The Journey Begins!

-
Trying to formulate ideas about my film opening is a lot harder then i expected. i was told about this project the first week of school. back then i had many ideas about my film opening and how i wanted it to look. When i first enrolled in this class i knew very little about all the details and love that a film needs in order to thrive, but throughout the year i have gained a new appreciation for all media. As i sit in my room thinking about all my "amazing" ideas i had in the begging of the year, i feel as if my past ideas are not what present me wants to make.


At first i wanted to follow one of my favorite directors (Edgar Wright) style and play off of his key stylistic choices he shows in most of his films. but then after researching his style and how he shows his message i decided i wanted to go a different route. Even if i decide not to go with his comedic style i still feel like my film opening is going to be influenced by his work greatly. one of my favorite movies is Scott pilgrim vs the world 

I feel clueless as i look through different genres and film openings searching for a spark that will ignite my passion and motivation to make my project an amazing one.

I started the editing process and got around 1 hour in before my computer shut down randomly... I lost all my work. This week has not been my week at all. So after crying for about 15 minutes I got back to work and now that I had an idea on what i wanted it would be easier. I couldn't get  as much of it as I already had, but this is what I finished. I personally dont like how the audio sounds and want to fix it, I also dont like how the opening feels bland and forced, not as smooth as I wanted it.  I will fix all of these bumps throughout the week but im very disappointed I could barely get any actual progress done on my film, this means I have to work double as hard the rest of the time I have.  (I also found out very late in the editing process that I need to pay for this editing service and if I dont it puts a HUGE water mark in the middle of my film...this pissed me off... a lot.)

Color and story planning!

-
Color is one of the first things I try to look out for in a film, it gives a sense of past, present, and future of the character or scene. Over the last few days I have been looking at color and the tone/ mood I want to set for my film. the film is comical but also about a high school relationship. To compliment the love aspect i decided warm colors once the protagonist meets her crush, and faded bland colors before. but as for color correction it will be warm and give off almost like a foreign film vibe. But what i cant seem to get down are the colors im assigning to each character. I read and saw a video essay about Edgar Wright (I know i keep bringing him up but he has influenced how i see comedy a lot over the years) and it explained how he assigns colors to his characters.  Link to video essay   I felt that the main character should be red, from dark red before the crush and almost a pink after the crush to show passion. The father should be grey to symbolize his gloomy e...
