Movie Opener Brainstorming & Research

Helloooo! Welcome back. I have been provided with some videos that were done by past AICE Media students so I can be inspired and help me brainstorm new ideas for my own video. Here are my observations of each video. Rise: The video begins with someone leaving their car and collecting their equipment. While this happens, credits appear which leads to the title "RISE". After that it shows the same guy playing soccer but being observed by another individual. It shows a montage of, what seems to be the protagonist, to play soccer by himself/practicing.

Introducing My Group Members!

 Welcome back! Recently we had been asked to form groups for our upcoming trailer project! I am very excited especially since I am able to work with my classmates, also known as my friends, Anais Marcos and Malavika Nair. You may have seen them previously on my earlier posts. They share my same passion for film and we have already had a fun time brainstorming ideas. It also makes it easier to work with them as I already know them personally, so there will be no awkward moments. Just wanted to give a quick update on our project. See you next time!
