Casting - #16

  To make a great film, there needs to be great actors. Somebody who can bring out the emotion of the characters to life, and really fit the role. I need 4 roles for the opening sequence, and without further ado, let me introduce each character. 
Main Character/Protagonist


  For this role, I cast Kyle. He is my best friend and knows how I want things to be done. He understands the underdog story the most, as he has always proven to never quit and give everything a try. I have also taught him the fundamentals of boxing, so he will be able to choreograph any fight scenes well. 
Bully #1

  
  The bully will be somebody who can make snarky remarks and quick-witted mean responses. An exceptional bully character will be able to make the audience feel upset with their actions and bring the best out of the protagonist. I chose to cast my friend, Joey, as I believe he is capable of taking advantage of this role unlike any other and also having fun with it.
Bully #2 


  The second bully will be somebody who can complement the main antagonist by being at their side and also sharing a dislike for the opposition. Someone who I believe can fit this role is my friend Marco. He is someone who I think has great charisma and acting ability. 
Mentor

  
  Arguably the most important character in the development of the protagonist, the mentor is the person who can teach and guide them to the right path, and to personal victory. Someone who I believe can fit this role the best is my friend Victor. Victor is very diligent and strives to do his best every day, and is also great at teaching his peers certain concepts.

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.
