Hiiii....
so I’m very worried... I haven’t started filming yet because I don’t have someone to help me film.. so I think I have to change my film.. I’m going to make it as a vlog. So this girl is going to be going through this experience and recording it all for her YouTube channel.... this isn’t my favorite idea because I feel like it takes away from the humor of things and the rawness of what I was trying to achieve but at this point I have no other option. I can’t wait any longer for someone to help me. I could definitely make this work.... right.
The only thing is... I’m gonna have to be one helll of an actress to show this metamorphosis... while speaking to the camera.....
gonna have to go take some Master classes on how to act... lol
I’m going to do some research on movies that use a similar style and aren’t cringyyy ... because I’ve seen plenty of cringe.... THATS what I’m afraid of... anyways just an update...

hiiii
So I know I haven't started editing but I feel like I should start finding the sounds that are going to be used in the film.
This is what I want to use for the meditating scene... its very chill and mellow.
It’s called water lilies and is the last picture in this series. I feel like this will definitely elevate the scene.
The next one I found was for when they have the conversation in the beginning it is a tad to happy but this is just for the background thats gives this scene a little bit of an inspirational touch.
The last one I found is the one for when they smoke marijuana... the song is very tripy. It’s weird... which I feel embodies the essence of that scene. However, I think I would vary the music in this scene and not keep the same one throughout...

As of right now ... this is all of the un copyrighted music I have found ... It’s going to be way easier to find music when I’m editing and can see exactly what I want to portray.. 

byeeere 

Hiii people of this place....
if you wanna get loud
put your hands in the air
lets get funky.... I think thats how it goes.
updates:
I finally tried a bunch of make up looks and found the perfect one for the hippie. The look I decided on is one that is very simple and natural. I recorded a time-lapse but forgot to press the button till the last look cause I'm.... SMART.
as for the main character... she is going to have a lot of make up in the beginning and towards the end she is going to have a very natural look. I feel like this portrays the idea of being more comftorbale in her own skin,,,
below is the time lapse ...

I know its not  long blog post but it is..... effective?!

alright bye. bye

hiiiiii,
so I have realized that going to the beach in the morning is a no go and the lighting in the morning is probably not the best idea. So I think its a better idea to do it at sunset... also my backyard has a very pretty sunset

I am still thinking of where exactly to shoot this...
I think by the water ... is the best vibe.. it portrays this calm feeling that I am trying to achieve... however the light hits very nicely on my patio. The only thing is the windows in the back do give off a strong reflection... so the camera man would be seen. So the best place to shoot is by the water... I can also get a really cool shot of the main character looking into the water ... thus also symbolizing this idea that she is also reflecting within.
Ok good ... new setting established
AWSOME sauce ... later haters

Hiiii .... I completely forgot to order the things I need to film ... so this blog post is about my horrible MEMORY... it’s an actual pain.

However, I’m glad that I did because initially .. I was going to order these Led lights and a smog machine .... but thennnnn I found 

THIS !!!! 

IT IS BOTH A SMIG MACHINE AND AN LED LIGHT FOR THE VERY GOOD BARGANING PROFIT OF 28 dollars... this is awesome ... and will definitely make my movie way betterrrrr.
ANYWAYS... I ordered it and it’s on it’s merry way. Sometimes you have to take one step back to take two forward .
Toodaloooo

hair

Hiii,
so its been a minute ... and things have not gone as I planned... per usual.. I am unable to film without someone who can help me with the camera.. my mother is always working ... my brother...  is annoying. However, I secured a friend who is not in complete quarantine to help me film next week. I have everything planned so We can film really quickly and smoothly.. but I'm not gonna sit around till next week.. so Today I am going to try out different hair- dos... to explore if the vibe matches what my hippie to see what I feel embodies her the best. A few posting ago I posted an inspo pic... of a women with  two braids in the front of her face... which I tried.. here is a time lapse video.

 In this picture... we see some of the components of what I want to incorporate into one of the hippie looks. In the video below we see me trying out various objects until coming across these two... in a previous blog I decided that I wanted to keep the characters costumes throughout the same color ... but realistically... I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I think it can change according to the scene ... so this chill blue can be for the meditating scene.

 This yellow ribbon would look best in the purple room... in the first scene as it contrasts the best with purple. It also works as a good contrast with the vibe of both characters... yellow is very happy which contrasts with blue which is very mellow.

Below is a time lapse of me trying and showing the successful hair-dos ... I’m glad I did this ... so that I can see exactly how much hair is needed the process and such so on the day we film it won’t be that time consuming.

Ok .... bye, bye

hiiiiii,
So since I've been on the topic of mice-scene and since the filming day is closer and closer... I think it would be smart to establish exactly what I wasn't the scene to look like.. The one I am the most worried about.. Is the Hallucinogen  scene.. I think I have to order a smoke machine and LED lights.. I want to establish a similar vibe seen in club scenes... lost of bright lights.. close up shots... I want a balance between peaceful and hectic.
It is going to take place in the main characters room but the lights and the smoke will completely change the vibe.
As for the conversation taking place in the begging.. i want there to be lots of light... the room I am planning on filming.. has a very large window that I believe will create this very cool against the light type of effect and possibly even symbolize the way she's feeling.. going against the light.. that light being Jesus christ.. a bit of a reach.. but I like to stretch.

EXCUSE THE MESS.. THE FLOOR WAS BEING MOPPED.
ok so here is the window... the other thing also is.. the whole room is a tone of lavender.. which I think I could use to my advantage in the color scheme.. however purples complement is green.. like seen in the previous post green works well with oranges.. i just don't know if that mixture will look the best together.
What I might do... is that.. i might make her change be from blue which I FEEL NICELY COMPLEMENTS ( oops not caps) purple.. to green which is a warmer color and further complements the tones of the room.
I feel this would look cool but then the orange from her friend would look out of place and almost as if its intruding...

OK  NEVER MIND SISTERRRRS

I researched what colors work well wiht lavander and found this ..."The tone of lavender employed decides its best complementary colors. Every version of lavender looks bright & crisp with white, while the more purple versions look appealing with orange & lime green. The grayer tones of lavender work best with beige, yellow, golden, magenta & warm browns."

So I would say I AM A genius WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT .

Ok bye, bye
