We About to Get This Party Started...Maybe?

     So hello again my lovely readers, I'm sure these blog posts are a source of great joy for you, as they are for me...moi,  trying to sound like a sophisticated blog writer is exhausting, I'll just go back to my high  school lingo, so like anyways....I finally have real reporting to do on our film, the script is in production. Well actually it's in the process of being written by moi, I guess I can put in some French here in there to make this blog post sound more legit, but yeah it's actually being written so that's a definite plus!
     I have decided our main character is named...wait for it....drumroll....Penelope, yes I know it is an absolutely amazing name, partly sophisticated (I really like saying that word today) yet innocent. She is a cancer patient who has been pretty much sentenced to death. We're basically trying to focus on the way people interpret death, some act as if it isn't going to happen this character is represented by her mother, some don't want to face it, and some are just annoyingly depressed all the time, this would be Penelope. In the first scene she will be like a doll emotionless and sickly just sitting there while her mother bustles around her nagging, and waiting on her hand and foot.
     So that's the beginning I don't know what's gonna happen in the middle yet, but all I know is she's going to end on the beach with her acceptance of her death and the short future she has ahead of her.
That's all folks, see ya next time on the next episode of the "Young and the Filmless".

Oh Wait...So He's a Girl Now?

     So here I am, back for another round of complaining about film but really who's gonna read this blog anyways so I guess it doesn't really matter if I sound annoying. But for those of you who may have read this blog before you know the gist of what my posts tend to be about. I talk about the films we've watched, the assignments that are due, the assignments I normally don't complete....So yeah...

    But back to this post so this week in film we watched a 90's British film called Orlando and I have to say it was actually sort of interesting but, it was also super weird at the same time it's about this British dude named Orlando and the movie basically takes you through his/her life...yeah I did say his/her...because basically halfway through the movie you come to this one scene where Orlando wakes up with boobs and a vagina.....So to say that was awkward is certainly an understatement it was definitely a "WTF" moment for the books.

     After we watched this movie we started working on the film that we're supposed to produce by the end of the year and let me tell PP step #3 is going to be a huge pain in the ass. Were actually gonna have to prepare for it, instead of starting the day before like we normally do. When I read those directions my first reaction was "Poop"....Yes I did say poop because seriously, how else can you describe a poop sandwich like that?

      It seems like this year that's all film has been, one poop sandwich after the other....Countdown to Winter Break commencing now.

     

Continuity is Important

     So here I am at blog post number three, I guess it's good that I'm keeping up with this blog, sometimes I feel like I use this thing to vent about film rather then write about it. But anyways so this week...what have we done this week. 

     Well we're still not very close to starting our film but we did complete PP step number 2, which was basically further planning for our film. Apparently we decided to do something nostalgic and depressing complete with flashbacks and a homage to 400 Blows in the closing scene, yay for being creative! 

     Haha anyways, so yeah we did that yesterday and then we did more research for our Independent Studies, mine evolved from women prostitution to strong female centric films from Greece and Sweden...By the way Sweden has no shame, I mean seriously like every film I looked for from that place was practically soft porn I ended up having to change my ideas like three times when Dr.Adams said they were innapropriate. Although I can't say that he was completely wrong, I legit saw like four sets of nipples yesterday...Super awkward to say the least.

My Life is Over Part Dos

     So this is our blog's second post, I guess I should update you on the progress we've made on our film....Funny joke considering we haven't done anything, we still don't really even know what we're doing but as the writer I feel that I should also keep up with the writing on the blog as well as the script (when we actually get down to writing it).
     So here's me keeping you posted, first of all we watched some weird ass film called Uncle Boonme something something, I don't really remember the entire title because I really didn't have any interest  in the movie although, that's partly because I missed the first hour of it but, whatever it was still boring. After watching this film I have a new appreciation for Tree of Life, at least it had a good soundtrack and no subtitles.
     Oh wait, let me to tell you about last night, so in Film this year we actually have to do work i.e. doing this blog, making a film etc. Well a part of this whole work thing is we have to do notes that are made up of 60 terms that you have to define, as well as cite your source and say the significance of your term. So after splitting this up with Gabe and Tina I came to the conclusion that I want to kill myself and Gabe because he didn't read the damn directions so I had to copy and paste his definitions separately because he didn't put it in the template that was given and then he didn't even write a significance. So then I had no time to do the quiz that close at 11:59 last night. So thanks a lot Gabe...I hate you.
