About our film

 Today I will talk about our film. We are going to talk about Who will be in the film, Where it will be, How it be made, and When we think we will be able to film. So lets get with this information about our film.


Who will be in our film?

The people in my group are:
  • Ethan 
  • Mayera 
  • Xena 
This was my choice because I wanted to be in a group with people who are cognizant of what they are doing. Sometimes I zone out when people are explaining something to me so sometimes I don’t know exactly what to do. They are also love to keep high grades and they keep me on task when I tend to slack off. Sometimes I know what I'm doing and am able to tell them what I remember hearing.

What will we be doing?

We will be doing a horror film. At first , I made the suggestion of doing horror comedy but when we were researching there were barely any horror comedies that were easy to find and horror movies kept popping up. Some shots/scenes will not follow the conventions of horror because we wanted something unique. When we were thinking, we thought following the conventions of other movies would just make it look basic. We want it to be somewhat unique but at the same time not unique. An example is we want a flash-forward which doesnt happen in horror movies unless it’s horror/sci-fi (bird box would be a great example of this). A common thing to do is a flashback since it can show many things about the killer or main character. 

Where will we be doing this? 

We decided that we should make our opening scene at the park. The park we chose has a bug space and it has things we could use. Also it’ll help us in our credits because we can do literally anything in a wide space. The park is close to my house and will barely anyone goes there. I’ve been to this park lots of times and there many other parks nearby just in case we need something but can’t do it at that exact park. 

How will it be made?

We all have phones so it’s going to be recorded on our phones. We also have to bring/buy put on props so we have to think about our budget so we don’t over spend on unnecessary things. As told in many other blogs I typed, the budget of the film is the most important thing and who is providing the money. Once you know that then most of everything (money wise) is really easy. We also are going to find some audio by going on YouTube and we could create some of our own sounds if we really need it. We want dramatic sounds to build tension and make it more suspenseful. We also might just use our phones to record because we aren’t recording in school which will make the schedule harder since we have to meet up and our parents don’t like us out that often.

When it will be made?

We have not yet started scheduling our film dates because we still have things to work on and improvise. We do know that we either film before spring break or after spring break. If it’s after it’ll be really good since we need like a week break so we aren’t too stressed out about making a good portfolio. We also have to make sure when we film that our portfolio is something that’s not boring.

Genre

 Introduction In class we learned about genre. Genre is just a category of a film. Examples can be horror, comedy, action, romance, etc. Genre was probably the most easiest to learn because people talk about different genres everyday not only in film but also in books and other things. My personal favorite is horror comedy because while I am get scared and throwing things I also get some laughter out of it. Some types of genres can be mixed together and balanced out.  Examples Horror comedy - Literary, television, and film genre that combines comedy and horror to form horror comedy Horror comedy mixes horror with comedy to balance out the amount of laughter and the amount of thriller. Horror comedy has been around since 1920s. The first horror comedy was "One exiting night". it was directed by  D. W. Griffith. Stereotypes in this genre is in the horror genre but put into a comedic way.  Sci-fi - a form of fiction that deals principally with the impact of actual or im...

Opening scene

 In class, we learned about different film openings. For example there is Flashbacks, Flash forward, Dreams, etc. The opening scene in a film is the most important part because it has to hook your audience to watch your film. The opening scene also gives some information about what the audience might see during the film. This keeps them curious and wanting to know more about the film.  What is an opening scene? An opening scene is how the movie basically gives information about what’s going to happen during the film. Sometimes the opening scene shows death, lovers coming together or lovers having relationship problems, potential marriage, etc. In opening scenes it also shows the character(s) you should be focusing on the most.  What is an opening scene?

Cinematography

 Cinematography  In class we learned about cinematography. From just looking at the word I thought it was going to be hard. It wasn't that hard to understand but it was kind of easy to understand. Cinematography is the art and technology of motion picture photography. So its mostly about the cameras movement, angles, and shots and what they are used for in general . Shots There are many type of camera shots but I won't talk about all I will just give a couple basic ones. First we got a Close up shot which is where the frame has just the head or face of the character in the screen. Its mostly used to show the emotion of the characters. Next we have a Long Shot which's shows the character form top to bottom without filling the screen. This shot is used to set the scene and the characters place in that scene. The last one I will give is Full Shot which is where the camera shows the character from top to bottom filling the frame. Its used to show more action rather than showing...
