Settling

What's up blog. It's pretty hard making a short film when you're missing the actor for your main character. Even though Lynda agreed to help us, after writing the script we realized she would fit better for the "Sun" character (placeholder name that we still haven't changed) meaning we still needed to find someone to play "Moon." I tried asking M and J if they knew anyone, as I already did my part finding our first actor (sorry gang) but this resulted in no luck and we still didn't have an actor. To be honest, I was willing to sacrifice myself and be on camera (but I really really really do not want to and I'd much rather be DP/Directing) but luckily M decided to offer herself up. This actually relieves me to because with M being apart of our project, we don't have to work around someone else's schedule, and when we decide on our days to film, M can prioritize it more than anyone outside our group could. 

Now that we know M is going to be our "Moon" we started thinking of outfits for her to wear. We know that Moon is going to have slight physical transformation to reflect her inner confidence change, so ideally her initial outfit is a little drab, covering a lot of skin (think hoodies), while her final outfit is more colorful, wearing shiny/unique jewelry, and possibly tank top/cropped shirt (I'm imagining a really cute green top M has that would look pretty).

Drab outfit in the beginning inspo.

More confident, unique outfit for the end inspo.

Hopefully, having M as our actress can help us, maybe even J and M can find time during spring break to film clips for a teaser. If not, we'll have to go crazy after we return from break. Now off I go to Colombia...
