Scripting Our Opening Scene

This is the second step of completing my portfolio.

This step will mostly consist of the finance and production of films. To start off, we must start with the script. My group and I are going to conduct a mystery film. It will be more beneficial if I research and look at scripts that reside with my genre. Mystery film scripts mostly consist of including every detail in a crime. You must plan out the who, what, where, why, and how. Knowing these things are beneficial to writing the script. Another important thing to consider doing is listing out your suspects and their motives. You must be able to use the settings to exaggerate the atmosphere of it. For instance, if you don't tell but express that there is danger everywhere and change around the location every so often the reading will find it very much suspenseful and interesting. Instead of telling everything that is happening, show them, this will give the reader a chance to put the puzzle together. Not to mention, mystery films are filled with false clues. You have to misdirect your reader, this will build even more suspense. 

After some research, I found a script that is similar to mine, Link to similar script. The reason why I chose this script because it includes a plethora of dialogue. Our script will include tons of dialogue. I also liked that this script also included different locations. Both interior and exterior. Which is what we also plan on doing. 

My group and I have worked on scripting our opening scene. Our opening scene will include scenes both inside and outside, it also includes fade-ins and fade-outs. 

Here is my script:

Timeline Process of My Final Project (Week By Week)

On January 12, 2022. In class, we started working on our final project. Which was to create a film opening (2 minutes) of any genre. My situation was different than those of my classmates.  The first thing we did in class, was decide on our group members.  January 12, 2022 I am working in a group of three, including myself. My two partners were unfortunately out because of Covid 19. Which only left me to work on the project. The first thing I made sure to do was, get their contacts from another friend. With that, I was able to start communicating with them. I made it an initiative to make them feel included, and kept them updated on what was going on in class. We messaged and came up with our genre. We all agreed on a mystery. We all enjoy solving problems and I have a very high curiosity for things.  After that, it was time to start working on our film ideas.  January 17,2022 We all pitched different ideas, but the one I picked ended up being the winner. We decided ...

How I decided on my group

 Welcome!  Today I will be breaking down my experience into choosing my group members to work on the Final Project. On January 17, 2022 we started picking our group members and solidifying our picks. I knew that going into this project, I didn't want a big group. I wanted to pick people that I knew I could count on. I also wanted to work with people that I knew would be open with me, complete the work in a timely order, and communicate with me.  Taking all of that into consideration, I decided on working with 1. Sara Alexander (Component #1) 2. Jennifer Blandon (Component #2) I believe that with the three of us, we will be able to rock this project! I think that we all work great together.  Although, it might be more work on our part because we are a smaller group. I think that we can handle it.   So yeah, that was basically my process of choosing. I wanted people who can keep each other on task and not get carried away with their friends.  When coming...

All about Mystery !

Welcome and get ready for an adventure!  Today we will be focusing on the concepts and what goes into mysteries. Let's talk about settings What are the settings or locations where mysteries are filmed? Well. Mysteries are normally filmed in all different time periods. Mysteries are also normally set in various locations. You might mostly see forests, cemeteries, homes, buildings. But these locations can keep going on and on.  Not to mention,  Sometimes the mystery may take place in a magical or unusual place. Most mysteries use realistic or familiar places to make the viewer feel more connected to the story. The more connected you feel to the film, the more REAL it feels to you. As for the timeframe, mysteries are normally filmed in the day. Well, it depends on the TYPE of mystery. For a mystery with murder, it might happen at night or in the evening. Maybe even in the morning? You never really know. There is no specific timeframe, it depends on the storyline of the film....
