The Start of Filming

We had to carefully plan out how we were going to film our film sequence. We ran into a couple of difficulties because one of my group members couldn't film with us because his parents wouldn't allow him to go outside because of the pandemic so, we had to advise a plan on how we were going to film because he's a big part of the film sequence and also has the most important so, if we don't have him in the film it will be pitiful of us. So, we came up with a plan to have that member film himself separately and edit it in the film so it looked as if he was with us while recording. We also asked Franco to help with the editing since it won't be much work for him since he's not going to meet up with us to start filming our film sequence. The week of the filming we couldn't film because some people had some family problems at home so, we couldn't film for the week so, we had to push it back to the next week.

 StoryBoard

The storyboard consists of 6 different scenes of the film sequence. The first scene is me reporting an event that happened that was tragic and making it comical. The second scene will be JJ whose the second reporter covering another important event that happened early in 2020. The third scene is of Jadha reporting on the racism that is happening in America and how it has affected the African American community heavily. Then we get to the fourth scene and this will now be reported by Franco in his scene he will get up and close with BLM protest and will even be asking questions, basically asking questions. Then the fifth and sixth scenes, which are the dominant scenes of the film sequence. The fifth scene will be having JJ and Franco recreating the election that happened back in November and making it into a light-hearted joke. We will be having JJ as the representative of the democratic party then have franco a representative of the republican party, and I will be the moderator. All of the scenes will be humorous but not offense to not have to deal with the interpretation that this film will be full of judgments.

 SCRIPT

This is merely a sample of our script. We are proud of our script because we all decided to come together and lay together our ideas for the script. There is more to this script than what I just presented. Me and JJ will be the reporters of the film. Our inspiration from the news is CNN as it was one of the main news channels reporting on everything that took place in 2020.

We used this script as an example of how the script format is going to appear like. My teacher also gives us another example of a script which we also used. I search images of scripts and saw that they were also utilizing the same format. All scripts incorporate the dialogue, transitions, parenthetical, characters and transitions. Our script makes or breaks a film as its one of the most significant parts of the film, so we made sure our script is brilliant.

 *Change Of Plans*

There a change of plan on how we are going to produce this film. My group has decided not to perform an animated opening because they felt like its going to take many months to create an animated opening. As an artist just trying to sketch out our opening will take a couple weeks, but now to take the sketch and try to make it real is going to consume more than 3 months. We also found out that a mix of horror and comedy is called a spoof. A spoof is "a mocking imitation of someone or something, usually light and good-humored" or a parody. We also changed the direction the movie will be proceeding, are setting is a news station and we will be broadcasting everything that took place in 2020. We will incorporate the election, the pandemic, the fires and etc.. Everything will happen in the news station while we transition into different scenes. Our inspiration at first was 'scary movie' and 'Bride of Chucky' but after some serious consideration we selected a different path. We are making sure that our film will be a light hearted comedy and mostly parody. When everything is done, our film will be up to par.
