Wow.
So this is the end. 2 years of being in an Aice Media studies class and my final project is finished. And this has by far been one of my favorites.
I put a lot of time and thought into this story, it’s something I’ve been working on since November. When I got assigned this project, I decided this would be an awesome opportunity to showcase this storyline.
Throughout the filming of this project, I didn’t find myself struggling as much with ideas because I wrote a script prior so I had some scenes laid out and knew exactly what I wanted to. Aside from the camera dying a few time, technically I was ok.
My best friend, Alyssa, is a film student at the University of Miami and she helped me film and bounce ideas for the layout of the trailers. Because I wanted to do most shots of Miles and Taylor together, it was easier to just have an extra hand on the camera.
We were able to film everything in a span of 2 days, which is relatively short, but I believe because I put so much into the behind the scenes that when we ready to film it was go time.
I’m excited to hear what my classmates and teacher think of my work. I am very nervous because I feel like I have such high expectations of myself and every piece I create I definitely overthink it.
I had so much fun with this. I love acting for my pieces because I feel like I have more control over the way it comes out. The actor who played Miles, Caleb, and I acted off each other prior to this for one of Alyssa’s short films. That being said I knew how we looked on camera together and how the chemistry looks. That’s actually how we met and began to date.
Long story short, this piece means a lot to me because it’s more than just a story for a class, it’s about an issue that isn’t showcased enough in film, but we will talk more about this in the CCR... Thank you so much for following along with this blog, it has been so awesome to be apart of. Wishing you all the best!
I wanted to share the social media logo. I know I blogged a few minutes ago but I just created this and wanted to share it because it came out exactly how I wanted it! This is what we would be using as a temporary poster as well until we have the photo shoot for the film which will take place the following week.
Happy Monday y’all!
So the social media starts! I made the official Instagram of the film and will begin posting content this week once filming starts. As of now I’m just editing the profile and creating the profile picture/logo for the social media.
This week I’m going to start filming some more night shots and get as much content as I can in the next 2 weeks so editing will be easier.
The more video I have the easier it will be to display trailers that correspond with the voiceovers that I want to use.
EXT. HOLLYWOOD BEACH- SUNSET
THE SUN IS SETTING AND IT’S WINDY OUTSIDE. TAYLOR IS LOOKING DOWN AT MILES WHILE STANDING ON TOP OF A LIFEGUARD TOWER. MILES IS LOOKING UP AT TAYLOR WITH HIS ARMS OUT, WAITING TO CATCH HER.
MILES
It’s tradition baby!
The wind is blowing like crazy and Taylor is hesitant.
TAYLOR
You got me right?

CUT TO:
INT. CALEB'S APARTMENT- NIGHT
INT. MILES’S APARTMENT - 4 AM.
MILES- 6 FT, DARK HAIR, WEARING no shirt, boxers, and barefoot, opens his eyes midsleep. TAYLOR- BLONDE, 5,8, WEARING A DARK PURPLE LONG SLEEVE, IS SLEEPING IN BED NEXT TO MILES. Miles gets out of bed and walks outside the bedroom into the front hallway of the apartment. Looking at only the front door, he slowly grabs his car keys off the key holder and heads out the door leaving the front door wide open. Taylor is left sleeping on the bed unaware.
CUT TO:
EXT. SUNRISE BLVD.-NIGHT
Miles and Taylor are sititng in the front of Miles CAMERO screaming and laughing. Miles is hitting almost 170. Justin flies by Miles and Taylor in his DODGE CHARGER. They both are now racing. A COP turns on blue lights and is chasing Miles and Taylor. Taylor and Miles are freaking out.
TAYLOR
Turn right! Turn right!
Miles sharply turns the car to the right as they both lean with it. Taylor is grabbing on smiling. The cop is still behind them chasing them.
Justin comes out from another turn and signals caleb with his hands. The two start crossing and the cop leaves.
CUT TO:
EXT. MILES AND TAYLORS DRIVE WAY.-NIGHT
The two cars slowly pull up to the drive way. Windows are pulled down and everyone is laughing.
MILES

Taylor fixes her hair.

Miles and Taylor watch Justin ride off fast. Miles turns and faces Taylor.
MILES
You’re my number one supporter.
Taylor smirks seductively.
TAYLOR
Ride or die baby.
Miles moves closer to Taylor. Taylor and Miles makeout passionaltey. Miles picks up Taylor and sits her down on the trunk.
MILES
You really turned my world upside
down you know that? I still think
about the first day we met.
TAYLOR
Who would have thought poppy
flowers would bring us here?
(Smirking)
MILES
Who would have thought MS.COVERGIRL
Would fall for MR.NOBODY.
OH C’MON.
TAYLOR
Miles sits back on the car with Taylor and gazes at the night sky.
Taylor’s Voiceover
Miles, I would do so much for you
You make me want to give you the life you've always dreamed of
I want you here forever, next to me, I want to love you forever
You make me feel warm and safe like a fire on a winter night.
I feel whole by your side knowing you are always there for me.
There’s no bigger reward in life than to wake up to your best friend
I kiss you and I taste love,
I look into your eyes, and I see love
When you hold me, I feel love
If ever times get tough, I hope you know you have me
You can never be too much for someone who can't get enough of you Miles
I will always take care of you.
00 Sometimes, we need to slow down to appreciate all the good things in life
But you Miles, you are the good things in life.
I will always try my best to understand you,
To grow closer, to fall in love harder
Its you and me forever
Goodnight sweetheart
Miles Voiceover
My other half, Taylor.
Where do I begin
Life with you is unpredictable.
You never know what good things are about to happen.
I can see that shine in your eye when you laugh for all the little things I do.
When I tell you I folded the towels and completely forget that I never did.
It’s clear you just want to roll your eyes but you don’t.
Instead, you smile and we fall in love with each other even more and more.
You accept me as I am.
You make me who I am
When you smile, my heart smiles.
You challenge me to do things I never thought I could do.
You challenge me to be a better man than I ever imagined.
I fall in love with all the things you never know you’re doing.
When you grunt your teeth after curling your hair because it just didn’t come out.. Perfect.
I smile because to me it’s the most perfect hair I’ve ever seen.
Every time you hold on to me,
Rub my chest, kiss my lips
I feel closer, and closer to you
Everything seems perfect all the time
Like a movie, too good to be true
Maybe it is too good to be true
You saved me.
I can't live this life without you.
Do I make you smile Taylor?
Do you still get those butterflies when we touch?
Good morning!
So I wanted to create a script outline to help motivate my direction with my film. I’m planning on using some of the scenes I write as apart of the trailer.
I also wanted to use the script to help readers get a better understanding of how the writing is playing out. I’ve dedicated this week and all three of my blog posts to sharing what I have so far with you. I’m planning on writing 10 pages. Here are my first 2.
So, I have reached out to the company who owns the rights to the song. I am waiting to hear back from them, but I will keep you all updated with the response process. I might reach out again in about a week if I don’t hear anything.
