Production Blog: I changed my mind...

 I was talking to my dad about my commercial today. I told him about my plans to sequence my old photographs with the addition of background music. He looked at my pictures and made a great suggestion: to use some old home videos! With the inclusion of videos, I've decided to resort back to iMovie. I want to be sure the program can handle such high-volume files, and I trust my computer with that task more than I do my phone.  I started the lengthy task of sorting through the many videos. I am a sucker for baby videos, so choosing the best ones among the hours of, what I consider to be, incredible footage was very hard. I narrowed it down to about eleven clips from the early years of my life and found some on the family iCloud from more recent years. I like the clips from earlier on much more.

Title Design

The opening credits of our film will mostly appear handwritten on pieces of lined paper by the actor, but also in random places, sprinkled throughout the opening sequence. For example, the name on a drink order, the writing on a pencil, a sticky-note to-do list, the spine of a book, or the heading of a page. ● Working Title: The title of this film is likely to be “Migraine” ● For the most part, it will be handwritten in sloppy, script writing. ● Titles will all be shown, written on pages of a notebook, or panned to in places throughout the setting. They will be cut off by the nature of the fast shots we will use, cutting to the next shot and title. ● Titles will disappear after about ten seconds of footage ● We will probably be using a dark colored pen/marker for the writing on the papers, and other colors depending on the alternate shots. ● We are playing with the ideas of which roles will be in what style, or on what object. We had Amelie practice the sloppy style writing she will li...
