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!

Case Study of a Mystery Film

                                              Case Study "Shutter Island- By Dennis Lehane" Today, I will be completing a case study on a film of my choice.  I will be talking about the film from its inception all the way to the exhibition. Let's start off! Let's pick a film. I will be picking a film that follows my genre.  I am going to be doing a case study on a mystery film. The film is titled "Shutter Island". I chose this film not only because it is a mystery but also because it involves a lot of the concepts and ideas that we plan on doing in our film.  Let's do a little summary of the film first.

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...

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....
