Let's make something wierd

So here we go .

I am about to make a film that is wierd , and edgy , and artsy , and just wierd .

This is a HUGE step for me .

I always have these ideas of outgoing things yet I do not apply them within my actual production.

The funny part is that , I actually do question the normal . I do .

Since this is my very first short film  

I have to be honest , I am a bit nervous to do something that questions the status quote .

I am .

But I am ready to get to get artsy and edgy .

The truthful question is why not make something different?

Let's make something wierd .

Now I have to admit

Ok . Ok .
So here is the thing  ,
Obviously I have had to change some of the script scenes in order to fit my characters points of view better .

As you guys have seen in my postings for my storyboard and script  , you have seen that each actual concept of the short film seems a bit cliche .

After speaking with my instructor about my idea , she opened up a lot things that I have to think about . One of them being ,
"Stay out of your comfort zone " .
I always want to but when it comes down to it , I always go the same route .

Why not try something weird?

Why not try to  make something different?

WHY NOT?

Why not make the whole entire film a film about questioning everything?

Why Not?

The possibilities are endless and I am glad the my instructor helped me to understand that it is ok to be different . It is ok to do something wierd .

So here it goes . Here is my new plan

QUESTION SOCIETY .

And ACTION!

   Hey guys! So today I started filming ! I got to say , using a DSLR for my first short film that I have ever done before is a bit intimidating but after my first couple of tales , I got the hang out of it and now I realize that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life (If God permits) .

Here is a little bit of an introduction toward my cast .

First up is my main actress
     Ladies and gentlemen give it up for Sophie Diebold .

As I was thinking about who was going to be my main character for my short film , I noticed that Sophie would be the perfect fit towards my main character who's name is Mary .

Meet Sophie
16 years old with a passion for filmmaking and acting . The perfect fit for my Mary .

Next Up we have Alyssa
15 years old with a passion for acting .
As I was trying to get my supporting lead actress , I ran into Alyssa . As I saw her role playing attributes I knew that she would be the perfect "mean " character  .

I wanted these two characters to have a dramatic yet "chill" type of field that would enhance my target audience by making sure that my actors would be speaking the way that teenagers speak today .
I also wanted to make it look as natural as possible .

RESEARCH AVENUE PART 4

TEEN DRAMA

AS I HAVE CONTINUED TO BRAINSTORM DIFFERENT WAYS TO PORTRAY MY IDEA THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE , I DECIDED TO LOOK UP SOME EXAMPLES OF TEEN DRAMA THAT REALLY CAPTURES THE HEART OF TEENAGERS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ,

ACCORDING TO RANKER.COM , THESE RANKED MOVIES

1.THE BREAKFEAST CLUB (1985)
-COMING OF AGE DRAMA

2.A WALK TO REMMEBER (2002)
-ROMANTIC DRAMA

3.EVERYTHING , EVERTHING (2017)
-ROMANTIC DRAMA

4.THE FAULT IN OUR STARS (2014)
-ROMANTIC DRAMA

5.DIRTY DANCING (1987)
-ROMANTIC DRAMA

THESE TOP FIVE LIST CONSIST MOSTLY OF ROMANTIC DRAMA MAKING THE FEMALE PORTION OF THIS TARGET AUDIENCE ABDOMINAL .

-THIS IS A GREAT INTRODUCTION OF WHAT I BELIVE THAT MY FILM SHOULD CONTAIN DO TO THE ABUNDUNT AMOUNT OF DECISION MAKING WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING A TARGET AUDIENCE .

~THE ROMATIC PORTION OF THIS CONCEPT IS ONE THAT I HOPE WILL BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE PEREPCTIVE OF A TRADITIONAL ROMATIC DRAMA .

RESEARCH AVENUE PART 3

TARGET AUDIENCE -

AS THIS WEEKEND PASSED BY, I WAS THINKING OF WHAT THE EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR MY TARGET AUDIENCE WOULD BE.

-MY PURPOSE IS TO COMPLETE AN INTELLECTUAL MESSAGE TO MY AUDIENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY FEEL SOMETHING.

~I WANT TO GET THE ATTENTION OF YOUNGER AUDIENCES BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD. THEY ARE THE NEXT DOCTORS, LAWYERS, DIRECTORS, AND LEADERS OF OUR WORLD.

-I WANT TO INSPIRE THEM. I WANT THEM TO BE INSPIRED BY WHAT THEY SEE ON SCREEN.
                                   

                                                  TARGET AUDIENCE
                      AGES- 15-19
STANDFORD CHILDREN'S HEALTH INCLUDES AN ARTICLE THAT EXPLAINS THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOW AN ADOLESCENT THINKS.
THE ARTICLE STATED

            "During these years, adolescents increase their ability to think abstractly and eventually make plans and set long-term goals. "

THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF HOW I WANT TO TEST THE MINDS OF TEENAGERS. HOW THEY THINK , HOW THEY FEEL AND WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED IN FONT OF THEM. 

THE ARTICLE ALSO SUGGESTED SOME IDEAS OF HOW A TEENAGER THINKS  BY LISTING A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT STATISTICS TOWARDS THE THOUGHTS OF THE YOUNG MIND.

RESEARCH AVENUE 2

     Another film that has inspired me to choose the DRAMA genre would be the film ,
                                                  ENEMY (2013)

While watching a rental movie, he spots an actor in a bit part that looks like him. He becomes obsessed with finding out about this double of his.

This film is an excellent example of what I want to create . A sense of questioning existence and the ability to understand the reasons why we are who we are . 
To understand what is our purpose in life and to question wether our reality that we know to be real is actually real or not . To propose the actual question of "Is life an actual portion of truth"?

Another film that lead me to focus on the Drama genre is 
                                    

                         Stay (2005)

-Characters who become obsessed and manipulated by other people's most prized outlook on life . Stay is a great example of human beings as they are being influenced by what they are absorbing from others and how judgment is the key in this world to some how "FIT IN" . 
Stay (2005) | IMDb 6.9Enemy (2013)  | IMDb 6.8

RESAERCH AVENUE

Before going into details on production and post production ,
It is time to hit Research Avenue

       My film will be based on the DRAMA GENRE .
Here is a little history on my genre

Drama films are serious  representations of certain situations that occur within the life or lives of a specific character and or characters that  impact the audiences in their emotional feelings .

Here are some examples of different DRAMA films that have inspired me to make my film on this genre .

The Miracle Woman (1932)
The Miracle Of Our Lady Of Fatima (1952)
The Nun's Story (1959

Poema De Salvacion(2009)
This movie touched my heart . A Drama based film , The salvation poem describes a story about a young man born in a Christian Family that because of his father's absence  , falls into the hands of the devil as he joins rocks bands making his mother Carmen turn to God for guidance  . This is an inspiring story that has led me to want to share my faith through my upcoming film . I recommend that you guys check it this film! It will inspire you to conquer the impossible with your faith .
