Favourite Scene

Favourite Scene

Out of all the scenes in the opening I must say my favourite was most when the blue book was shut. Reason behind this, is because of how sharp the footage was in these clips and how well I managed to stitch them together without having bumps and jumps. This took a fair amount of effort and tries, to get the timing/framing correct. If it was one frame too much or too little it would seem wrong and not fit well at all so editing like this take time and cannot be rushed through. Overtime it gets quicker as you would become more familiar with the program and editing would then become second nature too.

The book shutting also signifies rage as the book is not shut with care, but in fact quite abrupt. Thus, portraying anger. We then learn that the student did not do so well in his ‘exam’. And so every minute detail can add so much clarity to a single scene. This scene was not scripted for AJ to slam the book yet AJ played it so much better, and so being part of the casters this made us happy that we casted him and that he was able to get into character so well.


How I made it?

It took 4 different angles and shots for this one small scene to be made and it takes time to make it as sharp as possible. I used Premier Pro to do this and made the scene slightly sharper. It was very handy that the entire movie was shot in 4K, as the quality was already crisp.

FOCUS GROUP SESSIONS

FOCUS GROUP WORK             Working with Nabil We decided to go along the path of action/thriller/horror movies, as we were both very into this type of genre. Our main target audience would be males, due to the fact that majority of males prefer these genres compared to romance movies. We then proceeded to look at examples online, to gather ideas and inspiration to create our own thriller/ action. YouTube- AS A grade movies. Looking around on the Internet we came across various movie openings made by various other students around the world, and grasped a better understanding of what it was that we are meant to do. Analysing the openings we also were able to achieve/brainstorm most of what we plan to do for our own movie.

Pre Production

Art Film An art film is typically a serious, independent film, these are aimed at a niche market, instead of a mass market audience like Marvel Cinematic Universe would. Art films are generally serious artistic work which is never really aimed at the mass market. This is because they are quite experimental and primarily made to be aesthetically pleasing rather than for commercial profit purposes. They portray high symbolic content and nothing mainstream, thus casting a sense of social realism. Opening Sequence We decided to research and analyse various opening sequences online. First we looked at an action opening as our first choice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMQR_pPHOWg). We then decided to watch a movie called, 'cyber bully'. We found this movie quite appealing and decided to go along the path of bullying. BUT we wanted to portray our opening from the bullies point of view as we noticed majority of movies are always focusing on the victim. Product...
