My Individual Opening

 Welcome!

Today I will be telling you about my process in my individual opening.

Every person in our group had to construct and edit their own opening, with the same shots and concept. After, we will then review each other's work and give some feedback on what we wanted to include in our final opening, and what we didn't. 

Giving feedback to my group members was probably the most challenging part. Hear me out. Although there were some things that I liked that they included. It was hard to take a stand and say what I didn't like. I think we all felt this way. From the way we put in our credits, to the shot sequences, we all had very different ideas of what we thought our opening was going to be. 

But luckily we found our rhythm. We were going through each shot and discussing where we should place it in the opening. This really helped. We also had to remember that constructive criticism and judgment to a certain extent is okay. It's okay to state your opinion and learn to take the feedback and improve.

I do want to share with you all, my individual opening. I felt like I did give it my all. And honestly, that's all you can do. Previously in my other blog, I did mention that I find editing to be tedious. And the same thing applies here, I am not the best at it but I definitely don't think an occupation in the film industry is for me. Once I began completing the last bits of editing left, I felt like I had a boost of serotonin. I don't know if that was because I was almost finished with editing or if I was actually getting the hang of the software. Also, I forgot to mention that I did use "WeVideo" for my individual opening. 

I am pretty happy with my version of the opening. Maybe an 8 out of 10. I tried to match the sound to what I imagined, but finding a free sound was also pretty difficult.

Here is my individual opening:




What do you think? 

Anyways, thank you for reading! See you in the next one!

Production Process

 Welcome! Today I will be telling you about my production process. I was excited to finally start filming the week leading up. My group and I split up the number of supplies we wanted to incorporate in the film. I was in charge of getting the crime scene tape, which I found surprisingly at Home Depot. My other group members brought white chalk and fake blood. We finalized the supplies on a Friday, that way we were able to have time to get the supplies on the weekend.  Week 1:  February 21-25 We decided to start filming the day we came back. But because all of our shots are exterior shots, we had to wait until the next day to get permission to begin filming. On the second day, we did film but we weren't sold on our shots. It didn't look right, it looked rushed. We planned on doing the fake blood scenes first, and that was our first downfall. Starting off, we should have done the non-bloody shots first. We realized this in our second week of filming. But you have to make mi...

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...
