I edited today. I started with a rough edit of just getting all of the pieces together and when I got home I continued and started to fix some more fine details. It still isn't done, I wanna re-film the part when I am kicking Emily because that is confusing and some other stuff. But that shouldn't take too long, and I could get it done in less than a period. I picked out a song to use. It was written by Alexandre Desplat. He writes music for a lot of major motion pictures, he recently wrote the soundtrack for Argo and he did the soundtrack for The Tree of Life, and the song I choose of his was from Moonrise Kingdom. On of my favourite things about that movie was the music. It fit the movie so perfectly and I started to listen to that soundtrack without the movie behind it. His stuff kind of fit the movie but at the same time didn't. I have more to fix and that's what I'll be doing tomorrow. Here is what I got so far.

So the new script I wrote is for a silent film. There is no real plot and I wanted to make it more metaphoric. I have issues with finding locations for films, so I decided to write a film that I knew I could film without having to worry about locations because it would be in a secure place, that I could know would be available and that is outside. The story is about a boy who trips and crawls around the parking lot outside and isn't allowed to get back up. Then it ends with him trying to get up, but then being pushed down again and only is able to get up again with the aid of another person. I wrote out a shot list and have a basic story board. I don't want this to take me too long to film or edit and I wanna start film it all Friday because tomorrow I'm helping Anika with her make up thing and Thursday there is STAC art.

So my plan for the next week is to film my movie that I was talking about last week, over spring break, and start another smaller project that I can finish this week. My script for the first film is done and most of what I need to fill is at my house. I'm starting a second film now that is going to be significantly shorter, and I wanna have that filmed by the end of this week.

Inquiry

I have been trying to think about what it is I should inquire about. I could always do something on writing but what I really want to learn about is film making. I know close to nothing about it, but what I do know is that I've seen quite a large number of films in the past few months, and I've really been taking an interest in that. I just googled directing and a bunch of stuff came up. I guess I'll start there.

Chasing

So me, Danielle and Kat worked on a thirty second chase scene today. Basically the whole thing is just chasing. I had the idea to use Misirlou from Pulp Fiction as the music in our movie and have a scene like the one in the Graduate where Ben is just running down the street but doesn't look like he's going anywhere.

I realized something today as I was working on a script with Jessica. We have had an extremely odd relationship with each other. Our piece is about two spies that are trapped and must confront an evil doctor. It's a completely silly script but it reflects so much about our lives and the relationship we have with each other. I don't know if Jess would be comfortable with me getting into the details but this much information could have been gathered from facebook. We dated, twice, and now I'm a homosexual, and we are now really good friends, but there we're also times when we didn't speak to each other at all. Our relationship has been everywhere it could go and that is what is our script really is about, our lives, our story, told in a five minute script consisting of cliche spies and a transvestite doctor. It's not done yet, but the idea is one so perfect to me, and I really want to get it on it's feet because this idea is just too good to just be another script saved on flash drive.
