This week has been an adventure in prepping my final piece. My script is written up, my cast sorted, and I’ve started storyboarding.

One thing that I am struggling with in terms of storyboarding is figuring out how I am going to present this story. I want it to be immersive, engaging and intriguing but that’s easier said than done. I don’t want some cliche hippy dippy hipster movie. My limitations are going to be camera movement if I want it to be smooth.

Another limitation will be my cast. They aren’t all professionals, only one has had really serious training. That being said, I have made dialogue as minimal as possible so I think I’ve lent myself a hand there.

From now, my priorities are:

• Get all actors on the same page in terms of what is happening
• Find a good, relatively quiet beach to shoot
• Sort out storyboard
• Sort out audio recording and such
