Planning Blog: Scripts


The film opens with a blurred pan across Daniel’s dining room. As the camera comes into focus, it would pass by a box. On the box would be our first title. As the camera passes the box, it would stop on a shot of a group of friends sitting and eating. It would then cut to a shot of the camera panning across the table, passing a chair with another title on it. Following this, one of the friends (character #1) would get up, and another title would be displayed on the back of his shirt as he walks by. Next, the camera would move towards character #1’s plate showing another title. Character #1 would then place his plate in the sink, and rinse it with water. In an over the shoulder shot, character #1 would wipe the plate with a sponge, which would remove one title, and replace it with another. Character #1 would then hear a noise coming from the garage, and would turn towards it. Right after this, the camera would turn, revealing another title. Character #1 would decide that this sound was probably nothing, so he would return to the dining room. Once there he would tell his friends he has to go, and another friend (character #2) would say that he also has to go. As the two walk out the door, the shot would show the door closing, revealing another title on the door. The two would leave together, as character #2 would hop on his bike, showing another title on the side of the bike, and character #1 would grab his skateboard and go, showing a title on the bottom of the skateboard as he picks it up. 

The next scene would follow them down the street. Soon they would go in different directions, but the shot would follow character #1. The scene would then cut to a shot of the skateboard rolling with nobody on it. The next shot would be an ariel shot of the skateboard hitting a curb and stopping, showing the last title, “Directed By…," before fading to black.

My Final Intro Blog

Image
  Welcome back everybody to my last intro blog ever. I am Daniel Brinkworth and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am so excited that I am finally in A level media studies. I can’t wait to start my final task for a level. Last year for my final task we made an opening for a movie. Now that I moved up to A level i am tasked with making a five-minute movie. I have been so excited for this project since I first heard about it in the beginning of the year. My final task in AS level really helped me to understand what I need to do for my blogs, what I need to do for my editing, and what I needed to do when it came filming. The AS level final task gave me a good idea of what was going to be asked of me for my A level final task with some new elements I will need to include. Another thing the AS level final task really helped me do was figure out time management. I know that will be really important when it comes to this final project. Although the AS level final task required just th...

Editing for My Final Task

Image
  Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'm excited to talk about the editing process for my final task. Unlike last year, where I had a lot of help from my group, this year I'm alone. Last year, Rhys from my group took charge of most of the editing, and the video turned out great. However, this time around, I don't have that luxury. So, I had to figure it out on my own and I learned some new skills in the process. First things first, I scouted out different software options for editing. Many required payment or personal information. I then stumbled upon CapCut, which turned out to be a great choice. Once I imported my clips and added them to the software, along with the opening credits I'd already prepared, I was surprised to find that my footage exceeded five minutes. Initially, this seemed overwhelming. It actually forced me to trim down unnecessary shots and focus solely on the story. With all my clips in the software, I began editing my opening scenes, embedding titles, ...

Production Blog: Planning

Image
  Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the planning process that took place. My group mates and I worked very hard to plan out our final project. There were many steps that were involved in making our final project. One of the major things that we had to do was our storyboard. The storyboard is a scene-by-scene depiction of what we are going to film. This is very helpful when filming because we have something to go off of rather than just trying to throw it all together last minute. Another thing that was really helpful when planning was our title research because we were able to find similar movies and look at their opening scenes in order to get ideas of what we would like to do. This also helped with the storyboard because we were able to decide where to embed titles. It is very important to consider placement of where these titles should go. As a group we need to discuss and agree where each title should go. We also needed to decide where the titles will come...
