  Brainstorm Who's doing what Mood Board

  Location The Alley What We Wanted What We Got Here we have photos of the top of the alleyway (right), and the top entrance to the alleyway (left). For our project, we originally aimed for a narrow, enclosed alleyway with an overgrown and abandoned aesthetic to enhance the eerie, isolated atmosphere of our scene. The chosen location would have provided a sense of confinement and unease, reinforcing the tension we wanted to create. However, since we need to film on school grounds, we had to adjust to a wider alleyway that, while still somewhat secluded, does not feel as claustrophobic. While this changes the framing and overall mood slightly, we can compensate by using tighter camera angles, strategic mise-en-scène, and lighting techniques to maintain the desired effect. The Entrance To The Construction Site What we wanted What We Got  Here Is the Entrance to the construction site/ underground parking lot. For our project, we were hoping for a secluded side door with a reflect...

  Purpose Of An Opening sequence: An opening sequence sets the scene, by showing the viewer where it's based and by giving them a rough idea of what is,  has and will happen without giving away too much. The opening sequence can also give clues to the genre or tone of the film. Difference between Opening Credits and Title Sequence: Opening credits and a title sequence serve different purposes in a film's introduction. The cast and crew is typically shown as opening credits, usually displayed in a text format over the first scene or a display. On the other hand, a title sequence incorporates animations, theme-related pictures, and music, which set the tone of the film, and serves a more designed purpose. Sections are displayed together in a unified manner that tells the audience what the section is about without having to put that into words. While credits are there just to provide information, a title sequence serves as the first part of the story and serves a more complex pur...

  Practice Shots My group and I took some practice shots Establishing Shot I am happy with this one :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quX119qxfKE Dialogue Shot  Our audio on this one wasn't very good, as you can barely hear the actor. We now know that this is something that we need to focus on improving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvortGMwM8U&t=2s Tracking Shot The subject was slightly out of focus, and the tracking was shaky. We will need to make sure to practice more of this type of shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRqprnG2hg8&t=2s

 The opening scene of  'A Quiet Place' creatively establishes the scene with good use of the 4 technical elements. The scene starts with a collection of establishing shots, ranging from close-ups to wide shots. These shots start outside, and are accompanied by the diegetic ambient sounds or wind blowing through the desolate streets of the town. When paired with the setting and how it is portrayed, this perfectly sets an eerie, apocalyptic and mysterious scene; depicting an abandoned town with overgrown vegetation, and scattered objects, depicting a post-apocalyptic world. The color pallet in the establishing shots uses very washed out and muted colors, which could show the bleakness of the world, and create the idea that there is no joy or fun in this world. This is later supported when Lee (the father), tells Beau (the youngest son) to leave behind his toy rocket. Within These establishing shots, there is a good use of  sound perspective, as the volume and sounds change ...

 "Complete Guide To Camera Shots And What They Mean" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TSeyoNpyLI The Camera is a 'toolbox' that is made to be used by people Camera shots can help identify aspects, moods and even the personalities of characters before anything else about them is revealed. Camera Shot Types: Wide shot: Establishes the subject within their environment. This helps the audience get their bearings as a scene plays out While wide shots are ultimately used for establishing shots, they can also be used to show the physical and emotional space between two characters, or to juxtapose something huge with an individual character to show how vast a challenge that lays ahead may be. Full shot: Shows subject in their entirety. Can be useful when there needs to be more than one subject in frame, or when the environment provides visual information being relayed. Medium Full shot: Singles out a subject whilst still showing environment.  Cowboy shot: A heroic take on the...
