Planning Parameters of Group Film Opening

On March 2nd, 2021, my teammates Dillon Wilson, Nicholas Davila, Jonathan Spence, and I discussed the parameters of our group film opening. We talked about 6 key points, our audience, genre, theme, point of view, the protagonist, and plot of our film. Additionally, we discussed and created a save a cat beat sheet, which includes beat 1: The Opening Image, beat 2: Theme-stated, and beat 3: The Set up. The Save The Cat beat sheet is a popular story structure template that film makers use to subdivide the beginning, middle, and end of a story into 15 plot points. In this case, we only discussed the first 3. Everything can be seen below.

Production Company Logo Design

Production Company Logo Design In the pre production phase of our movie "Caught Up", we had to come up with a production company logo design. The name of our production company is "Power Productions", which evokes a powerful and energetic feeling behind it. We discussed various ideas of what the logo would look like. At first, we came to the decision that the logo should be a lighting bolt that reflects the idea of "Power" in our company. Additionally, we thought that the logos primary colors should be yellow and black to reflect what the traditional color of a lighting bolt is. Consequently, we would go to a free website where you can design company logos and came up with the image shown below. After a continued discussion of what the company logo should look like, we decided that the initial logo we created was too basic and did not fit into the film we were creating. As a result, we created an animated logo that represents the idea of "Power Prod...

Camera Composition Storyboard Poster (Group Assignment)

Camera Composition Storyboard Poster This is the last part of the camera composition assignment, where my teammates and I come up with 8 frames using 8 of the compositional techniques we analyzed and put it on a storyboard. A storyboard is a sequence of drawings or illustrations used to visualize a shot or frame. For this assignment, we came up with a description for each frame and put it on our poster or storyboard. The description line included the character's name, action, and location where the hand-drawn frame is taking place. Lastly, we had to document the camera shot size, angle, and camera framing of the frames we drew. An example of this is shown below. Since Brian Mareus was the best drawer in our group, he was responsible for drawing the images we came up with for each of the techniques: Rule of Thirds, Symmetry, Assymtrey, Leading Lines, Shapes, Deep Focus/ Shallow Focus, Foreground in Focus/ Out of Focus, and Background in Focus/Out of Focus. The rest of the gro...

Pre Production (Storyboard)

Pre Production (Storyboard) Pre production is the most important step towards creating a sustainable film. It is the process of planning or designing elements of a film prior to its production. This means coming to a unanimous decision on what the film should be named, what the theme of the film should be, and the elements we can use to support the genre being developed. The name of our film is "Caught Up". The film revolves around the main character Spence who is given an assignment to take care of a bag that was later found out to be wanted by the boss of the antagonist Berry Doncic. Berry catches Spence, knocks him out, and takes the bag and now Spence even though not knowing what is in the bag wants revenge and to get the bag back. To plan out how we would organize the opening scene of this type of film, my teammates and I created a storyboard. For each shot on our storyboard, it shows a depiction of what the scene will look like, a description of it, the camerawork use...
