9/23/13-9/27/13

This week, I began the first drafts of the story board and shot sheet for Agnus Sleeps Over.

(I'M PUTTING THIS IN ALL CAPS SO I MAKE SURE THAT YOU SEE THE LINK ABOVE IS THE LINK TO THE BEGINNING TO MY SHOT SHEET.)


I forgot how difficult and how focused you have to be to do a storyboard (After my lovely experience during last years film) I forgot how much I suck at drawing, and I also forgot that storyboards are much easier to do when you have a shot sheet. I put down the storyboard for now, and I am going to put my time into perfecting the rest of the shot sheet next week. Once I have a very clear idea of what I want for each shot, I will attempt to *shivers* draw. 

I figured out that the best time for shooting would be during November break. I will work with Brett on editing during that week because he has premiere and I do not. I do admit, I slacked off a little bit this week when it comes to blogs because of my SAT classes, schoolwork, and Girl Be Heard, but prioritizing my time better is something else I need to work on this year. I do believe, however, that I am in a good place, and will be prepared to shoot even before my shooting day.

9/16/13- 9/20/13

This week, I completed writing the entire script for episode 2 of Angus (web series)


https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DhlVTg0jyEskFdL1OZPArVHkJz8foi-aJMiZBXfV0yw/pub


From Monday- Tuesday, I did my sloppy pre-writing that was in the same doc as the actual script, so it ended up getting deleted. I know for next time to put in a different doc so I have my process. On Wednesday I spent an hour writing, and on Thursday I spent 2 hours.  Friday was the day that I planned to look over it and do re-writes, but as of now, I am very happy with the script. It has been emailed to the actors. I am using mostly the same actors as the first episode, and as of now everyone is on board.

I think that I got everything that I needed done thus far, plus more. I thought I was going to have to spend at least 2 weeks writing the script, but I was able to cut that time in half. I may make edits as problems start to come up, but I am confident with what I have. I unofficially have a makeup artist for the eyebrow portion of the filming. She's in cosmetology and I have seen her makeup work in the past. I also have ideas for location, which would be my house, outside of my house, a playground/park in Old Bridge, and the school. The only issue I see with the script is getting clearance to use the school hallway after hours, but I am going to wait until I figure out scheduling to ask about that.

To make up for Tuesday/Wednesday, I spent one hour yesterday and one hour today brainstorming for a new play idea I have.
