Film project planning- Scouting locations

1. Porch 
The porch would be a great location for the opening scene of the film where I plan on the main character playing music to a small crowd. The outdoor space reminds me a lot of local restaurants where I have seen bands playing so it would be an authentic location. 

2. Drive way 
The driveway is a good location for another scene I had in mind. In this scene I would include the main character packing up his stuff and a person approaches him and hands him a business card. However I may not use this scene because it lacks authenticity, I may want to do this scene in an actual parking lot.

3. Parking Lot

The parking lot is probably a better spot than the drive way because it is more authentic. This would give the feeling that the main character is actually leaving a real restaurant. The same scene that I described for the driveway could take place here instead.


4. Office

The office space would be ideal for a scene that I had in mind for the ending where the main character gets a record deal. This is were another significant character, the owner of the company, would be seen. The office gives this scene a sense of authenticity because it is a real office.

5. Conference room

This is the other potential location for the final scene because unlike the office it is a bit more atmospheric. The long table with the owner of the company sitting at one end would give more intimidation.

Later on he made an appearance in character at Fox's CinemaCon. As things picked up other resources where used such as a deal with Wrangler creating a line of jeans inspired by the film.

Film Genre Research- A Star is Born

"A Star is Born" opens by showing the Production company name with the sound of a crowd cheering in the background. Next the scene shows the main character backstage taking a handful of pills and walking on stage. The camera has a fish-eye effect to it to give the viewer the same intoxicated feeling that the main character is having. The band starts playing, he is playing the guitar. in the middle of the song the scene cuts to him entering the car with screaming fans behind him. The car rolls away and he starts drinking alcohol from the bottle as a ringing sound effect starts to build.
