Film Opening Day 9: R&D - Location 2

Film Opening Day 9: R&D - 
Location 2

Because I couldn't make it the last time the team took a trip to see Location 2 at the "Lakeside Village" in Bangna. We liked the location in general. The lighting was nice, and the village was generally very homely; looked genuine and generic. However, it would involve traveling for about an hour. This may be an issue when it comes to filming small extra scenes.

The following are some pictures of the location:

We have decided to add scenes into the opening,specifically the credits. I came up with most of the ideas today and presented them to the team. We the discussed the ideas, made minor tweaks to them and then went along with it. The following are some of the shots, as well as my *professional* drawing skills to illustrate my ideas to my team.

Location & Characters 

Today, we decided (and debated) on the possible locations we can use to film our opening. The choices were, filming at a nearby village called Hyde Park or another village called Villa Lakeside which is in Bangna - about an hours drive away from school. We also discussed the inspiration, as well as the characteristics of our characters but we have not yet decided who will be representing each character.

SUMMARY:
- My laptop broke (again)
- We decided to go explore both villages*
* I'll talk about this in a future Vlog. Yes, I said Vlog.

Film Opening Day 3: R&D - Script

Film Opening Day 3: R&D - Script

Today, we finalized details on our script. However, we still there's a chance we may not be using this one,as there may be issues (such as filming, or location) which may require us to change the script. We noted down the shots and cuts and other details, so that storyboarding would be easy to understand, interpret, and edited.

SUMMARY:
- More arguing
- We agreed on the script
- Ten shares his Japanese snacks
- Touched on the location of the film

Film Opening Day 2: R&D - Characters

Film Opening Day 2: R&D - Characters 

Today the group planned and research on what they wanted to do. They decided to go with plot 2, where the girl is taking care of her boyfriend's corpse, feeding it and generally taking good care of him, or rather, what's left of him, then we see that the corpse is... a corpse and that she killed her boyfriend. The audience is then told that she wants someone new... *refer to Ten's blog OR photo from previous post for more details.

Something else the group decided on was the the film would be called "Obsession".

Ten then found some inspiration for our main character; creepy girl. Ten said that "Yuno Gasai" from an anime called Future Diary or Mirai Nikki 未来日記 was very similar to what he was looking for in our main character.

"Our main character is a girl who has 2 personalities. The first personality (outside personality) is when she's very sweet,feminine and sometimes shy. The second personality is when she's a ruthless, psychotic killer." - Ten

However, they haven't yet decided on what the male character would shape up yet. Personally, seeing that he's dead, we should find someone with features in which could be easily act as "dead".

SUMMARY:

- Second day

- Did more planning and researching 

- Decided on a name
- Girl inspiration

- Argued some more

Film Opening Day 1: R&D - Plot 

Today was our first day of working on our Media Studies Film Opening. Initially, I decided to work by myself, but later decided against it as it was risky, and the project could be very time consuming (I'll talk about this later).

As of now, I am not yet part of this group; the group consisted of Ten, Pooh, and Smart.

As of now, they haven't yet decided on a logo or company name yet. However, Ten came up with some ideas such as ChillBroSwaggins and Sons.Inc.

SUMMARY:
- First day
- Did planning and researching 
- Hired smart
- Argued
