Costume Ideas For Portfolio Project

  Hey guys! How is everyone? One of the most important things when it comes to films are the characters costume designs. A characters costume design is important since it enhances character depth and development. This is done with the careful selections made in clothing, accessories and overall aesthetics. One film that heavily inspires some of the costume designs for our 2 minute film opening is Diary Of A Whimpey Kid: Rodrick Rules. Specifically the scene where Rodrick and his band members from his band "Löaded Diper" (which happens to be a rock band) are seen playing. In this scene each member of the band are wearing clothes such as leather jackets, mostly dark colors, jeans, etc. 

This will help when coming to creating our costumes since for the first minute of our film opening, we plan on recording a rock band of high school students practicing in their garage. Each of their costumes will allow the audience to have some kind of view on them both as rock players and as individual people by giving them their own unique styles while also making it clear that they are all part of a group together. However, when it comes to designing the costume for our main antagonist we're planning on making him stand out a little more then the others to show how he's different from them the same way the band member all the way to the left of the picture seen above is wearing brighter colors in comparison to the others while still fitting in with the overall aesthetic of the band. 

Feel free to comment thoughts on these ideas. I'll be keeping all of you updated in upcoming blogs.

The Script

 In todays blog I will be discussing the script for my films opening scene. A script is the written text for films, tv shows or any other kind of pieces of media. Scripts provide valuable information such as shots and composition, stage directions, setting, character actions and most importantly dialogue. In my opinion dialogue is the most crucial part of the script for our film opening because heavy words and bad language are exactly what is going to spark the first conflict in our film. Overall the script or screenplay of any kind of media is one of the most important things needed. 

Knowing all this information, the time for me to write my own script came along. Thankfully because of previous projects I have done in the past (school related and not school related), some kind of experience making scripts is there. I have done many projects in class and used to write scripts for YouTube video intros when I was younger. Although it may not seem like much, I think it may help me having somewhat experience when it comes to making the script to my film opening. Some screenplays I have tried using for reference to write my own are one from "Star Wars A New Hope" (Because of structural reasons) and one from the movie "Black Panther" (because of the argumentative element of this particular scene)
