  After my establishing shot, there will be a shot of the girls jumping on the trampoline. The shot will be mid-shot with the girls as the main focus of the shot. There will be little to no depth. This is because I want the viewers to just focus on the girls and the bond of sisterhood they have. They will also be holding hand to show how close they are. I was thinking of a handheld shot, to put the viewer in the action with the girls but I think it will be to much with the bouncing. There will be music over it, and I think a voice over (not sure yet), the viewer can obviously see that they are happy. The tone will be brighter so they can see this is a good memory.  To embody the childhood memory vibe I want shots of the girls playing. This shot will be of them playing tag. It will be a long shot with depth. The location will be the big open part in froth of the barn and woods. I want the girls to stay in frame for most of the time so there is no awkward parts with no one in fr...

 For my final project I wouldn't use anything fancy to film. I just will use my iPhone to film and to edit. The iPhones make it easy for people that aren't familiar with editing/filmmaking. I won't be spending any money for props because I'll be using what we have around the house. The distinctive prop I'll be using is a picture frame of the younger version of my character. The picture within the picture ties together that they are the same person just different eras in their life. One big prop I'll be using is my sister's car. For costumes they will be just wearing the clothes they normally do because it is a modern story. The outfits correlate to this time frame, her memories are from 2008 and her present self is in 2019.  ____________________ I plan on filming in my house and in my yard. I don't need permission from my parents because they are totally cool with me filming here. I will also be filming in my sister's car. As well as around my neighb...

 Im doing good on time with production. I'm at the stage where I don't know if I should film more or just add text to what I have now. Right now I'm a little over a min and 30. When filming my sister it's like pulling teeth so I don't know if I'll be able to record anymore. If this is where I'm done with the filming phase, now all I have to do is put the credits and the production intros. The filming phase went good, I didn't need to do a lot of takes. My favorite part of filming was with the girls. They were very easy to record and get the essence of children being children. The sound phase of production was easy, I can say that iMovie is the easiest to edit especially with sound. iMovie allows you to add sound behind videos and change the volume of both. That's what I have so far for the production phase of mu final project.

 Targeted audiences are a group of people with specific interest. Films within the coming of age films normal targeted audience is teenagers. Ages from 13 to 18 because they are the most likely to relate with these films. This is because they are going through the topics within the coming of age genre. Older people can also relate because they once were teenagers too. My targeted audience for my film is mainly teenagers as well, but also older people because they can relate to my film. My targeted audience is the same as the genre as a whole. The combination of years throughout her life, her childhood, teen life, and adulthood. A lot of teens can relate to growing out of your childhood. Teens with absent parents and having to grow up faster than others can relate a lot more on a different level. The targeted audience of the genre will continue to be successful in the future. Older coming of age films are quite popular because the are considered "classics." For example, "...

 I chose the "coming of age" genre for my final project. Coming of age films are centered around the growth from youth to adulthood of the protagonist. The first coming of age film came out in 1955, It is named "Rebel Without a Cause." This film is about emotionally confused middle-class teenagers and it explores differences and conflicts between generations. Some incredible examples of coming of age films are "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club," "Stand By Me," and "the Perks of Being a Wallflower." "Stand By Me" is an adaptation of Stephen Kings book "The Body," it follows a group of boys go on a journey to discover the dead body of a missing boy. The film is a flash back to 1959 and the boys friendship and growth in the view of older Gordie. Another incredible coming of age film that was adopted from a book is "The Outsiders," it follows the struggles of a group of 1960's greasers.  One ...

Production: I would want Growing Pains to have a large scale production, and be financed by a studio. It will be filmed on nice cameras, but nothing too extra like 3D. I'm going for a happy vibe during the childhood memories and sad vibe during current time frame. So, the color design/editing would be very important. Music is a very key point in my film, a faster pace for the childhood memories and slower pace for when she is older. I chose the actresses I think would best fit my characters. My sister Hailey plays my character Cora. Then, Bailey plays younger Cora and Kylie plays younger Eleanor. Picking actress that I believe would best fit my character is a little dificult becaus ethere are so many good actresses. I believe I would pick to play Cora is Jennifer Lawrence. I think that she could bring a lot to the film and would portray the emotions of Cora increadbly. For younger Cora I would pick Mia Talerico and for younger Eleanor I would pick Mckenna Grace.
