 Hey blog, I have started to film my project. I decided to have my dad be a big part of my opening. I want the suspense of me and him possibly being separated because I am getting drafted into the war. I will be the main character so, I and my dad will take turns filming. I will start filming tomorrow and hope to finish filming by the end of the week. I will update you guys with video clips later this week. I am going to colorado for spring break, so I'm gonna get some cool shots that I really believe will represent how close I and my father are in this opening. The mountain terrain will also add an eerie feeling to my opening. Come on! Now that adds another element and gets the audience involved. The idea of a father and son trip will make it seem like we're the only people in the world. And the drama of getting the newsletter that says I'm getting drafted into the world will make the audience want more. Ok, that's it for my blog, see you tomorrow! https://image.shutte...

 Hey Blog! This week I will start the production of my project. I have come to the conclusion that I will be doing the idea of an 18-year-old boy that is getting drafted into the military because there is a war going on. I brainstormed this idea because the Ukraine war is going on and everyone is worried about getting drafted into the war. This film's opening will start with a boy that is a preppy rich kid. I plan to use close-ups across his body as he is getting dressed to represent the rich boy look. https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1831983962/preppy_400x400.jpg This is an example of how I would like to represent the main character. The rich boy look of this character really establishes a feel for him not being ready to get drafted into the war. I believe that this will get the audience guessing how he will do in this war and be a real attention grabber. Although, I am going to have to learn how to edit well enough, so I can show that there is a war going on. I will plan all ...

Hello Blog1  We have finished our music video project and are now transitioning to our portfolio projects.  This is an exciting part of the class as I have always been passionate about blogging and editing my very own film opening. I am thinking of what my film opening should be about and right now I'm between an opening about a young man getting drafted into the military, or a film opening showing a sports player. I will be trying to get the rights to have the song, "you make my dreams come true" in my music video. I believe that this will be a good attention-getting device as it is such a catchy song.   I have been brainstorming about the genre for my film opening and came to the conclusion that I want to do something different than other people and that's why I'm choosing comedy or drama. I'm kinda leaning more towards comedy as it relates to my personality more and I will just be able to flow ideas. Bye blog! Till next time.
