Opening Scene Moodboard

 Hello blog! For todays blog I'm going over some of the details of my film opening scene with a description and mood board.

For this mood board I tried to capture the creepy and dark tone and vibe of our plot and setting. I also represent our characters such as the antagonist which will be a dark entity brought upon our group of teens after discovering an "evil camera". The setting will be after hours at a high school where our group of teens is somewhere they shouldn't be.

Peer Reviews of First Cut Movie Opener

Hello blog! My group and I collaborated to review our fellow groups videos and write what we thought were good and bad about each. FILM #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX32iRuSMvc What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like? In this film, I really appreciated the parallel editing. It made the film interesting and dynamic. The parallel editing alongside the tracking shots made it feel like we were actually in the film. Additionally, I feel that the music in this film helped add to the romantic atmosphere.

There was also a lot of background noise in the dialogue ...

Evaluation of Peer Reviews

They all contributed to building tension and uneasiness in the clip.   2. Technical elements I did not enjoy were the lack of brightness and the lack of sound effects in specific parts of the opener. For example, during the scene with the dark hallway it is harder to interpret what is occurring and could leave the audience a bit confused.   3. This did look like a movie opener and makes the audience want to learn more considering it is left on a cliffhanger.   4.   What left me confused was the volume of the dialogue throughout the opener as it would sometimes be too loud or too...

Filming Process

 Hello Blog, this post will be covering my group's process in filming. Planning: All the way up until last week my group was planning for our film location and time. We finally settled with our ideas around Monday and planned to film on Tuesday. Filming: We decided to actually get our filming done on Tuesday 2/11. We chose multiple locations for our different scenes which capture some teens "breaking into a school".  This picture shows one of my group members capturing a shot of the very beginning our our film introduction where I can be seen messing with the computer, emulating a teen checking their grades for the purpose of our plot, this is the motivation for the teens to break into school as they want to change their grades. This image captures my classmate and I filming a POV shot inside of a creepy corridor inside the school. We choose this setting in order to add a dark element to the film  and go along with our idea of a thriller type movie. The above two images c...
