Update For What I'm Upto

At the moment i think I'm still good for shooting, I still have the final scene to script and still need to storyboard, but I have my costuming done, finished my casting, and have a lot of things done for what I could work on. I'm still a little behind due to having to work the past 6 days and my computer being broken but I've completed what I can at school and I feel satisfied i can still meet the production deadline.

I wasn't quite able to get photos of everyone since I had to just try to get pages when I could. However, I can wrap up everything else that needs done in the next 4 days since I can't film in the class period or anything.

To be frankly honest I haven't done much having been out before the Corona outbreak and being mistold that we didn't have any school work over the course of the virus outbreak, but I do have photos of what I do have done so far and I will continue working on the script and finishing pre-production so I can finish filming once school opens back up. I wanted to make it really easy to look up who it was, what side they're on, and any other information that would be necessary for me to recount these events with as much historically accurate as possible. You can't see it cause I didn't crop these images correctly but on the left side of the screen all the different categories are kept up so I can easily navigate through my admittedly clunky notes. Another little bit of costuming as well as a look at some of the music I plan on including in my film. I'll have to hope my actors are good at singing. I know that I have a lot of characters, and there'

Understanding Plato's Allegory of the Cave

I felt if I was going to create a film as a modern interpretation of the allegory, I should do my research and really break down the story so I don't lose the key components of it. So, I'm going to go over the events before the story, the story itself, and its affect on society to this day. Before The Story In the story Plato says that the person narrating is Socrates, his old teacher who was executed by the Athen government for "corrupting the minds of Athen youths." According to my english teacher he was apparently offered either death or exile and he chose death. Most people think of Socrates as a voluntary scapegoat since he chose this way and it points to him being something of a martyr. In reality Socrates was moreso a preacher of free and individual thinking, which the government did not appreciate and actually falls in line with the theme I want my films to have this year. Plato released the story saying that they were Socrates words and not his own,

End of Marking Period 2 Blog Post

Exploration of Ideas At the beginning of the year I knew I wanted to do my own take on Allegory of the Cave. It was one of the first things we read in my World Literature class and while we were reading I could kind've just see scenes coming together in my head and I knew it was a challenge I wanted to take on.  Planning While planning for this I watched a lot of videos and read a few articles discussing the philosophy of the Allegory and honestly gained a lot of critical information I needed for my interpretation of things. Honestly I think my ideas match the same ideals as Plato and Socrates, sort of critiquing the government and how things are handled. I'm not an extremely political person (in fact I'm a moderate) but there are still some really messed up ways the government handles things and I think showing an exaggerated form of it is perfect to exemplify the metaphor. Producing To be honest there hasn't been much production yet. I've learned a lot o
