While discussing the project in class before filming, we are realizing there are a lot of moving pieces that are uncertain. For example, at this time we don't know if we are going to be able to use the house in Surfside to shoot (owners renovating); and we still don't know if we can get the equipment we need. We are feeling like we bit off more than we can chew. However, the team agrees we like this idea, and are willing to stick to the original ideas and do the work necessary. This project is something we are all passionate about, and we feel we can do the project and attack the challenges one task at a time. One team member is a senior, and realizes this is his last film project in high school, and he wants to go hard on this project, his last hurrah!
Hey blog! Today my group and I started brain storming for the plot/story of the film opening. we are having some trouble coming up with ideas. The re-occurring problem that we were running into was that the duration of the opening was only two minutes, and all of our ideas were too complicated to fit into a two minute opening. The two minute maximum for the opening forced us to constantly change the ideas. It challenged us to condense whatever we could by cutting out unnecessary parts from the plot. If it did not help pull the plot of the story along then it wasn't included into the story. My group and I looked to the film the mid 90s for inspiration. The movie is about how a 13-year-old spends his summer navigating between a troubled home life and a crew of new friends he meets at a skate shop so we have an idea of the direction we went to go toward!
