week 1 - scripting, location and shot testing

Imagen
This week, Imani and I finished scripting, we also took a few hours to search for locations that will fit perfectly for the setting, along with testing out some shots to get physical with our ideas. We were trying to do an areal shot of the main character in bed. We set up the tripod in a certain way but then we realized it was impossible to make the motion we wanted. So then we decided to use a gimbal, it turned out as we wanted. We found the perfect location to do the "car pickup scenes", due to the location's aesthetic. These place gives the audience an understanding that they were in their houses.  After all these process and preparation, we can continue to start filming next week :)

What Inspired Me?

One of the biggest movies that inspired me to chose the romantic/drama topic, is the Fault Is In Our Stars, along with The Kissing Booth, To All the Boys I've Loved Before and 5 Feet Apart. Although this were my major movies inspirations, for the first part of the opening scene, I found a movie that is very different from what I waned my movie to be, and that is 16 Wishes, a Disney Chanel movie. At first I didn't wanted to incorporate this movie in my ideologies, because I never really liked this movie when I was younger, because it's a very basic and boring movie. But after watching the first few minutes, I though it would be very interesting to base my movie opening with that one, just a little more interesting and visually pleasing and soothing, and then increase the mood on the clip.  Another movie that inspired my movie opening was: To All The Boys I've Loved Before, again, I didn't want to base my movie on this one at first because I don't want it
