Intro Blog

Hey, my name is Joao Nunes, I am 16 years old and I'm a junior looking to graduate in the year of 2025. Today I'll be giving you some  things about me and my life. So one thing I can definitely tell you is that I love sports and love to play them, especially soccer. I can also tell you about my dream job which is to become a professional soccer player not only for the money, also because playing the sport brings me happiness and distracts me from things. Other things I'm interested in is science, engineering, and physical education. My goals in school are to get my credits for AICE and graduate with a good GPA so I can set myself up for a good future. I enjoy spending time with my parents and friends, I often play soccer with my friends since most of them have the same desires as me and also with family because our background is popular with soccer. I am from Bahia a place in Brazil and I was born and raised there for around 10 years and after that I moved to the United States in hopes for better education. I also have many hobbies but I usually tend to play video games a lot on my free time, and I mostly play games with my  friends online. I also like exploring the world a lot and I would like to travel to many places in the future so I can learn more about culture and other things the world has to offer. My favorite season is winter not necessarily because I like the cold but because I love Christmas and I like playing soccer in the cold. I also spend a lot of time watching YouTube or Netflix as most of the shows on it are interesting. I also like to watch anime even though people think its kind of weird but I don't mind it. Overall I can't think of much to say about myself other than that but I just think I'm a laid back kind of guy and a chill person to talk to. But yeah  those are some things about me, see ya later bloggers.

Production Blog: Editing

Image
   Hey bloggers and welcome back to the continuation of my opening sequence. Today I will be tinkering throughout my sequence attempting to make it as improved as possible. Very similarly to what I did with my last blog. Considering how much I tweaked during the film review and the critique I used. It was relatively hard for me to see what was still wrong with the opening sequence. This meant I had to thoroughly watch and rewatch our current sequence in order to find thing I could improve upon. This took me quite a bit of minutes before finding pieces of the opening sequence that were not up to standard. The first thing I changed was the positioning of the titles as I wasn't very fond of where they previously were. At times the titles blocked out some important backgrounds or scenes due to their position and size. After noticing this I shifted almost all of the titles so that they would occupy different corners in places without importance to the sequence. I made sure however,...

Reserach: Action Genre

Image
   I'm researching genres to see if it's possible to spin our pitch in a creative way. The genre I am researching at the moment is the action genre. The action movies I researched tend to have these angles and movements of the camera: High and Low angle Birds Eye Views Tracking Shots Side Views Establishing Shots Common Mis-En-Scene used in action films: Occasional comedy Large and intricate movie sets (they get destroyed) Abundance of creative prop usage to create fake glass and prop weapons Intense usage of costumes to differentiate background characters from main characters Use of lighting to create tense feelings in audience (flashing lights, dim lights) Common Editing used in action films: Jump Cuts Cuts Fade Aways Cross Cuts Dissolve Inserts Common Sounds used in action films: Dialogue Intense music leaving audience on edge of their seats Sound Bridges Ambient Sounds to immerse audience Films I watched in this genre: Bullet Train The Gray Man Ghosted The John Wick Series...

Our Pitch

Image
  These are our pitches we came up with for our opening sequence  Pitch A: A group of students plan out an innocent camping trip and begin to find out that there is something out there, something watching them the entire time. Pitch B: A family hires a personal chef, the chef sneakily steals items from their house covering his tracks no matter the cost. Pitch A seemed a little cliche to us at first but it was a very feasible idea that could still be loads of fun and really well produced. We found that it would be simpler to use effective music in a thriller as there are loads more films and media work using suspenseful music. We also had a slight plan as to where we would film the sequence, Oleta State Park. We also had the camping equipment necessary for the props and costumes allowing our budgets to be put towards other things. I also enjoy being out in the woods and it would bring the mood up around the production team. Pitch B on the other hand I found to be pretty unique ...
