Production Blog: Planning, Planning, Planning

This week, I planned and planned and planned. I created my scripts for what my actors were going to say, and what will occur in each scene. The lines are in the sound script. The scenes are described in the shooting script. I also decided on which locations I wanted to film in. I carefully chose all of my actors and who was going to help me film. I also drew out my entire storyboard for what will happen in each scene. I will have a total of ten scenes. Each scene will range from five seconds to up to thirty seconds. Some scenes will take place in my car, some in my apartment, some at the beach, and then the final scene will take place at the top of a parking garage. I didn't get to begin filming this week, because I was busy planning it all out. I needed to make sure that the actors I chose would be able to be in the film. I also wanted to show them the script. I wanted them to become familiar with it and to start looking at their lines. I also wanted to give them a heads up to not hang out with too many people, because of COVID-19. Thankfully, all of my friends agreed and said that they would love to be in my film. I plan on filming the first few scenes, beginning either this weekend or the next week. My plan is to film the scenes in which the character, Alex, is by herself. By this I mean the scenes where she's in the car or in her bedroom. I would like to get those scenes out of the way and finished because half of the scenes are easy to film.
