Loss of wifi = Loss of work

The internet in my house has been down all week. I couldn't get any work done or practice editing videos because I couldn't download the software in time. I downloaded and learned the basics as fast as I could but i still need to start the editing process. I honestly dont have much of an update due to the fact that I couldn't work on it all week. But I will explain some key points in my film.

The whole film takes place in Rowins house to support the idea that she stays home because everything important to her in in one place, this helps the fact that she meets Sofia in her house as well. I named the film "Flamingo" because of the pink color coding I did to the main character and also the fact that flamingos are monogamous, one mate for life.

The opening is a small monologue which tells a story Rowins mother used to tell her before she left about her birthday, then is continued with a remark about college applications to give Rowin an age, and also breaks the stereotypical teenage drama where the main character has a quirky backstory and the trope that she "is not like other girls". I will try and edit this scene by Sunday.

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...
