This time around, I added the name of the production company and who was starred in the film. I used the font Baskerville Cyrillic Std Upright for the names of the actors. Palace ScriptTM Regular was used for the main title. I used a filter on the videos to make it toned and to fit more with the idea of summer. I added fade to black a few times towards the end to signal something more serious and a change in the plot. At the end of the movie, I added a screaming sound effect for when the main character got kidnapped and the sound of the trunk closing and car hastily driving away. The problems I faced while editing was trying to import media from the computer into Adobe Premiere Pro. Some files would show, most wouldn’t. Trying to work out this one issue was very time consuming, but it was resolved by making the most of the shots that were available. I spent about 3 hours total editing the video, mostly trying to get files to open. I was involved in editing my own video ...

The titles I want to put in my movie are the Main Title first, the “production company” second, and the names of the people starred in the movie. The movie title I came up with was “Lost in Paradise”. Because I was going for a certain aesthetic feel for the moving opening, I chose to give the title a white cursive font. I tried to test out different video effects with the main title, but realized I like the title how it was alone. I plan to incorporate more video effects into my movie without overdoing it. I used a dissolve transition to put together two cut videos of a volleyball falling from the sky and someone catching it from its fall. The audio I used for the video is a song by Petit Biscuit named Sunset Lover. In order to find a song i really liked to go with the idea of the film( nostalgic, summer, relaxing, teen), I looked up Summer mixes on youtube. There were a few that kind of stood out but Sunset Lover was the one that stood out the most. The problems that...

After planning to do a group project based on a horror movie opening, my group broke up into individual projects. My individual project is called “Lost in Paradise”. It is an aesthetic intro of a movie based on a girl having a rejuvenating time at the beach with her friends. At the end, the intro takes a turn for the worst and the main character is kidnapped. Filming Post 3 Most of my film was shot from 4:30p.m to 6:30p.m. Here I was taking a video of a beach bag, flip flops, and a phone laying on top of the back. In order to give the shot movement, I backed away and gave the shot a moving high angle view. Filming during golden hour was my goal due to how relaxing and visually pleasing the outcome would be. Golden hour shines a beautiful bronze light on the beach below. Later on, a person in the frame with their back facing the sun shows a nice silhouette figure against the sun. On the way down to the beach, I took videos of the shops off 5th Avenue. I used the moving c...

Our group went out to the courtyard to shoot shots that could possibly establish the emptiness of the school. Shots that seem empty covey the idea of loneliness, which is exactly what the main character feels in the film opening. On this morning, it was very foggy, so a creepy feel was incorporated into the video. Fog is usually used as an indicator of something bad or malevolent.

My group began filming this week. We took an establishing shot at sunrise. This shot will be used to establish the setting of a morning at school. This will be the first day the main character goes to school normal and eventually finds out her life becomes everything but normal. The shot pans outward towards the sky and makes the mood seem peaceful.  In this shot, the main character is shown upset and lonely in what seems to be a vacant school. The shot carries along the idea of the character’s isolation and helplessness in the school.

Actors: Berluche Prunier , Chynney Dorvil, Janney Vera, and Arianna Verdecia The roles in the film will include the main character , other students to satisfy the school setting, and the main character’s best friend. Costumes: It would be best for the main character to dress nicely and slowly have her outfit looking older and worn out as time passes. Other students will wear casual attire. Makeup could be used to emphasize the passing of time and what effect being trapped in school so long has on the main character. Props: School, phone , tables, hairbrush, lipgloss, chairs, and bed Locations: courtyard, school hallways, and a bedroom Dates and Time: Capture sunrise (6-7a.m.) . Capture sunset (5:30p.m.). The scene of the main  character getting ready in the “morning” could be shot in the morning or at night. It’d be preferable for the scene to be shot in a room with lots of natural sunlight so that a fairytale effect could be given off. The scenes inside of the school sho...
