Another Update

   Yesterday in class, my group and I hopped right back onto the next step of the project. We collected our final ideas and brainstorming to start our shot list. We planned on using the class period to cement our foundation and create an efficient shot list that we could access during filming. When we first started throwing ideas onto the table for the shot list, we soon realized it was much harder than expected and we were getting all scrambled up and everyone was extremely confused. The problem was that not only have we never been to the location in which we were planning on filming in, but we also had no idea what the layout was for both the factory and the office was. We wanted to make a shot list but we were inferring off an idea we had and we did not know what the location actually looked like. After a brief run-through of what we talked about, one of our group member, Sabrina, started sketching the office building layout on Photoshop. She lead us through the rooms and each hallway so it could help us decide how we wanted each shot. This allowed us to better visualize the area so we could continue on. My group members are going to visit the location this Saturday anyways but having an idea of the location helped us tremendously. Sabrina also informed us that there was birthday decorations hanging up so it could be a perfect use for us to add more to the idea where our main character is abandoned. Since we were struggling on how to make our character seem isolated in the apocalypse, the decorations would add to the atmosphere if they are still up. After getting a run through of the building, my group and I decided that it would be much easier to finalize a shot list when they visit the location. Being at the location would allow for them to look around and take pictures of where each shot should be. 

Ideas for the Title

   In the same class period, we also decided that we would follow through with the name "Losing Track." We also decided upon a font and used its appearance to resemble our characters inner thoughts or how our character is losing themselves. The name also relates to trains which is what our film opening also revolves around. In my next blog post I will be mentioning out target audience so we have another aspect of our film opening to help us along the way.
