Final Project Mood Board

Image
My mood board supports my movie trailer as it creates a suspenseful, scary, intense, mood for the reader. My mood board is fairly dark as my film really takes place outside at night time, so it'll be dark which builds up more suspense. There are two icons of people running to symbolize the silent pursuit that takes place. There is a mute button present to show the silence, however there will be subtle sound effects like feet running, intense breathing, etc. just no talking. A mask, knife, blood, and body bag, is all to imply crime and the murderer who is disguised and now chasing a witness. This takes place all outside in a neighborhood, the murdered is near a lake unloading a body bag and the witness is just a person who so happens to be going on a night walk.

Final Project Idea

 My final project idea, is a silent pursuit. It'll be based on someone just going out for a walk to clear their mind when they accidentally witness a crime. In an attempt to cover their tracks the criminal starts following them. The genre of my project is thriller. My project fits the convections on this genre because my project involves a murder, a chase, and a lot of intense suspense being built up from moment the witness noticed something off. My project will be different because this thriller involves a silent pursuit and the plot leading up to that, is highly intense as a murderer is seen dragging a body in a body bag to a lake. The witness immediately starts taking off, and in attempt to tie up loose ends, the murderer starts silently chasing them, so there they are on a silent pursuit.

Brainstorming

I'm leaning towards my film being based on high school teens since that'll be more easy for me to be creative with, as I am a high school teen myself making me more experienced on that area of matter. I'm debating on doing a film based on #1a teen with a rich family being kidnapped and held for ransom, #2 a teen committing a crime and being arrested, and #3 a teen sneaking out to a party and getting arrested. A pro about the third option would be that it's awfully common that these things happen, but a con is that I don't know how sure I am that I'll be able to do a police scene with an actual police car or officer present. As for the second option, the problem present in the 3rd one applies here as well, as I would like to include a scene of the teen committing the crime to be arrested. A pro of the first option is that I would be able to create some great scenes with props I can more likely get access to, a con would be that I'm not quite sure how I would ...

I'm commenting on the film "Roll Call", this film had a very interesting opening. From the beginning where a very suspenseful music choice was playing, I felt the suspense building immediately. As I seen the police car with the lights flickering, and an officer walking out of the police car, I felt a sense of curiosity. I was curious on what happened and wanted to watch more as that scene was cut off and faded into a sight of someone walking up to the police headquarters. The title itself is very eye catching and gives the viewer an idea of what might be shown in this film and what it may be about. As this film goes on I can tell that  there has been some sort of crime and it leaves the viewer wanting to continue to watch it to get to the bottom of it. I do wish some of the actors acting was done a little bit better.

Mood Board

 This mood board conveys the overall mood of the show Greys Anatomy. In this show there is a lot romance, relationships, MEDICINE, and overall a lot of medical drama. The hearts on my mood board represent all the romance, relationships, and love going on throughout the show. The images of surgeons and operating rooms were included because the whole show is mainly based on surgeons, and them performing surgeries.  I included a couple of medical equipment as these are used a lot throughout the show as they are using them to treat people. The image of the hospital plays a big part as majority of the show is filmed in a hospital, as the help sick patients. The ambulance represents the way some patients are brought to the hospital as we see it multiple times throughout the show.

Title Sequence Research

Crash- This title is in big words across the screen and looks like beat up metal. The words have a wonky look to them with dents and different types of deformities. The background is like a blue that starts as white and fades to black. This leads me to thing that there'll be some sort of car crash and damage is done, by the dents in the words. The metal look of the words also gives me a feeling that this a crash involving a car because of the way a car dents look when hit. Lost Highway- This title is in yellow bold words, going across the screen. The background has a road going straight down with yellow lines down the middle, which matches the words across the screen. The road is empty and everything around the road is pitch black, also in the dark it is known that people are bound to get lost. An image of a empty, dark, scary, ride on the highway is created, without reading the words you can tell that this will likely take place sometime on a highway in the dark.  The beekeeper- T...

Group members?

 I will be working by myself on my AICE media studies project. Though I am working alone, I will still receive help as I will need it throughout my production process. I'll have help from my sisters as well as friends, and everyone else in my life who can and are willing to contribute. In the process of making my film, I will have one of my sisters and a friend or two as actors, as I will be the person actually behind the camera. Also as for my editing process I'll mainly be doing that on my own and then have my family view it before it's finalized. I chose to work alone because though I am familiar with some of the people in my class, I'm not quite comfortable working with them. I don't really talk to them and sometimes I can be a little bit shy, but really working by myself isn't something that bothers me at all. I think that working by myself will allow me to do exactly what I want and express my ideas how I please, on my own time. I also know that I can alwa...
