Title Research: Vantage Point

            Welcome my enthusiastic friend's! Today I will be talking about the opening sequence of the film "Vantage Point" from 2008. I found this opening sequence on art of the tile. This film follows the same genre my group is using which is thriller! 

The opening sequence begins by naming the production company and who they associate with. The background is more of a dark color scheme therefore they use white for their titles. "Columbia pictures presents" and "In association with relativity media" both slide on to the screen just like a typewriter which was pretty cool and unique. The titles then slowly fade away after about five seconds. Another title that is presented is "An original film production" which has the same effect as the other titles. The last title in the opening sequence is the title of the Movie "Vantage Point" but this title is in a different part of the screen as well as being in a black color and bigger font then the other titles. 

The main image that seems to scatter throughout the opening sequence is the opening setting. At the end of the opening sequence, we are shown a landmark and at the bottom of the screen reads "Salamanca, Spain." This shows the audience that this location is more than likely where the movie will begin and prioritize from. 

The opening sequence does a good job at following the thriller genre that my group and I are using. The main aspect I noticed was definitely the music. The music is very intense from the beginning and personally keeps you on edge. There is also a use of transitions showing the location of the film at many different angles. This aspect, including the music definitely creates a thrilling feeling from the get-go and makes the audience intrigued on what is to come. 

The journey isn't over yet! Till next time my enthusiastic friends!

The process of each shot!

                Hello there my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I will be talking about how we finished the solo shots. The day that we filmed our first few shots I was not in them because we didn't have a guy who would be in the video. But now we have my friend Connor who agreed to be part of the music video. So, my part is being caught cheating with Marissa's boyfriend. And that now boyfriend is Connor. And all of this will be discussed in my next blog. But in today's blog I had finished up looking at the last two solo shots we filmed which were in scenes six and nine. In scene six  Riley comes to Marissa's room to console her. And then Marissa gives her a hug and thanks her.  That scene is a solo shot as Riley is filmed alone opening the door to Marissa's room then Marissa appears in view. And then they are both seen together hugging and talking. In scene nine t here is a wide shot showing the firefighters playing music...

Production blog: The schedule

Image
                Welcome back my enthusiastic friend's! In today's blog I will be discussing the schedule for all members in my music video. So, to refresh, in my music video I will have Riley, Marissa and Peyton. The only problem is that our storyline requires a guy. So, in order to film multiple scenes, we need to find a guy to play the role of the boyfriend and the cheater. As our story line is a love triangle! As well as a heartfelt love story with a cool ending! And when it comes to the schedule, it's going to be difficult to work around. Riley has a job and Peyton lives far from our filming location. So, finding a day where Riley is off of work and Peyton has a ride will be a struggle. But we were able to film at the Fire Station today which was awesome because we got the first few scenes done. We did have to go out of order because we don't have a guy to fulfill the role yet. We were thinking about using our friend Connor. The only...

Movie Research: The Glass Onion!

Image
 My enthusiastic friends!! In today's blog I will be discussing the last movie research I did and that was on the glass onion! Although there is a wide variety of camera angles and shots, I found that the most used two in this movie are high and low angles. A low angle is used to make the actor appear powerful or threatening. While a high angle is used to make the actor appear insignificant or vulnerable. However, a few establishing shots are used to show the environment in which the guest is in. The use of diegetic sounds is present when something eerie is about to happen. The sound of the doors shutting and lights flickering. Non-diegetic sounds are the sounds used when someone is running away from another, the dramatic music that follows. The lighting tends to become darker when something is about to happen, while the sun is out, and the lighting improves when a good outcome happens.   The movie had lots of props to add to the storyline. The use of a weapon to protect the ...
