Unifrom

 

Good afternoon diary,

Romina and I wanted to discuss the casting situation or the film that we are working on and who we might cast. 

We are unsure as of now who we want to specifically use because of how we want to do things. Romina could easily do things at home with an extra set of hands and all with her sister but I think it'd be better if I did it. Why you may ask? Because I want to not only test my acting skills but because I want to show more of my vision. Pretty selfish huh? Really though we agreed it was for the best as my house can show the scenes pretty well. 

The main idea for the actors was to get a military's uniform because of the setting of the movie. Usually that'd be a little hard, going to the dollar store to get maybe a costume but for us it was no problem. Romina's sister and I are both part of the JROTC program at the school. This gives us immediate access to an JROTC uniform which we'll be using in the film!

The reason we are using the uniform as well is for easy representation. A uniform itself gives a lot of context into a lot of things. For example, a decorated uniform can show how involved the person is with the military. A person with a bad looking uniform can be clumsy or not every caring for it. All these little things build details on what type of character we want our protagonist to be. For what we choose, we wanted to make a protagonist that is clean and very definition of role model on the outside. Again, the mc is going to be very to faced so we will illustrate that maybe by something like his ranks being a little off because he doesn't like the military system and just wants to be at the top already. To me, little details like that help a lot into making meaningful characters. Anyways, that's all the time we have left. Until next time!
