Decision

What kind of movie am I trying to make? I want to make a drama/ comedic movie that teenagers can relate to. Movies such as mean girls where the new girl wants to fit in with the more popular girls. This happens all the time in real life, especially in high school. Or just like the 2010 movie street dreams about a teen who goes through many hardships in his life and tries to go pro in skating. Although that's not what his parents want him to do, he does it anyways since that's what he enjoys that. As a teenager your parents may want you to be a doctor, engineer, architect, or something that just makes a lot of money. Even though you may want to do something else, you feel as if you must obey your parents, which is what is happening in this movie. As I said earlier my intended audience will be teenagers because I am making something that they can relate to. I will get them to see this movie by producing something that grabs their attention. Such as leaving a cliff hanger in the beginning so they can watch it more. Such as the movie " scary movie" where in the film opening a character dies by the antagonist leaving everyone clueless since its the beginning of the movie. In this movie the character "Drew" gets chased around by the antagonist for approximately the whole entire opening. Leaving the audience to ask questions such as " why is this happening to her", " what is the purpose of the antagonist killing her", "did she ever have some type of connection with the antagonist causing them to kill her". All these questions may be asked and makes the audience to watch the film more so their questions would be answered. A movie famous for its opening " Saving Private Ryan which is about world war 2 famous D-day. This opening is filled with a ton of action leaving the audience with many questions. That is how I want my opening to be, leaving the audience with many questions so they can keep watching my film. At the end, the group I am in decided we should go for a drama/comedy, which was the approach I was going for. 






My final project will be a film opening and will be named “Together till the end: The breakup” The project will fall under the section “Component 1: Foundation portfolio” and will go over objectives 2 and 3. I plan to research movies in my genre and production methods. This project will meet objective two requirements by analyzing film openings in the genre I am doing and conduct shot by shot to better understand how to create this film opening the way it should be created. This film opening will also meet the requirements of objective three by carefully researching this genre (as I said before by looking at film openings, conducting shot by shot analysis, and breaking down this opening to the core). With my team Kayla, Kinaya, and Adonai, we will properly plan and construct this film opening.

In the opening sequence of other films in my genre, the opening usually has a wide arrangement of items in it. If you do not know by now the genre, I am going for is drama/comedy that teens can relate to. Usually in teen movies in her early 2000 such as Mean girls or bring it on, it usually has the exact same type of opening just with different characters. Almost all the time you may see the protagonist which is usually a new student at a school get ready, go on a drive with music playing while the opening credits may appear. The 2000 film "Bring It On" has quite a unusual opening scene. The main character (or protagonist) appears to be cheering on a cheer team with her squad. All of the cheer members seem ecstatic while reciting their choreography. One by one the camera goes to different people, foreshadowing that they may be some of the side characters but have a major impact. Towards the end of the cheer the main character has a embarrassing moment when one of her article...

Production process

 Throughout this production process, not many types of technology were used. Since our cameras never came in, we had to be creative and use whatever we had. In the group i was in we simply used our phones to film and our computer to edit the shots to our liking. This was not really hard since the quality came out perfect and so did our shots. I personally learned that lighting plays an extremely important role in making a quality production. The lighting where he had to film was relatively dark, so we had to use certain camera angles to make the lighting a little bit brighter. The shot types that were used also had an effect on what the lighting would look like. In order to use our equipment properly, I had to watch dozens on top of dozens of videos to make sure that we produce a quality piece. These videos explained how to use the camera, how to edit, even how to hold the phone. These videos were actually a lot of help and I am very glad that I did watch them. I asked my teacher h...
