Final Idea for Movie Opener

Its our first day back in class from winter break! We needed to wrap up on our ideas for the movie opener.

 From brainstorming, we decided to go with our original idea of a mystery–thriller that follows one character through their morning routine. The opening will use two perspectives, a point-of-view shot and a more distant angle, to create contrast and build tension. At first, everything will feel calm and normal, but the final moments will reveal that the character has been secretly watched through a computer screen, setting up the film’s main mystery.

Im excited about directing because, yes the actor portrays feelings but the setting around us would help solidify it. Through lighting and mis-en-scene, we can work together to help shape the mood and make the scene more interactive for the audience.  I’m worried about finding time for everyone to meet up since we all have busy schedules, which could make filming challenging. However, having a reliable filming location helps relieve some of that worry.

Thank you so much for reading my blog today!

Hopefully youll stick around to see the progress of the film.

This is my commentary on my classmates blog and their picture angles, hope you enjoy! Arielle Chery's Blog! URL:  ariellezaida.blogspot.com PICTURES:  This is the establishing shot . This picture sets the scene of where the person is located and where the other photos would be taken. Its primary purpose is to set the scene by showing where the person is located and providing context for the overall setting. This shot helps the viewers understand the location and mood, which is the library.  This is a two-person shot. It seems like the two students are having a good time and conversation while laughing. You can tell this by the body language. One student looks shocked while the other student is talking. Maybe if the camera were a little bit closer to the faces, the students' facial expressions could be seen clearly.  This is a mid-shot of a student smiling away from the camera. The expression conveys a sense of happiness and friendliness, allowing viewers to connect...
