Pre Production Materials

I think having the pre-production materials was necessary so that we had a clear idea on what exactly we wanted to shoot. Anna and I went out and did a little location scouting so that we could look around and see where exactly we wanted to shoot. I think this was also a great idea seeing as how we wanted a creepier setting and a wooded area. We ended up going to Carolina Beach State Park and found a great location. Having the Master Scene Shot list as well really kind of pulls the whole team together so we can clearly get the right shots in a timely manner. This way we do not run the risk of going over our time schedule. I think the most difficult for pre-planning everything out is getting what is in our heads onto paper and making sure that what is on paper is relayed into the filming process/final cut. Being able to get the permits proved to be a little bit harder than I originally thought. I had to go through several different people and offices until I finally reached the person who I need to speak to. They were happy to help though so that was nice!

Light Observation 2

Another place that I observed the light from was actually in my backyard. I have a giant wooden canopy that covers my entire back porch. The entire canopy is covered with Jasmine Ivy. It looks like something out of The Secret Garden . At noon when the sun is at its brightest, the ivy casts shadows all over my back porch. It's not enough to block the sun completely, but its enough to keep cool in. I admit, I take way too many pictures of the ivy and sun together. I loved how the shadows almost capture a whimsical feel when one sits out there.

Interview Plan

We are planning to do the documentary on a good friend of mine named Gary who is a drag queen. The focus of the documentary is to show to the versatility of those who do drag. It should draw people who have no idea about drag in. We plan to go over to Gary's apartment and film him as he gets into drag. Later on we will be moving to his favorite bar where other queens and people will meet too. There we will be conducting the Vox Pop. For the Vox Pop we are hoping the enough queens will be there to interview. If not, then we will go on with the public who show up at the bar. The expert interview will take place at his apartment before he gets into drag. I have made a list of questions that I would like to ask Gary. They are: What is drag to you? How did you get into drag? Who inspired you the most to do drag? Who are your favorite queens? Do you think the public will be more accepting of drag in the future? What do you think is the future for drag? What is your advice f...

Cucalorus

So for the Cucalorus film festival, I went to go see a couple of shows that weren’t film related that I ended up really enjoying. This first one of those shows was the comedy show at Dead Crow Comedy Club. Mo Alexander was the headliner for the show. Before Mo went on, there were a few others before him. Two of the performers were from Canada and both were obsessed with the fact that this was where Dawsons Creek was filmed. The other performer was from here. He actually was named Port City’s Best Comic and was extremely funny. After that Mo went on to perform and the jokes were just as hilarious. He was a bit drunk when he went on which made things even funnier and he interacted with the crowd a lot which was awesome. After the show had ended, my boyfriend and I ended up at the PsyloJo concert. They were performing at the Whiskey. The was nice and they were a Phish cover band. I grew up listening to Phish, so it was a nice ending to a really cool night.   One of the shorts th...
