Blog Post #3: Locations

-

 What locations are you using? How long do you think it'll take you to film? Who are your subjects and what do you think your process for directing and filming will be in the context of COVID-19?

The locations I'm using are mainly going to be inside my house, and just a little bit of the outside. The actors I used in my film were mainly my mom and my baby sister as the main characters in the opener. My process for directing and filming in this current pandemic that we live in filtered out a lot of areas that I thought would be fun and cool to record in. I decided to mainly just film inside my house because if I try to film anywhere outside or away from my house, it will be very hard to film and make it seem like I am casually recording a film for an examination.

The same thing if a movie takes place in a dark scene, it may signify to the audience that the movie is possibly a thriller or a sci-fi genre type film.

Blog Post #2 : Story Board

-

  What was the process of creating the storyboard like? Did it confirm or refute your initial thoughts for what the video intro would look like? Did you iterate on your idea? Are there any additional things you added, or aspects that you've taken away?  Creating the storyboard was difficult because I was continually very indecisive on how I wanted my story to turn out. It made me think about making a good and captivating storyline that I wanted to introduce to my audience. I decided to show more characters in my film opener, and I thought of a way to show my story without giving away the entire plot. I decided to add some more dialogue in my storyboard and more camera movements to show more than just a terrified protagonist. I removed the amount of stiffness in my camera movement.
