Need to catch up, research in the mean time.

I've been wanting to film these past few days, the problem is my actress has had something come up every time we plan to film, so it hasn't happened. This is a huge problem because I basically need to reshoot everything I did beforehand since I did not like how they came out at all. There was no continuity in the sequence and my actress did not look blind at all. The situation is not looking good because I know editing will be a huge hassle and will take some time. Plus I still need to do the critical reflection, which will also take time. All this needs to get done in the next few days because the project's due in about a week.

Trying not to think about all of this, I decided to take the recommendation of a friend of mine and see a Brazilian film called "The Way He Looks". The film is about a blind kid who struggles with finding out who he is, which is great because in my opening I need to show a bit of this struggle. This also helped me with the look of a blind person and how he/she must walk. I will need to tell my actress these techniques to make it look as realistic as possible. Lastly, I watched this video on In-Camera Color Correcting, which I will incorporate to make the beginning of my opening seem surreal. The person in the video talks about how you can adjust contrast, color, and other factors to make the film look the way you want and not have to do it when editing, which is very useful. I will try to make use of this, that is, if I actually manage to film...
