Blog Post #16 - Initial Storyboard

Image
 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

 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.

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...

Blog Post #1 - Final Project Idea

Image
Concept for the Film My idea for my final project is a fictional crime film, mainly set in a suburban neighborhood. The idea of the film is that there is a black-hooded killer, the antagonist being seen around this neighborhood, and whenever anyone sees this killer, they disappear. The protagonists will be the detectives, Ed and Fern, who are friends but argue with each other often, who have been sent out to figure out the origins of the killer. The names for these characters were influenced by names of people i know, one of which being myself.  My Idea For the Opening The opening scene of the movie will be the two detectives in the office leaving their office. I’m unsure about the specifics at this point in time, but I have an idea of a close-up of the detectives' hands picking up car keys and their coats. This will transition into a scene of them driving down the road in a car, as a timelapse. This timelapse will be followed up by showing the detectives exiting the car to determi...
