Update on my Film!

 

Hello all! 

It is that time of the year where I give an update on my film.

Filming

I have not started the actual filming. But I have compile dates that I will be filming. In order to get an actor, I have to travel. Due to this, it is vital that I have all my storylines, and camera equipment ready. I have made a little checklist the things I need to do before I start filming!

1. Storyboard and Storylines:

   • Storyboard: Create a visual representation of my scenes. Sketch out each shot, including camera angles, movements, and transitions.
   • Storylines: Refine my plotlines. Ensure consistency, character development, and engaging arcs. Consider subplots and how they intertwine.

2. Script Finalization:

   • Review and Edit: Polish my script. Check dialogue, pacing, and overall flow. Make sure it aligns with my vision.
   • Character Descriptions: Flesh out my characters. Understand their motivations, conflicts, and growth.

Editing

I am very excited for this part. I have a lot of plans for what I want the editing to be. One of the main things is a filter. I want a filter that makes it seem like a bit of a daydream, then switch it toward the wend to show an awakening. I was inspired by Wes Anderson films to do this. I love the use of vibrant colors, and how it almost feels like a book. I would like to show this on a smaller scale in my film.

 

Mise-en-scene

I have been planning props and location. I will most likely be going to a small island to film it. This will help increase the overall look of the film, and it is also closer to the location of where my actor will be. 

Another part of mise-en-scene I would like to give attention to the clothing that the main character wears. This can be a  very indicative of how she progresses throughout the story. I would start with more light and dull characters, then slowly introduce more colors. I would especially like red because it indicates danger, rebellion. and emotional intensity. 

Marketing

I have created my Instagram, and have posted some things to update. One of my goals is to post more in the upcoming weeks. Especially when I start getting closer to the filming of it. I would also like to make posts after the filming has been done, in order to gain curiosity about it. Go follow my instagram.
