Final Idea!

-
Hey there! 

I have been talking to my group on what our final idea will be, and we have figured it out. Not much has changed on the idea I had presented earlier, but here is a quick synopsis.

We beginning with three friends who are complete opposites of each other. However, they are close and care for their friendship more than anything. It is set in the early 2000's. The friends do everything together, until one day one of the friend disappears. We obviously will not put the reason why this friend leaves, as it creates wonder in the audience. The other two friends are set to live their lives as much as possible, while dealing with their grief. A coming-of-age story! 

One of my favorite genres is coming-of-age so I really like this idea we had created. I know this will be a fun project to do with my friends. I am worried on my expectations, as I tend to expect the best of the best and forgetting we are high school students. I am also worried on balancing this project with our other classes as this year has been hectic. But I believe in my group cause I have people who are as passionate on the project as me. I am also glad to have our teacher so we can receive feedback on our ideas. I really want to say that we have everything set in stone and there will be no changes in the future, but I know we may have to change some aspects due to what we are given. 

I can't way to share more of this journey with you!
Signing off!

Lighting!

 Let's talk lighting! So, to put this out there, we do not have these fancy equipment big budget movies have to create these amazing, eye watering scenes. But we have practical and natural lighting! Natural lighting: Me personally, natural lighting is the most beautiful kind of lighting. We had shot some scenes on bright, sunny days so it captured a beautiful aesthetic to our film. Even inside, we had used natural lighting in one of our scenes where my character was in the kitchen/dinning room. This is one of our biggest and most important light sources!      Here are some photos of us using natural lighting: Practical lighting: You don't have a huge lamp that can shine the brightest light for your scene?! ...then use practical lighting. From computers, to desk lamps, even ceiling lights; all are used to help set up mood and aesthetics for each scene.      Here are some photos of us using practical lighting:

Title Sequences!

 Hey! Welcome back.  The use of title sequences are nothing new. Having different clips edited together at the beginning of the movie is the best way to subtly introduce the audience to what they are about to experience. To be honest, I personally skip any intro sequences that don't raise my arm hairs, or sends a shiver down my spine. I enjoy title sequences that makes me excited to watch the film/show. Here are my 5 favorite title sequences and how they contribute to the over all show/film. Scott Pilgrim vs The World I could go on and on about how wonderful this movie is and how much detail was put in. At the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Knives Chau, who has just got into a relationship with our protagonist Scott Pilgrim. She comes over to the house to introduce herself to Scott's bandmates. The title sequence begins with her watching the band perform one of their songs. The weird, stretched out living room accompanied with animation that is timed with the beat...

Five Video Shot!

    Hello there! In the past few classes, we talked about different types of camera angles and shots. We discussed how they are used in film and how they help advance any feelings the director might want to include. For example, an extreme close-up shot is commonly used to help explain what a character's feeling. After being taught these techniques, we were asked to create some example shots of our own. With the help of some friends, I was able to experiment with different camera shots. Establishing Shot: This was the first shot I recorded. Similarly to many movies, I wanted to take an establishing shot to show the area I will be recording all my videos, my school's garden. Just from this shot alone, the viewers are able to tell that it is taken place during the daytime, with sunny weather.  Close Up: While looking around to shoot for a close-up shot, I found this pretty butterfly. With a close-up shot, I was able to figure out that it was a wooden butterfly due to its te...
