Script is done

So I have exactly each scene planned out

• Wake up on bed close up
• zoom out to man confused on bed
• tv blaring 
• man looks confused
• clang is heard
• man gets worried and gets up 
• walks to kitchen
• scared, walks around
• hears footsteps
• picks up knife
• music starts
• walks stereotypically horror movie like towards the living room
• Goes near the stairs and knocks over something making the clang heard earlier
• Looks around and out of fear stabs the man running towards him yelling stop or something 
• Realizes he killed his lookalike, confused and scared goes over to where the man came running from, clutching the knife
• Looks around the kitchen I guess
• Sees himself at the stairs
• Realizes someone is about to run towards the guy at the stairs
• Out of panic decides to try and stop the guy at the stairs and runs towards stairs
• Gets stabbed
• Falls to the floor
• Screen goes black,
• Man wakes up in same room or different room (to be decided)

Work still left

A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes (major task), which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with a website for the short film and a postcard advertisement for the film at a short film festival (minor tasks).

Short Film

• Script - Done
• Editing - Starting Monday
• Sound - I've been searching through royalty free music such as Bensound, purple planet and more but what I think I'll do if I have time is work with my dad to play some creepy chords in a cool progression and I'll fiddle with it in GarageBand, adding reverb, and distortion and such.

Website

• This is a little harder and will take some time, I plan on starting it Wednesday and working at least half an hour everyday. 
• I want the name of it in big letters right on the front; "Repeat" and links to this blog and production credits

Postcard

• AHHHHHHHHHH 
• I guess the name and production credits.

Postcard And plans.

I have the design for the postcard all drawn out by hand. Tomorrow I'll do it all digitally and post it. What I need to focus on now is the website, finishing filming, and the music. As I go through filming I realized how different the vibe I want is from the music selection I've found, which is bad because I'm REALLY counting on the music to set the tone for my movie. I think I'll start editing Monday, with all my shots finished by Sunday. I'll update wth drafts and such.

final scene

So fit my final scenes I need to have myself kill a clone of myself  and for that I need after effects,  a software I've used before, but on a trial period. I'm thinking either I come up with some really clever editing or I might need to purchase a moth of After effects. On top of that the scene Asher will either be me floating in a tank. Or me waking up again, the latter of which I already have filmed. I've also busy realized I can be the main character and cameraman so I will enlist the help of of of my friends to either play the part or record.

I began to film today. I have my film script mainly decided on but there remain some sis i don't know how I'll film  I recorded the first two shots completely and three middle scene ones. On top of that I've decided I need to begin my website asap. So I plan on dedicating all of tomorrow to the website layout. I think I'm finally on track with this project.

I've been watching lots of movies lately,  and of thing I'm constantly paying attention to is hoe they create tension without dialogue. I've come to the conclusion that they use facial expressions, wick cuts and most importantly (In my opinion) music. Because of that I've carefully curated a list of possible background music,  all royalty free of course,  to maybe use in my film. The link is here

Research number two

I also watched Get Out and forgot to post my notes, but I did document them. This is what I found.

• The introduction of the movie implies a happy movie, following typical horror move tropes. 
• We begin to feel uncomfortable as the movie delved into the topic of racism. 
• We begin to see the level of comfort in the black boyfriend early on.
• The realization of what is happeneing in the movie comes slowly at first and then all at once like the tide slowly pulling you in and then kncocking you over with a huge wave. The point when I full realized what was going on was at the auction the moment the picture of him was shown.
• One thing I really liked was the parralelism in the escape scene when the father is SPOILER operating and the main character has just killed the son. The fact that we as the audience know what just happened and what each side doesn't know increased the suspense for me as well as those who I talked to about the movie.
• The parrallelism was very prominent in the movie when one compares the deer in headlights not only to the main character but also the story of his mom. It adds an element of togetherness to the movie. A motif that the audience can fall back on and think "Oh, I get that!"
