Production- Analyzing Day 1

 Hi blog! As we are going to begin shooting for our film this week, we decided it would be important to gather all of our elements considering setting, props, and costumes. In my previous posts, I mentioned things like letters and forests. As we began to plan for the film opening, we decided to keep a few elements the same but also use other ideas we came up with along the way. 

Scene 1: 

We decided that we wanted the first scene to have no dialogue and just show the process of the girl (Luna) getting home before her day has a turn of events. We wanted this scene to look casual and almost as if nothing was out of the ordinary. 

Location:

This scene will be at Luna's high school, and it will show how she is casually dismissed in school. We want to include this scene because we wanted the audience to feel as if she is just any ordinary girl, which will later reflect as time goes wrong that there is something "off" going on with her life. We are trying to make this scene relatable for the young adult/teen audience so that they can get hooked on the movie.

Props: 

As previously mentioned, we are trying to make this scene look casual and "normal" to the audience, so we decided to use some basic normal school supplies/ essentials of a teen girl. The items we used are:

 




In the first scene, Luna can be seen using her notebook and is writing things down right before her class ends. You can tell that Luna is concentrated but also bored, which makes it seem like it's been a long school day and she's ready to go home. She is also seen checking her watch, which later cuts to her putting away her stuff in the black backpack. All these key components don't play a major role in the whole story, but it does set the tone and hook the audience. What we are hoping to do for the audience in this scene is get them to relate to Luna's life.

Costume:

We decided to incorporate two individuals in this scene, one being Luna (the main character) and a side character that won't be fully introduced within the film's opening. Both of them will be in casual teenage attire to appeal to the target audience's interests.

Luna: 

In this first scene, Luna can be seen wearing a normal outfit to represent how just any ordinary day can take a turn of events. These costume pieces work together to show that she appears as a normal girl, but in reality, there is a deep secret going on in her life that will slightly be unveiled later on.
