What's the beginning of Zombieland again?

PROFUSELY worried. 
It feels like the beginning of an apocalyptic film. There is so much chaos and panic. It is completely worldwide now. It's affecting everyone. I have no idea what to believe. It seems as if we don't know everything. Why are countries panicking so much if it's just an intense flu for the majority? The economy is going downhill everywhere. Non developed or developing countries are going to struggle immensely. It's so odd. People are still acting normal in Florida. 
They canceled school. The closed all Broward schools entities. BECON TV is closed, so no equipment. My guidance counselor actress is pregnant so she is self quarantining, as well as the two kids that were supposed to act and the friends. I haven't asked my actress because I'm scared of the answer. I'm not even sure I'm allowed outside. Obviously my project is not the priority here. I don't know what I'm going to do. I could just use my camera, and buy extra stuff from Amazon, but where or better yet what am I going to film? 
I'm afraid I'm going to have to change my whole story. I was going to post my case study and screenplay but now it just feels silly and naive. I'm going to wait a little to see where things go. It doesn't look like they are going to get any better. Maybe I can make a film about my cabin fever in the self-quarantine. Looks like we're back to square one. Sadly. 
Everything is uncertain right now, are we even going to take exams? are we having graduation? are we going back to school? am I starting college when I'm supposed to? Is the global economy going to crash? How many people actually have corona if there is no testing being distributed to everyone? What's going to happen? 

the world is ending xx stay safe everyone, don't be selfish, and wash your HANDS!

Let the music draw in your head

SO, I went to a concert!! It was amazing. It was for local bands and they were all SO good. I was in search of a song that I could use for the bathroom scene, and I was at the perfect place. Last year, I asked a small Chilean band to use the awesome tune, and they accepted, so I have no doubt I can do the same this year. The show was composed of four local bands, all of them played original content and covers. The first one was called Greyt Adventure, and they had kind of a 70s vibe. The second one was called The Carmics, which was more of a rocky cage the elephant style. The third was more of a folky rock, and the fourth one was called We are the Boas, and was very indie rock. 

There was one moment were I knew I had heard the perfect song. I knew it had to be a song that was strong, that started intensely, that was danceable, and it had to be Rock. I filmed all the bits that made me visualize the scene. 

So the song I liked the most was 'Self Control' by The Carmics. I Dm'd them so we are currently waiting for the response so we will see

SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

BLEED out the inspiration.
So of course I had to get inspired by the king of kings, the father of color grading, aesthetic, mise en scene, creativity, the ONE, the ONLY, Mr. Wes Anderson.
I want my shots to be perfectly symmetrical. Th character will most of the time be in the center.
I also want the scenes to be very awkward. She'll be leaving abruptly, and the characters are always going to just be there, looking at her when she gets places. They are all going to have that odd vibe except her. Kind of contrasting her and her dilemma and the rest.



For the friend scene and the guidance counselor scene, I want to use these scenes from Grand Budapest Hotel as inspo. I want everyone to be in the shot for at least one exchange of dialogue.

For the bathroom scene, I want to use something like the bathroom scenes from The Royal Tenenbaums. I want the camera to be where the mirror is supposed to, and the girl to dance really awkwardly to it. Kind of wanting to let go, and give in to the music but not doing it. Taking a little from the final scene of Jojo Rabbit, by the amazing Taika Waititi



For clothing, I want each of my characters to have something that characterizes them. Even though we are just going to see them once, except for the protagonist, I want each and every one to have something different. The protagonist will have her anklet, and really heavy black eyeliner. The rest are still in the making, but I'm waiting to go thrift shopping to get inspired. Here are some characters that have the vibe I'm going for with the main character.

Visualizeeee it

ME is very excited to show you. I've been storyboarding for the last few days, and I think I'm pretty much ready to move one to the screenplay. I realized I'll probably be shooting next week, so I need to start  getting my
mise-en-scene aspects ready, and casting the extras! I had totally forgotten about that part. I'll be going thrift shopping this weekend to look for wardrobe and little things I can add here and there.
I'm almost done with the coming of age case study and I'm doing mood boards for each character, I'm also downloading small clips of what I want for each character like something similar to make it easier for the actors, cause the vibe is a little odd.
 Without further a do here is my storyboard:
