Welcome back! My last post introduced the approach that my new group and I were planning on taking when working on our film project. Here is a quote on what I said we would research from my last entry:
“Step One: Brainstorm. We intended to create a brainstorming session where we all provide input after thinking about the topic for a bit. We believed that one simple idea that one individual recommends can turn into a more elaborate, detailed, and stable idea.
Step Two: Research Zodiac Signs. We were to research zodiac signs and anything astrology related. We looked up stereotypes for each Zodiac Sign and how compatibility was determined.
Step Three: Genre. My group and I wanted to decide on a genre and decide what approach we wanted to take with the topic of zodiac signs. It seemed highly likely that we would lean towards romance.
Step Four: Miscellaneous. This category was all about getting inspiration and start noting certain mise en scene elements, shots, angles, composition, lighting and etc that we wanted to include.”
My group and I scheduled another call where we discussed what we learned when we individually researched. We also shared links in our group chat of articles that we all read through and discussed together.
Here are two examples:
With these sources, we learned that in astrology, compatibility of lovers was mainly determined by which signs were opposite each other from the wheel.
We also discussed how we should include friend compatibility between friends in the film to help establish the main idea of the film. We briefly discussed the layout we want to take with the story itself which wanted to be edited in a parallel structure where we provide insight to whats happening in two characters lives who are compatibility to each other and a small run-in they have to each other in the film opening. We described this as “Stars Aligning” and even considered naming the film that. We were very set on creative this film opening through a romantic lens.
With research on the strengths and weaknesses of some signs, we decided on having the main two lovers be a pisces and virgo. We did agree on and ask some individuals who we believed would be perfect to act in the film. We believed they fit the role as they were capable of acting and connecting with their part. We believed it would be fun to make some individuals be the stereotypic version of their sign.
