Media Center Fun!!!!

Hi. So today our teacher sent us to the media center and put us into random groups with people in our class where we pitched our ideas to our classmates for some criticism. So as I said my groups idea they did not seem too thrilled. They said the idea seems rushed and we should introduce our main character in the beginning. So we began to brainstorm, they helped me come up with some great ideas.

One idea was to stick with are original idea but to have one of the girls who gets stabbed to stay alive and she would try to solver the murder. The problem with that one to me is that it seems very corny that she would be able to solve a murder before the cops would.

But this idea sounds really great, so the film would be about two killers who are friends and who only kill bad people. The opening would be a parallel shot of the two killers finishing up a kill, then cleaning up their kill. This would be happening at the same time as the other shot, and since they are two different people they can have different ways of killing people, which we can show with different types of shots. As the two finish up they walk out of the house they were killing in and they meet in the street and the parallel shot stops and the two are now in the same shot and begin to talk about their kills. Throughout the scene we would put fun music in the intro, showing that it is a fun time for them. It reminded me of the Guardians of the Galaxy opening, watch it here.

So I will bring this idea to my group on Wednesday and see what they think.

Hobo Hole

Good afternoon! Today we filmed our intro for our film Unlaced, it went very well and we got some awesome shots to work with. We still have like three shots to get but we are going to film that on Thursday. Today we went to Markham Park, a local park with great places to film. We went to the famous "Hobo Hole", basically it is a tunnel that goes under the highway. We did not go in the hole because it was closed up. But we did climb up the ramp under the freeway and got some awesome shots. The one thing I did not like about today is that I had to lay on the ground and act dead, the ground was full of ants that loved to nibble on my skin. The weather today was perfect for our shoot, it was gloomy out, which is the tone of our movie. But it was hazy and it looks like it was going to rain, which it did after we left. One thing I am going to have to do later this week is find a song for the first few seconds of the film. Im looking for something like the Walking Dead theme. S

Character Profile

Hey guys, so we decided to go with my idea of the two gay boys. We have our entire opening planned out and we are going to film of Sunday. In this post I am going to go through the character description of our main character Brennan (which means sorrow) here is proof . Brennan is a gay teen who is not open about his sexuality, was secretly in a relationship with Leo, who has tragically been killed by Brennan on accident. But that is not the point right now, Brennan is ashamed of the fact that he is gay, he is scared of what his friends are going to say and does not know what his parents will say. He is not alone, a survey taken in 2013 states that 4 in 10 kids who openly come out with their sexuality are not accepted by her family or friends, here is the study . Brennan feels like he would be shunned by his family and friends so he does not tell anyone. Being a closed gay teen is tough not only at home but also in school, there are cases of bullying all over the world, but it is prom

Ideas are flowing!

Wow, I did not realize how difficult this is going to be... The making of our movie will not be the hard part; that will be me and my group members thinking of a great film opening.  First we stared to name our favorite movies and gp over those first two minutes. Movies listed were, The Dark Knight, Inception, Napoleon Dynamite, along with tons of others. We realize that we did not have the budget or skip set to re-create anything like those openings. So we all went to brainstorm. My group member Austin had an idea to base our opening on a drug attic, he gave some background to his story, but in my opinion it was not a good idea at all. And then one of my other group members, Andres, built on his idea and made it even more confusing! UGH. There is no way we can make that idea interesting. I cannot even describe the idea here, I don't remember the specifics because I kept on having to argue with Andres and Austin. But it includes a man being kidnapped in the first  two minute
