Pre-Production Blog Post 10/7

After working over the past few weeks to complete the pre-production stage of my project, the following is what I have accomplished.

Releases

The following are the releases that I have collected for this project. Three of these releases are talent releases for the the three actors who will appear in the documentary. These actors are all people who I personally know and are reliable enough to depend on for this project. The other release is a location release. The selected location for this film was my house. With my script being relatively simple and not requiring a large amount of locations, my property should be flexible enough to make the film come to life. Below is a link to pictures of my releases as it is difficult to insert pictures into Blogger without encountering formatting errors.

Storyboard

The storyboard that I have drawn for the documentary gives a basic view of what I would like the final product to look like. There were a few sections on the storyboard that I left vague. The reasoning behind this is because currently I know what I would like to insert in these sections however, I do not know what they should look like and likely won't know until I go and film.
Below is again a link to pictures of my storyboard.

Script

My script for the documentary can be seen below. I do not consider myself a writer, but I feel that this script best represents what I would like to accomplish. I worked to create moments of comedy while also teaching about the focused topic. While I will largely stick to what I have written, I feel that it is likely that I will change and adapt portions of the script to better fit with what I am able to produce. If it is difficult to view the script on Blogger, below is a link to pictures of each page of the script.

Critique Reflection

(Submitted on 11/8/18 since I was sick) For our recreation of the scene from High School Musical, I felt that our process of recreating what was present in the actual scene was one of the better things we did for our project. When comparing our scene to the original, I feel that our shots were lined up very closely to what was originally present. As for what I feel I need to improve on, the main thing would be preparation. There were many points that we should've been more prepared which can be seen in the final film. Since we weren't prepared, some of our shots weren't close to what was seen in the original and some audio issues were present that could've been avoided if we had taken time to prepare before shooting. My strengths for this assignment would probably be my knowledge of the scene and trying to plan by day for what we needed to do. The weakness that I had was not being able manage my group as well as I felt I could. This prevented us from getting work d

End of MP 1 Blog Post

After now reaching the end of the first marking period of the 2019-2020 school year, I am able to reflect back upon the work that I have completed so far. Intention Definition & Exploration Of Ideas Having no prior experience in any particular area of film, I set out to choose a topic to focus on that would allow me to help narrow down my focus. The area I chose to focus on was documentary and mockumentary styled film making. I made this choice with the intention to be able to explore both formal and less formal ideas while also not relying on having to create an entire original idea by myself. The topic of my film (The Game) was chosen because of my familiarity and pre-existing personal opinions about it. Planning Planning an entire production entirely by myself was a change of pace in comparison to how I worked in previous years. I began the planning process by typing out all of my thoughts in order to help establish what I am trying to do. Once I developed an idea for th
