On Wednesday, we refined the timeline a bit and finished our written outline.
After some advice from Jess we filmed ourselves blocking out the beats so we could check the timing of the movie. We ended up having to cut some of our ideas and cheat by having our opening and closing scenes play during the title and credits so they don’t count towards our 20 seconds.
We also assigned ourselves production roles based on what we were each interested in leading, however we agreed these would be flexible as we all want to participate, and help where needed.
Finally we also kept adding to our Pinterest where we have been gathering ideas.
On the Friday we came together to edit Akilah’s concepts for our main character. We wanted an idea of what she would look like before we did our thumbnails so we could get the style down a bit more.
Amelia had created a more concise written outline, so we each created thumbnails for what we think the boards should look like and then we presented them to each other. I really liked Jess’ advice on ideating separately and then putting all of our ideas together afterwards in order to get more variation. On Monday we plan to pick the thumbnails we like best from each person and create our final set together in order to pitch our idea.
