The Filming Process: UPDATES!!

Actually filming my opening was so much fun!! Spoiler alert: I ended up changing my entire script for so many reasons. I hated it and it wouldn't have been possible with the people who said they would help me. Anyway, I had my best friend as my actor and we really enjoyed working together. My new script was so much better and it felt for natural for me to direct rather then trying to do something that I didn't know the outcome. 

I love "He's Just Not That Into You" and still admire their opening, but I could have never done it as amazing and would have criticized myself too harshly. Instead, my new mix was between a 2000s teen rom com with the catchy song intro and a Disney Channel Original movie. It took me almost 2 hours to find the perfect song as I wanted one that sounded like "Perfect Day" by Hoku.

I feel like I did a great job with the creative process, the filming, and the directing and I can't wait for you all to see it!

While I didn't take that method, I still took something from the movie. The phone call interaction in the bar inspired me to translate that into our society, or at least attempt to. I found the script for the movie (screen shot below) and it was amazing. It didn't have many directions but it was really great to see my favorite movie and how it started.  Some concerns I had while starting to write my script was how I was going to fit all my ideas into my opening. Every time I started to
