planning blog- title design

Image
 For the opening credits of of my film I want them to dissolve into the screen. For the font I want want to use something like this or this. Only the first letter in each word will be uppercase Like This. There is a 95% chance my film will be named Sweet Revenge. The titles will dissolve into the screen and then fade away in 3-4 seconds. The color of the text will be black. It will look like Directed By : Marissa Moreno. 

Planning Blog: Location, participants, health, schedule

 The location for my film would most likely be like somewhere in a secluded area in a park, an empty street and a bedroom. The people participating in the film will most likely be my 3 friend and I. Im pretty sure we are all healthy accept one of my friend she has such a weak immune system she's sick almost once every month. I hope she'll be okay when we film. The plan is to start filming sometime after I finish my storyboard. So, around march 6-9.   March 6-9: start filming march 13: be done filming march 15: start editing march 20 : be done with editing

title research: Train to Busan

 1. The titles displayed in the opening sequence are the entertainment company, the distributer, the executive producer, producer and the cast.  2. Images in the opening sequence are people with hazardous suits.  3.  The images give the viewer a clue that the movie is about an outbreak.  4. The film gives the feeling of like what is going on? and why their is people in suits tending to the mystery feel. 5. The character appeals to the audience because he has this attitude with the gaurds and he suspects that they are lying about some leak outbreak, so the viewer might get curious and want to know what is is about.   6. The props are use effectively such as the large spray disinfectors and the dialogue because again, they grab the viewers attention.

 1. Only the title of the movie is displayed in the opening sequence. 2. A girl getting called by a random guy stranger is prioritized in the opening sequence. 3.  The image tells the viewer what the movie will be about a guy going around talking with random people.  4.  The guy calling a random girl that late at nights gives a mysterious feeling as well as eerie.  5. The diegetic sound from the phone ringing and the setting being late at night pulls in the reader wanting to know why this mysterious thing is going on .  6.  They use pan to show around the setting showing that it is night and a closeups on the phone when it rings to give an impact.

 1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The titles of the Network provider and the company that represents the movie are shown   2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  In the sequence majority of the images seen are phones. People on their phones all the time.  3.  What connotations do these images carry?  This carrys a connection that the whole movie plot will include something about phones. 4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?  The film gives off the mystery feeling because you see this person on their phone all day you think isn't that what I do as well? I wonder why a movie showcases this? What would I do without my phone? The movie opening sequence creates all these questions in your head.  5.  The movie appeals to the audience by using cheerful non-diegetic music and it shows phones which is our generations biggest obsession.  6.  The setting is used great because in the begging of the opening is the sun

1. During the title sequence titles of the actors names are being displayed as well as the name of the movie.  2. Images of the character's house window is being show in the background while the titles are being shown. As well as the character's house.  3. These images carry out what the whole movie is about like the beginning showcases how the poor live in South Korea's society.  4. I don't think the opening fully establishes the actual genre not until you're a bit more into the movie. You can still sense some mystery when being shown the window because you're wondering why they live underground. I feel like if you actually were a local you wouldn't question it, but if you're a foreigner not a lot of countries have underground houses.  5. The whole vibe overall especially the lighting used it just gives the viewer that feeling of what is this? I need to keep watching it.  6. I think the cameral movement and lighting is used effectively. In the opening s

Title Research: Watch the Titles and Art of the Title

website1: While trying to find websites to do my research on, I found this one named Watch the Titles. It is not too bad. It has a few movie sequences that might interest the viewer. The website is easy to navigate. Also, the website is free so there is that it is beneficial for me.  website 2: Honestly this was my favorite website. It was extremely wide range of opening sequences from popular movies. The website is really attractive to the viewer because of the bright colors so i don't feel bored looking at it. I found more opening sequences that have the same genre i am interested in as well. It is also easy to navigate.

This movie has the right camera movements that I want to have in my final task. What I did like about the movie itself is the camera movements they were really cool and helped tie the whole movie together making it feel like you were there. Something I did not like about the movie was the makeup it was too much for me it was sort of ugly in my opinion.

 Some elements this movie has that I want to include in my movie is the acting because I think the actors did pretty good. an element I like in the movie is the lighting I think it was perfect. Something I disliked is the set it was the same throughout the whole movie which can get boring.

Before anything, I cannot stress this enough if you haven't watched this movie you're really missing out I love it. A few elements in this movie that I want to chose to base off in my final talk are the costumes, camera angles, and the dialogue. Something I really likes about the movie is the dialogue. I like how you never know what the character's next set of words will be it always leaves you blown away. Honestly, there was nothing that did not appeal to me the movie was just too good everything was perfect to the angles from the sound absolute chef's kiss. 

genre convention decision hmmm

 1. I really enjoy romance films they are my favorite. I would love to make one with a school based setting. Having lovely music in the background with soft lighting. A kind of corny type of love, but in a cute way. Sadly, I can't choose this because I don't have enough actors for it unless I tried making a female based love it might work out.  2. Horror seems fun to film, but I don't think it is my cup of tea. I feel like I don't have enough creativity for it. I don't have an idea of where to I would film because my choices are pretty limited. Also, I would have to think a lot on the costumes and makeup to give it the horror feel. The lighting also seems like a pain to edit. Overall, I am not doing horror.  3. This seems like my best option. Mystery is my second favorite genre. I think with my abilities this genre will workout the best for me. I already have an okay plot already planned out. Also, the actors I have seem to fit best with this genre. In the end, my f

 The third genre I am most interest in would have to be horror. Horror films usually have like this weird dim lighting I don't know how to describe it but it is always giving you this weird vibe. They also contain these scary non-diegetic sounds that build up suspense for jump scares. A few common settings in horror films are new homes, the woods or abandoned places. For props there is usually weapons and such that the characters use to defend themselves or the predator uses it to scare their victims. For costume the good characters are usually wearing regular clothing such as a t-shirt and jeans. the bad or scary character usually wears something like a doll outfit if it is a girl. For the makeup, there sometimes could be blood or like the character can have a deformed face.  For sound there is always something falling or moving whenever everything gets quiet to show that something scary is going on. There is a lot of cutaway editing in horror films. For example, The scary charact

 Another genre I am interested in is romance because it is my favorite one to watch. I have noticed that a lot of romance movies none-diegetic sound such as osts that have love related lyrics and a vibe to it. Like whenever a butterfly in your tummy type scene comes up they usually start playing the music. They tend to have soft lighting to try and showcase the purity of love and so it can melt your heart sort of. There also tends to be a lot of 2 shots in romance films because the plot most likely is based around 2 actors who are the main couple in the film. There can also be a secondary couple that are usually best friends with the main couple. An example of romance movies would be The Notebook and 20th Century Girl. A lot of romance films are always filmed in school or workplace settings. Probably to make the viewers relate to it or something based on the ages of the cast. For costume and makeup the female role is usually dressed really pretty with nice natural makeup. If the love i

Common camera angles in your genre (CAMS) camera angles, mSome common camera angles in the  (CAMS) camera angles, movement, shots  Common Mis-En-Scene in your genre (CLAMPS) Mis-En-scen  Common Editing in your genre  One of the genres that interest me is mystery. I did some research to see what elements I should put in my film to give it that feel. Some common camera angles in the mystery genre would be birds eye view, close up, pan and reverse shots. Mystery movies are also known for having dark like scenes and setting to give it that feel. As well as using minimal makeup to give the actors a relatable look, so we can relate more to them. They often also include weapons as props such as knifes and guns. Non diegetic sounds are used in the editing of the movie to give it the mysterious feel. They use like eerie sounds to build suspense. Some mystery films are Parasite, Shutter Island and Scream. The thing I like about this genre is that you sometimes never know what will happen next

my pitch to you - pitch blog

1. My first idea is to have a plot where a girl is going to a new school and on her first day she experience her y/n moment.  2. My second idea is to have a plot of a girl being bullied at the beginning in the park by these group of girls. 1. The video will begin with the sound of a school bell ringing. The new girl will be walking into her new school. As soon as she walks in everyone is staring at her because of how pretty she is and is wondering who she is since they have never seen her before. She goes to the office and then some girl is assigned to give her a tour of the school. While the girl is helping the new girl with her locker and eventually opens it. This popular cute bad boy of the school closes her locked like a cliche move. He then proceeds to tell her a pick up line. Then she wakes up. 2. The video will start with a sound of someone falling to the ground and it will be a girl being pushed down by these group of girls. The girls are talking down on her over this boy. Then

I have been absent in this class quiet awhile. Me and my classmate had decided on working together. Now that I came back from being absent it seems like things have changed. She has seem to find her own group, so I have to find what I am going to do with myself. We are currently waiting on a response to see if their is a spot for me in their group. I hope their is because I really do not want to work by myself on a project like this one. It is a lot more work and I believe it cannot be done on my own. Especially how I could barely manage the last 1 minutes project how will I do a 2 minute one? Anyways my friend told me if their is no space for me she will still help me on my project. I will probably decline since I do not want to bother her. I will probably just ask my friends to be my actors I feel like the 2 minutes intro movie will be impossible with only me as an actor. I hope everything gets solved pretty soon. The group assignments are around the corner. I was honestly thinking o

 Hey I am back again. A few exciting things have happened in my life since last time. Recently on February 3, I turned 16. It's so crazy I don't even feel that old. It's as if i'm stuck in my 13 year old self from quarantine. It feels really weird to be honest. Also, I recently just got a 90% on my math test last week. i am so proud of myself it is my first time getting that high of a math score in high school. Quiet a sad fact, but at least I am improving. Recently, I have been back intro watching a lot of Netflix shows. I am currently watching physical 100 which I think is a really good show. I have also been into this k-pop survival show called boys planet. I have been hooked on it since the pre-show. Right now we're doing daily voting until the 3rd episode so that your fave contestants can stay in the show. Since half of the participants are getting eliminated. There is this anime i am into lately called Kimi Ni Todoke which I am into. It is about a girl who is
