2/16/24 - Baby Steps

 Hi Blog! A few days ago, I did not have a clue what I would be creating my film opening about. Despite this, I have my idea! I even have started my storyboard and a to-do list of aspects that I need to make decisions on such as the fonts, title, protagonist, mood boards, etc. My first draft of the storyboard is not quite done yet because I do not know how I want to end my opening yet. 

I have a few different ideas for how I could end this opening. The first one being she gets back from a party she does not want to be at and then she arrives back to her room, receives a phone call, and has an ending reaction that leaves the audience questioning what the call was about. Another idea I had was to end the opening with the protagonist screaming into their pillow out of frustration because of her internal struggles. The endings may seem confusing with out knowing the beginning yet so I put below my first storyboard to get a glance at my idea.

As you can see, I do not know what I will be filming after car scene. So far though, I believe that I have made great progression these past few days. I have a developing story but I want to explore the characters I will be creating. This weekend, my goals are to develop more on my two characters (Protagonist and her mother) I would like to define how they look, their style, and make mood boards about who they are, interests, hoobies, etc. 

Not only I am developing my characters, I am currently making another calendar where I will label what type of post I will be making for a given day. I will most likely have my full story board done by the end of next week. I know that I have so many more tasks to complete but I am taking it step by step carefully crafting my every move so that this is a project that I can say I am proud of. By doing this simple step with storyboarding, it gives me an outline of what I will be working with. I will see you next week!
