What's The Film About?



The film focuses on a shut-in's phobia of leaving his room. Even when called for, he'll avoid leaving his room at all costs.

Group Members: +0

 As a surprise to no one, I will continue working on my own this year. Just like last year, I plan on completing all of my assignments on my own. Not only because of the current situation of the world, but  also because I enjoy being alone. Until further notice, that will never come, my group will consist of me alone. Last year, I took every chance I could to talk about how working on my own made some things easier. Working around any problems that came up, implementing ideas, and trying out new ways of filming were all made easier to do without having to consult a group first. Of course, not all the ideas I had were effective, but it was still fun to try them out. I can acknowledge that having group members makes filming a lot easier. Of course, I'm no where near filming yet. So I should focus on planning first. 

I remember throwing around tons of ideas on what I should do last year. I thought about doing a horror film, a mystery film, and a handful of different genres that didn't receive as much thought. I was able to fully map out scenes in my head and decide on whether I could actually do them. Doing something similar would take much longer with a group. When I heard what I was doing this year, the same thing happened. I had a ton of ideas going through my head one after another and threw out a good few. I'm still not completely sure on what to do, but I still have multiple ideas. To wrap things up, I'm working alone again. Not only am I working alone again, but I don't have a group to work with. Finally, I am completing this project on my own.

Same Blog, Different Task

 My last blog on here was on May 7, 2020. Since then, I've graduated 10th grade and am now a Junior. Just like last year, I'm taking a media studies class and are required to keep up a blog. So, if anyone's missed my blogs, you're in luck. Instead of just doing an intro to a movie, I'll be creating a short film this year. I'll have a lot more time to fill and I'm completely fine with that. In addition to more runtime, I'm also tasked with creating a website and different social medias as well.

Just like last year, I've got a ton of ideas swirling around my head and I'm excited to find out what I can and can not do when filming. I can't say I'm excited about having to keep up a blog once more, mainly due to how many I had to do last year. Realistically, it shouldn't be that much of a problem, seeing as I was easily able to keep up with the amount of blogs I had to do. However, I can say I'm very excited about having more time to work with this time around. I've said it in this blog already and it's because of my experience last year. Last year, I overestimated the amount of content I would be able to fit within the time allotted. Because of this, I had to cut out a fair amount of footage to fit it all. I have to make sure that I don't go overboard this year and film more than necessary. I'm a lot more experienced now than I was when I first started last year, so I'm confident that I'll be able to make something worthwhile. Also, I'll be better at blogging.
