CMS Projects: Storyboard, Screenplay, Production

We’ve begun the processes of story boarding, writing the screenplay, and all of the necessities in pre-production, hoping to start filming sooner than later. We met to discuss and create the obstructive piece, deciding on how we would film certain shots and our use of mise-en-scene elements. For example, we plan to lay out numerous art tools and scraps across the area as a context for our main character, including numerous previous projects and easels which we will gather from friends, or whoever wouldn’t mind letting us use it for some shots.

The main issue in pre-production, because the storyboard is complete and the screenplay is written based on it (as there is no dialogue except for one teensy tiny human feces synonym), is the obstructive piece. Originally, the weekend was going to be dedicated to creating the piece in its entirety, to which we have made progress as to what the piece will be, what it will represent, how it will be used, and other factors. However, upon starting we realized, damn… we need a lot more paint and a lot more time. So our filming days schedule will be shifted, not drastically, but it does have its impacts.

The filming and post-production schedule will dedicate previous filming days of the week into finishing the obstructive piece (referenced as below) and using only 2 or 3 days to film. However much isn’t finished within that timeframe, the remaining shots will be completed in the days of spring break, which is our only next available time after the end of next weekend.

Our obstructive piece will take on similar elements, inspiration from this piece and Zima Blue as previously discussed, to emulate a disrupt mental connection to artistry and passion.
