Now The Plot Thickens

So now I'm into my second week and I've been busy working. I now have a full blown plot in the works and I've been touchin up and revising aspects of the story itself. After all, a movie really isn't that great unless one has a decent story to tell. Hopefully within the next couple weeks I can get the ball rolling on the filming process.

So the Work Begins!

So the first week is done and it's been pretty tricky. Right now I have a general idea of what I want to do which is a horror/mystery film. Being that this is my first piece of work, I figured I mite want to start off with something that shouldn't be too hard to film and something anyone could relate to, because everybody has seen a scary movie before. The title is called "The Unforgiven" and so far I have a general idea of the plot and theme. Right now I've been in the process of working on a script, characters, and developing a decently interesting and strong plot (at least enough for a short film.) I must admit, it is a tad bit hard trying to balance out school work and this, and with the added pressure of possibly having a job makes things tougher. Oh well though, many of the people we consider to be great went against impossible odds to accomplish a goal, so school and a job...not even a shadow of a problem!

Why I'm Making a Short Film.

For my twenty percent project I've decided to attempt to make a short film. My inspiration for this comes from a life long interest of the film industry. I've looked into a range of things from how actors prepare for rolls to how a director uses a certain angle to make a shot come to life, so it's only natural for me to try this out. My goal in life is to be an actor or, should that not work in my favor, someone behind the scenes. Hopefully I do decently well on this, learn what to do and what not to do in a sense.
                In order for this to come to life it's going to take a lot of time, preperation, and percission to make this work. Thankfully I already have some expierence in camera opperating and acting thanks to Mr. Malicke, my broadcasting teacher. I know he's going to be a huge help in making this work for me which i owe him a huge debt should this work. The main obsticals are getting a script and decently good actors. Due to having free weekends, finding time and places to film shouldn't be too hard. I imagine I'm going to be working somewhat close to the due date to make sure everything is in good condition for showing, but for now I'll just have to take it day by day.
