Start of Planning

Planning

My biggest obstacle that is stopping me from moving forward with this project is finding one good, enticing idea for my film opening. For the past few days, I have been constantly trying to think of a good idea, and with the help of my research, I think I have begun to settle on one.

My Inspiration

From research that I did in a previous blog post, I analyzed The Perks of Being a Wallflower and gained a lot of inspiration from it.

This film follows Charlie Kelmeckis, as he goes through his struggles as being a freshman in high school. The film explores Charlie's journey with post-traumatic stress disorder, and how his life is effected when he meets two new friends. I want my film to touch on similar topics to this film like how the people you are surrounded with effect your mental state. I decided that my plot will focus on a teenage girl as she struggles to be her own person in the fabricated world around.

Next Week's Schedule

As I am approaching week 3 of this project, I will be sure to finalize my entire plot. Throughout next week, I plan to complete my plot outline, begin creating the storyboard, and to schedule out the filming process. Planning everything out will be sure to lower my stress throughout this project as well as make sure I am being efficient since it easy to lose track of time with a long term project. I am excited to see what next week brings!
