Opening credits

At the beginning of a film, you have your opening credits in which you have presented the main characters, crewmate, producers, and more.



    As you can see in the Game of Thrones opening credits above, the credits are presented thru camera shots and angles. But the real question is what is the actual purpose of an opening credit? 

Opening credits allow for the audience to know who is staring in the movie and who is responsible for different elements that make up the movie. Those included in the opening credits may include but not limited to:  studio/ or distribution company, the production company, directors name film, the actual characters, the title, the top cast, supporting cast, casting director, music composer, production designer, art director, set design, costume designer, hair/ make up artist, sound recording, visual effects supervisor, editor, director of photography, and executive producer.

Introduction to final project

  I n class, we reviewed a couple of film intros and focused on cinematography, mise-en-scene, and convections. We went over a film called "The Girl in the Spider's web" in a youtube video called " How an Opening Scene Tells the Whole Story ", which is a director's commentary. A director's commentary is when a director explains the use of lighting, shots, dialogue, mise-en-scene, and editing and how it contributes to the overall film. We discussed and went over other blogs from other students and reviewed how to write our blogs and what they should contain. I was still perplexed, so I went over 2 other students' blogs for a better understanding. I'm still confused at this point but I'll just have to pull through and do as much as possible.     My group decided that we may do a mysterious movie. Mainly because we can use a lot of different lighting, camera shots, and angles that can add a lot of suspense to our movie. As of right now though we...

decisions on sound, sound effects, lighting, etc. to be used in production

  Okay so for sound and sound effects we were thinking of doing dialogue and using microphones. There wouldn't be any sound effects, tho there will be background music. For lighting, we may use a ring light tho it won't be very required because we will be working in the evening when it's dark but not to the point where it pitch dark so around 6-7:45 pm. I don't have much to write for this blog post but that's my basic decisions on sound, sound effects, lighting, etc.

Send your location

      So this is the beginning of getting everything we need for the schedule. First, we have location and scouting process and decisions. Nae and I have decided on doing the film at a corner store that's in an urban neighborhood. From this location, we move onto the sidewalk then to the park which the scene ends there.  The way we want the opening scene to go is all the girls' walk out the corner laughing with their drinks and snacks and the little sister gets concerned about somebody following/watching them, to which she then goes missing and the scene ends with the girls calling the police.
