Filming Blog: Planning for first recording session

 On Febuary 10, friday I was planning for the recording I was going to do with my mom during the night. This recording was for my opening sequence of my thriller movie. I already had my storyboard completed before planning to record the first few scenes of the opening sequence. I planned on using it as a guide for what I was going to record. I was planning in my head how I would schedule the different things I have to do throughout the day. 

Once Saturday started I was dreading to record the first third of my recording, because I thought I'd look bad. To be honest I was worrying about this all week til Friday. On Friday Feb 9, I was thinking about recording the opening sequence the next day after work with my mom at night. I would've asked my brother but he has other things to do. After planning when on Saturday I was going to record I, needed to figure out what clothes/costumes I would wear.

For Saturday night, while recording the I decided the main character would wear a orange shirt and blue jeans. This would have been what the main character would be wearing when filming, in other words what I would wear. I also had to decide what props I wanted to add to my opening sequence. So far on Saturday I only decided to use a flashlight for that night of recording. I didn't decide to use other props because the first six clips didn't require them. 

On Saturday, I already planned for the clips to take place at night because my opening sequence takes place at night. I did kind of regret not picking a different genre to make an opening sequence about though. Picking a different Genre would have probably allowed for my recording schedule to be more flexible. Although, I chose this genre, which made recording difficult I decided this is just a project I need to finish. Finishing this project with every part of it finished is my goal for this project.

If i can't record with my phone I'll ask my mom to borrow hers, 3. If some of my clothing is in the wash when I need to record, either find something different to wear for the video, or wait till the laundry is finished, 4. If I cannot record on certain days then I'll try to record before hand, but if necessary I'll reco...

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

 I am researching this website because it has many different choices for opening sequences to research for good titles. This website is also good to research video games and tv shows. This website also shows different creators of films on the website. It has a tab for studios that create these films as well that lists them from A-z in alphabetical order. There is also a search tab on the top of the website to help users find what they're searching for.  This website also shows student projects, for example the dark knight rises, Sirens of titan and Motherless Brooklyn. This website also shows feature film titles like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. some exaples of video games on this website include:Gods of war and killzone. Overall this website has a lot of options for me to go through when looking for title examples. There should be plenty of examples to choose from for this title research and base my opening sequence off of.

Filming Blog: first Recording session

 I decided to start recording some scenes after I got off from work, which was at night. I chose night time to record because I thought it fit better with the genre of my film. After work once I got home, I started to prepare to record by getting my costume and props ready. I dressed In an orange shirt and blue jeans for the main character I would be portraying for the first few scenes. The prop that I used was a flashlight because of most of the scenes happening at night.  On the night of Saturday, feb 10 I got my mom to help me set up for filming. I got my clothes and my prop ready to record, but some problems arose when filming. Me and my mom had a little bit of communication issues. For example, when she was filming me,  and I asked her to film an over the shoulder shot and when we filmed it it didn't look right the first time. So after this, we re-recorded that scene a few more times because in the first take my mom recorded too much of my shoulder. The next few time...
