Planning the CCR

 The moment has arrived… it is time to finally plan the Creative Critical Reflection. I created some notes that are going to be essential during this whole process. The notes show what content the CCR will be following but this will be explained more deeply next week. The notes can be seen below:

As of right now I just need to edit the flash forward clips to make them more notorious and creepier. I also have to edit the lighting of some clips, and shortened the whole film. I’ll keep you guys posted. The time is running out!

Filming day was a huge success

We have finally finished filming everything and I have already started editing the project. As of right now I have all the clips put together however the duration of the video is more than two minutes and everything that was recorded is essential in order to create meaning. It’s going to take me some time trying to finish everything and cropping all the clips in order to make the film two minutes or less. 

This experience has been incredible, I had so much fun recording with my friends, they did such a good job and I can’t wait to have the final draft ready to show you guys.

As of right now I can only show you the poster I have designed for the movie. 

Script for scene 2

 This is the finished script for the second scene of the film, where the girl arrived at the camping place.

END OF SCENE 2 

Storyboard

 Hello my fellow film lovers. Here’s the second scene storyboard completed. Let me know what you guys think! 

Script for the first scene

 After designing the storyboard I have came up with a script that would fit this scene perfectly which I’m going to share with you guys. Let me know what you guys think, if you guys like it leave a comment and if I have enough comments that approve it I’ll continue with the second scene of the film. Give me feedback! 

Late noon around 6-6:30. Outside of Annie’s house. Annie playing soccer. Emma loading the trunk. Charlie doing homework. 

Annie: “catch!”

Charlie: “BRO stop!!! Why would you do that?” (Annoyed) 

Emma: (COUGH) “Um… hello?”

Annie: “oh okay… sorry…”

Maggie: “Bro I’m so done, you’re literally so toxic like you never let me spend time with my friends and right now we are so late because of you it’s literally dark” (on a call)

Annie: “Bro stop we are literally so late, hang up” (annoyed)

Maggie: “k I’m done” (hangs up)

Annie: “stop doing homework and let’s go, you’re driving” 

Maggie and Emma: “let’s goo”

Charlie: “are you guys ready?”

All (unison): “yesss let’s gooo”

End of scene 1 

Storyboard

 Something super important before filming is having the storyboard ready in order to make the filming process smoother, therefore I have created the storyboard for the first scene. 

Incorporating flash forwards...

         Now, for the second scene, they will be arriving at the park where they are going to camp. They quickly set up everything and they start investigating the place. Annie will go by herself into the woods and she'll get a vision of her screaming scared and desperate in the same spot she's looking at, but then she comes back into reality as Emma calls her to go help them set up the camp. 

        Flashbacks or visions of the future are key in this film in order to develop meaning since the purpose is to advance the story since the film should be a maximum of two minutes and there's a lot to cover.

        The scene will continue with them having a good time but then the night will come and they will set up everything to go to sleep, Annie feels this weird vibe in her and she asks them if they feel a weird vibe from the place and they all deny it. They go to sleep and Annie wakes up in the middle of the night and feels this need of going to the same place where she got the vision and she has it again but this time its more intense and more real, she starts screaming and yelling and wakes her friends up they console her but this time they are scared as well. And then Emma gets a vision as well as soon as she touches Annie when consoling her, of her and Charlie screaming and crying, and then a medium shot from their perspective will be shown of Maggie laying on the floor unconscious. 

        For every time they get a vision the lighting will be darker and their clothes will be darker as well. The film will end with them consoling Annie telling her to try to go back to sleep, and then them going to sleep again, and then a close shot of Annie as she tries to fall back asleep. And the final shot will be of the dark wood.
