so, so busy

Hi guys, so my group and I made a calendar on the days that we are able to film. As we are both heavily involved in after-school activities, we thought it would be efficient to make a schedule with the days we are available. This project is gonna take some late nights(ugh!), and several days to film, edit, and make final changes. We also plan on finishing before spring break, to not have it hanging over our heads, obviously, but if it comes to it and we need to work on it during spring break, then it won't be the end of the world. We are extremely excited to work on our romantic film opening and step into the shoes of the producers/actors that work on films everyday. 

We also had an amazing idea! We have a program close to where we live called "BECON" that has camera equipment readily available for film makers to borrow. This equipment will help my group and I in making our film opening as high quality as possible, and the high quality will provide our film opening with a clean and professional feel. We plan to use a 1080p camera that can shoot at high frames per second. This just means that our film will look high quality and it won't freeze up. Now, I have no experience with camera equipment, but I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on my journey!

Ideas

Hi guys, so, my group and I have decided on a new film opening, and I believe that it has much more potential than the action one I had come up with. My group and I are still in the brainstorming part of the film, but we believe that we are deciding on and drawing scenes in a train station. We believe that a train station develops a lot of context as well as setting in a film. 

My group and I also decided to research some popular train scenes, and we believe the most iconic are, "Brief Encounter," "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat" by the Lumiere Brothers, and finally "Some Like it Hot." These films all provided us with the insight we needed to collaborate and discuss our ideas on the train station. Our film idea will hopefully introduce a romantic vibe, but with short narrative, we plan on building some mystery. (You can't wait to see it, I know!)

I CHANGED MY GENRE?!

I CHANGED MY GENRE!?

Hi guys, so I originally said that I was interested in making an action movie, but my feelings have changed. I want to make a romance! My group and I have decided that with a romance, we can effectively and indirectly promote our message. As romance movies are becoming a hit around the world, I believe that if my group and I make a romantic film opening, we can reach a large target audience. The research that I did before on the marketing, production and conventions for the action genre are of no purpose for me anymore. However, this is not a big deal, due to the fact that I believe that me and my group can achieve more via the romance genre rather than action. I couldn't be more happy with my switch. Some romantic movies that ultimately made me change to the Romance genre, (due to how iconic they are) include films such as "Titanic," "The Notebook," and "La La Land." The romance genre includes many examples of great film openings, and me and my group can use our research and prior knowledge on romance film openings to make our opening as magnificent as possible.
