Initial Brainstorming/ Story Boarding

  Hello blog! My group and I are working on our opening clip and we're dabbling on a few ideas but let me tell you about our top one! 

Title: “Betrayed Shadows” 

Genre: Mystery, thriller 

Characters: Beth Sinclair (protagonist), Julie Bennett (kidnapper/friend one), Dirk Derk (friend two) 

 Costuming: Protagonist wears - White tank top with a white flowy mesh see through shirt over it and some blue jeans and white shoes.

Lowkey lighting.   

 Thought process- Our thought process behind the scenes was that we wanted to capture the chilling thriller of betrayal within a friend group and also the concept of a high school thriller. We discussed the setting being mostly in the forest, we found that to be the most mysterious setting for our story. The plot of the story was decided to be the friend to be the kidnapper because it was the most exaggerated plot because mostly people don't see it coming. We were brainstorming on what the turn of events would be, we came up with her getting hit over the head, stalked, killed, we had plenty of ideas but the one we decided on made the, most sense. We also had plenty of ideas on who the kidnapper would be, our ideas were a random stranger or a friend of the main character, and we chose the friend because it would make a better story because the main character wouldn't suspect that one of her own friends would want to hurt her. The color we chose for the protagonist was white to mostly symbolize her innocence in the whole thing, so the audience can tell like she's a nice person and overall, something bad happens to her.

 

 

In the bathroom as Julie gets ready. She is fixing her hair and stuff, taking to Beth 

 

JULIE 

(Calling out) Can you hurry up? They’re gonna be waiting for us 

BETH 

(through the stall) I’m almost done 

JULIE 

(as Beth walks out of the stall) I’ll meet you outside 

BETH  

(as Julie is leaving) Wait Jules- 

Julie is already gone.  

Beth sighs and begins washing her hands before she hears something and pauses. She shakes it off and keeps washing her hands and fixing her hair. She pauses again and turns around slightly when she hears something, looking for a little longer. She turns back around and begins putting lip gloss on before hearing a whisper and getting annoyed, finally calling out. 

BETH 

Hello?  

When no one answers she begins walking alongside the stalls before pausing at one and standing in front of it. She starts crouching down to look under before Julie calls back into the bathroom. 

 

JULIE 

(frustrated) Beth come on!!! 

Spooked by the sudden noise, Beth bolts back up and shakes it off. 

BETH 

(Her voice wavering) Coming! 

She grabs her stuff and quickly rushes out, leaving who, or what, ever in the bathroom. 

 

The location changed to the woods 

BETH 

Do you know where they are? 

She asks walking alongside them. 

JULIE 

Somewhere in...there 

She trails off looking forward to the abyss of tree 

DIRK 

I’m pretty sure we’re lost. Theres no lake..or people around 

Beth sighs and continues following behind, looking uneasy. She falters and looks behind her for a moment before continuing. 

BETH 

Where did..you go?  

She trails off after realizing she is now alone. She looks around, breathing heavier and looking nervous  

BETH 

HEY?! 

She yells out looking for someone to answer. She keeps walking forward aimlessly. After walking for a few minutes, she sees something in the dirt. She approaches thinking nothing of it. Shes surprised, and then we see her get chloroformed before the camera cuts to black and then shows the title.

Editing and Transitions

Image
 Titanic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtVyu-A3vkY Hey guyssss, it's me again!! Today we are going to analyze the editing work and transitions of the opening scene of "Titanic".   Fade- In Transition: (0:04-0:05) -A fade in transition is when the screen fades in from typically a black or white screen. This transition signifies the official opening of the scene, and it fades into a crowd of people waving to the ship which allows the audience to acknowledge the fact that the boat is leaving. The transition also gives the audience an idea of the size comparison between the ship and the people so in a way the ship looks intimidating to the audience.  Straight Cut: (0:11) This replaces the overall beginning scene, and it cuts to the crowd point of view. This makes it easier for the audience to see the enjoyment and feeling of excitement of the people on the boat and off the boat as well. You are able to see them waving and there is also a camera man which could also let...

Challenges in Film

 WAZAAAAA blog!!! Today we are discussing the challenges we have in filming, and there's A LOT.  So, the weekend of the 8th of February our group was supposed to film but 3/4 of my group members were ready to film but unfortunately the fourth member, which is the videographer. So, to deal with this inconvenience we have rescheduled our filming date to a day when we are all available, which is Valentine's Day. We are going to wolf lake park , which we have also had trouble planning exactly where we are filming which was either wolf lake park or tree tops park which is more foresty and filming the first part of our movie intro. The main obstacle we have is trying to work around the group members work schedule which from what you've heard is really challenging . Other than that, every group member has been pulling their own weight . We have all of our props and costumes which is rope, tape, and our regular high school clothes.

Hey Blog! Today we did a sample question of the AICE exam. Here is my response.  Prompt: Explain the importance of cross media synergies in the media area you have studied .        Cross-media synergies in film refer to the collaboration across different media platforms to promote and extend the reach and impact of a film. Cross media convergence is important towards film because it creates a new widespread of businesses for the film industries by utilizing new technologies created to start advancing the ways in which movies or products are advertised or represented.   This involves l everaging various media channels such as television, social media, video games, merchandise, music, and publishing to create a more involved experience for the audience.
