My Pre-production Journey

 My Pre-production Journey



This blog post  is an addition to my latest YouTube video- making a short film: my process. I will leave a link below.


In previous blog posts I have talked about being in the process of writing a series of short films, and now I am no longer talking the talk, I am walking the walk. 


What do I mean by this? I am putting my words and thoughts into action and I am making a short movie, in life people say they will do something and often do not follow through, and by me posting to my blog it keeps me somewhat accountable, so that I can follow through with what I say.







My new short film is called: Right In Front Of You. I am the writer, director and producer, and each role allows me explore different aspects of my creativity, as a writer I get to create worlds for actors to explore, as a director I get to hone and shape actors performances, and as a producer I get to hire talented people, I also get collaborate with people who have different skill sets from my own - such as graphic designers and cinematographers.


In my video I break down my pre-production process step by step, from coming up with the idea for the script to casting my project.


Let me know your thoughts on this blog in the comments.

Let me know your thoughts below in the comments. Goldfish​ ​ What is life? Here today gone tomorrow.​ I have circled the bleak perimeter, dozens of times, nay!​ Hundreds of times? Nay!... thousands, I have circled the perimeter thousands of times. Nay! I have circled the perimeter too many times to count.​ ​ What is life? Here today gone tomorrow.​ I dream of soaring through the air, like a Majestic Bumble Bee in a field. I long for the tender rays of sun to radiate on my gills. SMACK! I've done it again, while daydreaming about life out of this hell I've collided with the glass on my cell.​ ​ What is life? Here today gone tomorrow.​ What is life? Life is what you make of it.​ What is life? Life is the great unknown, no one k

THE TYPES OF MEDIA I USE

  THE TYPES OF MEDIA I USE ( Photo by   Julius Drost on   Unsplash ) I was recently watching old episodes of Hot One’s on YouTube that I previously skipped over. (a show where people eating increasingly spicy chicken wings while being interviewed) I came across the the Gary Vee episode, for those of you who are not aware, Gary Vee is an entrepreneur, motivational speaker and digital marketing expert. If you have not seen this episode of Hot One’s, I would encourage you to do so, Gary divulges a lot of great information. One of the things I took away from the Interview was this: When releasing videos on YouTube, If you have a blog, release a short summary of your latest video on your blog, the blog post doesn't need to be long, four paragraphs is enough, and if people like what they read then they can then follow a link to watch your video, apart from giving a brief summary I like the idea of giving the reader behind the scenes information, as I feel this will give the readers a bet
