Chill Day



 As a director I feel like it's important that your crew also gets rewarded for the great work they've done. I had the idea for all of us to spend a day together doing fun things. Sort of like a large group of friends. So I reserved a dinner table for us at a restaurant on the water. As for before that, I told them to all meet at the beach at 12. Once we were at the beach it was so fun. I played volleyball with them. Next we played beach soccer. Beach soccer is my personal favorite. I hate when we play volleyball because sand gets everywhere when you dive. I love the beach but hate the sand. Anyways, it was about 2 hours before our reservation. I told everyone to go home and get ready and meet us at the restaurant. Fast forward to us all being there, everyone sat with their closer friends. It was still fun though, everyone was chipping into conversation and cracking jokes. I had a delicious meal. It was steak, potatoes, and mac & cheese. I'm not a huge fan of seafood but EVERYONE got the shrimp platter. I could not stand the smell but I tried one and I must admit it wasn't bad. I let Lily try my steak and she almost ate all of it! The night was so fun all around and I'm glad we all got to bond.

  First Scene The main male and female character will enter the clubhouse room as camera tracks them from the front. In this shot the camera will be eye level. The characters will be picture wearing trendy streetwear. This scene will correspond with the instrumental opening of the song. Second Scene This will be introduced by a fade in where the characters will be relaxing and watching TV. This will be from the TVs perspective in which the main characters will be exaggerating their reaction to the content. Third scene The two main character's will be shown playing pool together and having a good time when the girl has to go. Then the two characters will agree on meeting for dinner later. This will all be shot long in order to capture all of the characters without any camera movement. Fourth Scene The male character will walk the girl to the garage say their goodbyes with the scene concluding with the door to the garage closing. This shot will be a medium long shot that follows the ...

Genre Re-Adjustment: Project Blog

Image
   Our group realized minor flaws in our film as we continue through this production process. The biggest issue that has come to surface is that our genre isn't represented as well as we thought it was going to be. I did not think this was going to be an issue at the start. In fact, I thought the mystery genre was the perfect fit. As I am watching how the production is unfolding, it seems as if our problem is that we can't necessarily get the feel of a true mystery film in our 2 minute clip. This means, our film's conventions don't completely align with those of a real mystery. I still believe that it can fit the genre, but giving it the title of a mystery-thriller would be more fitting. The camera angles and movements used in our film are those typically used in mystery films. For example, we use extreme close-ups on objects to provide a mysterious feel about them. Also, we use low and high angles to show superiority and inferiority in different characters. On the othe...

Our Pitch

Image
A person receives a briefcase and is unaware of its contents, unbeknownst to him he is being followed.          This pitch has great potential because of its ability to harness the unknown and be action packed in a short period of time. The pitch also conforms well to the settings we have available due to our access to the urban setting. Furthermore this pitch doesn't require props inaccessible to the group making it a great candidate. However, this pitch struggles with a lack of dialogue and it will be difficult to facilitate conversation throughout. I believe that despite this the pitch's positive aspects outweigh the negative ones because its exciting and is mysterious. A natural disaster knocks out the power in a city, forcing an evacuation but for one man something goes wrong.     This pitch has potential for success because the story presented has a lot of versatility and can go in many ways. The pitch also works well because it adheres to the am...
