Our Decision: True Crime

-

 

The winner is True Crime!

If our opening is based on a true crime, we would start our film with someone walking in a hallway of some sort. They would walk around with a knife in there hand. We would film the lower half of the person, then we would see the person with a knife stab an innocent, unsuspecting victim, which is one of his/her friend. Blood would splatter around. Then, cops would come and investigate the crime scene. We came to this conclusion because it most likely fits our pitch that Sarah and I decided on. 

If our opening is based on the romance genre, then we would have a girl's lover lying in a pool of their own blood. As the opening goes on, all of the girl's loved ones would drop dead. Her friends would be murdered. Every time she fell in love, she would be forced to watched her loved one and friend's life be taken by a masked killer. We came to this conclusion because we wanted to incorporate some romance in it but have our pitch show. 



If our opening is based on the thriller genre, we would have a group of 2 or more friends running and hiding. They are hiding from a serial killer that is hunting the friends down. They hide in different spots and they try and wait out. The killer finds them and is slowly walking to the friends in their hiding place. Sarah and I came to this conclusion because thriller and true crime are similar to each other, the only difference is that the police is involved in the true crime genre. 

We chose true crime because it is the way we want to add a crime scene into our opening. We are interested in true crime because we like the chase of finding of the murder. We also like to see how close the police are close to finding the murder but not close enough. We also like the fear it inspires. It also brings out sympathy in us for the victims. We also want to do true crime as the genre because it the closest genre to our pitch. 


Signing Off,

Kay.

Title Research: The Eternal Daughter

The Eternal Daughter  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?      The Eternal Daughter title card, A film by Joanna Hogg, actor and actress credit, produced by,  co producers, and editor. 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?     A car on a road, and trees in a bunch, greyish brown background and grey background with a title card. 3.  What connotations do these images carry?       It is slowed to makes you feel anxiety. The sequence is gives you anxiety and suspense that you want to wait until it stops.   4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?     By putting up a very hazy scene throughout the introduction, the movie creates a sense of the genre. It has a hazy beginning that makes viewers uncertain of what is happening and what is happening. Suspense can result from this, which contributes to the genre's sense of adventure, fantasy, and action ...

Storyboard

My storyboard of the girl next door! Scene 1: This will be the first scene and this is where the main actor will appear. It will fade in from black to sync with the audio since it also fades in. It will be at eye level and it will be a close up to show to emphases the subject's eyes because of a lyric "red eyes". The set will be a road in order to cut into the next scene. Scene 2: After it cuts away from the close up we move into a medium long shot at eye level. The actor will be drinking a cherry coke and be stumbling along the road. The medium long shot is to show that she is still wearing the same clothes according to the lyrics. Scene 3: This scene she is up against the bedroom door looking distress. This will be at eye level and it will start at as a close up then zoom out in order to transition into the next scene. She is in this position because she is wondering about a certain thing, that thing being something unpleasant. Scene 4: The next scene will pan into her...

Almost!

We are almost done! As of writing this we are almost finished. We had completed filming around a week ago. Now we are so close to finish editing. Like we said previously, we were to continue adding the footage together so then we can make it easier when it came to transitions and audio. We have put in the title cards, and are only missing a few. For the title cards that we have done, we have added transitions for a couple to the title cards and only a footage is left to edit and put together. Right now we are moving things around, because we are slightly worried about the time limit but so far we haven't crossed it. But again there is that slight worry! We do have a way around it if it were to happen. We have sort of an idea of which scenes we can cut from the footage. We also can speed up footage and cut down some footage in order to make time. We have thought on it, just in case if it happens. Right now we aren't over the limit but again we still have footage to add. That foo...
