Onwards!

I have finally finished drawing out my storyboard!

I don't really have a nice picture because all ninety-something sticky notes are in a pile in my suitcase. 

I can't wait to put them up!

My next step is the casting portion, and I'm very happy that I'm right on schedule. I still have to advertise the fact that there will be auditions... I'll be putting two or three flyers up. I'll also send an email. My goal is to get these parts finalized before Revels Week, so that gives me two weeks or so. Kind of. 

I'm very excited because this is the part where I get to see my characters come to life. 

I'm also slightly nervous.

Yay progress! 

Thanksgiving "Break"

It's Thanksgiving break. When I say "break", I actually mean "time to work on my movie". I'm still working on storyboarding. It's taking a bit of time, mostly because having to think of every single angle and every single scene for this movie in my head is very time consuming. I know what I want, but actually drawing it out really challenges me to have these little images in my head a bit more detailed.

If that makes sense.

Here is what it looks like:

Annotated Bibliography

"11 Essential Camera Techniques in Filmmaking -- With Animated Images." Free Online Film School: Learn Filmmaking. N.p., 10 Nov. 2010 Web. 02 Nov. 2015.
This article gives me the basics of what kind of camera shots there are. It explains when and how I should use them.

Field, Syd. Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting. New York, NY: Delta Trade Paperbacks, 2005. Print
I trust this source with my life. Without this book, there would be no screenplay at all. This walked me through the steps of creating a character and developing the character. It helped me go through the stages of writing the story, and it told me the do's and don't's of screenwriting.

"Film Studies 101: The 30 Camera Shots Every Film Fan Needs To Know." Empire. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Nov. 2015.
I love this article because in addition to the thirty camera shots they explain, they also have video examples for each one.

Landau, Neil, and Matthew Frederick. 101 Things I Learned in Film School. New York, NY: Grand Central Pub., 2010. Print.
I stumbled upon this book while I was in a bookstore. The title caught my eye, and I'm so glad I found it! It gives me little illustrations and small but helpful tips. It's a nice book to refer to once in a while.

"Storyboarding Your Film." - For Dummies. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Nov. 2015.
The questions they ask is very helpful for me to consider what to sketch on each post-it note. Right now this it the most important source I am using.
