 I'm so happy to have this done even though it's not exactly as I planned it my backup plan worked out. Hope you enjoy it!!

  Last day of editing my last opening scene. I arranged the clips in any order. In the scene, I had to install the camera and then use my mother's phone as a decoy or prop phone. I had to capture the name displayed on the phone, so I renamed the contact to "Unknown". Then I called her mother's phone from her phone and looked at her counter phone from above. In the next scene, I mainly wore loungewear and headed to the kitchen. Like any other cell phone, I picked up my cell phone, put on a hoodie and sweatpants, and grabbed that side. My next job was to take a picture of myself walking up the stairs.  This was a challenge when climbing, as it has an angle and the stairs are surrounded by two walls. Yes, the next thing to do on the farm is to record outside the house. This includes track shots and boat shots this morning. It's difficult because not everyone is there and you have to shoot differently. Bringing film images to life can be difficult due to quality and c...

     The tune I need to apply for my very last project is royal-unfastened and non-copyright. The track may be discovered on youtube as Cinematic Tension Trailer No Copyright Background Music. The motive I desired to apply this sound become it`s a slowly constructing sound. This approach at the start of the tune suit that gradual reminiscence flashbacks. The entire concept of my establishing scene become flashbacks from the abusive beyond to the existing instances.   My establishing scene is extra just like the scenes in euphoria while the voice-over is monotone. I did studies on how euphoria's voice affected the show. According to a producer, "As with the thought of the show, it`s, 'Let`s smash all of the guidelines we can.' Because it feels just like the manner that we eat stories, or the manner that we comply with narratives, at this precise factor in time is haphazard and meta... It felt like breaking down conventional narratives become the precise manner to info...

Today was the final editing day for my final opening scene. I have lined up my clips in the order that I want them. In the scene, I needed to set up a camera and then used my mother's phone as a decoy or prop phone. I had to capture the name displayed on the phone, so I renamed the contact to "Unknown". Next, I called my mom's phone from my phone and took a top view of the phone at the counter. In the next scene, I mainly wore loungewear and went into the kitchen. I picked up my cell phone like any other phone, wearing only a hoodie and track pants that capture this side. My next job was to take a shot of myself walking up the stairs.   This proved a challenge because of the angle when you climb and my stairs are surrounded by two walls. Yes, the next thing to do on the farm is to record outside the house. This includes track shots and boat shots this morning. This is difficult because not everyone is on the scene and you have to shoot in other ways. Bringing my image...

A person's mental state plays an important role in their job. My job as producer of this opening scene requires me to put myself and my mental health first. The stress on students right now is high. Currently at my school with the upcoming FSA, AICE, and finals has all teachers piling homework on students to prepare them for the exams. My mental health has been decreasing recently by causing me to have writing blocks and creative blocks that are required to film. Quarter three was a difficult time and during the winter break, I was not given the time to relax and fully give my brain a break. According to an article, I read," Tests give students anxiety which can worsen their performances. Many colleges and universities rely on testing when they’re going through applications. With so much riding on these tests and so much pressure put on students, it shouldn’t be surprising that their work isn’t always their best. Students who have more responsibilities outside of school, are i...

As the title states, there has been a change of plans in terms of the product of my final task.  I will have to cut the total amount of script to a minimum.  I have changed my aspect of what I want to create and I am leaning more towards a euphoria aspect. In euphoria contains flashbacks with a monotone voiceover. According to an article written about the producer's opinion of the show, " The look and feel of the show are as superheated as adolescence itself. The colors are bold, the score and needle-drop songs are loud, and the camera rarely sits still when it can glide, swoop whip-pan, or spiral. Every episode starts with a speedy prologue outlining the backstory of a recurring character shot, cut, and scored like a “previously on” recap of someone’s life. (Levinson wrote all eight episodes in the first season and directed five.) The medium-size town in which the tale is set was mainly built from scratch, the better to allow for expressionistic lighting and acrobatic vi...
