Cashew Nut Project 3

After I have finished writing my screenplay and my story board from my last post, I completed filming and I found that it was actually really difficult to film.

The first hardship we had to overcome was to find the location, due to the lack  of bars or night clubs.  Even if we had a night club we would not be able to enter because of our age. I had to ask my friends in school if they had a bar at their house, and if it was okay to film using their bar.

Unfortunately the bar was really small and you can see the house furniture in the background.

I had to remove some items and close the curtains that was next to the bar. I also had to think carefully about our shots and angles so that the audience would not be able to see the house items. In addition, the bar had mirrors and you could see the camera, so I had to put some glass cups to cover the mirrors. However I was not able to cover everything.

I never expected I can be able to film it or edit it, because of the location and the props. I'm proud of what I did, also my teachers and my friends liked my video.

Cashew Nut Project 2

The short scene I just shot is based on the story developed from the cashewnuts, it is about a man  called Ayaman,he goes to a night club one night and meets a girl called Ashely who is a drug dealer.

When he enters the club and looks at her, he falls in love with her, even though he does not know who she is.

when he sits next to her she passes him some drugs. He does not know the package is drugs. When he takes it and looks at it he realises what it is, so he gives it back to her and leaves the night club because he is disappointed.

This is our storyboard

And this is our screenplay

Cashew Nut Project

Our new project is to make a character out of cashew nut. We had to describe the cashew nut as it's a human, we had some questions for our cashew nuts and we had to answer them by lookin at our cashew nuts.

The questions are:

1) How did it get the marking it has? 

2) Is it damaged or in a good shape? 

3) Why is it the size it is? 

4) How old is it? 

5) Is it poor or rich? 

6) Where is it from? 

7) Is it male or female? 

8) What kind of house does it live in? 

9) What kind of Job does it have? 

10) What does it do for fun? 

11) What kind of personality does it have? 

12) Name

13) Family

14) Habbit

15) Greatest wish or need

16) Greatest fear

I had to keep on looking at my cashew nut to be able to answer the questions.

These are my answers.

After we had finished making our notes we shared our characters, then we had to choose a partner to work with for the characters we have created. 

I'm working with Ashely, she's a drug dealer and she ran away from her house. I chose her, because I thought that Ayaman and Ashely will be a perfect match, because Ayaman is strong and he can help Ashely to better a better person by falling in love with her.  

Me and my partner had to go and make up an opening story. 

These are our notes that we (me and my partner) made.

It was difficult to create a character from a cashew nut, but if you look at it as a human not as a cashew nut, you can easily describe it as a person.
