Today was a very eventful day. Clara, Virginia, and I were all finally able to meet up and discuss our creative vision in detail. We met up at Virginia's house early in the afternoon, made some mate and brought out some snacks, and got to work. We all divided the script into scenes and shots, and then Virginia and Clara (who both have a lot more expertise than I do in actual media production) took on the role of creating a shot list. While they planned the composition and lighting of every shot, I took on the role of illustrating their vision in a storyboard.
Although we rarely prepare for a film this much, it felt adequate to do here. The three of us have extremely high hopes for this production, and we want to be as prepared as possible for when the filming days are finally among us.

Although we were able to organize the entire script into shots, we only storyboarded the first act. The second act, which will be made up mostly of montage sequences, will be much harder to conceptualize without first having all the footage that we want to include. This is because the montage will include both Diego's own deranged TikToks, but also videos made by the "general public" reacting to his claims. This is something that we plan to film ourselves, and possibly include cameos from other people in our class. Additionally, we will be relying on the help of Andrew Dunham, a close friend of ours who is also a very skilled visual effects animator. He will be helping us bring to life the social media sphere in the form of cool graphic sequences and animations. Because we're still undecided on how we want this to look, we decided to set it aside for later.
We also decided that we want to use a lot of cool-toned lighting. We want to give the impression that his PC is the only source of light in his dim room, and we'll be using blue, purple, and green RGB lights to emulate that. Since we're filming soon, we might need to pay a visit to BECON and rent filming equipment.
