Mood board for Trailer!

-

 Hello!

After we came up with the idea for our final project, we decided to do a mood board in order to better capture a feel of our trailer. Each member made their own mood board.


Mine:


    Alright so I decided to go column by column to help separate each character and vibe I want to portray. In the first column, the top photo is how I imagine the characters to interact. The second photo is an area we want to shoot, being by a park. The last photo is an activity I think it would be fun to shoot. 
    The second column is the first character and her aesthetic. I based my photos from the early 2000's chick flicks like Mean Girls. This character is very girly and will wear a bunch of pinks and pastels, like the stereotypical popular girl. 
    The third column is our second character which has more of an alternative style. I based it off Freaky Friday and a bit of a 70's feel. This character will be the famous rebel/alternative girl.
       The fourth column is the last character which I described as the nerd. I based this character off The Gilmore Girls, as the main character is very academic and can be described as smart. 
    The last column really shows the vibe I want to create. Although each character clashes with one another, they somehow fit in and I want to capture the blend with the lighting and props. I also included a picture of a notepad to be the "bucket list" the friends do after one character disappears.

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...
