Intro Blog: Introduction to opening film

 Individual

Hello, my name is Basil Saunders and for this project I decided to work by myself. In our current condition as the coronavirus pandemic continues, I believe it will be a lot easier to work alone at my own pace. This way I won't have to rely on others to get their part of the work done. I'm very confident in my creativity to produce a well thought out opening scene. I plan to use actors who don't take Aice Media Studies. This means my closest friends are likely to be apart of my film once recording starts. If things were different and school went back to the way things were last year I would've considered working in a group. However, Communication and organization will likely be difficult to control since we'll have to take in to account safety guidelines for covid protection. Not to mention, some kids are in school while others are learning from home.

Opening film genre

For the genre of my film, I'm choosing to go with action. this decision was made because I have a lot more creative ideas for an action packed opening than a comedy. Personally, I would love to do a  comedy over action because that is my favorite genre of movies. however, I know producing an opening for a comedy will prove to be a lot more difficult. In this case, I value the choices that will keep my project as simple as possible. Plus, making an action film should be just as fun as making a comedy opening, so the experience won't be to different. hopefully, I'll be able to plan out my pitch by February 15th. Moreover, I would like to add that my film will most likely be fictional in order to really think of something original.

Editing Blog: 1 minute Dilemma

Image
 Ever since I finished filming, I couldn't wait to start editing my music video. Many ideas ran across my mind about how I should go about this process. Most of my focus was towards what edits can I possibly incorporate into my project that would make it entertaining. This consisted of transitions, filters, effects, and more. To start off, my first move was to position each scene in order to see what it would look like at it's base form. Upon further review I noticed that the video was about a minute and 25 seconds long. In all honesty, I didn't expect it to go that far beyond the time limit, but never the less, I had to fix this problem immediately before I could include anything else. So, after rewatching my video over and over again, I made small cuts throughout each scene. Majority of these cuts were shots that weren't meant to be included. However, other smaller shots were discarded from the project because they made the scene unnecessarily long. Soon enough, I bro...

 First scene- For the opening of my commercial, an athlete/actor will be dressed up in their track uniform. This will show the audience what team this commercial will be about. The actor will proceed to show off the jersey by tugging it from both sides. This should pop the logo in and out to attract the viewers attention. Also, the athlete will give a smug smile to the camera just to show how confident they're towards wearing the jersey. Second scene- The next scene will be another shot of a solo athlete in uniform while wearing medals. They will flex their biceps as a sign of showing their always winning. This will give the audience an idea of how talented Fort Lauderdale's track team really is. And to top it off, the actor will have a boastful expression on their face.  Third scene- The last solo shot will once again be an athlete in uniform. However, they will give a flying L sign towards the camera for representation. I also added a head nod for good measure.  Each of...

Title Research: Guardians of the Galaxy 2

artofthetitles.com 1) In the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 opening scene all of  the main actors of the film are displayed first as chaos plays out. soon after the actors are mentioned, the executive producer, director, writers, and others who worked on the film are displayed throughout the scene. 2&3) We see all the guardians from the previous movie face off against an intergalactic monster to start off the movie. this displays that intense level of action the audience has been waiting for since the first release of guardians of the galaxy. weapons, explosions, and swords are all being used to the creature down but, the guardians are still getting handled in the process. this makes it all the more funny in the process. 4)      Baby Groot, mischievous and distracted in his own world, dances to music from Star-Lord’s second mixtape while the Guardians throw down in the background, out of focus. The focus on Groot instead of the main action is the first comedic thrust ...
