Movie Opener Brainstorming & Research

1. Rise

For this movie opener, it was very structured and well put together. One feature I thought was very interesting was syncing the music to the actions. I dont know if we will put something like this in our film but it was interesting nonetheless. 

2. Link did not work.

3. Dear Lover

 The structure of this video was very well done, as it provides context then goes backwards. The camerawork and ambient shots at the beginning were very well done.

4. Dare to Thrill

The genre for this one is more what we were aiming for, with the horror aspect at the end. The music playing all throughout the run time was not something I was a fan of, so we wont implement that.

5. Always Watching

I was not a fan of this one. The editing was fine but the fact it only went between 2-3 settings was a bit plain. In terms of the genre, it is similar to ours with the thriller aspect.

6. Blue Boar

This opening was very simple, yet effective. The camera angles and effects put a bit of spice in the opener and made it entertaining.

7. White Coat

This film is the most similar to our idea. To the ambiance, angles, music, and camerawork, it is all what we aim to do in our film. We will be taking inspiration from this one.

8. Stalker

This opener is simple yet effective. The minimal use of sounds mean that it is exaggerated when it is used. The heartbeat adds a lot to the scene.

9. Link did not work.

Summary:

These openers, especially 4,7, and 8 will be very useful in developing out own film opener. The integration of the actual credits and text were very good through all of them, so we will be taking inspiration and making out own type that we feel comfortable with.

 Blog Post #7- 10/24/22 Mood Board Project The genre I chose for my mood board is horror. Given the time of year, it felt only fitting. The recipe for most modern and old horror movies consists of a dark, gritty setting with less than dependable characters and of course a formidable threat, in the form of an angry spirit or an axe wielding maniac. Locations can vary significantly, with some settings including a city or entire state, and some confined to a few rooms in a house. A very good example of this is a movie I saw recently, "The Black Phone". The location for the movie is Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite this, the setting of the movie is mostly a small room holding the main protagonist as he deals with the insanity of the villain. I feel that horror movies can have limitless creative freedom with props, as horror just has to give the audience a feeling of unease and danger. Prop designers can create Eldritch beings beyond human understanding as seen in "The Mis...

 Blog Post #19- Challenges of Filming During our filming, we did face a couple problems. Since our scene needed to be filmed in the dark but we met during the day. We needed to block out all sources of lights in the room, which required us to close blinds, shutters, and small windows. Another challenge was actually planning to meet up and film which we were able to do. We handled the challenges well, being able to cover everything and film what we needed. Everyone was pulling their weight as we had multiple roles in the film and a cameraman. Our filming process went very well with minimal roadblocks.
