Hi blog! For our film opening, we are having 3 major sets, including Sam's room, Aurora's room, and Kai's car, to immediately establish the three different characters, and the three different points of view.
The one that will take the most detail is Sam's, since we will be shooting inside the room a lot, and it will take up a decent amount of the 2 minutes. Aurora's room will be shown from outside her window, however, we still want to work on making sure the angle which we can see her room from looks in character for her, making it an important set, since it's the first thing the audience will see regarding her character. And Kai's car is mostly done being staged, as it is a basic car and the Mustang that we have access to already had minimal accessories inside and outside.
We began filming the scenes of the car, since two of our team members, Sofia and Madison are leaving for a CBTV (Cypress Bay Television) competition (STN) on Thursday of next week, meaning our original planned week to film may not work, since they will be gone for about a week. That just means that Lee and I will have to work extra hard while they are off competing, but I believe that we will work fine!
For each room, we want to establish each character's lighting, which will be a direct metaphor for the character's relationship with the real world. For example, Sam's lighting in the scenes we are actually including in the opening will have kind of whimsical and perfect lighting, as he is in his dream fantasy world. Whereas Kai and Aurora's lighting will be very natural, and not overedited, since having raw and authentic clips is another major feature of coming of age. Since the main goal of this genre is to make people feel seen and relate to the audience, we want to emphasize the normal lighting, and only make it "polished" when the techniques make sense.
