so MUCH

So much traveling, so much progress, so overwhelmed, so tired - ugh

I can't remember the last time I wasn't sick.

Anyway

I'm staying with family friends and there's a little girl her name is Maya and she has been the greatest help as I think I have honestly fully developed a plan that I intend to execute shortly following.

She's the best, anyway, let me explain my vision:

I am going to keep the whole idea of my actor getting out of bed and getting ready and everything and then moving from that going back and forth to her in therapy. This will add visual interest to a boring scene and also make the script more interesting.

This also helps with my CCR because I have a genre convention broken where a girl can be a dominate role in modeling and makes her own money!

While I'm here,

I feel like I never explicitly blogged about this so here I am:)

My film is a drama, and with this genre come certain conventions that I had to follow throughout my process. Generally, drama's are found to be serious films, they have intense plots and attempt to portray realistic characters going through relatable things in realistic settings. Specifically, there are also things to consider.

Costume:
- reflects characters personality
- troubled characters wear dark clothes

Location:
- vital to main characters life
- reflects emotions

Characters:
- developed through film
- protagonist going through something hard
- relatable

Narrative:
- realistic
- social issues
- realism
- heightened peaks

Sound:
- Diegetic Dialogue
- non diegetic voiceover of protagonist
- non diegetic emotional score music

Reflective of character personality:
- troubled characters:
          - drugs
          - cigarettes
          - weapons
          - alcohol

Editing and camerawork:
- eyeline match
- POV
- Shot reverse shot
- Fast paced editing
- close ups
- handheld camera movements

Keep in mind that some of these things I can't portray due to the fact that I am only completing the film opening.
