Oh Boy!!!

              It is Sunday and instead of watching the final round of the Masters I went to Robert's house to film. He made the executive decision to change some of the aspects of the plot due to the fact that we have to much content for the given amount of time which is 2 minutes. This is what we changed...

              He have not changed the idea of the dog tags for the opening credits for the opening scene. We decided to change the date to the birthday of the main character. The second clip of the opening will be the main character pulling in his drive way with his new car he got for his birthday. The main character will turn the radio on and the news will be playing where he eventually hears the broadcast about the war. The third clip is the main character walking to the mailbox to open up the mail. In the mailbox of course is the draft letter telling him to go to fight in the war. The fourth clip puts emphasis on how upset he is to go to the war. The main character will walk in and put the draft letter on top of his birthday cards he just got.

               Tomorrow we are going to discuss our dog tag idea. After talking about this idea we will begin editing to polish our new film. Make it the best that we can. We are taking a big risk changing some aspects of our movie at this point but I believe that we can pull it off.

School Filming


          Today at school Robert, Alex, and myself walked around school filming for our opening scene. We filmed the main character who is played by Robert, walking into school all the way through him walking to his class. We will film some more aspects of his school life during the next class such as him listening to his teacher.

        We also applied our feedback from the other day that were given to us by our peers during our peer review session from Tuesday morning. We tried to focus on not making it seem as if it were an anti-war film.

Peer Review

       Today in class we met up with other kids. We reviewed our projects in groups of 5.

      For about 5-10 minutes I talked about my project. I got some awesome feedback from my group too. I was told that our idea of the lighting change when our main character opens up the letter was a good one. Based off of the lighting change though my group asked me a great question...

      Is our movie an anti war film?
 
      That got me thinking. I answered with no because we are just showing how someone got drafted in the war and his story of going into that particular war. The group that I was apart of really liked our plot and thought that we should not change any aspects of it.
