Adding another scene

In an image still from our fourth scene, Daniel opens the trunk of the car

    While we were reshooting, we decided to add another scene to our film. While this change may be abrupt and unexpected, we are sure that it is for the better and that it adds to the story, improving the film and making it more realistic and enjoyable to watch. The scene was inserted after the third and before the fourth scenes in our storyboard, and it consists of an increasingly aggravated and worried driver looking through the car after he stops it.

    He gets out of the car on the driver's side, and opens each of the doors and the trunk, travelling clockwise, while calling out for his friends. When he gets to the front passenger seat, instead of proceeding further forward, he goes through the car looking for traces of the people behind him, realizing that it isn't a prank. The way we've filmed this, the third, fourth, and fifth scenes transition almost perfectly into each other. We hope this scene will better show the transition between the driver being mildly worried to utterly shocked and disturbed, so much so that he has a mental breakdown.

    We hope this will improve the viewing experience for everyone involved!

Videos

A few days back, we were made to create five different shots for our class with a partner, each using a different camera angle. Here is my work:      Video #1 - Introductory Scene - This shot shows the campus before stopping and zooming in on a tree, which the audience will ideally view as being the most integral part of the story. It's introductory because it shows the setting of the rest of the movie and introduces key items. This shot was created by simply rotating the camera and then using the zoom function on it, zoning in on the tree. Our goal of making an introductory scene was probably achieved.      Video #2 - High Shot - This shot displays Arturo (my partner) from a high vantage point below the viewer. In the video, he picks up a stick and slowly points it upward, towards the camera. The way this was recorded was by me standing on a bench and rotating the camera angle down at Arturo, then slowly tilting it upward during the course of the filming i...

CCR - Creative Critical Reflection

This is my Creative Critical Reflection (Length 11:44): NOTE: THERE IS AN ERROR AT 2:03 - I say "DIEGETIC SOUND" when I mean to say "NON-DIEGETIC SOUND". Summary: Overall, it was a great experience working on this project. The film overall is a horror / adventure film about someone who "loses" some of his friends while driving without any explanation or reason. This causes him to have a mental breakdown, serving as the intro to our movie "Search", which will presumably be about the driver searching for his friends. Analyzation: 1st scene: Color is utilized to symbolize future and foreshadowing; Non-diegetic Sound is not used to keep tone neutral 2nd scene: Could potentially be improved; we did not give anyone dialogue to use Transition from 2nd to 3rd scene: Could potentially be improved; There is a problem in that some viewers may think a significant amount of time is passing between the two scenes. 3rd scene: Moment of shock for driver; area in...
