She's coming out of her cage and she's doing just fine!

Hey everyone! Many things are underway! When Daniel and I met up this past Friday we created a storyboard draft for our film introduction! Then over the weekend Daniel, being the ambitious and artistic genius that he is, made a clean digital version of the storyboard on Photoshop (which are the photos below). He also made a sketch of what our character, who we officially named Jasmin, will look like. We discussed what we would want the set design to look like, the costuming, and the props which we would need/need to create. The props needed and our set is an extremely crucial element of our film, because they are highly representative of our character and very much needed in presenting her accurately (but I'll talk about that more in the next post).

While Daniel created a digital version of the storyboard, I wrote a very basic draft of the script! It is still a work in progress and it is not nearly in a proper format, but here is a special sneak peak of what I have so far:

First/Gun scene-

Jasmin: So. We meet once again. Face to face. Fake to Fake.

You know you think you're a big deal huh? You're some big shot?

Sure fooled me.

BUT THATS ALL OVER NOW ISN'T IT

It's been over for a long time...
I just didn't realize it

Well not anymore...

It's been nice knowing ya

First/Claymation scene-

Jasmin while playing with the stop motion set: Look at you. You're a star. It's your big moment. Now just stand still- perfect! They like you, they really like you! Now just a little to the right. Good-great! Give me sad give me pouty give me-
*SHE COULD MAKE MOVIE REFERENCES

Mom: Jasmin!

Jasmin: Yes! *continues playing with set*
Where were we? Ah yes, you being absolutely brilliant that's what! Just slide a bit to the left now and-

Mom: JASMIN!

Jasmin: WHAT!

Mom: Come downstairs! Johns here!

Jasmin: Okay coming!
*gets up from set and walks towards center of her room* "Just gotta choose my outfit..." (at the end she says it slowly as she looks around her messy room)

*While choosing her outfits with the jump cuts she could be saying things like "no" "nope" "nah" "ew"   "UGH" and when she finally chooses her outfit she says "voila!"

*Jasmin is about the exit her door and whispers* "I'll be back for you later"

I need to make a lot of changes to this unofficial "draft" and make it in the form of an official video/audio format script (which I intend on working on during class tomorrow). I also need to make a shot list! I found some advanced shot list formats which I can use as an aid, as they are incredibly necessary for any type of production. One can never be too tedious in the planning of their film, as every single meticulous detail matters in order to make one's vision a reality.

Until next post,
