Week 3 Post 1 03/15/18

     Today in class we got with other groups and shared feedbacks to better our own projects. There was only one other person doing a short film in the group that I joined, his name was Christian. Since he was the only other making a short film me and him connected the most and gave each other feedback. He’s making a film based on an upcoming drug dealer trying to make a name for himself in the underground crime society of the suburban city called Weston. He read my whole script and was really interested in our idea. He thought the idea was original and unique and thought we could play it off quite nicely. He had two main pieces of criticism which I agreed with him completely. His first was cut the number of actors. There’s too many roadies and finding that many actors would be a hassle. His second criticism which I didn’t notice until he pointed it out was the script itself. The dialogue seems a little forced and it doesn’t flow as natural as it should be. This exercise really helped and I believe our film will be better because of it.

Week 6 Post 2 04/05/18  Yesterday in class we had another feedback session among other groups. Unlike last time this time I was in a group filled with other students doing film openings. This was a great help because I got to hear a lot of different opinion on our film and I got to hear other projects as well. I was talking to Diego about how I believe obtaining lights to bright the stage will be a bit complicated and he mentioned that since Homero is in CBTV he has access to rent out equipment including lights. Homero over heard this conversation and agreed to what he was saying but also added that the stage in the auditorium already has lights installed. That cleared up that problem. Besides that I didn't have too many concerns. Jamie and Diego both stated that the transition between scenes is neat and think it will turn out well.

Week 1 Post 2 03/04/18      Homero had some spare time and decided to make a practice script. We all read it thoroughly and agreed that it's a good place to start. With time we'll add some tweaks here and there. Personally, my idea for the film was how a group of teens make it in the music businesses while keeping their purity and innocence. The part of the script that i'm not particularly fond of is when Anderson is seen jittery and going through some sort of drug withdrawal. Also in the script the only band member that is presented is Anderson when in reality there's multiple band members. Like I previously stated throughout the film making process we'll work together as a team to fix the imperfections and make the best final product possible.

Week 2 Post 1 03/05/18      Today in class we went further into the script. Tristan was absent today so Homero, Alejandro, and I discussed the tweaks we could make to the script. Me and Homero ended up writing a new script which I will include down below. Personally I’m very fond of this script and I prefer it over the previous one made. A problem that Homero brought up and has a point with is that casting that many roadies to help with the shot would be too complicated. I told him why don’t we just cut down the amount of roadies to 2-3? He replied that it would play a large role in keeping the realism of the shot. I suggested my new idea where we basically keep everything the same but instead of there being roadies walking around all over the place the only people shown in the shot would be the band members relaxing in a lounge area waiting to be put on stage. After a few seconds just one roadie would come in the room and say something like “Are you guys ready, they want you out th
