Critical Reflection

This is the time where I think back on all the bad choices I've made.

Befriended

Final project is finally done. I am so glad this is over...

(Not) Filming

So we were suppose to start filming today but my actors are the most unreliable people I've ever met because both of them cancel on me an hour before my plan. I am so angry! My whole schedule got delayed a day and I have things to do, but I decided to make this work on my favor; today I'm going to make my set even better and more disorganised, I''l put more things in the map. Everything will be fine...hopefully.

Set

So I created my set today. I went to home depot and bought a map of the United States and put it on my dad's office. Then I got pins and sticked it on the main places were the investigation font and put a string connecting them all. I also wrote the credits on post it notes and put it all over the map. The desk right next to it is messy and has things all over it. I based it on many sets that I've seen on Dester - a show about a psycho killer who selves murder- and it looks just the way I want it to be. I'll start filming tomorrow.

Actors

So I finally found my actors and I'm so excited to begin filming! I had to hunt them down one by one and it was probably the hardest thing I've done so far but it was forth it. Here they are:

Rodri Lesende-Erik Castillo 

Dylan Costco- Charlie Beckham 

Characters

Hey guys! So I already have the stories and the actors and the location and pretty much everything EXCEPT the characters and their personalities (good job Ana!). So I guess this is the time for me to tell you all about Charles "Charlie" Bekham and Erik Castillo. Charlie is from North Carolina, borned and raised, by the end of high school year he made the life changing decision of studying criminology. Right after graduation, he found a job at a local company but before he knew it he got relocated to Miami.  He then finds himself working on a case that he can't solve. Erik Castillo was born in Miami, he was always a lonely boy and never had any friends. As time went by he started talking to some people online. making his first friend at the age of 21. He then starts to obsessively talk to them until he scare them away. Erik then makes his life goal to befriend them again, he tracks them down and kidnaps them one by one.

On with the research Pt. 2

   I have to confess something... I haven't seen all films mentioned in the last post and I'm ashamed. I just haven't had enough time and I've been so busy with school and- Well I'll watch them. From the ones I've seen, though, Chinatown is definitely my favourite. I love the way Roman Polanski takes a simple character and a simple plot and twists it to a bigger scale.    
   The film follows private detective JJ 'Jake' Gittes played by Jack Nicholson- which makes the movie 100 times creepier by itself-  who specialises in matrimonial cases. He is hired by Mrs. Mulwray, played by Faye Dunaway, to find out if her husband is cheating; but when she is found dead late that night Jake is sucked into a web of murder, incest and corruption.    
    Only having limited time both on and off screen I won't have such a complicated plot, but I do want to have a similar tone to this movie.
