Week 3 Post 2: lets buy some stuff

so cool!!!

 Alright so I've gotta pick up the pace with this stuff. Im doing pretty good with the script but I've gotta get ready for production stuff. In class today I was thinking of how to film a car scene and I was like "hey I wonder if they have a tripod that can stick to a car" and there is one and its not a million bagillion dollars. So I'm gonna get this so I can get some cool shots from the outside of the car and have the characters talk n stuff. It'll be so cool. 

I'm also planning to go to the thrift store with my friend Cooper, who is gonna play my main guy, to go get clothing for the movie. I want Cooper to wear a hawaiian shirt with some cargo shorts or whatever. I've also gotta get some tennis outfits for Cooper and the bad guy, whos gonna be played by my friend Democratus. Hes this massive dude who will be a very imposing villain. 

For equipment, I'd like to check out stuff from the Short Cuts place near NSU with the guy named Jim. They let you have the stuff for a whole week, while CBTV only gives you equipment for a day😠. Jim also has more stuff like boom mics and stuff that I'd like to use, I should actually check if Jim rents out camera car mounts so I don't spend 40 bucks for nothing. yea thats it

Week 3 Post 1: Doomscrolling for tstok's class

PRODUCTION 1

Media Text: The Afternoon Club - David Guggino

Social Media Tool: Instagram

Post Description: So he kinda just posts stuff about how he's a director and is like "go watch my movie!" He ties stories of his own personal experiences and advice in with promoting his movie and i love it so much

Developed Branding: Alright so the full movie isn't free to watch but the trailer is and the vibe I took away from it was like intentionally amateurish in its production value in a way that comes off as very interesting and entertaining. And that brand i everywhere in his social media page. I just look at this guy and im like yea this is exactly who made this. He makes posts with little clips of his movie, and he also talks about director tips n stuff. And there's one post where he's making some mysterious stew in a pot and talking about his movie. His branding works really well in a way where I dont even think he's intending on having a good, cohesive brand. He just pours all his work with his own creative juices and it all ends up matching in a wonderful way.

Main Takeaways: I love this guy. He's so freaking down to earth and real and his movie looks so freaking funny. I am going to buy this movie because I want to support this guy. David Guggino is my goat of all time. He feels like someone my mom would have known since high school and introduces me to him at some random gathering. I wanna go home and watch this guys movie so bad.

PRODUCTION 2

Media Text: The Academy - David Guggino

Social Media Tool: Instagram, YouTube Shorts

Post Description: So its similar to the marketing for The Afternoon Club, with Guggino giving his down to earth. Yea its kind of the same as the other one

Developed Branding: This movie is like a mockumentary thing about a thing in new york with                                                                                         people and stuff so yea thats the branding

                                                                                    Main Takeaways: same as last one

PRODUCTION 3

Media Text: Just Be Awesome: Trying To Get
Hired At 40

Social Media Tool: Instagram

Post Description: So there's just one post about how the film won an award

Developed Branding: Okay so the social media post doesnt develop any branding at all, so theres really nothing to discuss here

Main Takeaways: dont do this

Week 2 Post 4: better late than never

 Alright guys, I forgot to do this one. STN has been bonkers, like totally bonkers! My team did really great for crazy 8. We did a story on Tampa's depleting tree canopy and how it makes the city waaaay hotter. And it is all factual cuz it is hot as balls out here. Im helping chud ass bella put audio files in her blog so its lowkey her fault this is late. 

MEDIA TEXT 1: HISTORY CHANNEL CHUPACABRA HUNTING

me left, bryan middle, luke right

Okay so the first night of STN me n Bryan Bomfim and Luke Dierking got to the hotel and started organizing everything and increasing the fung shway of the room. We organized the shoes and made the pullout bed and repositioned the cuck chair. And then we laid down and turned on the history channel cuz every other channel was lame. And we turn it on and see this guy named Josh hunting the chupacabra. He was interviewing this one guy who was like "yea its common knowledge that the chupacabra was a failed government experiment." And that was genuinely the funniest thing i heard all day. And they went into this cave with spiders and boogers and snakes n stuff and it looked really scary. 

MEDIA TEXT 2: AFTERSHOCK: HUNTING JOHN CYPRESS

alright luke dierking told me that ts is not on youtube but whatever im gonna write about it anyways. So after we watched the chupacabra video Luke dierking showed us a segment where luke and wesley hunt the ghost of john cypress. It was funny n stuff. I also downloaded angry birds star wars 2

Week 2 Post 3: researching tennis scenes in stuff

Another big announcement, the other day I saw that the lego star wars AT TE was on sale so I purchased it. Anyways, 

MEDIA TEXT 1: DESPICABLE ME 4 - TENNIS SCENE

So the most notable part about this scene to me at least is the minion referee. He's really funny and that's an element I wanna implement in the tennis scene at the end of my film. He's gonna take bribes and stuff and just be a really bad referee and its gonna be sooo freaking funny. Yea thats my main takeaway from this.

MEDIA TEXT 2: CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM - TENNIS SCENE

Okay so with this one I like how its shot with multiple angles. My biggest worry with the tennis scene is that its gonna look stupid, but if I borrow elements from the minions and this I should be chilling. I also want the two guys to grunt progressively louder as the scene goes on. uhhhhh yea thats it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JY9kjM1tRg

this buffet is gonna be empty

Okay so today were gonna leave for STN and im so freaking hyped. And what im probably most hyped about is Golden Corral. I swear on my life that I will get Mr Cummings's moneys worth at Golden Corral. Im gonna eat literally everything they have there. If you see on the news that Golden Corral has gone out of business, just know it was me.

Week 2 Post 2: reseaching funny will ferrel movies

MEDIA TEXT 1: STEP BROTHERS

So this is like my favorite movie of all time, and for good reason. It's literally the best movie ever of all time, undisputed. It's like the larry bird of movies. Cuz lebron and jordan are out of the goat debate, and what's left is larry bird. Now getting back on track, the reason that step brothers is the best movie ever is because of how perfectly written and timed and acted every joke is. I've watched this movie dozens upon dozens of times and it never fails to make me laugh. Im aware that it is basically impossible to reach this level of peak, but with my project I aim to get as close                                                                                     as I can. I also think that this film has some pretty good coloring. The scenes have this warm look to it, and it looks really nice.

MEDIA TEXT 2: TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY

yea so this is the second greatest movie of all time. Its like step brothers but with nascar, which sounds like it would be the greatest movie of all time, but the OG remains on top. The main things I take from the movie in the making of my project are the characterization of both Ricky Bobby and his rival, Jean Girard. The beginning of the movie establishes Ricky Bobby as in his peak as a nascar driver, having everything that someone could ask for. But when Jean Girard comes onto the scene, Ricky Bobby realizes his position is challenged, and when he is surpassed, he is sent spiraling into madness. But towards the end of the movie, he discovers who he truly is and goes to take back the greatness that Jean Girard took from him. And rather than a triumphant victory, the race ends in a tie, and the two kiss each other. I want my villain to toy with my protagonist in a similar way to this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9rDY-fd5yc

this scene right here gives you a pretty good sense of what ricky and jean are like if you havent seen the movie. But if you havent seen the movie WATCH IT!!!!!!

Week 2 Post 1: im researching some genres at the moment

 Alright guys, i bet youll never guess what genre im going for...

YEA ITS A COMEDY

this movie is gonna be so freaking funny. the cambridge guys will be like "oh golly this film is quite hilarious i nearly spilled my tea" and then be like "yea give this dude an A+" 

So i think for this i want elements of like triumph in this, like an underdog story, a really funny underdog story. 

this is genuinley how i feel rn

bro i dont know what else to write here cuz the example post goes on about what his thing is gonna be about. but guess what i did that 2 posts ago. Its so lonely at the top. So uhhhhhhhh i guess i could do it again.

Alright so we start out at a tiki bar where our guy is sitting at the bar with his buddy and hes talking about how he played football in highschool or whatever and then hes like, did you ever do sports as a kid? and then the main guy starts talking about how his father was the greatest tennis player ever and how he failed to live up to the expectations at a young age and how he gave up. And then he goes home and walks down the streets at night while the opening credits appear. The next day hes grilling some burgers or whatever at markham park with the radio on, and he hears that someone is pretending to be him, and has made a big name for himself in the tennis community and gotten like a lot of money. So then he drives out to the middle of nowhere to find a box with his father's gear, he looks back to the night sky and hears the voice of his father, telling him to win. Then he challenges the impersonator to a tennis match. and then idk yet he probably wins or whatever. 

okay I think the working title will be: Mikey McGillen Jr: The Triumphant Tale of a Tennis Star

and thats it, bobby out

Week 1 Post 2: Oh geez i gotta check my watch cuz its schedule o clock

Week 2: actually start writing the script, start thinking about things like costuming and locations and actors and all that stuff, start planning social media
