It Is All in The Details!
I am preparing to start filming soon! I think one of the most important things to consider is the filming location. The actual scene takes place on the town streets and the school parking lot, so I first considered filming in my high school's student parking lot, but then I realized I could not go out there during school hours and if I were to record after school there would be too many cars driving out or if I wait until later, not many cars at all, so I scratched that idea.
I told my friends about my project and asked for their help and one of them suggested we record in the library parking lot that is right in front of our school. I thought it was a perfect idea since the building is school-like and the parking lot is usually pretty full and if we go at the right time there will not be too much movement.
All my friends were eager to help me with this project, in fact, my friend Isabella asked me if she could play the main character, Jade. I agreed because I trust her and because I feel like she fits the vibes of the character well. As for the love interest Maia, I decided to play her myself since I have a very specific vision for her and feel like I need to capture her essence perfectly. Since I will not be recording the film myself, my other friends offered to help, but I will be the one directing the whole process and telling them what to do.
As for the props, we will be using our cars and this is actually gonna work out perfectly because Isabella just got a new car that perfectly matches Jade's vibes. As for my car, I am planning on asking my friend Sara (who loves drawing) to use chalk markers and draw on the windows of my car so we can make it more colorful and fitting for Maia's personality. We will also be emptying our cars and just putting in the things we think each character would have in their car.
For Jade, we will put a dark-colored backpack in the passenger seat with notebooks and notes. I also want her to have some kind of drink in her cup holder and a gym bag in the back of her car. I want her headphones to also be somewhere visible in her car. I think the most important thing for Jade is for everything to look organized and clean.
On the other hand, for Maia, I am planning on putting clothes, paint supplies, and even toys in the back seat. I want it to represent her messy but full life, I also want to make sure everything looks colorful when it comes to her.
I am extremely excited to start filming, I want to see how everything comes together and bring my vision to life.
