 Reflection This is essentially the mood board of my Short Film. I want this film to be refreshing and for all age groups to be able to watch. When creating this film and mood board, I essentially wanted people of an older age group to feel nostalgic and have them be reminded of their past memories of when they were in high school. I also wanted to target a younger audience by letting them know to make memories right now, as when they get older, they will want to remember the memories they made when they were younger to tell in the future.  Questions: How do your products represent social groups or issues? The mood board and thematic elements of the movie skillfully and eloquently weave a tapestry of nostalgia and contemporary relevance across generations. It is a moving reminder of the formative years that shape us all, drawing on treasured high school experiences. It serves as a nostalgic time capsule for older viewers, evoking nostalgic memories of simpler times and the inn...

Major Tasks Official Teaser Trailer: Teaser Link:  The Time Capsule: Teaser Official Trailer: Trailer Link:  The Time Capsule: Official Trailer Debrief I meticulously created two captivating trailers that adhere to the guidelines of compelling movie previews using Clipchamp and Canva. Each trailer seamlessly interweaves carefully chosen clips to establish the central conflict and narrative trajectory, beginning with an introduction of the premise. I ensured a dynamic flow within Clipchamp by strategically arranging the footage, keeping viewers engaged from start to finish.

 Minor Tasks I'm excited to reveal the official movie poster designed just for my short film trailers. Using the flexible tools provided by Canva, I methodically crafted every part of this visual masterpiece. The backdrop has a real feel, drawn from an original shot personally snapped by yours truly, giving the poster a certain charm. I intentionally positioned the two lead actors in a dominating stance at the forefront of the film, emphasizing their importance as major protagonists. In addition, I made care to prominently display the name of our acclaimed production company, highlighting the collaborative spirit that is propelling this project ahead. To enhance the visual appeal and convey the essence of the film's dynamic plot, I chose to slightly bend the title, instilling a refreshing and fascinating atmosphere. Furthermore, it was necessary to recognize the creative vision and directorial prowess behind the scenes; hence, the director's name is elegantly featured benea...

We can increase the visibility of our film, increase audience engagement, and ultimately ensure its success upon release by fostering a sense of community through engagement with followers, collaboration with influencers, and the implementation of promotional campaigns.

  Location These are the places I will be using for my Trailer:           Clearwater High School: This key area acts as the hub of young Shreya's memories, the actual source from whence they emerge. It captures the spirit of her formative years, including her high school experience. Each object in this collection is significant, giving testimony to the events that molded her path. It's more than just a physical place; it's a reservoir for her emotions, a temple to her history, and a portal to her inner self. As a backdrop for the trailer, it evokes nostalgia and importance, enabling viewers to dig into Shreya's memories and feel the core of her narrative. Sarah's House This is a critical turning moment, as elderly Shreya walks down the corridor, her steps heavy with memories and anticipation, until she reaches the attic's doorway. Among the dust and darkness, she uncovers the box that will open the floodgates of memory, sending her on a voyage of contemplat...

 Film Schedule I created a Film Schedule for the plan of how I will film my Short film trailers. 

  Storyboard This is the storyboard and the main plot of the short film I will make. I will probably make changes to this soon, but this is the main plot. Old Shreya won't be saying anything as there will be music in the background of her scenes. 

Casting Include a listing of the character(s) that you will include with a brief description of each.:  As of right now, I have two main characters: Older Shreya: This character will find the time capsule and reminisce all the memories she made during high school. She will be the first to be shown after the studio's name appears. She plays a significant part, as these are her memories, and we are looking back into her life.  Younger Shreya: This character will be the one we will primarily see as this character is living in the moment and who the audience will be spectating. She is significant as most clips will include her and all her items.  There will be side characters, but they will added on later during the post-credit slide. Post a photo of the person who will play this role/participate in the documentary and explain why this person was selected for the role. Older Shreya: Molly Philip Molly Philip is my grandmother, and she will be playing older Shreya. She was cho...
