Portfolio Project: First Storyboard (BRIA)

Alrighty! So now that we have a rough draft of the script done, let's go through and sketch what each part of the film opening is going to look like paired up with the voiceover!

My drawing skills are not the best but I tried my best to channel my inner Picasso so enjoy my abstract stick figures!

Let's start at the beginning of the film opening. If you recall from my previous blog posting, Bria is the first character introduced by the voiceover. If you forgot what she looks like, here is the actress playing Bria:

BRIA'S INTRO STORYBOARD

This is the first storyboard that I've drawn out for the beginning of the opening. Since I'm not the best at drawing, I decided to not incorporate as many pictures but to focus on camera movement and shots/ angles descriptions. There wasn't a lot of space for me to write so I summarized what I was trying to say but I will type out the details I wanted to include for each part of the scene under each picture.

BOX #1:

The camera will tilt up to Bria riding her skateboard and she will have her hands in her pockets. Then an extreme close up will show her blowing a gum bubble and popping her gum. 

BOX #2: 

After the extreme close up of Bria chewing her gum, the camera will zoom out from the close-up and become a long shot of her hopping off of her skateboard and walking down the street of a neighborhood.

BOX #3:

From the long shot of her walking down the street, the camera is going to pan from the front of Bria to the back of her head and I'm hoping this comes out the way I see it in my head because I plan on using this as a cool transition to the next location. Fingers crossed!  

BOX #4:

The camera remains in the same position at the back of her head and she walks towards the gym which becomes a long shot.

BOX #5:

The scene then cuts to a midshot of Bria continuing to walk towards the gym and chewing gum. An eye-line match shows Luana standing in the parking lot with a screwdriver in her hand. Luana winks at Bria which is seen from Bria's Point of view.

BOX #6:

A midshot captures Bria's smile and the long shot that follows shows her walking towards the gym entrance doors and she opens the door for Victor. She enters after him giving a fake smile all shot from a midshot of both charcaters

BOX #7:

The scene cuts to a long shot from behind Bria walking on a treadmill. A low angle shows Bria's focused face and an eye-line match reveals the bad guy working out oblivious that he's being watched by Bria.

BOX #8:

The scene is going to cut to an over the shoulder shot of Bria in the parking lot witnessing Victor at his car shocked that his tires were slashed. Bria decides to ask him if he need help and this is filmed as a close up of her face. The next shot is an extreme close up of the tracking device that Bria placed under Victor's car after fixing his tires. This is the last shot of Bria's introduction!

Portfolio Project: Rough draft of script

Just a quick FYI: The things in parenthesis are for me to look back on when I'm filming. The character dialogue and the narration voiceover are going to be playing throughout the duration of the scene. You might have figured that out once you started reading it but I just wanted to explain so that you are aware. Alrighty here's the script!

THE SCRIPT: Rough Draft 

Zora's voiceover: Meet Bria. She's the baby of the group, but don't let that fool you because like they say, age ain't nothing but a number. She's the fiercest 15-year old I've ever met. Our leader aka our mom adopted her when she was 10 years old after her biological parents were murdered in front of her. She developed severe PTSD so she chews gum to keep her brain distracted from her symptoms. She's the serious one, when we're on a mission she's laser-focused on one thing and one thing only, taking the bad guy down.

During the voiceover

• Tilt upwards to Bria riding on a skateboard, there's a close up of her chewing her gum and popping a bubble. The sound of the skateboard is profound as well as the rock music that she is listening to in her earbuds. The music playing in her earbuds then switches from diegetic to non-diegetic sound.

• The shot then zooms out from the close-up and becomes a long shot of her riding her skateboard down the street with her hands in her pocket looking unbothered. She hops off of her skateboard and starts walking down the street

• The camera then moves from the front of her to the back of her head and this is the transition that I will use to show her walking towards the gym

• Bria looks over at Luana who is in the parking lot (Eyeline match then POV shot). Luana winks at Bria (Pov shot). Luana pops the tires (low angle) and then walks away

Bria: Hey, you need help with that?

(She changes his tires and while working on it, she implants a tracking device under his car. She walks away and pops gum while rolling eyes)

Zora's voiceover: Luana, she's a total sweetheart. She's the epitome of charisma and sunshine. Luana has two sides, the sweet loving side, and the merciless crime-fighting ninja side. Our mom adopted her after her biological mother immigrated to America from Cuba when she was an infant.  Her birth mother was in an abusive relationship and knew that she had to protect her baby girl so she left Luana with our mom. She feels compelled to help those who can't defend themselves and she fights like an elegant beast.

Valencia: (Valencia is speaking very loudly on the phone) There's absolutely no way! She's out of her mind if she thinks I'll let her wear my Louis Vuitton's!

Zora's voiceover: And that very obnoxious creature right there is my sister Valencia in her natural habitat (environment), the mall. Valencia was adopted into the group after her wealthy parents decided that they were unhappy raising a girl and treated her like a modern-day Cinderella. Our mother was undercover as an elementary school science teacher and had a feeling that Valencia was being abused so she looked into it. Her intuition was right and since money was their only motivation, she paid for Valencia's freedom. But just because she was no longer physically living with her wealthy family doesn't mean she gave up her luxurious lifestyle. Her parents transfer money to her bank account every month to pay her to stay away I guess.

(Jump cuts of Valencia in her bedroom doing different things while on the phone like sitting on the bed, doing her nails, etc. She has a robe on and is wearing a face mask)

Zora's voiceover: And that's me, Zora, I'm the oldest of the 4 of us and I am also the leader of this group. As you can probably tell, we fight criminals that take advantage of innocent people we avenge these victims. We were all at some point in our lives victims of wrongdoings so we take our jobs very seriously. I succeeded our mother's position as the leader of our group after she died fighting against the biggest villain of all time, cancer.

Zora's voiceover: Meet our latest bad guy, Victor Lin, he's a mafia leader that launders money through the H.E.L.P. organization which aids expecting mothers and mothers with small children with receiving the health care and other resources. Since he's behind this scam, women weren't actually getting the services promised. So once we were made aware of the situation, we hunted this guy down and have been watching and planning.

Victor: Before you do anything irrational, I have something to say. Your mother isn't dead. Surprise!

(Victor's speaking part is shot from a high angle and the camera will be panning to the left while he talks)

Portfolio Project: It's Script writing time!

 I've decided that I'm going to challenge myself and I'm going to try and incorporate elements of the second film opening version with the first. I want to make an attempt at this because I believe that if I plan everything out precisely and I go into the film and editing process with a solidified plan, I will be able to fit both ideas in the 2 minutes that I've been given to work my magic.

You're probably thinking, "Be realistic kid! There's absolutely no way you'll be able to cram two film opening concepts into one cohesive story and fit it all in 2 minutes." and to be honest, I'd agree with that statement but I'm not allowing myself to think that way! I have two awesome ideas that I want to use in my film opening and I'm going to take a risk because I don't want to play it safe with this project. This is my final piece and I want to be able to look back on it and be proud of what I've accomplished so I'm fully invested in it!

The script for the film opening is one of the most important components of the production besides the composition of shots that make up the film. This script is only the basic outline of what I want the voiceover to sound like and include.

SCRIPT OUTLINE

This is the first very, VERY rough draft of the general script which incorporates the voiceover introducing each character. It's an organized mess but I understand the way my mind works and this is my writing process, it may not be the neatest, but this is how my brain works. I'm not sure if you can see my writing clearly in the pictures so I will write out what the script says in the next blog. In the script outline, I will be including a few camera movements, shots and angles, editing techniques, etc. so that when I refer to this draft in the future I will know what to do in terms of filming and editing. The whole script won't be filled with them yet because I just want to get my ideas down and I will go back and add all of the details later on in the writing process.

I'll keep you all updated, see you in the next blog!

Portfolio Project: Who's the bad guy?

 Meet Kyle Shum! 

He's going to be our antagonist in the film opening! At first, I wasn't even considering having a male actor in the opening because I wanted it to be female-dominated but the thing is that all of the film opening concepts that I've come up with involve a bad guy being captured in the end so I had to find someone that could play this role and play it well. I've never seen Kyle act but I am friends with him and I know his personality so I think he is perfect for this role!

For costume design, I'm most likely just going to have him wear clothes that are not too extravagant since he is not a lead character. I would probably want him to wear a suit or something that looks business casual in the scene where he's tied up in a basement because when I think of high-quality criminals I think of the mafia and mob bosses. In most mafia movies the characters are dressed in suits and look very professional so Kyle will most likely be wearing something like this.

I'm going to have to coordinate my schedule with Kyle's because he is in the school's band and they have rehearsals frequently. In one of my first planning blogs when I was still deciding on the number of actresses I remember saying that scheduling would be the hardest part of the filming process because everyone is busy with extracurriculars and school but I will not let this affect the quality of my film opening! We've got this!

I'm posting this blog with the sole purpose of introducing Kyle and confirming that there will be someone playing the criminal role in my film opening! As you can probably tell, this blog was pretty brief and to the point so I'll see you in the next blog! 

Portfolio Project: Film opening concepts

Roses are red, violets are blue

I have to pick a concept and I don't know which one to choose!

Hello blog viewers! I am currently sitting in class trying to figure out how I'm going to shoot the film opening and I'm blanking so hard. It's not because I don't have any ideas but I have so many ideas that I can't decide! I have to come to a conclusion somehow so I guess I'm just going to have to brainstorm on here and share my ideas with you guys and hopefully that way my mind will make up its mind and pick a storyboard concept. (that's a funny way of phrasing it but I'm sure you understand what I mean).

First I want to type my ideas out so that it makes sense to you and me so we both understand what my ideas are exactly because, in all honesty, I don't even know what my ideas are yet. 

Film opening version #1:

This version will be highlighting all of the individual girls in their normal, everyday lives. For Bria, there would be shots of her working on a car, skateboarding to the gym and then her working out in the gym (punching a punching bag, running on a treadmill, lifting weights, etc.) all while chewing gum. For Luana's introduction, she would be dancing on a stage with only the lights focusing on her, and then she would be walking into the library and I'd get a shot of her putting money into a donation jar outside of the library and some shots of her in the library volunteering. I would then transition to Valencia in a store shopping while on the phone with someone and then show her in her room with all of her clothes laid out on the bed and her still talking on the phone. She'd be in a robe with a face mask on and just being overdramatic with her facial expressions and hand movements. Zora would be giving the descriptions of everyone through the voiceover and then she would give some background information on herself at the end. She would be sitting at her table with her computers, her wall full of papers with information on criminals, missions they've been on, etc. and it would be set up like her lair. They would all then walk as a group in slow motion and open up a garage door with a man tied up to a chair with duck tape around his mouth. They would walk upon him and he would start wiggling around scared and then the music would cut out and the screen would go black.

Film opening version #2:

This film opening would be of the girls on a mission about to take down the bad guy. It would start with Luana walking her dog and following the criminal, she would pop the tires of his car outside of the gym. Then it would cut to with Bria working out at the gym that the criminal is at and watching him closely. Bria would leave the gym when the criminal does and once she sees him notice his flat tires, she'd offer to change his tire. She would fix the tire but would secretly implant a tracking device under his car. Valencia would enter an elevator with him and her hands would be full of groceries. Valencia would be talking to someone on the phone about an undercover deal that is going to happen later that night. This would pique the interest of the criminal and he doesn't know it yet, but he just fell into the girls trap. Later in the scene, I would want Aneesa to be in the driver seat of a car and watching the bad guy's house. She'd be using binoculars and on her computer looking at all of his information like bank statements, personal information, criminal records, etc. Since she's a highly intelligent hacker it makes sense for her to be on a stakeout and using her hacking skills to hack into his housing system and cut off all the lights and electricity in his house. The scene would cut to him tied up in the garage with all of the girls surrounding him and he recognizes them from earlier that day and realizes he's been set up.

Film opening version #3:

In this version of my film opening, all of the characters are going to start out walking in slow motion as a group in their crime-fighting costumes. I would want Aneesa's voice over to start giving background information on Bria first and then all of the other character's introductions would follow. They'd end up in a restaurant and Luana would go to the criminal undercover as a waitress and both Valencia and Bria would be hostess. Once they see the criminal enter the bathroom all of the girls would follow him into the bathroom and surround him. The scene would then cut to the criminal in a dark room with a mask over his head and the girls would take off the mask revealing themselves to him and then they'd close in on him.

Actually, now that I've written all 3 ideas out, I think I'm going to go with the first film opening version just because I like it a lot and I think I can do it. I really like the idea of the second one but when it comes to pulling off this type of film opening, a lot is required production-wise. It wouldn't be impossible but it would be pretty difficult to film and edit so I think the first option would go good visually with the voiceover and the filming and editing process will be so much more enjoyable. One of the biggest things that I took away from the video we watched in class about storytelling is that you have to actually enjoy your concept because if not, you won't be motivated to put forth an effort to improve it. I love the second concept but when it comes to enjoying the filming process, I am going to go with the first concept. One thing I can do is maybe figure out a way to incorporate some elements of the second concept into the first but as of now, I am going to be sticking to the first concept.

I think I want some sort of plot twist or something that adds shock value to the end of the opening. I think maybe having the criminal say that he is actually their mother's son or that their mom isn't actually dead and he knows of her whereabouts, I'm not sure yet but I definitely want something to be said at the end that really takes the viewer by surprise.

Alrighty that is what I wanted to cover in this week's blog posting because I've been going back and forth on it in my mind for the longest time and I'm still not 100% sure that I want to do the first opening option, I'm like 90% there but again I don't want to be satisfied with the concept, I want to be in love and over the moon about it because that will make this entire process more enjoyable and I can be proud of my final result! I'll keep you all updated, see you in the next blog!

Portfolio Project Planning: Part Three!

Meet the cast of my film opening!

Aneesa Williams- Zora

Caroline Anderson- Bria

 

Claudia DeJesus- Luana

Keira Valentasis- Valencia

 

All of the actresses picked the names of their characters from the list of names I gave them. I wanted them to pick their character's name because I wanted them to be excited and feel a personal connection with the character they are portraying. I want their honest input on all aspects of their individual characters starting with their names all the way to mise-en-scene elements like hair, makeup, and costume design.

A brief synopsis of each character:

Zora 

Age: 19 years old

Overview: She is the leader of the group and had a deep connection with the previous leader of the group aka their mother. She took the death of her mother the hardest because she was the one that adopted at the age of 12 (after her mother was killed in a car crash), trained and taught her everything she knows about fighting and essentially saved her. Zora always uses logic and reasoning and possesses a level of maturity that some question because of how young she is. She is a computer genius that has incredible hacking skills. She is the "brains" of the operations and is quick on her feet when it comes to unpredictable situations. She is able to analyze information quickly and give the rest of the team commands and plans for missions that always ensure the defeat of the bad guy. Because of the death of her mother/ leader and being the oldest of the sisters she feels a great responsibility has been placed on her which she handles very well. She is the provider for the group and has become the maternal figure for the girls even though she's a few years older than them.

Bria

Age: 15 years old 

Overview: She is the serious one of the group.  She doesn't talk much but when she does speak it is important and she does not take her job lightly. Since she is the super quiet and reserved one of the group, she has a mysterious aura. When she's on a mission she is focused and because she has PTSD from witnessing her parent's murders when she was 10 years old, she has to chew gum constantly to lessen the effects of the symptoms she has. The girl's mother adopted Bria after she tried breaking into her car to steal it then later found out she was living in a group home for juvenile delinquents because of her destructive behavior. She is also a tomboy that loves working on cars and other auto mechanical jobs that require her to use her hands. She has an emotional wall that she's put up and still struggles with opening up to people, sometimes even with her sisters, but she is a teddy bear and occasionally lets that wall down and shows her not-so-mean side. Bottling up her emotions and isolating herself has become a coping mechanism for her that her sisters have learned to accept. She keeps a journal detailing every single one the criminals they've defeated so she likes to keep a count of everyone they've taken down.

Luana

Age: 16 years old

Overview: Luana is a Latina with a goofy personality. She is sweet, passionate, cares a lot about others and is very supportive of her sisters. She has a big heart so she volunteers at food drives, animal shelters, hospitals, etc. She works at the local library and on Wednesdays and Thursdays, she reads stories to children in the community. Their mom adopted Luana as an infant because her birth mother was an immigrant in an abusive relationship and she didn't want her daughter to get hurt like she did. She never knew who her birth mother was but she knows the basics of who she was. She wants to see the good in people but when victims come to them and share their stories, she feels compelled to help them the way she knows how. Luana has 2 sides, the sweet, loving side, and the merciless crime-fighting ninja side. She fights like she's dancing with the criminals because that's one of her favorites hobbies if she wasn't a crime-fighting, she'd be a dance instructor.

Valencia

Age: 17 years old

Overview: She has a very loud and over the top personality. You can hear her before she even enters a room and is the drama queen of the sisters. She can be aggressive but only when she's provoked by criminals or if she's mistreated by other people. Being walked over is not something she is accepting of and she is very vocal about her opinion. Her extreme personality is very apparent so when they are on missions she has an interesting way of fighting, she talks to the criminals while fighting. She can talk your ear off and maybe annoying at times but her sisters love her anyways. Valencia belonged to a wealthy family that wanted nothing to do with her and mistreated her. Her adoptive mother took notice of this while working undercover as a teacher at Valencia's elementary school and offered Valencia's parents a lot of money to have them turn over their parental rights to her and basically paid for Valencia's freedom. She was adopted at the age of 8 years old and doesn't

I think this is a good start for the characters because I can build off of this and make tiny adjustments or additions if I need to their personalities, background stories, etc. but I am very satisfied with what I have come up with for now. I don't think I will be deleting elements of the characters traits, I will most likely make additions in the future. I am going to get the actress's inputs and see what they think of their characters. I tried to match their character's personality traits as close as I could real-life personalities so that they would not have to force the acting and can be themselves. The backgrounds of each character are obviously exaggerated to give them more dimension and relatable qualities.

This is going to help me write the voice over script because I will have something to refer back to when writing the background information of each character.

Here are some costume design ideas that I think would work beautifully with each actress:

Zora:

Zora is the leader of the group so I want her to stand out and what color stands out more than red! If everyone is wearing mute colors and she's wearing red, then the viewer can visually tell that she is an important character than was meant to stand out. Since she is a computer genius and is logical I envision her having a business sense of style. She's 19 in the film opening so I want to keep her trendy and not looking too grown up so these pictures are very close to what I think Zora would wear.

Valencia: 

Valencia has an outgoing personality so I want her style to be a defining component to her character. The thing is that I don't want her costume to be too distracting and take away from Zora's costume. Since Zora is the main character and she's narrating the story, she needs to be the center of attention visually when they're in a group. That is why I am having some trouble figuring out what to put Keira in because her character's costume has to be bold but not too bold if that makes sense. The pictures below are an example of what I'm considering as costume options but Keira and I are going to have to discuss it further to reach a final verdict. 

Luana:

I want Luana to be in shorts but I included the third picture with the utility pants as a possibility because I don't want to completely disregard it as a choice. Both me and Claudia agreed that the shorts would be a great option because of the rhinestone fishnet component. Since Luana is a sweetheart and a beast, the fishnets would complement that personality trait she possesses. She would not be in a leather jacket like in the first picture, it would just be her in a tank top, shorts, and the fishnets with the combat boots that I bought for her to wear from the thrift store. I included all 3 of these pictures because they all have articles of clothing that we want to incorporate into her costume: the tights/ boots combo in the first picture, the rhinestone fishnets/ choker in the second picture, and the tank top/ combat boots in the third picture. The fur coat in the second picture is nice but I don't think I will be able to find a fur coat like that in South Florida so I'm not really worried about looking for one.

Bria: 

I definitely think that Bria would wear this kind of outfit based on her background and personality traits. The leather jacket is a MUST and I already bought it from the thrift store yesterday so that is already confirmed.

Of course, I went on Pinterest to receive inspiration for costume designs. The pictures are just inspiration for me and we are going to make adjustments so their costumes will not be identical to the pictures I got offline but it's a start. I want the costumes to be more than just wearing an outfit, I want it to look like something a group fierce crime-fighting women would wear. I don't want to take the easy way out and just have them all wear black, I want to take my film opening to the next level and incorporate actual mise-en-scene costume design elements. These looks are personalized for each character, I know the actresses and I believe I have a good idea of what they would feel confident in and even more importantly comfortable in.

Because I want the costume design to be just right, I understand that I may have to create some of these costume designs from scratch. I have to do multiple fittings, measurements and make adjustments which I will document when we get to that point. I am going to plan a day where the actresses and I try different costume looks and finish assembling their individual costume pieces. My mom gave me permission to go through her closet and look for accessories and pieces that may work for the character's costumes. Like for example, I may find a scarf that's fabric works for part of one of the costumes and I may decide to utilize it differently than it was intended for. Certain things like that that require a large amount of creativity and out of the box thinking which I absolutely love!

Have I found... what I've been searching for?

I found two songs today that I listened to and immediately fell in love with! I think these songs will fit the opening and make it sound really cool! I found this really cool website called Artlist and they have a catalog of music that you can license if you have a membership. I signed up for their 30-day trial so that is how I was granted access to the songs they have available.

The two songs from this particular album I found on the website are called "Believe the hype" and "Do the math" and I'm excited to start working on the audio aspect of the opening. These songs are both in the rock genre which I find hilarious because I wasn't locking at genre on the website, I was just scrolling through the "mood" list and found this album. Even though I found these songs that doesn't mean that I will stop searching for songs to use. I still have to think about diegetic and nondiegetic sounds to use, sound effects, and other sounds in addition to the music.

I still have a lot to figure out but I think I'm pacing myself well! The project is starting to come together, I have my final number of actresses, the costumes are halfway done, and the music is almost confirmed! This week is bound to be chaotic due to schedule conflicts, creative mental blocks, and indecisiveness but I will do my best to minimize the amount of stress I will be placed under and to keep you guys updated on all of it! I'll see you in the next blog!

Portfolio Project Planning: Part Two!!

Music for the opening:

Okey dokey! This is one of the components of any production is the sound element! The sound projects that we've done in this class were actually some of my favorite assignments because I find it so fascinating how sound can take your production to the next level. I think it is so much fun and a film's soundtrack can make or break the production. It is so imperative that the music captures the essence of the scene because if it fails to do so, the scene will not have the intended effect on the viewer that the director desired. It is such a crucial and detail-oriented part of the production process and I can not wait to research songs and experiment with different sound effects and possibly create a Foley stage to enhance the sounds in the opening.

I'm pretty certain that I will not be choosing a copyrighted song because of how long it might take for me to be granted permission from the artist so I will be researching royalty-free music first. It's the easiest way for me to find music that I can have access to immediately. I also need time to edit the music and add sound effects to the audio so the sooner I find the song the better!

There isn't really a specific genre of music that I want to research but I do know the sound that I'm going for based on the atmosphere of the film opening. I want to find something that is upbeat and fits well with the voice-over narration that will be playing during the scene. The song really does have to be as close to perfect as possible because it has to accurately convey the message that the actions in the scene are. Another thing that I can do is mix songs together if there are certain parts in one song that I want to incorporate in the audio.

The overall scene is going to be very fast-paced and intense so the song has to match its energy. I chose to search rock songs first because when I think of rock I think of high energy and intense sound so I  wanted to listen to some royalty-free songs in this genre. I would like for each character to have their own theme song that plays while the voiceover is giving their background information so I searched royalty-free rock songs on youtube and found some good ones for me to start off with. I will be using audio transitions like swoosh sound effects, for example, to transition from each character's theme song and this will be a cue that the narration is going to move on to introducing another character.

So far these are the possibilities for music:

We also went looking for film locations today!!

My mom drove us through Margate, North Lauderdale, Coral Springs, and Pembroke Pines to look for good filming locations. We drove through neighborhoods and local areas that we thought might work for settings in my film opening. It was raining today so we really weren't able to get out and walk around these places to find specific buildings or anything like that but it was still really fun getting out of Weston and exploring different parts of South Florida. It is a completely different world than the one I'm used to seeing every day and that's why I enjoyed it so much! I really liked Margate and North Lauderdale because they are close to each other and these areas match the settings I'm envisioning for my film opening. 

Here are some pictures of the areas we drove through in the different cities today:

I don't know if you can see it well in the picture or not but we saw three rainbows today while we were out! It was so cool, okay continuing on with the blog...

We also went costume shopping at the Salvation Army Thrift Store at their Pembroke Pines and Margate locations!!

Shopping is literally one of my favorite things to do! I had the basic idea of all the actresses costumes so I was mentally checking off the list of items I need for each character and they're not completely finished but 75% of the costumes are complete minus some accessories.

Salvation Army Thrift Store: Margate location

Thrifting was a blast and such a success because I had help!

I tried on this leather jacket that I thought would look amazing on one of my actresses!

My sister trying on some articles of clothing for me... reluctantly.

My friend sent me some photos of her in black tank tops and this is the one I liked the most!

I thought that this mesh top was so cool! I still have to figure out who's going to wear it.

Today was such a fun day and I can't wait to complete all of the actress's costumes! We did have some setbacks because of the rainy weather today but we improvised and we still managed to get a lot accomplished which I am so grateful for! I still want to continue looking for music and hopefully make a decision soon but I don't want to rush the process because it is a critical element of the film opening. I will keep you guys up to date on how things are going with everything involving the project, I'll see you in the next blog!
