Okay blog, I have been holding this off to long. To be honest though, it is not that significant to my film opening since there is barely any dialogue. However, I still need to have some sort of direction when filming on Saturday. If you did not already guess, I am talking about screenplay (which I had previously discussed but ignored it until now). I went on to my screenplay website and got straight to work after realizing how long I held off on it and that I am going to need it for when I film. To do create the screenplay, my storyboard was a huge help for creating the screenplay as they both serve the same purpose which is direction. As much as I did procrastinate screenplay, it worked out since I knew I wanted to complete my final storyboard before making it in order to ensure that I would not have to make any drastic changes that would effect my scheduling.
Here it is, sorry once again for the delay, my screenplay! (thank you Studio Binder)

I would also like to mention that I do not know if my parents still have bikes in my garage which could be an issue since that is my ending scene. I put the girls on bikes to showcase their youth and innocence. However, if I don't have bikes, I cannot do this scene. I have not checked yet since I am not typically in my garage but, I have come up with a back-up plan just in case I do not have access to bikes. Instead I could do Avery and Madi getting into the car together and driving away. Amanda and I both have our drivers license so either of us could be the driver. I feel as though Madi's character (who is played by me) should be the driver since she is labeled as the more responsible one, which ironic since Amanda is definitely more responsible than I am.
Having the realization that I may not be able to have bikes worried me at first since thats the way my storyboard and screenplay are written. I am just relieved that I have come up with a back-up plan just in case my idea does not go according to the plan I will let you know soon Blogger :)
I decided to combine my final screenplay blog post since costuming in my film opening is not too complex since it is just two teenagers, however, that does not me it doesn't have meaning. In my final storyboard draft, I added a moment of foreshadowing when Avery holds up Madi's shirt in shirt in the bedroom scene where Madi is then shown wearing the shirt Avery was holding up previously. This provides context as to why Avery was holding up the shirt and leave the audience questioning why it is significant and what will it lead to.
Avery's Costume
For Avery's costume choice, I wanted to put her darker colors to have her clothing represent how she feels internally feels with her life. Her clothing choices also represent the fact that she does want to put any effort towards herself anymore because of how much these recent events have effected her productivity.
Madi's Costume
For Madi's costume choice, it is a direct match to her vibrant personality. She is seen typically wearing bright colors to match her radiant self. The shirt she is shown wearing is the one Avery was holding up in her bedroom when she is seen reminiscing about her memory. I chose the bright orange shirt that way it will be easy for the audience to remember that it is the shirt Avery was holding earlier in the opening. Her clothes represent what her energy was like when she was still alive.
I am slightly concerned on how filming is going because Amanda and I have busy schedules so, an extra day of filming would not be ideal in this case especially because spring break is coming up and I will be working all day so I only scheduled for that week to edit the filming opening and document it on Blogger. Therefore, I will not let Amanda leave my house until I feel I have enough footage. (Sorry in advance Amanda) I want as much shots as possible of each seen to ensure that I will be satisfied with each scene in order to make sure that I do not have to have an extra day of filming. I plan on taking multiple shots of each scene, even if I feel I got a good clip, I would like to have a few of them so that I can pick which one looks the best.
Watching everything piece together is so rewarding and now I get to watch it all come to life on Saturday. Before filming, I am going to experiment with more editing websites on in order to find one that I am comfortable using. I have mentioned previously that I have used IMovie in the past but, I have a feeling that it will be difficult to layer on that platform, which could be an issue since I plan on doing a lot of layering in order for the soundscape to sound realistic. I am so excited to watch this come together after working on this for the past month. Until next time!
