New Project Ahead
This is a rather short blog post, but I wanted to let you all know about a new project in the works. Not only am I currently shooting, scriptwriting, and directing a very short film (~4 minutes), but I was also tasked with co-writing, co-directing, and co-shooting an original John Seno film later this year.
In preparation for that, not only am I working a crew production over the next 12 weeks, with each week being dedicated to filming a new short film (and also critiquing them), but I want to release 3-4 movie reviews on TikTok each week. This way, it hopefully builds an audience for future films that I release, but it will also give me the ability to use the techniques within the films I review for my own.
My goal isn’t to become the next huge director of our time (though that would be fun), but it is interesting to learn more about positions in an often-overlooked industry. With my future goals of writing my own screenplays and novels (Yes Dad, I am still making a career in the Business industry), it is important to analyze various amounts of media. Getting to my TikTok project, the 5 aspects of movie-making that I will be analyzing are:
Sound and Music
Visuals and Cinematography
Acting
Narrative
Editing
These 5 main topics of film make up the majority of each movie to me, and I will be utilizing them for the next 10 months to review the Top 100 IMDB movies. And yes, I will be using the Top 100 scratch-off poster. With that said, I will update this in the following weeks to implement the TikTok link. I hope to see you all there!
