Production Blog: Refilming and Rethinking My Creative Vision

Today, I had some concerns regarding my creative visions. Hence why I didn't have too many final shots on this day, as I felt the need to seriously rethink my creative direction. A lot of the goals and things I wanted to achieve in this final project had some limitations in terms of execution. Especially the scene in which there's a parallel between the clock and the girl: the light rotates around her face which replicates the movement of a clock. As I was filming that scene, I find it was incredibly hard to recreate what I had envisioned in mind: It was hard to control the lighting as I was using a flashlight to film the scene. The lighting in that scene wasn't the greatest either. Ultimately, I think I'm going to run into this problem a lot. So, I decided to go back to the drawing board. As of now, I'm creating a new storyboard. 

I wanted to be more realistic about my execution. The problems in my storyboard was that there was too much going on in the storyline. This film was only two minutes, and it was very unrealistic for me to have different events going on in my storyboard. Also, in the scene where the character physically had to go outside at night was incredibly hard to film because of lighting. So, in my new storyboard I'm planning to just have everything occur inside the house.
