Entry #7 - due March 28

Gabby and I have finally finished the script and found people for our main cast, which consists of three people. David Medina will be Alex, the main male role. Sierra Choyce will be Lena, the main female role. Casey Lloyd will be Hana, Lena's best friend. Finding the cast took a while, but now that we finally have one, we can start filming. Our first filming day will be on Saturday, April 12. We are planning on filming all the main scenes that day. And other scenes that need extras, such as the party scene, will be filmed on a different day. We still need to figure out where we will film everything though. Once we figure that out, I think everything will be easy from there. Also, I think we are going at a pretty good pace. Filming will take two, three days tops. We can probably finish editing the whole trailer in a few days as well.

The picture below is from the script of the final scene in our trailer. That is probably the scene I am most exciting about.

Entry #6 - due March 14

For my movie trailer, I've been writing the script and planning for the filming.

My pitch will be sent in as a video. I am just going to briefly be talking about what I've been working on for my movie trailer for Delirium. Some links to the stuff I will mention are:

1. http://filmmakermagazine.com/37093-first-impressions/#.Ux_5S-ddWJk
2. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/jun/16/how-to-make-a-movie-trailer

Both of these links are websites I use to help me learn how to make a good movie trailer. It gives me tips and advice on what to do and how to do it.

3. http://delirium.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters

This is the website I use to read the character descriptions in order to know how they would act in real life. This way, I can tell the actors how to do certain scenes.

4. http://www.ehow.com/how_8210139_write-trailer-script.html

This is the website I use to gets tips on how to write the actual script for the trailer. It helps me think about what to put in the trailer and how to plan all the scenes.

I am confident in my pitch, but I do not really have a product to show the class yet. This is because me and my partner, Gabby, have not started filming yet. We are still working on the script, but we are trying to finish it in the next week or two. Honestly, we probably haven't finished it because we want it to be perfect so we aren't sure of the scenes we want to include in it. We are determined to finish it soon though, so we can start filming already. During my pitch video, I will probably insert a few pictures of our script for the class to see.

Entry #5 - due March 7

I have changed my 20% project idea since my first blog entry, so the links in that entry are irrelevant now. Although, Gabby and I have been using a couple links to help us write our script. We use the links to help us remember the characters and the book since we read it a few months ago.

The links are:

1. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11614718-delirium -Goodreads

We used the summary from this link to help us write the beginning of our movie trailer. The lines of the script are similar to the summary on the link. It helped to get our script going. I found this site through Google.

2. http://delirium.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters -Delirium Wiki

This link lists the characters in the book. When we click on a character's name, it takes us to a page of the characters descriptions and relationships with the other characters, so it is very helpful to us. We look back at this when we write the script so that the lines are something that the character would actually say. Also, it will help our actors to act like how the characters actually are. I found this sight through Google.

3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=336qJITnDi0 -Divergent Theatrical Trailer

This is the link to the trailer for the Divergent movie. We are using this for inspiration to plan and write our script. I found this site through YouTube.
