Costuming - #23

  People may find it hard or difficult to dress their characters for a film however, this was not the case for my project. For all the characters in the film, I wanted to keep the outfits simple. This is because wearing what they wear daily seemed more realistic to me.

  For the antagonist, Sammy, I chose to give him an outfit that he usually wears, which is a t-shirt and pants, but I decided he should wear a backpack. This is because it makes him seem more mysterious, as if he were hiding something

  For his partner in crime, Carlos, also known as the getaway driver, I did not put a major focus on his costume. Since he will only actually be seen on the driver's side of the car, I thought that he should wear sunglasses and a grey hoodie with the hood on. The shades would hide his eyes and the sweater would hide his body, as well as make him look like a shady person.


  The protagonist would wear a normal outfit, which is comprised of shorts and a sweater. This is what he normally wears, which is important to the plot because he is meant to be caught off guard on what he thought would be a normal day.

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.
