Initial Storyboard - #14

  To know which events may occur in the film, I need a storyboard that is organized to help me create a mind map. I plan to also use it as a basic layout for my idea. Before I go ahead with a final copy of a storyboard, I came up with this quickly brainstormed one that has all of the basic parts.


  For a better understanding of what is happening, the first part opens with an establishing shot of the two bullies who are attacking the victim. The second box shows the two who had overcome their victim and now are talking down upon him. The third shows the car as it drives off. The fourth shows an over-the-shoulder of the protagonist looking at a garage. The fifth shows the protagonist training with his mentor, and the sixth shows his mentor giving a talk to him.
  
  What would I change or add to this initial storyboard?
  Because I brainstormed this very quickly, I didn't leave myself much time to visualize more than 6 parts. For the next one I do, I will spend more time to visualize. I will also add dialogue bubbles, as there will be some parts that include dialogue. As well as adding extra boxes and dialogue, I will try to add more detail to the pictures themselves, to make it easier to tell what is going on. Overall, this was a short-term success that I needed at the moment, but to push my final project even further, improvements are needed.

Final Cut - #42

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.
