Wow!! So touched by this post: @adventuresofellagrace with @make_repost ・・・ Storyboarding! Wow.! The first 2 days of filmmaking camp felt like a full week. Ella (and Mom, whose also going through the session have learned soooo much. Ella created a 📝 2.5-page script 👩🏻💻 using @finaldraftscreenwritingsoftware for the first time, which translated into: 🎥 13 scenes 🏠 in 5 locations (all within a house) 👧🏽👦🏻🧒 requiring 3 child actors 🎬 in 43 shots. We were burning the midnight oil to finish the storyboarding, and didn’t get to the floorplanning (combining all the shots into a sketch of each location so we know what to shoot out of sequence at the same time) or a shot list. And she had to shoot all her scenes with the actors on day 3. 🚫 Ella said she doesn’t want camp to end and despite always having respect for each person she’s working with on sets, this process has bubbled up an immense new appreciation for why there are such large crews and the amount of work it takes to make screen projects. 🤯 We are BLOWN away that Ella’s short 2.5-page script translated into 43 shots. She cut one or two here along the way, and added a few alts. Main takeaway so far is what the writer needs to put in the script and what she DOESN’T. Just enough to tell the story and allow the director and actors to envision it. 🎬 Then the director comes in and brings the story to visual life. Which is why Ella LOVES this part so much. We are giddy over here! Thank you: @jenniferjacono @jaconostudios @jaimieenglewrites @wiftflorida for the priceless education at this young age. You’re influencing the course of Ella’s life in the best possible way!! #wiftfl #wiftiesworking #filmflorida #floridafilm #femalefilmmaker #femalefilmmakers #futurefilmmaker #sagaftra #sagaftramember #childentertainer #womeninfilm #womeninfilmandtv #wift #childactor #childactress #younghollywood #industrykids #youngactorslife #hollywoodkids #childentertainer #triplethreat #schullerkids #hollywoodsouth #spacecoast #femaledirector #femaledirectors #filmcamp #filmmakerlife (at Satellite Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2GvU8uQY5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
