Moodboard for Opening Scene

-

 In today's assignment, we were told to individually create a mood board for the opening scene that our group will be making. Below are the images.

    The overall tone I wanted to create for the mood board is dark and almost tense. This is best seen in the lighting that will be used, like the lowkey and natural lighting. This is also paired with the black shirt that the character will be wearing. This will contrast the therapist's more neutral color and formal clothes in the button-up. With the the house I want to create something more familiar to the audience and also within our ability, this is why we are just using a regular house in filming. This with the natural lighting will create a familiarity but also a more tense feeling. The therapist's office is likely to be in the same house but with things moving around similar to the images below. For this, I want to use lowkey lighting to really highlight the mindset of the main character. The props including the dog bowl, notepad, pen, and prescription bottle will all take a major role in showing the main character's mind.

Peer Reviews of First Cut

-
Below are the reviews for my peers first cuts of their movie opener.   https://youtu.be/pwUBkwR0Ths What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like? The technical element I really liked in the opening is the drone shot that they did. It was really well done and added to the cliffhanger that was necessary to be a continuation clip. Another element of the clip I liked was the closeups of the piano, especially the shot where the piano is being opened.  What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike? There was no sound in the video, this took away from the first 40 seconds. Especially since it seems like they are focusing on the playing of the piano within that. Another element is that some shots seem to hold a few seconds too long. This can be seen with the shot at 53 seconds, it seems to hold for about two seconds then it needed to.  Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?  This did l...

Evaluation of Peer Reviews

 In this blogpost I am evaluating the reviews that other students have made on the first cut of the opening scene. My reply to the review will be highlighted with pink. Anabel's Review What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?  I saw a lot of extreme close ups of Angelina and certain parts of her body to emphasize her nervous behavior which I liked. There was one the camera was focused on her hand while she was picking at her nail and another where she was fidgeting her foot. Before she began telling the doctor her routine,  There was a dutch shot inserted that may have been to set a smooth transition. The therapist had some clips where they zoomed in on him to show his confusion on what the patient was telling him. I also noticed some cross cutting elements where the clip of what the patient said happened appeared and it jumped to the clip that actually happened which was really cool. What specific technical elements of the film opening did ...
