I have great news on this production that indicates notable progress for all of my ideas. As a creator, I always feel a special way when my imaginative ideas come to life and are translated exactly how I want them (I'm a perfectionist when it comes to creating).
I have a script!! This is something I've been itching to do after dedicating so much time to forming my characters. This is definitely a rough draft that I will likely tweak before or during the film process. But I'm just glad I have the majority of the dialogue established.
The approach to writing this script was mostly centered on the emotions that I feel the characters should represent based on the plot that I wrote. I also kept time in mind during the writing process, because I figured it is equally as important to stay within the "timeframe" of the project as to convey the needed context through the actors in their lines. Similar to exceeding the word count on an AICE exam essay, no matter how valuable the information after the limit is, it will likely not be read by the grader due to the strict rules on the test and will basically mean nothing. Every now and then, I would do a full read of the script (with necessary pauses and gestures accounted for), time it with a stopwatch, and adjust as needed.
Here is my script:
That's all for now. See you in the next one!

So I've shared my new ideas and research from this week, but I feel like a general update on the progress I've made (as well as the progress I will make in the future) is definitely necessary.
As I mentioned last week, a large goal of the week was to keep expanding on the characters of my story and develop them according to aesthetics and overall contribution to the plot. I figured wardrobe was something pretty important, so I was able to put together two wardrobes for my characters, as well as gather the necessary props to fit their character's roles.
Although I haven't started the filming process, I am pushing to try and start this weekend, aka the start of my spring break, but that all depends on their availability. If the opportunity to film doesn't come up, I will at least use that day in the schedule to decorate the set and place every prop where it fits best. I will also start playing around with angles on my camera to acquire the best shots, to save time on the day of filming. But of course, filming is the priority so let's hope everything works out.
This week, I am determined to write the entire script and deliver it to my actors at least 2 days before the first film date, so I will keep you guys updated on that as well.
In regards to major advances in my project, that's about it. See you guys next week!!

Hello everybody!
Because I want to stay more organized for this project, I have decided to create a brief filming and editing schedule, just to keep myself disciplined for the future, as well as set these days apart from my everyday schedule. I want to do this to avoid any form of procrastinating, which could ultimately affect the overall quality of my production.
Check it out:
BLUE: Editing Day
GREEN: Final Due Date*
This schedule was made based on my personal schedule, my actors' work schedules, and the availability of my guest room. Hopefully, I can adhere to this as much as possible. If any changes happen, I will make sure to communicate them in the next posts. Goodbye till then!
