Week 5

There isn't much to the hierarchy of this internship since I am working on an independent project with the creator of said project. We have been working with a band that is allowing us to use one of their songs in the film, plus with a composer who is writing the instrumentals for background music and a sound editor who is going to be tweaking the sound effects and the voice overs from filming but I am mainly working alongside Brittnay to get the promotional work done so that once the film is actually completed we can launch the website with the trailer and set up an on and off campus screening as well as set up a kickstarter account where people can donate to the film and in return get a dvd/bluray or a promotional poster. We are still playing with ideas for the Kickstarter but I will post the link when it is up and functioning so you can see what price points there are and what you receive for donating at certain price points.

I think that Brittnay and I communicate well together and we gt a lot out of our weekly meetings. We mainly communicate though text and email and face to face during our meetings.

Week 3

Leftovers the movie was shot over the summer and Brittnay has been working on editing since they wrapped filming. the editing is done bit the color correction, sound editing and music overlay is still on the to-do list. I am helping Brittnay with the musical and sound decisions before we send it off to a sound producer who is going to finish the editing. We are also going to me meeting with a composer who is writing background and transitional music for us to use in the film. We also have gotten permission from a local band that Brittnay is friends with to use one of their professionally recorded songs as the film theme and it fits really well tot he message and story line of the movie.

All of those things plus creating promotional posters, editing photos for social media and the movie's website, helping finish and launch the movie's website, coming up with trailer ideas, helping create a kickstarter page, and finding professional film festivals the film would qualify for, are things that Brittnay and I have set as goals for both of us to get out of from this internship experience.

I overall am very interested in going into advertising for film so this project has been exciting to me since Brittnay and I first started talking about setting up and internship. The main things I wish to achieve through this experience is knowledge and experience plus getting to have a little bit of creative fun.

Week 1

My second internship that I am doing this semester is with Professor Brittnay Severance. She shot a movie over the summer called Leftovers and needs help putting together promotional stuff for it. She doesn't really have a mission statement. but her ultimate goal is to get the movie into some sort of festival and perhaps getting a grant because of it so that she can work on other movies and have some money for production costs.
