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.

O Brother, Where Art Though?/Homer's Odyssey

Throughout O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Coen brothers included various elements in the film that drew inspiration from Homer's The Odyssey . The following are a few of these elements and characters from O Brother, Where Art Thou?  that are meant to reference Homer's The Odyssey . The Sirens In The Odyssey , Sirens are seductive creatures who try to tempt the main character of Odysseus into coming with them. To counteract this, Odysseus fills his ears with beeswax and is bound to the mast of his ship as instructed to him by Circe. In O Brother, Where Art Thou? , the Sirens act like they do in Homer's poem. They're used in the plot as a way to tempt our main characters. However unlike Odysseus in The Odyssey , Elmer, Delmar, and Pete do nothing to protect themselves from the Siren's temptations and allow themselves to be thrown off their path. Big Dan Teague In The Odyssey , The creature of the Cyclops is known as Polyphemus, son of Poseidon. In...

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...

Investigation 4/25: Scott Pilgrim Takeaways

Typically, I only really watch movies in a social setting or if there's one particular film that I really want to see. Over the past few days I've tried to change this habit by watching a film each night in the evening. The first of these films is one that I always wanted to watch but never had until now. Scott Pilgrim VS. The World  was originally released in 2010 and is based upon the 2005 graphic novel of the same name. The film follows Scott Pilgrim who has to fight the seven evil exes of his new girlfriend Ramona Flowers in order to be able to date her. The film is great and instantly became one of my favorites. However, the purpose of this blogpost isn't to gush about how good the film is. The purpose of this blogpost is to talk about a few takeaways that I got from the film. Editing Since the film is based upon a graphic novel that is heavily inspired by video games, it took a large amount of creativity to bring those influences to life on the big screen. One of the ...
