New Project, New Ideas

Today, we began planning for out other project. As we all agreed to do a Lana Del Rey song, we were all inspired to give her loving lyrics a twisted angle. I heard the song "Serial Killer" by Lana Del Rey and I began to actually listen to her lyrics, and I looked them up. The lyrics for this song are actually very disturbing. She says about how she is so obsessed with a guy and how she'll do anything like "get into a fake bar fight" to get this guy's attention. Lana Del Rey has a very interesting view on romance, with this song she has an "unhealthy obsession hidden under a sweet beat and chorus". As i read these lyrics, I began to conjure ideas on how to expose and abuse this hidden factor in her song "Serial Killer". I came up with the idea for a music video that makes the singer/main character to have a creepy stalking complex, but the obsession goes a bit too far. The video would consist of a girl who is attractive, yet creepy singing and acting in it. The video would be part promotional, and part narrative.

It's Almost Done

The final edited version of our 2 minute film opening is almost complete. I'm honestly pumped to see how this is going to come out since this is the first time I have done this. I want to see what I look like acting as a stalker, I feel like this will be an interesting story to tell in the future to people. I'm pretty impressed with myself, I've never really tried this before and I'm excited to see the complete version. We still have to think for a name for the whole piece, which is a whole other deal on its own.

Director's Commentaries Part 1

Today, my group and I met and we began to plan out our director commentaries. We all divided up the scripts since we all did different things in the piece. I, as the main actor, wrote out about what I had to do acting wise and I also gave a bit of back story to the viewers. I spoke about how many times we had to re-do a scene, and backstory.

WE FILMED

Over this weekend, my group and I filmed. We filmed for an entire day and we got some pretty cool shot and angles in and I'm very excited to see the final cut. We filmed in a total of about 4 different locations over the day and night. I acted as the main character in the two-minute piece, and I don't want to brag, but I feel like I did a pretty decent job. Luckily, my group and I worked diligently and we managed to set everything up. We also managed to finish filming in one day, now we are editing the final piece.
