1. PERSONAL: "Eyez" is a story about some of the memorable moments in my life, more of the bad ones really. This story in a sense is a timeline of my life, it explains what brought me to where I am now. Since this piece is so authentic, real and raw in my head, it is going to be extremely hard to make, because what goes on my head imagination wise is crazy and sometimes impossible to make. So I know I have to stay grounded and make sure my message is understood.
2. WORKING STATEMENT/HYPOTHESIS: "The eyez don't lie", is the statement. The message I will try to portray in my piece is about how people don't use the eyez to view people, they choose under things like skin color and culture differences. If we all would just view each others by the eyez how different would the world be? That is my message, and I will portray this through the everyday discrimination that people due to one another. I want the audience to understand my concept and see the actions and reprcussions that can happen by not "looking people in the eyez".
3. RESEARCH: My research for this product is myself, I lived it, but for my story I will use live stats about how people judge one another by all types of social statuses like; class, race, sex, etc.
4. ANXIETIES: That I get too frustrated that I can't show whats in my head for my project. I want it to be a exactly how its in my head, but I know I don't have the time and other things to make it that way. I want to feel satisfied about this project, this is for me.
5. TOPIC: "Eyez don't lie." Do not judge people by apperances, try and read the eyez. In the end life is what you make it, stop and take a some time to look yourself in the eyez. Can you yourself? Do you love yourself? Why are you here, what is it that you have to do on this planet to change or affect the world? Trust me it doesn't have to be always big, your failure can lead to greatness.
6. BACKGROUND: BryanLee Bonds. People in general and the things we do to view and judge other people.
7. CHARACTERS: I think actually need to do a casting call for this one. I need two females with the right look for the parts. I need one male who looks shady. I will finally play a part in one of my shorts. Debut.
8. CONFLICT: Conflict? What does this mean? I will always make a way.
9. STRUCTURE: I want this to be as close to a short film as possible. I want to catch the vibe of movie that I would go see at the theatre. I also thought of making a muzik video, I have played with it, but I really have not come up with a solid decision yet. It is between the two though. I will probably make both and then decide which one states the my message better.
10. CONTENT: Everyday events that could happen, simplicity. People interactions with other randomly but them all being tied together in the end.
11. STYLE: I want my scenes to be smooth and cut quickly to the next. I want it to give off a strong vibe, sincercly and emotionally. I would also like to develop and incorporate my own twist and style in this short.
12. AUDIENCE: People. Every color, class,sex,etc. Whoever wants to "see".
13. RESOLUTION: That everything has an effect, and that things happen for a reason. And obviously that the eyez don't lie.
14. LOGISTICS: I have already set up request for equipment and I have started to look for the parts in the film. Everything else will come from me, and I know things will change as I progress with the making of "Eyez".
