Short Drama Diary Entry (2).

Since my last diary entry, I have written up a proposal and begun some research into my short drama. I have also looked at Adobe After Effects and decided that I could easily use that to add effects into my film if I download free stock footage from places such as detonationfilms.com, or videoblocks.com. I'm not completely sure what I would need yet, however, but after my script and storyboards are completed, I would know exactly what I need and when. I could also use it for the titles sequence of my film, as well as perhaps colour correction as I am planning for my film to be rather dark to set the mood.

I've written up about a page of my script so far, but it is only the first draft and is no where near completed. My next focus will be on finishing up this script, and completing the research so that my film has some solid foundations and I can begin working on more detailed parts of the pre-production. I will then also be able to write the treatment up, and begin to look for locations that would be suitable for filming in.

I feel that the storyboard would be a little bit more difficult for me to complete as I am not a good artist, but hopefully I can either get someone to help me with it, or simply make it rough - so that it's not artistic, but anyone else that helps out on the film will be able to understand it and get a grasp of the ideas that I am trying to show them.
