Greatings!

Well, here it is, my first Senior Media blog post! Huzzah! Super exciting I know. Well, let's get down to it. This semester I have decided to commit to paper an idea for a screenplay that I have had for a very long time. The comedic, feature film will follow three criminals and a host of other characters, none of whom have any idea how to appropriately, truthfully, or clearly communicate. I could also describe the film as The Three Stooges meets Sugarland Express. Over the last year, I have taken numerous, random, unorganized notes on different thoughts I have had for this film. So this week, I have pooled all those notes together and fashion an eleven page outline for my film, which is very exciting. Able to see the film actually starting to take shape and seeing the rhythms and pacing starting to work is quite energizing. I have now begun to really dig deep with the characters, asking fundamental questions like: What is this person's deepest desire? What is this person's deepest fear? Why do they make the decisions they do? Ect. From there, I am accordingly making changes to the outline to better round out the characters, give them more satisfying character arcs, and ensuring that they all have proper motivation for the words they speak and the actions they take. That is all for now. Until we meet again... Good night and good luck!
