Major Project: Finishing Act One and Two

In this post, I will detail the second part of my progress on my major project, which is to write a 10-15 page script with the theme of grief and loss. This post mainly focuses on finishing the first and second act, in which I've completed the script as far as 9 pages. 

In page 2 and 3, I added a new section involving Kate and Javi in the office. Compared to the first one, which only included Javi appearing in the scene and telling her that her work is rejected, this section includes a preview of  that scene, which is Javi giving the assignment to her. 



In page 4 to 6, I added back to back scenes of Kate struggling in the office and Jane struggling with her own emotions. Here, I put more emphasis as to why Kate's work got rejected, mainly because Javi distrust her because of her husband's death, preferring another worker's drawing. This points out how Kate herself has started to lose her drawing abilities. I also mentioned about what Kate's work is, which is about drawing. As for Jane,  I added a brief conversation between her and her new friends, involving what she feels about her father's death.



In page 6 to 7, I added a new section about Kate and Rebecca briefly talking about Kate's struggles in her office. Then, the conversation became heavy as Rebecca stated how George, the man whom Kate's husband saved, contacted her and wanted them to meet him.



In page 7 to 8, I added a scene in the bed. The high angle shot of the bed in this scene is the same as the scene before. In the scene, Kate and Jane's conversation mainly is about Jane's struggle to express what she feels about her Father's death and forgiving George. Here, there is a subtle implication to Kate asking Jane what she feels about forgiving George, which is that Kate wants to justify her negative feelings for George to her own child. 

The next scene after that involves an ambiguous scene of Kate in the office. It seems that she is frustrated about something. That said, I wanted to imply how she is frustrated between her work and about meeting George. I will be adding more into this scene later. From scene 8-9, I added a part of Jane and Kate visiting Rebecca's house, where Kate and Rebecca will meet George. I added a brief detail on why Rebecca accepted George's offer, which is because she wanted him to feel responsible and so that he remembers John. Lastly, I also added a part of Jane trying to express what she thinks and feels by drawing with crayons on a paper.



After finishing Act One and Two, the next post will be about writing Act Three and Resolution of the story, as well as revising Act One and Two.

Website Research: Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke

Image
In this post, I will look into two websites by filmmakers and compare both of them. This research will help me on creating my own website by considering the use of colors, layout, typography, image, useability, navigation, and my overall thoughts on the website. I will be looking into Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke's website, with both being filmmakers and quite experienced in the filmmaking industry. I would like to learn from two websites of two very different directors, with Kore-eda a 60-year-old filmmaker that is internationally known, and Cooke a young freelance filmmaker. Hirokazu Kore-eda's Website First off, I will talk about Hirokazu Kore-eda's website. From the home page, the website looks very simple, with a showcase of stills from his films. I noticed that his website only consists of Top, News, Profile & Works, as well as Message in the navigation, with the layout being centered and in a long bar. When I scrolled down, there is his twitter feed, news f

Website Creation: Gallery Page

Image
In this post, I will talk about the process of creating my Gallery page for my website. Because the layout of the gallery page already exists, I don't have to choose a template. The font I will be using Avenir. I began by editing the "My Gallery" section on top, then I wrote a short description on it as well.  Moving on, I moved on to the projects. I deleted most projects that the website has, and included my project, which is Grief & Loss Script, a 10-15 page long script on the theme of grief and loss. In it, I also included pictures of my script and my Milanote. In the future, I will be updating this project section with my progress on the script. After finishing the "My Gallery" desktop page, I moved to edit the mobile version. I changed the title to 24px and the description to 14px. I also tried to change the size of the project since it's too small, but after trying it, the size can't be altered.  With that, I had finished my Gallery page. Check

Reflection: Moments of Sorrow

Image
I gained an interest in theme of grief and loss through films and through my own concerns. I feel that the theme itself is very heavy, and is a challenge to write because of its complexity. However, I wrote this story for more personal reasons. I often thought about whether or not I will be ready when people I loved died, and how I will be able to move on from those moments of sorrow. As such, I feel that this is personally a way of preparing myself to face that fear. Along with this, I wrote this story because I want to not only understand the nature of grief and how it affects people, but of how we can move forward from an unforgettable loss of a loved one. As an aspiring filmmaker, I am very much eager to learn about all aspects of filmmaking, especially writing which I view to be the most important aspect of films as its often the core of the story and film itself. As such, this project has helped me to do more writing, especially in terms of having to fit the story into only 15 pa
