Hey Blog, this is my second to last post and I have learned so much about my want to direct and my love for bringing characters and a storyline together to create a believable introduction to a movie people my age would watch. Margo, our main character is a "copycat" because she doesn't break the stereotype of the edgy girl who wants to run away because her parents don't understand her. We reinforce this idea due to her mom saying "bye young lady" instead of an endearing term. When Margo gets to school she changes in her car uncovering who she really is and having to change in secret. This character and her traits represent the confusion and finding of self when being a teenager and how often kids don't aren't always who their parents want them to be. Teens are often left misunderstood and there is a loss of connection with parents and their growing children due to their expectations of who the parents want them to be. Our product engages with a

COPYCAT FILM INTRO This is my film intro.

hey Blog, I wanted to talk about what we were planning on filming this Tuesday coming up on our day off. We are almost done with our project with few shots left to film in Daniela's house and a few more shots left to film in school. After deciding to refilm some shots because of continuity issues and finishing our shots so that we can edit it we are almost done with our film intro. Post-production will be a whole different beast that I will most likely have to conquer. As seen n the credits in my last post I am the editor and will have to get the free trial for Adobe Premiere Pro. I have edited before because of time spent in television production so I feel my team mate trust me.

Hi Blog, over break Daniela did the opening credits and it turned out really good . These credits came out amazing and I really liked the way they turned. They definitely help further the notion of that teen movie and credit those who took part in the making. The way these credits are displayed to give teen drama tones and the bouncy, light-hearted tone of this film. The way these were shot were also given flowy and not rigid movements to show the casualty of the film as well as including bright colors and lights.

hi blog, We have planned to film after Spring Break since most us will not be here and there is an exam day where none of us have to show up to school in the middle of the week. I am sure Daniela is planning to fil our intro credits throughout Spring Break and we took inspiration from Lizzie McGuire for some of the credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEKzcIOwcgc In this intro, Lizzie breaks apart her room to pack for a big trip parallel to Margo, there are also the names of people and their titles in everyday objects to introduce and give people credit.

Hey Blog, The rest of my movie will be about the things they never got to do under the strict control of their parents such as getting tattoos, the couple enjoying their time together. What is not made obvious throughout the film but is implied that Margo and Liam are not allowed to date which is part of their reasoning for wanting to run away. These couple pictures represent the relationship between Liam and Margo. They have total trust for each other as well as love and support. Paola and Tomas are friends in real life and seem to have a chemistry that could not be found if they didn't previously know each other. I feel that this pair is the best that could have represented their characters because they are both so similar to them.
