Filming Problem

 Today Me and my group decided to film some part of our movie opening sequence. I picked the time for the filming after school since no one had anything to do. The school bell rung and I was dismissed I went to meet my group at the back of the school. When I got there the worst thing happened it started to rain. I knew that our filming day got cancelled since I could not film in the rain. I talked it over with my group and decided to go to someone's house to do more research. Me and my group decided to go to Mozur's house to do the research since it was the closest. When me and the group arrived we decided to go over our storyboard. Everyone explained their part of the storyboard in depth so the others could understand. This took quite a bit but it helped me understand each scene better than before. After that was finished me and the group still had a lot of time left so I decided to do other things for research. What was decided was for me and the group to watch some Thriller movies so I could see what types of shots the movies use through out. The first movie that was watched was "Ma" the movie had many types of shots. The ones that stood out the most was the Establishing shot and a the close up shot. The next movie that was watched was "Get Out" which was a great movie. Shots that stood out again was the establishing shot, the close up shots and the long shots. After seeing these two movies me and my group talked about them and I realized that establishing shots are really important to films since it sets the whole setting. Another really important shot in thrillers are the close up shots since it builds suspense because it shows the person visually nervous. After this discussion was over and my group and I understood what shot needed to be in the opening sequence it was time to go. So even though the plan I had was canceled the day did not go to waste.

 For my final task I decided to get in a group of 3 me and 2 others. This is a change from my past 2 project where I had 3 others making it 4 in total. At first I was going to work in a 4 person group. The same group as last time which involved Keith, Monzur, and Fahim. Fahim ended up switching schools after the music video project. Instead of trying to get a 4th person we decided to stay with 3. The reason being it was much easier to coordinate and it was too much of a hassle to find a 4th member. The reason I chose Monzur is because I have already worked with him in the past. I see him everyday at school so its easy to plan out things. I have known Monzur for a long while now and were pretty close although it has not always been like this. The first time I talked to Monzur was in middle school and we hit it off. We would talk when ever we saw each other in middle school. We got even close when we got to high school I would start hanging out with him more then COVID hit. Over the ...

 The genre we chose for our Final Task is the thriller genre. We all came together after school and had a long talk about which genre to chose. Out of the following 3 genres thriller,comedy, and love we chose thriller. One of the reasons we chose to use the thriller genre is because the type of shots are easy to film. One of the most popular shots used in a thriller is a establishing shot which is one of the easiest and most important type of shots. An establishing shot is the first shot in a scene which shows an overview of the setting. We can use a establishing shot to show when the action is happening and where it's happening. An establishing shot used in a thriller is much more important and easier to shoot compared to a comedy or a love story since in a thriller the setting is everything. Another Shot that is extremely useful and easy to shoot in a thriller is a tracking shot. A tracking shot is when the camera physically moves in any direction. Again this an extremely easy sh...
