1. Interview Questions: I have and will continue to ask family and friends random questions about how they view other people before they even ask them a question or speak to them. What goes through their minds as they try to judge a person, and by doing so do they look them in the eyez, or do the eyez even matter to them. Have you or someone else you know ever been a victim of racial profiling or racism.
2. Shot List: I have begun to shoot the random scenery shots. I have also filmed most of my part that I will be playing in my movie. I want my shots to be from angles that people usually view other people, you know, face to face. I have also played with shot selection by scenery and what and what not that I want the camera to pick up and capture in the movie.
3. Style + Elements: My movie has sort of a dark theme, so I wanted a dark setting, but shooting at night has become a problem for me, because of time and clarity of the actual shots. I have shot most of the movie around sunset, and I think I will stay around this time setting. I will use the actual sounds from the shoot, I also have played with shooting a silent film, but I have not yet come to a conclusion.
4. Storyboard: My storyboard is a some really rough pictures and videos I have made showing what I want the movie to look like in the end. I also have my entire movie and script written down shorthand, but so far is has been changed on the fly several times, and that is the way I like it. Change is good sometimes.
5. Composition + Form: I will be using words and stats. I want to capture as many eyes as I can. They are the starring role. Pictures, video, music, vocals are the bare necessities that I need, and are using at the moment.
6. The Field: It has been fun. I like playing the director role. It has its frustrations, for example for the last couple of days weather has ended my shoots prematurely but who I am to complain about the weather? I still have to make cast changes because some of my cast members are busy or do not like the part they are given. I am still trying to find the right chemistry of people and how they can help relay my message the best.
7. Reflection: I am still not done but this experience has been a good one. I can actually see myself doing this as a career or something like it. It comes with its gripes but when you can handle the gripes and still have fun doing with you do, you have found something you love, and I don't really like saying the L word too much, I think I might, I might...nah I don't know yet, so for now I lust this whole direction thing and making movie process.
8. Improvisation: Love improving, it can make or break your film. That's why I keep the camera rolling because you never know what you might get and what you can use. Free flow is my way so my project will see changes everyday, it depends on how I feel, you know? Like I can continue to write about this or I can go work on my project... I guess you know my decision.
