My First Blog

 I created a blogspot account on January 5th. I started this blogspot so that I could give weekly updates on the film opening I’m working on. Lately, I have been doing some research on what a film opening should look like and consist of. I have seen many examples of film openings the good and the bad and the ones that you could just tell they didn’t put any effort into them. My AICE Media Studies Professor assigned my class a film opening critique assignment that allowed us to choose a film opening and break down the elements of which created that opening. We were able to complete this assignment by using a Film note taking template. This template consists of different sections that you would fill out about the film openings mise- en- scene, cinematography, theme, and etc... I did mines on the opening of the movie “ Good Burger” which I thought would be very interesting to know the break down of shots that the cinematographer(s) used in one of my childhood favorites. While doing my film opening critique on “Good Burger” I noticed that the cinematographer(s) used a lot of unexpected and loud effects to keep the audience engaged. I would say that the cinematographer(s) that worked on “Good Burger’s” opening did a spectacular job with the editing of this opening. Thank you for joining my on journey to a successful film opening and I hope you continue to enjoy the ride with me.

We have made it to the End of Stage 1!!!

Hey, there your back so you can see by the title of this blog that we have made it to the end of stage 1. Over the course of stage 1, we have talked about many elements needed in the production of my horror/ thriller film we learned a lot of reasons why cinematographers do certain things in the film. We also learned how to get audiences to watch our film and who exactly to target. We also learned how to insert the basic conventions of cinematography into my genre of film specifically. So as we go forward through the other stages of learning we will learn even more ways to create a successful film opening. So that's all folks see you in stage 2.

Its me again !!!

  Hey, so today we are going to be focusing on answering these questions: "What kind of movie am I trying to make?  What are the basic genre conventions of my movie (themes, style, characters, etc.)? What do the opening sequences look like in other films of my genre? How does an opening sequence reveal meaning and tone without giving away too much? How much action really happens in the first 2 minutes of a film? Complete a detailed shot-by-shot analysis using screenshots." So let's get into it, to answer the first question the kind of movie I'm trying to make is a horror/thriller/mysterious movie because movies in this genre type generally have lots of suspense and that's what I'm aiming for in my film opening. The themes of movies in this genre are usually " don't take life for granted" or " be grateful to your family each time you get" or " live life the best you can" or the childlike one " Never talk to strangers"...
