Stoyboards The use of storyboards in the project will prove to be extremely useful. In the storyboards, the illustrations were very simple to save on time. However, the illustrations were not the main focus of the storyboard, but rather the types of shots going to be used in the final product. The location of theContinue reading “Blog #20”

The props used in the project are very significant to the context of the story as they directly correlate with the plot. Throughout the room that the scene takes place in, there is candy scattered everywhere, this candy being a stand-in metaphor for illegal drugs. As for the color used in the scene, darker colorsContinue reading “Blog #19”

As the storyboard was developed, different ideas had to be utilized to make for good angles. Many medium and over the shoulder shots are used in the storyboard as they allow for a good amount of space for the characters. Mediums also are used to give the audience a sense of the of the room,Continue reading “Blog #18”

There are a variety of props that will be needed in this shoot. For one, we will need furniture ( 2 chairs and a desk). This furniture will be in the foreground of the scene, making it crucial. Other significant props include a record player and candy. These objects will be interacted with during theContinue reading “Blog #17”

The general schedule of the project will be simple enough. We will arrive at Mauricio’s house to film in the afternoon, probably around 1 or 2 on a weekend. We will organize the room, camera and props, and this shouldn’t take too long, probably around 20 minutes. We will proceed to get into costumes andContinue reading “Blog #16”

Upon getting the script back to examine, I noticed me and Mauricio made many mistakes. For one, we were not very descriptive with events happening in the script. Looking back this is definitely something we should’ve been more on top of. The dialogue was also generally confusing to follow in combination of this. To accommodateContinue reading “Blog #15”

The dynamics of my group is working quite well. Me and Mauricio get along very well and make a good creative team. Weaknesses of our teamwork, however, have been miscommunication and not being descriptive enough. These issues have been worked out mostly, but still sometimes occur. Through working in this group, I have learned howContinue reading “Blog #14”

The final product will require a multitude of different props. For one, we will need big lights, gels, for the lights, and a light diffuser. We will only most likely need 3 lights, a couple of gels, and one diffuser. One skateboard will be required to create a dolly effect. We will need to buyContinue reading “Blog #13”

As the script is worked on, most of the original ideas have indeed transferred over in a good way. The main plot and characters have transferred over. One element that is being changed is the pacing of the dialogue. Originally supposed to be somewhat of an interrogation, the new scene will be two people talkingContinue reading “Blog #12”

As of currently, the script is coming together with the needed elements. Despite this, however, it is not unlikely that the script will change. I want the project to be extremely suspenseful, so the dialogue must be intense. For this reasons dialogue changes might need to be made. I also hope that the cinematography isn’tContinue reading “Blog #11”
