Moon Walkers Don’t never go home

As a child Juan solo walked on the moon. Ever since hes gotten back, the world has never been the same. The ground is boring, hes pissed all the time, hes issing something. The moon. Realistically he will never return to it. This dilemma is stopping him from trying anything he does. He has post dramatic relief symptoms, where he has visions of being back on the moon. He feels departed from the world, and so different. Just stares at the moon all day. He gets into trouble when he has a vision in the wrong place and the police arrest him. He lands in a psych ward. While in the psych ward on drugs, his mom visits him. Only to tell him he was never on the moon as a child.

            Memory’s of Juan on the moon as a child takes him back to the best times of his 24-year-old life. He remembers being on the moon and getting back on Earth. A tear falls from his face and the loud splash it makes on the ground somehow clicks him out of the dream.

He’s on a coat rack in the mall and everyone is looking at him. He slowly gets off and walks away awkwardly quick wiping the tears off his face. He rounds the corner away from the people and starts walking again.

In another store looking for some baby wipes, he comes across toothpaste. Another memory hits him.

He is back in the shuttle and he squeezes toothpaste onto a plate, puts it in the microwave and it comes out as a chicken.  Him and his space shuttle crew start chowing away and he has a giant smile on his face.

Back to reality he is chewing on toothpaste with a twisted clown smile and rubbing toothpaste on his body. A security guard tackles him and Juan is shouting out obscene fun space voyage nonsense. They arrest him and take him to the station.

In jail a few other jailies come up to him. At this point Juan is having another flashback of himself putting a space helmet on another crew member. He ends up breaking the neck of the other inmate and his hands are just shaking.

Pleading to be insane and showing a lot of insane qualities he ends up in a mental institution. Now at the mental institution he is being medicated and everything gets trippy.

His mom visits him, so sad and stressed. Juan explains how life on Earth doesn’t feel right and he misses the moon. His mom stands up and explains that he was never on the moon! After saying that she just walked away and a pin of the space voyage falls out of her purse. Dum dum dummmmmmm….

            

Portrait Place evaluation mannnn

What was the place you tried to portray?

    My childhood happy memories and the change in that happiness as i grew up.

What details did you choose to portray about this place?

Just me going to those places and trying to remember the memories.

What changes did you make to your plan along the way? That is, how did your pre-production plan change when you filmed, and what new discoveries did you make in post-production?

Well I didn't really have a plan going into it besides the places i was going to do, and then during filming i thought of how to put it together, and this certain scene on my video wouldn't work so i just had to think oof a new idea.

Name at least one change (or more) you would like to make to your film. Why?

Better audio and maybe more planned out wording of what i said, i kind of just free-balled it.

Highlight the boxes where you feel you fit.
