Production Post - My Costumes

I finally got to film. I know, I procrastinated A LOT. But I am proud to say that I am almost fully done with filming. 

Yesterday, I began filming during school. I managed to film my school scenes but unfortunately, I could not film my bus scenes. So today I did that. I also filmed my very last scene today (the most important one, in my opinion) as it concludes with the idea that my character is struggling with something mentally. This introduces a melancholy plot instead of a monotone one which is what most would assume having just watched the first minute.  

I did film a couple of BTS, but I will warn you, they are pretty monotone as well, since I am only one person filming. However, I tried to make it seem like what I was doing was interesting, and I hope at least that worked.  

As you can see, I didn’t talk to the camera like I should have. Anyways, I show my outfit, which is in fact my costume. I really strongly believe that costumes are a great way to represent certain emotions and while my outfit doesn’t look so much like I just threw it on, it does convey the colors that my character feels. The blue jeans represent how my character is feeling sad, and the black shirt/black belt represents the exhaustion and depression that my character carries and deals with.  

In contrast, I suggested my mom wear light blue jeans and a white top. Light blue signifies a more relaxed and calmer vibe, and the white can signify many things such as peace, innocence, and happiness. The innocence part might not make sense for some, but I was trying to relay the idea that the mom of my film is free from the mental burdens that her daughter carries.  

Anyways, I am going to begin editing tomorrow. Hopefully I have enough shots, which I probably do since I have like three takes of every scene. But still, I am praying.
