So far so good?

 Originally, our plan for filming included capturing scenes at the beach, aiming to utilize its natural beauty and serene atmosphere to enhance the visual storytelling of our project. However, as often happens with outdoor shoots, we encountered challenges related to weather conditions and time constraints. Unpredictable weather patterns and limited daylight hours made it impractical to proceed with filming at the beach as initially planned.

In response to these challenges, we made the decision to adapt our filming locations to ensure that we could continue making progress on our project. We opted to shift the setting to Amanda's house and a nearby local park, which offered more convenience in terms of accessibility and distance for both of us. By choosing these alternative locations, we were able to maintain our filming schedule and work within our time and resources.

While the change in setting required some adjustments to our original vision, it ultimately provided us with the opportunity to explore new creative possibilities and make the most of the resources available to us. Despite the initial setback, our ability to adapt and find suitable alternatives underscores our commitment to delivering a high-quality film opener while navigating the practical realities of production.

Storyboard!

Hello Everyone! Today I will talk about storyboarding!  Storyboarding is a tool in the world of visual storytelling, acting as a crucial blueprint that guides filmmakers, animators, and other creative minds in bringing their narratives to life. Through my exploration of this art form, I've come to appreciate the balance between creativity and structure that storyboarding demands. Storyboarding is the process of visually planning a narrative, breaking it down into a sequence of individual shots or frames. This pre-visualization allows creators to map out the flow of a story, ensuring coherence and visual continuity. What I find most compelling about storyboarding is its ability to serve as a visual script, showing a preview of the final product before production begins. This early visualization not only aids in communication among the creative team but also acts as a reference point to maintain consistency in tone, pacing, and overall narrative coherence. However, despite its numero...

Camera Shots and Angles

Hello again! In this blog post I will be showing five clips of different camera shots and angles. I used five different ones to show a variety of emotion, setting, and stories. Since I am still practicing they may not be perfect BUT that is more than okay! With practice comes perfection :) Enjoy the clips!  In this clip, I was trying to achieve a close-up shot to show the emotion in the eyes.  With this clip, I used an establishing shot. The purpose of this was to show where my setting is and how it looks like. Also, how it affects the other clips and provides a portion of the time it was shot.  In this clip, I used a high angle shot to establish what the actor was doing and for the watcher to get an idea of what might come next.  I used a point of view shot (POV) to show the actors viewpoint of an action they were doing.  I used a dutch angle shot to portray disorientation that the actor is going through.

Movie Analysis

Hello everyone! I was watching my favorite show "Friends" and decided to analyze an episode called "The one with all the thanksgivings" if you have not seen the show yet, I highly recommend you do! I put five screenshots of scenes from the episode and analyzed the different angles and camera shots.  This is a medium shot and a two shot. In this scene, Chandler and Ross are washing the dishes and discussing what they will be doing after thanksgiving dinner. This scene affects the story because Chandler makes a rude comment about Monica that leads to the climax of the episode. It also shows their body language and can tell they have been friends for a long time. They also look relaxed and comfortable with one another. By the look of their outfits, you can infer the time period is in the 80's and they are at an older person's house (Ross's mom).  This is a mid over-the-shoulder shot. This scene is showing Monica trying to seduce Chandler a year after he cal...
