Initial planning

    Time to plan? Probably the most stressful part, as I mentioned how indecisive I am. As i was researching more and more about the genre and OCD now i don't know if I should make this into an actual horror film having to do with an OCD criminal or just the daily life of someone with this mental disorder. I feel as if making this into a crime scene will only make me a little nauseous and make the process not as educational and enjoyable, but it would be way more interesting. 

   But, to be quite honest the ritual of the criminals I have read about quite scary yet unbelievable. I read about two specific criminals, Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgwayand their killings having to do with rituals. They obviously had some OCD and this gave me a little bit of inspiration. 


  
   Though I have yet to pick wether i want to do it towards the crime ritual side or a POV/ more explanatory video. The explanatory video I believe can be more educational and easier to produce and I can add specific rituals that I have heard about from people I know. For know I am going to do my research on OCD deeply and also the crime perspective. I will love to educate people on the different scenarios of OCD as many people are not clear of what it is all about and how it can be cured.


   
  My production will be filmed by me and edited because I feel like I can easily incorporate all the camera shots, angles, lighting, movement, etc. techniques i have learned this year. My dad will most likely be the actor on this film as he is as interested in film as I am. 
   
  A little about me before I forget to mention is I used to have a youtube channel dedicated to makeup as funny as it sounds. I used to be so dedicated and interest din the arts of not just makeup but also the different camera and editing techniques. I even had a Canon Rebel T3i and Final Cut Pro to edit my videos. This spark the creative side in me and my dad was also a big part of helping me get out there and enjoy what i loved to do. I then faced something that geared my focus on something else rather than youtube, and stopped posting videos. It didn't feel the same when i went back although i still regret not making them. My young self was so happy with the camera in my hands making videos about my passion.
   
  I know i just went off track talking about myself but that shows my attention span. I began to talk about that because i was planning out my actors. My dad of course would be in this production. If this film is the POV it would be him most likely and i will incorporate the shots in some scenes and the OCD examples. 
   
   If this film turns out to be a crime ritual scene, I will obviously beg my friends to be in my video since I feel like i can't act very well. For now those are my two ideas and I am super excited to do this production I actually can't with to begin brainstorming my storyboard and get all my ideas together next week.
