Production Blog: Changes from Film Review

 Hello Bloggers! As you may know we partnered up with my friend to make sure we could get the best sequence possible. My friend helped us go over many things that he saw. He pointed out the flaws and also the positives about our sequence. He saw that our sound design was a little off and that we need to work on it. So with that in mind me and my group got right into it with the improvement needed. We began by adjusting the volumes on the different shots to make them go together a lot smoother and to just improve the quality. One scene was crazy loud and then the next scene was very low which just made the transition sound terrible. The scene in the woods had very low dialogue so it made it hard to understand anything. Enzo put them into Cap Cut and had to mess with it until it was right. Cap Cut is an app we have used previously many times so we are now good at using it. I'm glad we got the experience because now we can do it without taking a long time. We then replaced the old shot with the new edited shot. After that the sequence had a way better rhythm. Next step we made was darkening the font on the sequence. This would help the aesthetic of the sequence. This was done to make the titles more appealing and blend in better with the sequence. This part of the process went very smoothly as the group worked together very nicely. We made another huge step into finishing our final task. But that is it for today, 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 ...
