Working day 9

Today I kinda shit away my day, the only thing I did was figure out locations of where I am shooting the video and what actors I have are playing what part. I plan on reading up on camera shots.

Working day 8

Today I taped all the index cards on the wall outside of the STAC room. I then organized them in order and by location which helped me organize my thoughts and focus A LOT. Then I FINALLY finished writing the storyline and I am presently proud of my work. To me the idea obviously isn't original but I think its a nice story line and meaning. I also realized that I need more time to film then I expected. Thank goodness I gave myself extra time to film otherwise I'd be screwed. Starting tomorrow I am going to look it over with Luke get his ideas and then revise if necessary. I also need to figure out what locations I will be shooting at, I already have a few I know of but I need to still make some adjustments and such. Then this weekend I will be doing some reading up on shots so I have some prior knowledge for filming. I also have to ask my actors/actresses when they are available so I can make a filming schedule.

Work Day 7

I am starting to get agitated with myself, I want this video to come out really nice and I still have not finished these damn index cards. I kept thinking of different things I could do instead of ideas I already had and that kept slowing down my getting stuff done process. In the end of the day I have to get a final project done and because in my head I see what I want and wrote it down on the index cards very detailed if I want it to be half as good as I imagine I need to hurry up and get the index cards done. Basically I didn't waste the day but I was going slower (if possible) than a snail and need to get a move on.

Working day 6

Today I just about finished up how the necklace in my music video is going to end up to where it was in the beginning of the video, which took a lot of thinking and idea throwing out. I didn't get as much done today was I wanted to, I wanted to completely finish the index cards today so starting tomorrow I could type them and figure out where I am going to be shooting my video. I got all the actors I need for the video booked that they'd do it today. I mean, I wanted certain people for certain roles so I had specific people in mind for each. Luke gave me a book about shots so I am going to read the chapters that apply to myself probably sometime over this weekend or if I get what I want done tomorrow - Thursday or Friday. I also have to google " how to do an underwater shot" because I want to attempt one so badly (because I have a water proof camera) and I think it would look freaking cool.

Working day 4

Again I continued to write index cards for my video. I listened to music while doing this and since they songs playing were sad I incorporates death, I never thought of doing it but I guess it influenced me in some way. I watched vampire diaries as it is a BIG influence on me and I am starting to think the reason why I want to do scenes with raw emotion and really no speaking is because on that show everything is so intense and I look forward to almost crying, having my heart flutter, and waiting for the next thing to happen. Every time on that show when you think you know whats going to happen it flips a damn switch and you have no idea whats going on and you're two steps behind. There's obviously a lot of abuse on that show too, but more just physical with vampires and werewolves trying to kill each other and such.

Working Journal Day 3

Really I didn't do much exciting work today, just wrote more shots and actions on my index cards, got the next part of my storyline completed thanks to my community Kalli with "finish that sentence," After a necklace is sold to a pawnshop owner ___ buys it . She had a great idea I basically stole/ morphed into my own idea. I am most likely going to watch a couple movies to hopefully get more ideas for the video.
