  For the opening credits to our film, the font that we would like to use will be ITC Serif Gothic Heavy that passes by in the background, such as in a moving scene, or in a still scene where it will most likely appear and disappear as the scene changes. The credits will have a black color with perhaps a red undertone to give that ominous and a slight feeling of unease. The trigger for the credits will most likely be a cutaway or during a tracking shot. We will most likely title our film “Syrian” or “Blue.” The title will be shown in big bold letters to make it stand out. Our plan is to have the title in a red color if its “Syrian” and in blue if it’s called “Blue.” Normally, the names of the person under a certain job will be larger, as well as the name of the position will be in bold such as if the person is a producer, it will be (12 font) Production by: (18 font) [Person]. Our main program usage will consist of many Adobe Products, such as Adobe Affects and Adobe Premier. This isn’

The location we chose to film at was Juliana house. We chose her house because it was the more ideal house we were looking for. We plan on filming outside her house, maybe in her car and inside of her house. That is the only location we plan on filming for now. We plan on only having 2 people participate in being filmed and maybe one person on call. Jean will be the murderer in the opening scene and will be wearing a mask. Juliana will be the victim being killed in the opening scene. We plan on George being on the phone with Juliana as she walks into her house but that can change to Jocelyn. The problem is we plan on having either George or Jocelyn driving Juliana home we haven't decided because we aren't sure if Jocelyn will be able to make it to filming due to their strict parents. We plan on being safe while filming by having a parent check up on us every now and then to make sure we are okay and nothing happens. When we film the scene where Jean kills Juliana we will use a

  Script for Final Task: Scene 1:         (A phone rings as Jocelyn walks out)         (The phone gets louder as the actor ignores the phone ringing)         (Jocelyn picks up the phone after visible annoyance) Scene 2:         Jocelyn: (sigh) Hey, are you almost here?         Juliana: (on the phone) Yeah I’m coming into the parking         Jocelyn: (still on the phone) Took you long enough. Scene 3:         (No dialogue)         (The sound of a car pulling up occurs) Scene 4:         (Jocelyn opens the door to the car)         Jocelyn: That took you long enough, what if I died?         Juliana: Calm down, don’t exaggerate.         (Jocelyn gets in and closes the door) Scene 5:         (Music plays on the radio as the car drives home)         Juliana: Soo… are you just going to say nothing?         Jocelyn: You took forever to pick me up and you expect me to talk to you?         Juliana: You know your stubbornness won’t get you anywhere, right?         Jocelyn: I guess not. Scene 6:  

 An opening sequence that our group decided to research was the classic film, remade in 2018, "Halloween." The site that our group used to research and view the opening sequence of the film was "Art of the Title." The film fell under the genre "horror," which is why our group decided to research into it. In the opening sequence, the titles displayed were the title of the movie, the actors of the film, Casting By, Make-up FX Designer, Music By, Costume Designer, Edited By, Production Designer, Director of Photography, Co-Producer(s), Executive Producers, Produced By, Based on, Written By, Directed By. The sequence was bland, not truly having any imagery except a growing jack-o-lantern from being smashed, which added more to the sequence.  The connotation of the images in the opening sequence give it a sense of that something is returning. Since a crushed pumpkin (or jack-o-lantern) is shown returing, as if a day or a time has returned for something terrible

 A film that our group researched was the 2022 horror film "Watcher" We used the site Art of the Title in order to view and research on the film. The film followed our genre of horror films. The opening sequence of the film included titles such as the name of the parent cumpany and subsidies, Film By, the names of the actors of the film, Casing By, Music By, Edited By, Costume Designer, Production Designer, Director of Photography, Produced By, Executive Producer, Created By, Directed By. During the sequence, it's not really a image that is prioritized, but more as a set area in an apartment. The shot shows two people in the apartment while it is zooming out. The connotation of the scene is a feeling of being watched, as if someone was watching the characters within the film. The more that it zoomed out, the more it felt as if there was someone or something watching the characters of the film.  The film establishes a feeling of horror as it gives the audience a feeling of

 One of the opening sequences that our group decided to research from the 2020 film "Underwater." Our group used the site "Art of the Title" in order to research and view the title sequence from the film. The film's genre was a horror, action, sci-fi, falling under the genre we wished to make. In the opening sequence, titles displaed in the sequence include the company presenting it, the subsidaries of the film, the title of the film, the Music By, Edited By, Names of Actors, Casting By, Visual Effects Supervisor, Production Designer, Director of Photography, Executive Producer, Produced By, Story By, Screenplay By, Directed By. During the sequence, the images priorirized included documents such as maps and news articles. No people were shown in the sequence, it seemed to be mostly blueprints and plans. The connotation that the images in the sequence carried included a sense of growing dread, as if something was going to occur. The articles seemed to continuousl

 One of the opening sequences that we decided to research was from the 2020 film "Ramdom Acts of Violence." We used the website "Art of the Title" in order to view and research on the opening sequence of the film. The film is a horror movie, which correlates with the genre we are aiming to create. Within the opening sequence, the titles that were displayed in the first few minutes were the company's name, the director (or in this case "A Film By..."), Casting By, Music By, Costume Designer, Editor, Additional Editing By, Production Designer, Director of Photography, Co-Producer, Co-Executive, Executive Producer, Produced By, Illustrated By, Written By, and Directed By, amongst other titles within the sequence. In the sequence, there weren't really any images prioritized. The sequence was filled with a lot colors, but not to the point that the titles of the team for the movie was unreadable, but to the point where it was extremely noticable, almost

For the first website researched for titles, we came across 'Watch The Titles!' through Google searches. In Watch The Titles, the website immediately gives categories to what the visitory, in this case us, wants to see: student projects, tv shows, and featured movies. The site was large in the movies in their catalog. They had animated titles, titles made with CGI, and so many other titles. The site was able to meet our needs when it came to researching what we needed for our project. In the descriptions of every title sequence, the site gave background information to each title for each movie. For example, through the website we were able to learn the common camera angles and the elements included within horror title cards. The reason that our group decided to use this website as a method of research is because of the vast titles it contains, as well as the detailed background and process behind the titles. With this site, we are able to understand the title creation, not just

  1. In the opening scene (and throughout the whole movie) Michael watched his victims before killing them, similar to what we plan on doing. He also wears a mask and our guy will wear one too. 2. While he watches his victims it’s usually quiet so we get a feel of the area or setting, then when he’s about to kill or killing music starts playing making it more suspense. 3. I feel like most kills could’ve been avoided and that people in the movie sometimes just tend to make simple mistakes that get them killed.

1. The killer throughout the movie watches the people he’s going to kill before actually killing them. He also wears a mask to hide his identity similar to what we are doing 2. The killer likes to call people before attacking and that adds a touch to his character, the killer is well covered up until the end. They don’t play music or anything till the actual killing which adds suspense. 3. That the lady in the movie (and other characters) tend to make careless mistakes that get them killed or close to death.

1. It has horror and is based on a male trapped inside a doll and trying to get out and killing people, not exactly like ours but sorta there. 2. The guy we follow in the movie has a purpose and it’s to get back into a human body. Chucky is smart about what he does and how he does it. His plan on putting himself into a doll then manipulating a child was smart. So it shows that the killer has intelligence which is probably needed to do something that risky. 3. He kills people without reason sometimes, for example when he kills Maggie he really had no purpose in doing so.

We really liked the vibe horror movies gave off. Me and my group mates are also very big fan of horror movies.we had a great idea for our pitch with the horror genre.our idea for if our movie intro was horror was to have women getting out of her car, with a man watching her. She goes into house, later man enters and scares her. We also really liked the action genre. Action was our second choice. we didn’t have many Ideas for how we would have made an opening sequence with the action genre. Making a action also seemed like it would have been to complicated since it involved a lot of moving around. We can only imagine how hard the filming and stunts would have been. Our last choice for our movie opening was romance. We liked the idea of a romance but didn’t go with it/ made it our last choice. One of the Main reasons we didn’t use it was because we did a romance for our music video. For romance would have done a sad film on a couple. One of them was sickly and was dying and they wanted t

  Some common camera angles and movements that are common in romance movies are high angles, low angles, close- up and extreme close-up. Tracking shot, long shot, medium close up, medium close-up and tilt are also common. Some common sounds that romance movies use are diegetic sound and non-diegetic sound. Dialogue, and ambient sounds are also common.  Some common editing techniques that romance movies use are eye-line match, and shot/reverse shot. Common costumes are regular cloths that people wear every day. Romance movies also use formal dresses, if the actor/characters are going to a ball. They also use it it there are princess romance movies. Common lighting key lighting, back lighting, soft lighting, and motivation lighting. They also use bright lightings. Common acting is that all actors act casually, in love with a person, sad and other emotions. Some common props and sets can be houses, neighborhoods, things that people use in their day today lives are also common in romance f

  Horror is a genre that seeks to create a sense of panic, fear, alarm, and dread within its audience. These films often rely on the portrayal of people’s fears and nightmares. Usually centering upon the arrival or occurrence of an evil person, force, or event, they incorporate large amounts of gore within the plot. Common Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots: High angles are a must given that it makes a victim seem powerless and vulnerable by being looked down upon. Close-ups are used to capture strong emotions on characters’ faces such as fear or sadness A tilt is a cornerstone of horror films as it adds dramatic tension to shots that increase a feeling of fear and mystery. POV shots are additionally an immense part of horror films because it shows what the character is feeling and creates combined with other techniques can induce an altered mental state image for the audience. Common Mis-En-Sen:Often within horror movies, the location will often be in isolation or in a domestic setti

The action genre is one where the main character is thrown through a series of obstacles such as physical feats, combats, and chases. Its subgenres include adventure and disaster among others. Common Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots: During emotional scenes, Extreme close-ups shots eye levels angles are common to show internal turmoil High angles and low angles are especially used to establish that clear good guy / bad guy convention that is common in action films. Extreme long shots will be used to establish the scenes and locations. Tracking, especially using a dolly, is common to follow fight scenes to create intensity in the movement. Common Mis-En-Sen:Often set in disheveled or clinically perfect settings; at one extreme or the otherThe lighting dims depending on emotion; darker if a negative emotion.Props :accurate to the time period and location, but often include weaponry such as guns, swords, etc. Actors and characters are often dirty or spotless, portraying a serious tone.

  Pitch A: A women is getting out of her car, there’s a man in the back watching her, goes into house, later man enters and scares her. This would require all of us to meet up at one of our houses. Then someone would have to wear a mask and be the man. We would also need someone to be the lady who is followed into her house. We would also probably use 2 camera people. This pitch isnt hard to make. Pitch B: Friends playing games on facetime, one hears something goes and checks it, comes back things are misplaced, gets worried and panicking, then killed by man. This would make us have to be playing a video game while on face time. Then someone would have to be the person who gets up and checks what the noise was. Then come back and see their things moved around. Then they would begin worrying and they would need someone to film them. Then a second person would have to dress up and kill them. We decided we have to do pitch A because pitch B would be a little harder to fit into a 2 minute

 Hello again, once again my name is Jean Sanchez. I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale Florida and have lived here my whole life. The last time I did one of these I think I had 1 dog, now I have 2. I now have a new pomsky named Miko. I still also still have my yorkie Chewbacca (he is my favorite). Then I still have my cat coco, so it could get pretty chaotic in my house. I am also still doing band with the marching and now symphonic band at my school as a trumpet player. I quit working out for awhile I found myself too busy to keep working out so I had to quit for now. I plan on going back to the gym in the near future. Recently I have rekindled my love for collecting pokemon cards, I have been getting back into it pretty quickly. I plan on making money off it too, I have some cards that have good value and plan on purchasing ones that could be good in value. I have already filmed the commercial project and the music video. I learned a lot from making the commercial and music video

 Hey, it's me again, I am back. Its time to write another blog. This time I will be writing about my group and why I chose them. I am working with the same group and people I worked with on the other projects. Those people are George, Juliana and Jocelyn and me. I decided to work with them because I already worked with them and well why change people? We have all gotten used to each other and work well with each other. The other projects we have worked on came out well so I hope this one comes out well again. I have a busy schedule coming up so I hope I don't let my group down. Either way we are all sorta busy but can work it out. Me, George and Juliana are in band and Jocelyn is in theater. Im not sure exactly what we are planning on doing yet but that'll come soon. Depending on what we decide to do for this video will determine what I will be in charge of. I have come up with a few ideas on what our video should be about but they are a bit eh. We are al working together t
