Character Types - #12

   Who doesn't love a good, humble winner? Sports drama films are likely to include a protagonist who has gone through hardships in their life and eventually overcomes a great challenge. However, there is more than just the protagonist to consider.

  For example, what or who poses a challenge to the protagonist? By first identifying this, it will be easier to create a plot to follow along. The 3 most common conflicts are man vs man, man vs nature, and man vs technology. I have decided to use the man vs man conflict, as I believe it will fit the plot I am looking to create.


  What types of antagonists are there? There are 4 main types such as villains, conflict-creators, inanimate forces, and the protagonists themselves. The antagonist type that will be included is the villain. The villain will be the main opposition to my project's protagonist, and who will also be the one to push them further beyond their limits. 


  With that being said, what about secondary characters? The role of a secondary is important in developing the protagonist. The main objective of this character that will be focused on is to be introduced as a mentor who motivates and disciplines the protagonist. 


  The 3 main character types that I will include in my final project are the protagonist, the villain, and the supporter. Trying to fit in any more may be unnecessary, as I will only have two minutes to work with. The mix of these may hopefully make this idea fun to film and plan for.

Final Script - #35

  For my finalized script, I completed much more of what was left of the first draft. This included things such as camera shots, music chimes, and sections for each part. With this complete, I can now finish filming and have everything organized.         Scripting was the most intricate, but necessary part. This is because it took a lot of time to put together and actually create from scratch. Not only did I have to write the lines for all of my characters, but also the way it would be shown through the camera shots. In my opinion, this is the hardest part of preparation.

Setting and location - #27

   For this opening scene, I only wanted to make two areas the focus. One was the sidewalk, and the other was Miguel's house. Both of which can be found in a neighborhood. I found it ideal, as it was close to where I live and we wouldn't have to go anywhere far to film it.   The sidewalk would be used for the chase section, where Sammy would hunt down Tim. This setting will be the least significant, and shortest but it will be included in the very beginning. Miguel's house is the most important setting as it is where he and Tim will develop their friendship. This in turn will set up the story for the entire film.   What was most interesting about filming at these places was the lighting. The sun gave really good natural lighting, which was important to these scenes. I was able to film what I wanted to since it was pretty much clear on both filming days. I also liked how the sunset looked at the end where Tim was about to walk out.
