The Start of the Short Film

 Now that we have completed most of the planning for the short film, its almost time to get started. So now that we are getting closer, today I made a website. Because this was my first time ever making a website, it was a few bumps in the road. For starters, I knew that I would have make the accounts so that I am able to put the links on the website. It was almost impossible to make an instagram on  my computer. But I did start with making a Facebook. Personally I don't use Facebook at all.  But I do have a Facebook. The only reason I have a Facebook was because of the live tour I bought. Since I don't use that account at all, I thought it would be easier to change that account into my movie premiere account. After I finished the Facebook account, I started making the Instagram account. When I was trying to sign up, it kept saying "you can't log in". I kept thinking I did something wrong with the log in but it was just the computer. So I figured it would be easier to just make an account off of my phone. And you guessed it, it worked. Making the account on my phone took like two seconds. After I made the account, I logged back in on my labtop and everything started to go smoothly. Also when I was making the instagram account I was adding my personal email to the log in page. Because the instagram page said even though its a buisness page put your personal email. Because I kept putting my personal email, it continued to make the username based off my username. Even though, I knew it would be hard, I knew I had to make a whole new email. It honestly wasn't that hard to make the new gmail, it was very quick. I think that in a couple days I'm going to start making all of social media accounts pretty and more informational. All of the social medias are down below.

Storyboard for Short Film

 First I would like to start by saying I am not a drawer. If I wasn't the writer of this movie I wouldn't know what I was drawing. I don't know why, but this was so hard draw. I feel like the last project I storyboarded wasn't as hard as this one. I feel like my scenes were harder to draw as well. I think I can only say that cause I didn't have to draw that many squares. I am going to be honest, I don't think I drew all of the squares I was supposed to because I forgot the time for each square. I think that I'm supposed to have more squares than I have now. I secondly would like to appologize to anyone who has to read my storyboard because I know I can't draw. I think in my very first project for last year I said that storyboarding was my favorite part, but now I know its definetly not. Luckily the storyboard paper includes the description box because it would've been real hard to know whats going on. I'm honeslty exicited to move on from this part of the project because it means we are closer to filming and and editing. I've decided on a name on the movie, "Playing Both Sides", because it was about a religious girl liivng in an world full of temptations. In the movie we see her live both her different lives, the one she lives with her parents and the one she lives with her friends. I know I was going back and forth with my storyline but I know this one is going to be great. I think this movie will be harder to film because I know I'm going to want it to be really technical but since I not a professtional its probably not going to end like I want it to. Which doesn't mean all the way bad, but just nit the best quality.

Planning For My Short Film

Its so much gonig on in the world, its great to be able to focus on projects like this to take my mind off of things. My schedule for the filming and editing process for this movie will get kind of hectic with all the events happening. After my storyboard is finished , I'm sure it will be expected for me to start filming. I will start filming on the 14th and end on the 18th. But that schedule might be hard to follow because I have a lot planned on those days. So my backup schedule will be to film from the 23rd to the 30th. I wasn't going to film from the 19th to the 22nd because I'm going to be out of town for my birthday. But I think it will be cool to maybe get some footage from the vaction house. I tried to make this movie as simple as possible so that it can reduce the locations I would have to film at. I haven't decided which house I'm going to use for my film, its between my house or my aunties house. But I'm now considering to film at the house on my vacation because it will add a more flavor to the short film. I'm not sure if a car is considered a location but I do plan on doing a scene in a car. Just like last year, my participants will be my family again. I know last year I said I'll never work with them again but I think this time will be alot better. Mostly because thier parts are very minimal this time. In this time, the health and safety part of the planning is most important because of covid. When the actors are going out they will have mask and when the participants are in the cars they will have on seatbelts. Some of the props I will use in the movie is a cellphone, mask, and a bible. The costumes for this movie are very minimal. The actors will wear regular everyday clothes and party clothes. One specific costume that is picked out is the large coat.
