Update!

So I already told you guys that we had to change our storyboard a little bit just to keep things more interesting in our film.

Music is a very important aspect to any films many movies are known for there sound tracks.
If music has this big of an impact on films then we need to choose wisely. This means we couldn't just rely on one song. So we made the decision to begin looking for more songs because we never know which one will end up being used and we will have back up songs.


Another change we had to make was in our meeting schedule. It was a slight mistake in our scheduling nothing to big.



We had to change our meeting to next Wednesday nothing we couldn't handle. We plan on having everything ready for next Saturday since we want to start filming. WOW time flies. I think Sophia and I are ready though we have done everything and are gonna go over it to make sure we are on the same pages.

Well till next time.

Update!





I really want to talk with you guys about Sophie and I first meeting. I was nervous if I’m gonna be honest, I know Sophie is a perfectionist so if one thing went wrong I can be in big trouble.





With my luck I got there on time and Sophie had everything ready so there was no losing time. We went over our all the scenes in our storyboard and if you saw my last blog you’d know we are changing a few details. We did this until Valeria one of our actresses arrived. We already have actresses in mind, but we wanted to make sure everything goes together. So Valeria has to have a family that at least looks like her and the man actress the same.





The mise-en scene of film was overall complete in a layout shit we created in a shared document that I will be sharing with you soon after we go over it in class.





P.S. Meeting went well, productive, and Sophie did not get mad at me.

Update!





I have really good news. So we’ve been emailing a music company to be allowed to use there song in our film. After a week of Sophie and I bothering them about this they finally answered.


All of the planning portion of our project is starting to come together.


Check list:


Storyboard


Planning sheet


Actors


Place


Song confirmation





Our storyboard will be getting a few modifications nothing to big though. Sophie and I just want to make sure that our opening scene is not to basic and boring for our audience.


We decided to stick with the basic romantic comedy opening but with our own twist on it.





The song is gonna play a really big role in our film. It’s going to help with the tone and quality of the film.

I’m back guys sorry I had you waiting so long. Sophie and I have been researching on various things for our project. One of them being how we should begin our production process.





I began to look up production process in movies and I found a really good website.





https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/film-production/0/steps/12304





Since we are just beginning we are in between 1 and 2 we are not filming just yet, but if we keep following our schedule we should begin to film next saturday. Ok back to our production process. So this website cuts it down to 7 different stages, but it's a bit broad on what each stage contains.











So I found this and another more specific website which cuts the process up in 3 different parts.

Update time

 Our meetings this week went better then expected. We did our schedule outline and we did our story board. Next we spoke about scenery and layout drawings. Since we wanted to make the girl and the guy neighbor we had to start figuring out how we are going to make that work. With luck we found two friends of ours that are neighbors and going to let us film there.


Since they live in front of one another it fits perfectly into our story board. When the girl walks by she is going to be facing her crush getting into a car with another girl.

This website shows common scenarios for romantic comedies. Obviously we will not be going to Greece to film this project but we can manipulate our surrounding to make it seem exotic.

Most romantic comedies use school and a nature scheme as the scenaries. A nature scheme creates a romantic theme for the film which would be to our own benefit.

Well what a week thanks for keeping up with us hope you enjoyed.

Update
So Sophie and I had a very productive day. We research on the basic aspects that we should be writing down in our story board for our film.



I began to look up aspects of romantic comedy story boards and I came by a website that had some good advice for the most part.

https://uproxx.com/viral/how-to-write-a-hollywood-rom-com-in-10-easy-steps/

Our film cannot just start as if the audience already knows everyone since this is not a sequel. For that reason the way we begin is very important. We chose to begin with an establishing shot of the girls house and make her neighbor the guy she has a crush on. By doing this the audience can know that this two are gonna have a relationship later on. We also wanted the girl to be shy or timid in a way and the guy to be a cocky school athlete. This is a common thing because opposites attract right. The scene is going to begin before school as the girl and guy get ready. The girl wants to look nice but on the other hand the guy doesn't really care. We'll let you if we change anything but for now I think we are off to a good start.

We plan on meeting up everyday during spring break for at least an hour just to make sure we have enough time to edit and get peer reviews from our peers at school.

Today we did the outline to our plot so that tomorrow we have something to go by when we start the story board.

We are gonna try making the story board as specific as possible or at least right notes for ourselves so that we do not have any doubts when we begin our shooting. Also try not to judge us on our drawings we are not professional artist.
