  What is the take away from the video?   I have taken into account all the factors and requirements for making a film. In addition to writing tips, I learned about production steps and post-production procedures. As a result of this experience, I have learned how to better prepare myself for filming than I have in the past.    What good information did you gather while watching  it?   Throughout  the entire production of the film, budgeting and resources will be crucial. You can shorten a film by cutting out unnecessary scenes until you're unable to  continue, thus reducing  it to just the highlights. An  important  part of making a film is preparation. The storyboard may still change during the making of the film even if you create an entire one. Let the story be guided by a theme and a tone. If you do not do so, it will confuse the audience.  Lastly, taking care of your cast is important because if you do not have respect them, they may not make it as easy to film.   How do you

  What is the take away from the video?   I have gained  knowledge and identified all the aspects and things needed to make a film. As a result, I learned how to write, how to produce, and how to post-produce. I learned that I could be better prepared for future filming.    What good information did you gather while watching  it?   The entire production process will require you to budget and utilize the resources you have at your disposal. When editing, cut the scenes down until you can't anymore which will result in the film being reduced to just the most significant parts. The key to making a successful film is preparation. Storyboards are never final; the film may still need to be altered. Stick to a theme and a tone and let it guide the story. If you do not  do so,  it will confuse the audience. Last but not least, if you don't respect your cast, they may not make it easy to film.  How do you envision this helping you through your short film process?   It has made way for m

 In 9 the short film, the plot was very straightforward. It didn't really entail many abnormal distinct features that added to plot. There was very limited character development. In relation to the characters, we didn't see much of the main character "9" opinion or character. Regardless, the maker did an amazing job with the character distinction with the time given. The viewer was able to identify the main protagonist and antagonist with those simple ten minutes. In addition there was a clear beginning middle and end. The main antagonist was able to be portrayed in the correct manner with the limited amount of viewing given. This is something that is extremely difficult to do with the genre and time given but the plot and character roles were very identifiable.  In 9 the full- length film, the plot was taken in a completely different direction. The character development was more established. The viewer was able to gain a better understanding and feelings toward the c

    We decided that a Drama film was the appropriate genre that matched our pitch. A drama matches a specific criteria,  that we want to meet so it would be easier to incorporate different things into the opening sequence without it being considered unorganized. The music is also a choice that we can make, with the proper permission. Seeing as we can use a song with or without words because both tend to be normal for those kinds of blogs, whether it be spooky or calm and relaxed, or even intense. The costuming and acting is entirely off of what we decide to make our story about. Drama is honestly the simplest and easiest to work with. Out other two choices were coming of age and comedy. We can easily incorporate both if those into a drama and kill three birds with one stone. At first we felt as if it would be hard to try and incorporate all of that into one sequence but we realized that if we did drama, we wouldn’t even have to incorporate “all” of anything. Our final decision is drama

   Drama CAMS- Dramas are usually associated with extremely close up shots, bird eye views, medium shots, over the shoulder shots and close ups.  MIS-EN-SCENE For drama's things like setting, props, and costumes may vary but in regards to things like acting and make-up they are usually the same. Through most of the movies viewed, drama's are usually associated with serious acting, not a lot of joking around. The makeup like most films that aren’t superhero movies, are natural. Same for costumes, the just depend on the characters  Editing- The editing always has some kind of foreshadowing. They try to let the characters know that something is going to happen through the way they edit the sequence is very fore-shadowy. Sound-  The sound happens to vary, but it’s normally a very still-sounding no word track playing. Like horror movies, not a lot of descriptions Examples of dramas would be Little Women, The fallout, and After Things I love about the opening sequences are the usage

    CAMS- Most comedy films don’t have camera work in their opening sequences but when making the film their CAMS would be.. Tracking Shots and Pan shots to follow specific characters  POV shots (they always have atleast one scene where they show a situation from the characters perspective.) MIS-EN-SCENE- not a lot of this in an opening sequence but when there is it’s normally… costumes can honestly range depending on the type of film but are usually pretty casual teenage clothing, nothing out if the ordinary  makeup if not a cartoon or something of that nature is natural, nothing dramatic unless the character has a specific look to portray props would be based on scenes. lighting all depends on location but it is usually bright because of the happy feeling the comedy is trying to give off but it may vary depending on the film (for example scary movie) the acting always depends on the plot, which is normally depending on whether the main character is a girl or boy if there is acting in

   Coming of age CAMS- Most coming of age films don’t have camera work in their opening sequences but when they their CAMS would be.. Tracking Shots (always following the main character some where) Pan (main character maybe being followed from the side) MIS-EN-SCENE- not a lot of this in an opening sequence but when there is it’s normally… costumes are pretty casual teenage clothing, nothing out if the ordinary  makeup is natural, nothing dramatic unless the character has a specific look to portray props would be based on scenes, if they are at school then they’d have a bag, or a phone lighting all depends on location, and the mood of the scene. sadder scenes, darker lighting. happier scenes, brighter lighting the acting always depends on the plot, which is normally depending on whether the main character is a girl or boy if there is acting in the opening sequence, then it would probably be acting that misleads the audience from what the actual plot of the movie is Editing-  editing is

 The Genres that we plan on researching are Drama's, Comedy's, and slice of life's. All of these movies being things that we could do for the idea that we have. The idea being the life of a teenage girl that goes through struggles. Anyway that we take it would be amazing. I feel as though that no matter what road we take it, the idea will really tie together and we will be able to make an amazing short film. In addition, these genre's may not be very similar but that just left room for creativity. We have ideas that if we take struggles and make them sad it would really touch the hearts of people that may be going through the same thing. Not only that, if we take the struggles and show them as a slice of life then it will really go and spread awareness that people struggle. On top of all that if we go ahead and show the struggles of a person through a comedy it can show a person going through it, it really isn't that bad and they can pull through. All of our genres
