#mid point

Super difficult for me. One step mastered at a time, please.

For those who, like me, are into this sort of thing: In every non-leap year, at the infinitesimally brief moment betwixt 12:59:59pm EDT and 1:00:00pm EDT on July 2nd, we hit the exact midpoint of the calendar year. In leap years, that midpoint is exactly 12 hours earlier, the moment between 12:59:59am EDT and 1:00:00am EDT on July 2nd. (Above is the Peanuts strip from Tuesday, July 2nd, 1968. Besides the date, it just seemed appropriate.)

This is my mid point evaluation towards my project and to start off honestly I feel like I haven’t been doing enough, being to stuck in a script and then deciding to change my idea so recently has definitely set me back but I still feel like all of my research applies and I will finish tis project it is simply a matter of scheduling and next Monday and Tuesday I am filming for the trailer of which I hope to make multiple versions so that I can experiment of the holidays and right now I am hoping to research more into artists for the posters and cinematographers for the shots I want to use in my final trailer, it’s going to be  long ride but I feel like I can do it and also I am impressed with my ability to craft ideas for posters thus far, although I would argue they are cheesy in some sense it shows that I can respond too artists, such as my practice posters which I derived the idea from the style of Saul Bass who uses text intertwined with imagery to create a simple yet meaningful poster that draws a viewer in with bright colour and simplicity. I hope to make posters in the end however that look more alike to the style of Vaughan Oliver, beautifully blended into the background as his work is to reflect how the ideals in my poster have been clear fro years to people but people still seem to ignore them in their everyday lives. I just hope I can truly make posters that express the identity of a character to show the viewer clearly what exactly is going on inside they minds, as the characters Cas and Bobby are both dealing with death when they meet, Cas of her grandmother and Bobby of his baby brother. It’s an emotional rollercoaster of a film idea so I hope I can effectively show that through my trailer and even artwork fro the film.
