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:

Types of Movies/ Movie Genre

 In Media Studies, On September 20,2021 we had been assigned to work on a project. Researching a film genre. I chose to work by myself and chose comedy. I really liked working by myself, I was able to work at my own pace and at my own convenience outside of school. Although, I was absent when, my classmates were presenting. I was able to do my own research and learn about the other different film genres. I learned that the genre "Sci-fi", incorporated science based themes into films. I also learned that "Romantic comedies tell a love story but just in a humorous way. For the project, I had to research what comedy was, the conventions, the social function, as well as the history and analysis of comedy and finally, I had to watch a movie that best represents the genre. I learned a lot from this project. The history of comedy is what fascinated me the most.  During this project, I kept changing around the movie I was going to watch and analyze. I also feel like I misunderst...

Stage 1 of my final project

This is the first step towards the completion of my portfolio.  To start off, the kind of movie that I'm interested in creating would be an mystery movie. The basic genre convention of my movie would be dark, suspenseful and murder. It's a genre of film that revolves around the solution of the problem or a crime. Other opening sequences of my genre include background knowledge, showing the setting, the characters and what happened all the way up until current. An opening sequence reveals meaning and tone without giving too much away by giving little pieces of what's to come throughout the story, which makes the viewer interested in the storyline. Depending on the genre, not too much action goes on in the opening scene. There might be some action, showing what happened before, leading up until the start of the movie. The settings or locations of other films in my genre are, but are not limited to, forests, homes, buildings, theme parks, etc.. Almost any place that you can go...

Mise-en-Scene

 MISE-EN-SCENE  Although I was absent, when the majority of lesson was taught on Mise-en-Scene. I knew the meaning. Mise-en-scene means everything you see on screen and everything that is on the screen was there for a purpose. I understood that everything that was put on screen was there to make the viewer feel a certain way, it created a mood for the viewer. Mise-en-Scene also includes the props, lighting, costumes, design, and even make up, that play a huge role in a movies meaning as well as the audiences mood and reaction towards the film.  The project on "Photography Mini Project", really helped me understand the elements of Mise-en-Scene a little bit more.  This is the photo that I took, Using the elements of Mise-en-Scene: This project was very fun to do. I really enjoyed it. I was able to play around with the lighting of the photo, adjusting the temperature, and exposure. I was also able, to kind of capture like an illusion, that my subject was jumping into t...
