Blog Post #53 - Editing: Opening Credits

Opening credits are an important part of any film, as they let the audience know who is in the film. This may give the audience context as to what the rest of the film may be like. In Blog Post #38 - Titling Sequence, I went over my plan to edit my titling sequence into my film and what shots they will be in. 


The opening credits scene in my project will be at the beginning, over my montage. The inclusion of the opening credits will help my opening scene to further grab the audience's attention, by showcasing the names of the actors in the film. Although it may not be in this project, occasionally, credits may grab an audience's attention by stating names that a wide audience may recognize, specifically celebrities. For example, people may recognize Tom Holland, or Zendaya, from the Spider-Man movies from the past decade. This may grab the attention of audiences who are fans of these actors, encouraging them to watch the film. 


As I discussed in Blog Post #38 - Titling Sequence, the opening credits will be displayed for Fernando Mesa, when the character he plays, Fern is on screen, and the opening credits for Eddie Mendoza (me), will display near when Ed will be on screen. Below is the scene that I have edited my opening credits into.

Blog Post #16 - Initial Storyboard

 In this post, I plan to give a general, current visual representation and sequencing for my project, and the scenes within it. These scenes include Fern and Ed speaking in the detective's office, Fern and Ed exiting the detectives office, Fern and Ed entering the car and driving in it, Fern and Ed appearing at the crime scene with the dead body, and possibly a scene featuring the killer.  This picture is a representation of the first scene, featuring an over-the-shoulder shot behind Ed, facing Fern reading the "S.K.B.D. News" This picture is a representation of the second scene, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office, through a two-shot, with Fern in the background, and Ed in the midground, picking up keys in the foreground. I chose this configuration to put emphasis on the keys.    These pictures are a representation of the fourth scene, which starts with an action cut from the last seen, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office driveway, through a wide shot.

Blog Post #41 - Obstacles Recording the Security Camera Scene

Image
 While me and my actors were getting ready to start recording, we ran into multiple unexpected problems. The scene I will be discussing in this post is the scene of the security camera footage, which features the Killer killing Lacey's Child, the Killer played by me, and the child by Ethan. The script for this scene has the killer approaching the child, and stabbing him, with (fake) blood flying out. Photo of me, Eriberto (Eddie) Mendoza, in the Killer's outfit before recording The problems we ran into may have been unexpected, but they were not unpredictable and could have been planned ahead. The biggest obstacle we ran into was the  weather . We noticed a few hours before, the sky had gotten gloomy, grey, and cloudy, but I dismissed it, being eager to start production. When my actors arrived at my house to record the scene, I felt a drop come from the sky, at this point I was starting to get worried, the sky had gotten darker and more grey.  Recording When we went to st...
