WEEK ONE BLOGS


As my group and I started to brainstorm what we wanted to do for our moving opening, we decided that the horror genre was definitely going to be what are movie genre is going to be. My group and I were originally going to have 5 people in the group that was going to be breaking in, but one of our extra actors (Aila) can't make it to our filming days. Now our actors who will be playing the break ins are Peyton, Sydney, Meadow, and me. We were thinking about whether the thing scaring the actors into running into an open cage is going to be a wild animal or a zookeeper/worker. At this point what we are thinking the whole opening will be is that there is a group of girls who break into the animal zoo and break a lock to get in. As they are walking, they are going to come across an escaped animal, get scared and run into a random opened cage, or they are going to get caught by a worker, try to outrun him, and then run into a random opened cage to try and throw him off. Either way our opening revolves around people breaking into a zoo, getting themselves locked in a cage, and then getting eaten alive by the animal they are trapped with. My group and I already assigned pre-production, production, and postproduction roles. This way it will be easy for all of us to get our jobs done. Our next main goal from here is to figure out equipment we need and to get our storyboard started and completed.

Our Movie Opening

 

Day Two of Filming week 5

      Our second production day was on Monday February 26, 2024. Peyton, Meadow, Ella, Sydney, Ella's dad (Clayton), and I arrived back at Big Cat Habitat to finish our filming. We all arrived at 4:30. The equipment we ended up using again was just the steady camera holder. We decided to arrive around the same time to make sure the lighting would look close to the same as the first production day. The first scene we started with was with Ella's dad jumping out and confronting us. Since that shot was filmed as a Point of View shot in my character's point of view, I stood behind a fence that was off-screen and signaled to Ella's dad when he should pop out. I would look at where the girls were stepping and when they were close to a line on the pavement in front of the gift shop I would signal a thumbs-up to Ella's dad to jump out. Then we filmed the chasing scene at different angles for the next 30 minutes. After we went to shoot the scenes of us locking ourselves into...

Week 2

      Now I am onto week two of our final project! This week I have started our story boards, and I am beginning to write our script. In order to start our storyboard my group and I all decided the script needed to be finished first. Before I could start to write the script, my group and I had to figure out the characters and how they were going to act. In the end my group and I decided on making me the nervous character, Sydney was going to be the aggressive character telling me to suck it up, and the other two weren't going to be scared or confident, more on the neutral side. We also decided we were going to film on 2/19/24 and 2/22/24. This way we have two days to make sure we can get the shots we want. Our costumes are still the same as of right now. The plan is still black ski mask, black pants, black long sleeves, black long pants, and black/neutral-colored shoes. Meadow and I are both planning on the characters showing the least amount of skin possible. This way it...
