for an easy flow of events. The film A Familiar one (originally called Familiar , but changed due to the name being taken), has been given a preliminary layout to have everything thought of. As for the opening title scene, I have the perfect idea. The movie is now revolved around Anderson, a mentally ill person who really loves his father, his father was put on jail after accidentally killing someone in a car accident due to sleep deprivation. Because Anderson struggles to comprehend life the way other people do, he wants to avenger his father by putting everyone who hurt him or anyone who was against him or Anderson. The title opening scene would be different cutscenes of the events, from accident, all the way to court and jail, s...

  With the presentation of my film idea to my classmates and my teacher, I haven't seen many conflicting comments on the feedback asides from a few confused questions listed and answered below. With the lack of disagreement, and my interest on the film idea as a whole, I believe that my vision/projection of this project has received little to no change based on the feedback, with the only changes being changes to polish the film. After being able to present publicly what I am working on, I am in fact much more motivated to work on the title scene opening project now, as it would be a simulation, or similar feeling to actually getting out there into the world a majestic movie to be remembered in the cinema.

Creativity & Genre     It is safe to say that today's world is shaped thanks to the creative minds that our generations have had over the years and still do. From the invention of the wheel, to the invention of virtual reality (VR), creativity has always, and will always be what sparks the exciting idea, and what shapes the whole thing. This is also true in the world of media and magazines, and inevitably, part of my idea as well.     First we need to understand why or how does creativity develop in our lives, which is what leads to these ideas. The truth is, that creativity is majorly a part of us even before we know or even if we think otherwise, a study conducted and presented on Ted Talks, Ted x Auk, shows that as a matter of fact, people are generally intended to believe they are not creative, because they don't really think about it in-depth or just answer very generally (as shown by a study which asks numerous people what do they plan on doing later on the...

To Team or Not to Team         You either hate to work with other people or love to work with other people, everyone prefers one of the two more than the other, it can vary from multiple reasons such as personal standards like personality traits or personal benefits. Personally, I have chosen to work independently. I have many reasons as to why I prefer to work independently, that being said, it is possible and I must admit that I may be subject to require at least some sort of "interaction" with someone else at one point, at the very least to straighten up any curves and then go back to being fully independent. After all, I'm only human.         One of the major reasons as to why I am choosing to be independent over working with a group is the fact that I am simply more introverted, or more independent in general. I don't generally prefer having to rely on someone else to work on something, as I can get anxious more easily due to numerous factors...
