Setting

     Today, during class, with my partner we discussed a few things about the productions location, the outfit design, and more. For setting, we had a few options in mind, the top two where at my house or his house. We decided that the best spot to shoot would be Manuel's house. He haves many cool props we will be able to use to have a complete look of what we currently have in mind. We will shoot inside and outside his house. We have also started creating the story boards and shot lists. I will post them as soon as we are done creating them. 

     We will begin the filming process during spring break since its coming up in less than a week.

The Plan!!

Hey everybody! 

     After many group discussions and going about its me and my partner have finally decided on our projects story line! YAY It was about timeee lol. 

    So let me explain the story. In this teen drama we will be following our main character who will be played by Manuel Name. He is a very dedicated student, he has always been devoted to school and his studies. He's top of his class and a pride to his parents. He haves two loving parents who appreciate and praise all of his hard work, they couldn't be any prouder. In his free time he enjoys playing video games and nothing else, he doesn't have many friends or ever hangs out with them since he is a very introverted guy, or so we thought... One Friday night, our main character is playing video games as usual and as his mom walks in his room to say goodnight, he lays down in bed and says goodnight as well. As soon as his mom leaves the room and closes the door, we see he receives a text. This text says something like, "we are here". Now the main character gets up, gets dressed and quietly sneaks off the house behind his parents backs. He jumps off his bedroom window and runs off to a car, his friend's car.

    The main character haves a whole different life behind the peoples eyes. He is seen as a quiet and studious kid by his parents. And a reveler rebel by his friends and people at school.

    We are really happy with how the storyline came out and we will post our storyboards and shot lists soon!! 

Base Of Our Project

     Today me and my partner discussed the sub genre in drama we would like to incorporate on our film. And we decided on a teen drama. Teen dramas follow a teen or a young adult throughout their daily life. However, their life is never like any other, these stories usually have a lot of conflict and feature high stakes even though they are based on real life scenarios. The story moves forward by the main character's every action and emotion, as these films are plot and emotion driven. The character's in these movies usually have a very strong sense of self, after all they are teens designed by adults. 

    And example of a teen drama would be Pretty Little Liars, this was one of the most popular series in 2010 and forward. This teen drama follows the lives of five best friends as their inner circle falls apart after the disappearance of their leader. With time they find deep secrets on the depths of their friendship. 

    Me and my partner believe this would be an exciting and stirring genre to work with.

Quick Little Reflection :)

     As I reflected on the past few days and all that had been going on, I found ease in my mind. I feel way more relaxed now that I know that with my new partner we will be able to work twice as hard and trouble free. With new schedules to work together and plan our project during the weekdays. This was a key moment to me since it impacted the whole project. I am excited to see what we do.

   So far the project has been going at a fairly slow pace. This was not only because of bad communication with my last partner but also because of the lack of motivation. However, I still made some rewarding research I will be able to utilize in my pre production. I am now more than ready and motivated to move forward on this project with my new partner.
