VCDM 475-555 Weekly Production Report #11

This week was the eleventh week of my VCDM 475 course that will ultimately guide me in making my Senior Thesis to showcase next semester.  

I managed to actually get some filming done for Guy Vs. Grade. I casted one of my friends in the role of Guy and we spent Thursday filming a good amount of scenes with Guy in them. My original plan was to film the scenes with Mr. Grad. E  first since he's in the film less but unfortunately another friend of mine who agreed to play the role had gotten sick and couldn't do this any filming this week. 

Things only got worse when he told me that he got COVID meaning he won't be able to do the role at all. I told him to get some much needed rest with hopes that he'll feel better.

Because of this, my plan now is to have Guy and Grad. E be played by the same person with filming on different days. Because my friend is only available for two days out of the week, Tuesday and Thursday, the goal is to hopefully film the rest of the Guy scenes on Tuesday and film the Grad E. scenes on Thursday. 

I'm trying my hardest to get everything filmed before I have to give the equipment back my November 21st. 

I'm extremely anxious right now as the return time gets closer and I'm just hoping I can get everything filmed in those two days.

Senior Thesis Inspiration: For Whom The Booth Tolls

One of the core inspirations for my Senior Thesis is a Mickey Mouse short by the name of "For Whom The Booth Tolls". The short is one of many created to make a take on Mickey that goes back to his more mischievous and fun roots.  Directed by Alonso Ramirez Ramos, the short follows Mickey and Minnie on a trip to a peaceful garden resort. Things start out fine until Mickey realizes he doesn't have a quarter to pay the toll booth and soon has the guilt of not paying hung over his head. Things only get worse when the toll booth may or may not have have an affect on Mickey's reality:  While I can't go AS far visually as this short does because I am working within the medium of live action, I would like to be able to capture a similair unmistakably comedic yet still suspenseful tone as well as coming up with fun ways to portray the anxiety of my main character's dilemma visually like how it is done here. It's very brilliant stuff.

VCDM 475-555 Weekly Production Report #1

This week began the start of my VCDM 475 course that will ultimately guide me in making my Senior Thesis to showcase next semester.  While I don't have anything to really show for in terms of my Senior Thesis Film at this moment, I took the time to revise my pitch for the thesis yesterday. Originally I had turned in my pitch for a previous course and upon re-reading it I decided to make things more clearer in terms of what I am trying to achieve with my film.  After doing some revising I turned in what will be the final pitch for my film. I look forward to getting into the development of it soon.

VCDM 475-555 Weekly Production Report #4

This week was the fourth week of my VCDM 475 course that will ultimately guide me in making my Senior Thesis to showcase next semester.   This week we discussed the basics of what goes into making the script for our senior thesis films while currently  writing for them as well. I had already turned in my treatment for "Guy Vs. Grade" and touched it up, right now I'm currently writing the first draft of the script with plans to turn it in on Monday.  I feel like since I was so in-depth with how I wrote my treatment that writing the script has been a bit easier for me.
