Filming necessities

 Before we start the filming of our opening, my teammate and I are finding locations to film in that will properly represent Crestwood. Crestwood is a dark and quiet city that was known for its depressing environment. I thought the area of Hollywood murals in a cloudy day will be a good place to record because its dark like appearance between the buildings around the city.

Some of the equipment we need to prepare before filming is the clothing, camera, and a stabilizer. For the clothing, I want Frank to wear typical used teenage clothes to better fit his role in the movie. The stabilizer can help the recording be more stable and look more professional that is why I believe is a must for the recording process. For the camera we are planning to use an iPhone 13 camera, but if we get the opportunity to use a higher end camera we will.

Lastly, something the project is missing, is a character analysis for frank. Having a character analysis for the characters in the opening is important so the actors properly know how to portray the characters. For the opening, we will need a character analysis for Frank, his parents (Mr.Gavidia, Mrs.Gavidia), teachers, and the shapeshifter. 

Yet again, MasterClass saved my day again and provided me with a clear guide on how to create deep meaning to my characters. In the article it was stated that making your characters someone you relate to is important to the story line because you can have a better point of view with the character. Other elements such as inner conflicts and flaws are also important to humanize the characters.
