Goodwill and Music update!

-
Yesterday I went to Goodwill! I had an amazing time with friends and even found some clothes I liked... but I found nothing for my actors to use. Since I only have the father actor I only have his size, for the rest I was going to buy a medium or small and hope for the best. I know it seems dumb to buy clothes without knowing sizes but, I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT :) . Either way I think I should probably postpone filming because not only do I not have actors, but I barely even have a script. Me being a dumb lazy senior did not think it would be this difficult to gather actors and feel prepared for this project. This week I will SOLELY focus on finding actors and making a script, I need to get the necessities for filming done so I can worry about editing and details later.

As for the music in my film, I took an executive decision (after noticing how hard garage-band is and how IMPOSSIBLE it is to make good music) to instead of make my music, find royalty free and copyright free music on specific websites I found and enjoyed (Here they are). I will worry about all the music after filming and before editing. I'm still looking for a specific sound, I talked about this in an earlier post.


Also as a small closing surprise to this post, I figured out the names of the characters in my film!

  • protagonist - Rowin Matthews 
  • Father- Leo Matthews (even though i doubt his name is going to be said in the opening)
  • Crush - Sofia Ocampo 
  • Mother - Ana Martinez

Opening scene

-
I started the editing process and got around 1 hour in before my computer shut down randomly... I lost all my work. This week has not been my week at all. So after crying for about 15 minutes I got back to work and now that I had an idea on what i wanted it would be easier. I couldn't get  as much of it as I already had, but this is what I finished. I personally dont like how the audio sounds and want to fix it, I also dont like how the opening feels bland and forced, not as smooth as I wanted it.  I will fix all of these bumps throughout the week but im very disappointed I could barely get any actual progress done on my film, this means I have to work double as hard the rest of the time I have.  (I also found out very late in the editing process that I need to pay for this editing service and if I dont it puts a HUGE water mark in the middle of my film...this pissed me off... a lot.)

Color and story planning!

-
Color is one of the first things I try to look out for in a film, it gives a sense of past, present, and future of the character or scene. Over the last few days I have been looking at color and the tone/ mood I want to set for my film. the film is comical but also about a high school relationship. To compliment the love aspect i decided warm colors once the protagonist meets her crush, and faded bland colors before. but as for color correction it will be warm and give off almost like a foreign film vibe. But what i cant seem to get down are the colors im assigning to each character. I read and saw a video essay about Edgar Wright (I know i keep bringing him up but he has influenced how i see comedy a lot over the years) and it explained how he assigns colors to his characters.  Link to video essay   I felt that the main character should be red, from dark red before the crush and almost a pink after the crush to show passion. The father should be grey to symbolize his gloomy e...
