Future plans

So as of now, my partner and I have finished storyboarding and are planning our filming schedule. We plan to reach out to people this weekend in terms of casting, and see when they are available to film. But, we want to get most, if not all, of the filming done next weekend, so we can start editing as soon as possible. We plan to film at my house, because my room mostly resembles the grunge (???) atmosphere we are looking for. I have many posters and tapestries on my walls that would help develop our main character's personality. Our setting choices are pretty limited because of where we live: a pretty small town with infrastructure that is ALL the same (literally every house looks the same). So, we chose conveniency when it came to the setting. Besides filming, there is not much that we need to do before; our opening has little to no dialogue, so we don't necessarily need to create a script. Here is a VERY rough outline of our future schedule:

  • March 11th-12th - filming/production
  • March 14th-18th - editing/post-production
  • March 21st-25th - research and create CCR
  • April 4th - submit opening and CCR to blog

Right now, we are mainly thinking of title names. As mentioned before, we want the title to be in big yellow letters, and take up most of the screen in size. We also want it to be synchronized with the beat of the music, which will happen in post-production. But, as for the actual name, my partner and I are kind of lost. We want a short, appealing name, most likely one to two words. We also want it to related to the deaf community and be something that they understand. However, we don't want to make the title something corny that will make it seem as if the entire plot revolves around the MC being deaf. Coda (2021), is a great example of a title that relates to the deaf community. It stands for child of a deaf adult, and represents hearing children from deaf parents. This is something that deaf people understand and can resonate with, so we ultimately want to do something similar for our opening title.
