Planning: Title Design

My partner and I, Nicholas Arnold, spent a lot of time deliberating what kind of title we wanted to use and what the title would actually be. We also put much thought into how we could incorporate it into the movie opening. Our movie's genre is primarily horror. But, it also has mystery elements in it. The mystery comes from the plot point in which the murderer is unknown and could be among the group.
Title we cam up with was "Among Them". We came to this idea because of the hidden imposter among the group of friends. We discussed different titles such as "among us". However, we decided against that title idea because we considered it too cliché.

The hardest part of making a title was thinking up the font, font size, and color. The best font we found was a font called "Friday 13". It is a font similar to that of the popular horror movie series "Friday the 13th". It's a good match to our project because our movie is horror, just like the Friday the 13th franchise. Regarding the font size, we plan to use at least two different font sizes. We plan to use one size that is comparatively smaller for the credits. On the other hand, the font size we plan to use for the actual title card is going to be comparatively much larger. For the color, we initially wanted to use something dark. However, we plan to film part of the opening in the dark. So, using a dark font would blend the title into the background. To solve this, we decided to use red text on a black bubble-like background. The dark font and red coloring will make the audience feel fearful and anxious, which matches our genre.
For the integration of the title, we decided to put the credits in the background of the opening scenes and the big title at the end, after the dead body is reported.

Filming: First Scene

Image
 We decided that the first scene could be filmed at a separate time than the rest of the scenes because of its location. Not only that, this was filmed on a separate date. The script was changed to compensate this. The camping trip was scheduled for a later date rather than later that day in the story to maintain continuity. All group members and cast members were not together for this shoot, as we didn't need to be. There are no group parts in this scene besides ones that will be edited in. We got in a voice call together for communication purposes as the first shot was filmed. There needed to be two phones utilized for this shot, as the shot consisted of a phone on a table. Only phone cameras will be recording every scene, and this was no different, which is where the second phone comes in. The camera wouldn't move, as it captures a top-down shot of the table with a phone in its center. The phone would then ring and be picked up by an off-screen arm after a considerable amoun

Intro & Group Blog: Final Task

Image
 I am Nicholas Arnold, an 11th grader at Fort Lauderdale High. After the success of the previous project I worked on, I am excited to work on a new project with my improved editing skills. I feel that I am now fairly competent at editing footage. It would be an ideal scenario if I could use that skill in a group. This why I am choosing to participate in a group with Grant Cipollone. I have chosen to be in the same group for 3 separate reasons. The first is that Grant has good camerawork and can create great footage to use off of our ideas. This is something that I don't feel as confident with, so a project would turn out better with him filming scenes. Secondly, I am more knowledgeable of the editing software and can create a good final project with the footage given. This is all backed up by our previous work, in which we split the work between filming and editing to make a better finished work. There were no problems when it came to delivering the information and footage back and

Creative Critical Reflection

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? This commercial is targeted towards anyone with underlying medical conditions that could lead to constant uncontrollable headaches, specifically those who seek a solution to this condition. The commercial primarily advertises a product that is meant to fix these issues. The main goal of the commercial is to get the targeted audience to buy the product advertised by making a convincing plea that the product is worth buying. Migraines are an issue in many people's lives and this advertisement is an attempt at reaching this audience, and their wallets. It challenges the convention of the common issue of migranes by offering a solution. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
