POST #30 - PLANNING: PROPS

COFFEE CUP
The same one as in my AS Media film opening! The two are meant to be linked, where the music video ends 5 minutes before the movie intro begins. It'll be made up of my reusable Starbucks travel mug, and using a whiteboard marker to write the name "Alan Hamlin" on it.
GUITAR
Just a regular ol' guitar. I'm not well versed in guitar makes or anything about them, but from my limited knowledge, I'd guess it'd be a Yamaha make. I may use the one I have at home, which is an actual Yamaha guitar.

 POSTER
To be used in the scene when Alan walks down St Benedicts Street. I'll design it myself in Photoshop, and sticking with the meme theme, I'll use some traits of them. Examples being using Comic Sans as the font, using stock images with the watermarks still there, etc.

 CONTRACT
Again, same deal as the poster. It'll be all written up in Comic Sans font, but on Word instead of Photoshop. I won't put in any ACTUAL contract text, I plan on, once again, sticking with the meme theme and just printing out the entire script for "Bee Movie". The script went viral in late 2016, as did the movie itself. I want it to be fairly thick, but I don't want to use too much paper. So to get around this problem, I'll probably only print out 3 or so pages for both the front and back of the contract, with the other pages just being blank.

POST #26 - PLANNING: PLOT AND SCRIPT

The plot has been finalised! Finally! So why don't we run through it, plotbeat by plotbeat? We start off seeing Alan sitting at a table outside a cafe. He's having a phone call, while letting his drink go cold. We can hear a female voice, Lisa, on the other end of the phone, who's trying to gently let Alan know it's over. On her end, Lisa's new boyfriend, Chad, grabs the phone. He shouts down to Alan that "the world is gonna roll him". Furious, Alan hangs up, and leaves the cafe. He walks into a musical instrument shop, looking at a selection of guitars, feeling sad. He remembers how he played guitar for Lisa. He leaves the shop without buying anything, and starts walking down the street. He stops for a second, seeing a poster. It reads "MUSICAL TALENT WANTED!", and then a phone number. Alan considers it, then walks away. A second later, he rips the poster off the wall, and runs home. This is the point where All Star starts playing. Alan ...

POST #32 - SOUND

In terms of diegetic sound, the only piece of it will be in the opening scene, before the song starts. When Alan is on the phone, I want to record the real audio from the actor pretending to have a phone call. The other end of the phone call won't be diegetic though, it'll be edited through Audacity and by recording my two other actors separately.  Non-diegetic sound is going to be quite heavy. Ignoring the song itself over the entire music video, I also want to use some audio I captured at a concert I've been to previously. During a lull where the artist had to tune her ukulele, she asked the audience to entertain themselves for "5 seconds". The crowd started singing All Star, to the sarcastic dismay of the artist. Her backing band joined in too, playing music to accompany the crowd's singing. Luckily, I recorded the entire thing, so I can use clips of audio of it for when I want a large crowd singing the song. As mentioned before, the phone call at the b...
