Filming is DONE!

-

 



    Starting our project our group split up the workload in an efficient and amazing way! Cole films and acts, I do marketing and touch ups on editing, while Samuel edits and works on producing the film. Through this organized process, our main difficulty was meeting together to film due to many factors as well as living far apart. Luckily everything is turning out very well and we are definitely on track. 

GREAT NEWS: OUR FILMING PORTION IS COMPLETE!

Cole was able to finish filming and re-shoot the minor scenes I participated in with Dara. He sent me the footage and its coming together. The only complaint I had was that it was filmed in the day instead of night however, everything else is fine. Although this is a small issue, it worked out because we don't have lighting equipment to use once it gets dark outside. Dara was great for acting and particpating on such short notice and Cole's acting was spot on. 
    Now that i've recieved some footage I can use them for other media purposes. Some clips or pictures can be used on the website and social media pages

Our Pitch for Project! - Short Film

-

      We've been tasked with a Short Film that's supposed to be the length of five minutes. I am working with a group and spent about 2 days brainstorming and came together with ideas and we collectively decided on a product.    Our main pitch and film will be about a man and his wife whom he has just killed. She's been put in the trunk of his car and it will begin with the male actor closing the trunk. Afterwards he's being mentally strained and traumatized with overwhelming guilt to where hes hallucinating his dead wife in his car and around him. Playback's of their memories together will be shown to develop character relationship. The woman's dialogue will be her soothing/downplaying the situation because his subconscious is trying to relieve him of guilt. He'll be completely overwhelmed. Wrapping up the film will be him stopping and getting out of the car to then, walk out into the road to end his life.      The entire film will take plac...

Genre Research: Me Before You 2016

  Me Before You was a full on drama influenced and led by romance. A man was living a lavish, wealthy and adventurous life until his life changed completely after being in an accident that left him paralyzed. Louisa enters his life as his caregiver but becomes so much more by loving him and wanting him to find value in his life. But in all her efforts, his mind didn't change. A necessary convention of drama was character development. Within the movie, Louisa grew personally and it's because of her experiences with Will. In my film I'll be sure to include that development. Another thing that made this movie successful was the irony in some parts. Will used to jump off cliffs into oceans and since he cant walk, going back to his old life isn't even an option. Lastly, was the unpredictable ending. The continuous drama of what'd happen next and the constant rising of issues made it interesting and I'll be sure to take that into thought when creating my film.

The Drive, Short Feature - Reflection

  How do your products represent social groups or issues?     Our film isn't vocally or directly focused on social issues however when looking for a deeper meaning, an issue that prevails is the male's mental state. To have killed someone he loves, to imagine/hallucinate them in his space, to then kill himself is a lot to receive in a short film. As we forge through an era where mental health is prioritized, this film was an easy development to portray this. Boys and men are prone to be judged for showing or expressing emotions. In the film, this bottled-up self-hatred, guilt, and uncertainty of the main character led to his own demise. Applied to society, this happens so frequently that people push it under the rug. Men should be allowed to have and express their emotions without feeling empty or weak. We are all human and it's impossible to feel anything. Dean committed suicide at the end of the film by walking out into the road because he couldn’t take anymor...
