Character Planning

-
     Throughout this week, I have been collaborating with my partners, brainstorming ideas. We need to find actors to play the characters in the film. So far, we have come to the conclusion that we need to cast a boy to play the boy on his birthday, his parents, his girlfriend, his true love and other friends as extras. We were jotting down potential people who could play these roles. We will have acting auditions to see who will fit the best for each of he characters. We have not thought of what the names of the characters will be. We have contacted most of our friends, or the actors, and informed them on our project. Everyone we have contacted is willing to participate.

Peer Feedback

After showing my product to my peers, I received both positive and negative feedback. The positive feedback I received was complimenting the camera shot we did of the note at the end. I was also complimented on the parallel editing I included with the takes going from the locker room and Mia under the bleachers. I received quite a few critiques with my film. My peers said that without my explanation it is unclear that Colten cheated on Mia. Next time, I will add more dialogue to convey what is happening. Also, I  shot my film on different days and Noah was wearing different clothes in the locker room than in the rest of the film. I will most likely re-shoot the scenes at once so they are all wearing the same clothes. We most importantly need to re shoot the fight scene, some of the fighting looks unplanned. When I edit the film for the second time, I need to make sure that I have the actors speak louder and I should lower the volume of the background music.

It challenges the conventions by using adolescents to convey a plot. It is more common for adults to appear in the drama genre because of the intensity of what the plot may be. there is an element of the romance genre to enhance the complexity of the drama. How does it represent social groups or issues? The film I created represents a social issue that affects many people in society. Many individuals in society deal with a lack of respect among of youth in the community. The effects of this could cause depression, anxiety and desolation within the social order of adolescents. The outburst formed by Noah in my film was an outcome of the distress Mia conveys.
