Location Scouting and Gathering Materials

     To begin filming, we will need to know what locations we will be needing and what materials to have prepared before (making sure we do not run out of time on the days of filming). For starters, I have created a list of the materials to be used so we can prepare them beforehand: 
  • Camera
  • Papers with children's drawings 
  • Crayons, colored pencils, markers, pencils
  • Cardboard boxes
  • Sketchbook - create with papers and staples
  • Table and chair - for Paz to sit at and sketch
  • Car - for Paz to place box into
  • (Maybe) Confetti, laser lights, toys, smoke machine, candy, etc.
  • Headphones
  • Picture frame with picture of Oriana and boyfriend
  • Post-its with harsh sayings written on them
  • Clothes - for Oriana to model
  • Skateboard/Longboard - for filming second imaginary scene smoothly
  • Lights
  • Junk - college letters, crumbled papers, etc.
     With all of the materials listed, it is time to search for locations. We will need a small house for the introduction and first conflict. Nicolas is moving out of his house, so it is currently empty. The first conflict is about moving, so it could not be more perfect! We will use his house for these scenes, but we also needed a big house for the imagination. For this scene, I thought of some neighborhoods near us that have very nice homes. Windmill Reserve is one of them and my close friend lives inside, meaning we have access, so it is doable! We will go to my friend Valeria's house for this scene, or we will find any home being built that would work as well. However, if for some reason we cannot complete this, then we could use my house. It is larger than Nicolas' and has an arch in the front door, making it look much bigger and nicer if only showing that. For the rest of the film, we could use the outside of my house or the outside of anyone's house, as long as it is not Nico's because the character supposedly moved away when she was little! Just incase to not forget, I have also made a small list to keep these locations in mind:
  • Nicolas' house - empty room for first conflict, outside
  • Windmill Reserve house - new house for first imagination
  • My house - empty room for second conflict, incase Windmill Reserve fails
