Turn of events

 A you know, we had already got together with my group and began recording or film opening. Once we where done we collected all the shots and did a rough draft of what our project would look like. I don't think I have ever felt so stressed in my life. We did not like how it turned out, nothing about it: the shots, storyline, or even the quality. We didn't know what to do, and we were running out of time. When we put all the clips into Capcut to see how it would look quickly, the story felt too resolved, we knew it wasn't what we wanted. 

We all sat down and began to brainstorm on a way to fix this. We thought that the story felt super rushed, it didn't feel like a film opening, it felt like the whole movie had gone by in 2 minutes. We decided that cutting off the unnecessary parts of the story was best, and made a whole new story board to follow. Here is a picture of it.

We came to an agreement that we were going to get rid of the whole scene in school, in the car, and Maddie walking into her house. We just want to focus on when she is in her room. We also decided we are going to make everything more slow paced, everything happened so fast in the rough draft it didn't covey the feeling we wanted. We agreed to meet up in 2 days and record everything.

The story was now going to go like this. The film opening starts with the production studio clip, which Santina created in canva, its called "Look for Productions." Than there is going to be clips of components in Maddie room that will appear in the opening, the diary, the portrait with her dad, the calendar indicating its summer, and the board with the pictures of her friend who moved. She is going to walk in and lay in her bed, she looks very sad, bored, and lonely. Maddie will open her phone and text her friend for plans, she hesitates in sending the message, opens snapchat, and see her "friend" had posted a picture saying she was going to a party. Maddie wasn't invited. She got back to the chat and deletes the message. Maddie, very sad, gets up and closes her curtains, thats where we will edit in the title of the production, "Dear Diary;" The screen will fade into black and than a light will turn on, we will see her nightlight with the diary, a picture of her and her best friend who moved, and the lamp. She grabs the diary, sits down on her best, and flips the pages to find a blank one. As she goes through the pages you can see how the mood and vibe of her writing went from happy to depressing. Here you can see the diary we created:

She will write in her diary and than the same thing as before, her mom will come in and take her out fr ice cream. 

There might be a few altercations to the story line, but this is the new idea we had, so stay tuned!
