Title Design
As a group we decided to name our film EGO. The name EGO was chosen based off of the storyline of a teenage boy letting fame get to him once he reveals his identity as EGO, the well-known YouTuber. Below is our title design which was created by one of my group members.

Behind the Scenes
Below is a YouTube link that leads to our behind the scenes footage. The majority of the video takes place in "Franky's Room" because we were able to hang one of our phones with an object that has a suction cup that attaches to glass. We weren't able to gather much footage of behind the scenes in the "school" location. We were going to have someone film for behind the scenes for the school, however we needed as many extras in the scene to make the scene seem like a more realistic school environment.

The Script for the Opening of the Film
Setting: Room in the morning
Black video
Titles appear
Int. Room. Morning
A bedroom is shown. FRANKIE GIBSON wakes up and gets up into the frame. The alarm starts playing and really wakes him up. He then walks out of the bed. A computer is shown from afar and the camera pushes forward when he exits the frame.
Music starts playing as radio quality. When drum hits… A website appears on the screen. It’s YouTube
On the Youtube search bar, the actor’s name is typed. The mouse moves on related videos and shows the other actor’s names as it moves down. The shot cuts to the whole video and shows the title of the movie. Montages of the different videos is shown with the titles of the crew. It ends with an establishing shot of a school with DIRECTED BY. The shot is out of focused on a group of kids talking about the YouTuber and then FRANKIE passes by them, coming into frame and the camera follows him
He gets to a hallway/walkway, someone trips him.
FRANKIE
Hey listen, I need to get to class. You apes got to get back to the zoo.
*FRANKIE is pushed to the ground. A high angle shot of FRANKIE on the ground looking up. Then a low angle of the bully*

The bell rings. EMMA stops EDDIE.
EMMA
Hey! Stop! Keep this up or you’re going to prom by yourself
EDDIE
You’re lucky Gibson…
*FRANKIE gets up. The mask falls off as waves of people crowd the _______. Nobody pays attention to the mask. Suddenly two feet stop. A guy picks it up. AXEL SMITH, a very popular student from a high class family. He will be the one that changes the story. He smirks and hides the mask.

The Mask Used for the Film
One of my group members and I decided to make the mask that will be featured in the film. The mask is inspired by this sketch below.
I first purchased the white mask shown below, and I started drawing out the lines that will shape the eyes, mouth, and forehead design. Next I paint those outlined areas black. I did two coats of paint to make sure the color would be solid. Next I paint the rest of the mask red, and applied three coats. After letting the mask dry, it was now time to apply the black shape that is placed at the top of the mask. To make this black hair-like object, which is made by a black fuzzy material, I shape it so that it has a point at the end and then sow it to keep the shape. After sowing, and finalizing the shape, I then get a hot glue gun and attach the hair-like object to the back of the mask. The mask is now complete. Below are before and after photos of the mask that I created.
The mask shown below was made by my group member, and it ended up being the mask we chose to use for the film. He made the mask with paper michet, cardboard (for the eyebrows), and spray paint (black and green).
