Where’s Waldo :(

 My Waldo is gone :(, aka my partner Mariana Sanin. She is off to STN a film field trip for the television program in our school. Our school time apart makes me miss her and our effective brainstorms, however, I believe it’s good that we get some time to individually work on “Summer Lovin”, to generate more ideas to debrief upon when she comes back.

Right now, we’re both focusing on the shot list we’ve started. I’m not as good at envisioning shots as well as Mariana, due to the fact that she’s more film and editing oriented, while I like doing more of the behind the scenes work. 

Here’s our shot list so far:

    Although I could finish this right now, I decided to do something more enjoyable today since 

    I don’t have my partner in crime to help.

    Since we already have most of the casting, I decided to do the story boarding and mise-en-scene

    for the main characters, as well as the two others that are shown for quiet sometime in the film.

    
    
    

    
    

    These are the mood boards I've created for the film!

    Howie is displayed as a more vibrant what my generation would call a golden retriever vibe with

    priorities and ambition,

    while similarly yet differently, Nati is a lovergirl with drive and a more introverted "black cat" vibe.

    To go into further depth, Howie is a typical teenage boy,

    despite the fact that he loves the idea of love. Whether it be family or a relationship, it's what he 

    wants in his life at all times. 

    He has a strong love for food which the audience will learn more about later on. He enjoys 

    wearing different colors and likes all colors. Regarding the normal teenage boy qualities,

    he loves sports, cars, and of course, the gym. Nati on the other hand, is a more timid gal. 

    She likes to carry herself in a more chic manner, as opposed to free spirited. Don't underestimate her though,

    she'll have her moments. Love and romance has been something she's longed for for a while, 

    she's always had difficulty finding it.

    She loves simple colors, coffee, and food. You'll never see her wear anything besides gold as

    it matches her aesthetic best. Black is her ultimate favorite color, along with the other ones 

    presented.

    Overall, they're both free spirits

    that express their divine auras in different ways.
