I wrote the script!!!

-

 So I wrote the script, and it was a pretty easy process as I basically already knew what the events in this opening would be. One new choice that I made was to have the main character, Todd, have the profession of health inspector. The idea is that he deals with his germaphobia in an unhealthy way by constantly trying to make spaces clean to his liking to an obsessive degree. I also came up with a title for the film: "The Summer of the Swarm". Without further ado, here's the script, which I wrote using a script writing software called Celtx.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

This is of course not exactly how I'll express these thoughts in the videos themselves, but it is the core of it. Question:  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Answer: The Summer of the Swarm uses a variety of horror and thriller genre conventions,...

Documentary Planning

  From the beginning I wanted my documentary to stand out. When it came time to pick a subject, I realized that given the time frame of two weeks, I had to pick interviewees who were people I already knew and lived close by. I wanted to be efficient, I didn't want to waste time and energy making phone calls to people I've never met who may or may not be willing to be filmed or available when I needed them to be. My best bet was to center it around people from my summer theater program, as they're basically my inner circle who I feature in a lot of my projects, and they all have something interesting to talk about. Working backwards from there, I now needed to decide what these people would be interviewed about.    One of my first ideas was to make it about fans of obscure and independent music, which could've been interesting, but I knew there was something else I could think of that was more... I guess the one word I can think of is special. I thought about the demogra...
