Preparing to film our opening sequence

    Then group have decided that we will start recording our video next week, Jan 27 The easy parts of our filming would be the locations of where the story would take place (for example the library and the halls) and the roles of what the characters would be. The roles of the characters have already been discussed with the group with Nathaniel (me) and Dyanna as the general characters that drive the plot into motion and Mahatha will be the main character of the story that is being told. With the background production being Mahatha creating smooth and stylized edits and transitions of our opening film, Dyanna would be the best option of creating the scrip due to her method of story telling but she will hear us out with any recommendations, and finally Nathaniel (me) would be a great person to choose the song choices that would be included with the opening sequence of the film because as Dyanna stated I am able to bring out the emotion and feeling of the scene with the best music choice. Other than that no challenges are foreseen in the future of our production and it will be smooth sailing with our product.

This scene would then transition into a drone-shot of the car as it slowly pulls back the shot, this is done so that the audience could have another feeling of mystery because we are left on a cliff ha...

  Dare to Thrill      The video had lost of handheld camera movements, and lots of close up images to allow the audience to notice the characters actions such as turning on the car and raising/lowering the volume of the music. There is an establishing shot of the parking garage to allow the audience to have an idea where these teens are located and why they are there.  Lots of mid level shots are used to give the audience the illusion of being the same height as the teens and the illusion of being one of the members of the friend group. The dark atmosphere allows a sudden mood change to appear because in the beginning the emotion that the audience can feel is happiness and cheerfulness, but once the characters hear the noise in the trunk the dark lighting allows the fearful and mysterious atmosphere to smoothly and strongly cover up the previous emotion that was being used. Always Watching      In this video, the main editing used are jump cuts, t...
