New Film opener ideas

 After the past 2 classes I have learned a better understanding of what a film opener is and how it should be constructed. It turns out my original idea was  no good and for a little while I was stuck and had no clue of what I should do. But now after going over our jam board I picked up a couple of idea I can possibly use. 

1) one idea is a teenage girl who wants to get more active fit. This could be comedy genre. Some idea I had in store consist of

-highlighting the lack of motivation (always sleeping or always on her phone)

-researching ways to get fit and healthy foods 

-try's certain exercises

One problem I may have is constructing a cliff hanger 

2) another idea is the current pandemic where multiple people is effected. This could be thriller. Some ideas I had in mind may be 

-showing different people life's now with a voice over

-how it effects them 

- maybe do a singular person describing their life now and how it changed 

Overall I over came my filmmaker's block and hopefully can start my idea soon

Production sample shots

  What was the filming process like? What worked and what didn't work? The filming process did not take that long being that is was sample clips. I did have to take multiple shots and different angles to find out what looks the best. My sample clips were based on utilizing the staircase. Certain camera positions did not work and my audio was to nosy because of the background noise. The low camera angle that only shows her feet did work and I like the outcome.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp567nrk-_0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t89xC1Vd5U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NHKh17gmGk

Film opener ideas

 I'm not exactly sure how I want to do my film intro. I have an open mind of ideas connected to one topic. I want to base it around teenagers, social media, online messaging, child abduction/human trafficking. I still have different ideas in my head and I'm thinking about how get my message across within 1-2 minutes. I feel like time is my greatest challenge.  I am somewhat confident when I will began the editing process since I like to do it and have been doing it for a while. I feel like I am creativity when it comes to that topic. I know I have the family and resources to bring my vision to life through editing and video.  My overall plans/ideas -starts off with a close up of a young girl texting someone -black out transitions  -edgy and intense music on very transition beat. -older guy comes off as another young person seducing young girl -mother telling the girl to be careful who you meet online and always tell her first I kind of see my vision as I see other movie trailer

''The Crossing'' Discussion Post

  The filmmakers use cinematic language to manipulate viewers reactions to the film  by cutting  certain scenes, using different shot  angles,  cinematic  invisibility,  and point of view .  With these things the filmmakers were able to connect them to one another making the ''perfect scene''. By using these film  techniques,  it allows each viewer to interpret  what is  going on their reaction to it .  For  example,  toward the end of the short film there is cinematic invisibility .  This technique was used when the  actor  was grabbed from behind then it went to a black screen. Right after it shows a clip with a closeup of one of  the lights . This was a  fast-moving  transition between the two shots. Another example is the use of shot angles, as there was many in this film .  When the  actor  was running in the big empty space it as a close-up low angle shot of her feet then cuts to a  far and  distant wide shot of her full body running .  Another example is when she
