In some movies there can be a lot going on in just a two minute film opening. Sometimes its just filled with action but then gives a explanation later or vice versa. In the genre I want to do, there isn't really a lot of action in most cases. Most of the time it has a little action then narration or narration explain what is about to happen. For example the opening for season one on the show "On My Block" there is not a lot of action neither narration but this scene introduces the main characters and the side characters in the show. Or in the Disney Drama/ comedy " Let it shine" where the filmer uses close ups, establishing shots, master shots, to show what is happening. Although there is not a lot of action in the scene, it shows some of the main characters. Or in the 1997 movie "clueless" which does not include a lot of action but similar to other movies in my genre it does include narration. This scene includes a variety of establishing shots, and close ups to provide information on the setting. Action in opening scenes in teenagers movies may not happen a lot of the time, but giving information on the background, plot, and characters is prominent. However in the movie "Mean girls 2" the protagonist is also narrating and the filmer gives a viewpoint on her protagonist and her dad, it does include a lot of action. As you may notice these films use the exact same shots and angles 

see how both of them include establishing shots to show the location.
A lot can be going on in opening scenes. It may not be a lot of actual action but you do get a lot of insight of things that can be helpful for later.

Storyboard

 This was easily the most easy but difficult assignment that we have had. Since one of our group members left our group, there was a little bit of conflict during the time we had the assignment. With Kayla and my great thinking plus Adonai's creativity, we created a master piece. I gave the format and specifically what we were going to do, and Adonai successfully carried out that plan. This was difficult since we started so late, but we still got it done. This is what we have came up with

Case study

 This case study was a rough and vigorous task since it was very hard to retain information. The 5 parts of the case study (History/target audience, production, distribution,  marketing, cross media convergence and synergy) all of these parts make up a case study. How did I do this? Well first you get the film of your choice that relates to the genre you are doing, I chose the classic film "Mean girls" After that you start dong research on all 5 of those topics. You may be able to find a couple blogs relating on how to do and find these very few parts. But make sure your websites are credential and legit. You do not want to be using websites such as Wikipedia to gain information. This websites information can be altered by anyone who chooses to do so. Once I retained all the information from my research, I started to form my case study. You can either do a power point, word document, or a video. I chose to do a PowerPoint since it is easier to divide those 5 topics. Then you ...

Film pitch

 This film pitch I made was fun and very helpful. When you want to pitch your movie idea to a production company, these questions can help  you succeed in you doing that.  Answer the following questions and others, as applicable: ·          What production company are you pitching to? Establish this first so that we know what perspective to consider your film from. ·          What is the title of your film? ·          What is the basic synopsis of your film? (Keep this short – 60 seconds or less.) ·          Why do you think this production company would be a good fit to make your film? o    What films has the company made that are similar to yours? o    Does the “brand” of your film align with some of the other films this company has made? o    Can this company secure th...
