Blue Sky Design Project #2 – Short Film

So, the second blue sky project is a thing. For this one, I decided to make a short film that was engaging to new people, made on a low budget, and on a small amount of time. So I started to work on a script, which was the first part of the design project. I had many different drafts for this, and I spent a lot of time on this  part of the project. Here are some different drafts for the first page:

Then the second part – finding a cast and scouting locations. This didn’t take much time, as there weren’t many location or members. The locations were key, and we were then ready to start filming! Here is a picture of one of the locations:

Then the second to last part – filming. This took the most time, because we were constantly changing the story, scenes and dialogue. Apart from that, the acting was solid and we didn’t have to do many takes. Here is a picture of one of the shots from the movie:

Now the final part – editing. There was not much music, or many sound effects, so that was pretty quick as well. I think this was the most important bit of the project, and unfortunately the editing on iMovie was quite annoying. Here is a screenshot of the process:

Overall, the result for this design project is that you can make a short film, with hardly any budget, and have it be engaging to new people. But, you can not do it in a small amount of time, as the movie was too short because of the small amount of time. The movie is currently on my films channel, which you can check out here.
