story board

Image
  while making the story bored, the biggest thing that I change from the last one was the title card.I came up with the idea that a bird should fly through the title slowly transitioning it into to Eric looking through hid binoculars I though of this because of the movie spider man from 2002 where the webs come shooting at the screen leading to different kinds of transitions and created such a cool effect that when the first time I saw it I knew I had to do something like that. . As you can see we kept a lot the the scenes inside the house but we wanted to shorten them because it took way to much time so we decided to cut the digging of Eric putting in his shoes.

research on the thriller genre

Lucas and I have done lots of research on the thriller genre but we wanted to focus specifically on the wilderness thriller sub genre to explore how isolation contracts suspense, which we tried to implicate in our movie through my research we identify that narrative structure in wilderness thriller often, place, the protagonist in a remote setting which immediately disrupts the peacefulness and establishes vulnerability to the protagonist by removing access to technology, communication and external support, the scene becomes more confined in increasing tension, and encouraging the audience to experience a scene of entrapment alongside the character. one key convention I found is the use of mine en scene scene to portray nature as an antagonistic force elements such as low-key lighting, restricted visibility to strained color pallets and isolated framing reinforces, the protagonist vulnerability. The setting function is not merely as a backdrop, but as a narrative obstacle contributing ...

mood board

  While i was creating the story board my partner Lucas created the mood board. through each picture describes different scene and emotion we want to create during our movie.our main goal for this mood bored was to create a sense of mystery and horror that represents our movie elements. The photos on the far left side each respersent an elements we want to incorporate in our movie. The top left photo shows a binocular view of a dark and gloomy nighttime scene, which we want to show in our movie to emphasize the effect that Eric the bird watcher is kind of lost in these woods and it's getting dark and he won't be able to find his way back soon. In the bottom left photo is a movie called the Blair witch Project, which we took in a lot of elements from that movie and put it into our own movie like the first person point of views and the darkness of the woods. In the second row, these three images show objects we might use any emotions. We want the audience to show when watching ou...

week 1:reflection on midterm

Image
 Our ( lucca and lucas) midterm was a movie about a bird watcher who discovers a kidnapped person who has been lost for 3 years in the woods after he escaped his kidnapper. I had to research different features that we should incorporate in our movie introduction and i found that one of thee most important things we could implicate to really emphases the thriller genre is lighting. Lighting as a struggle though, because sense we were outside we couldn't get the lighting to cooperate really well and it was too bright outside to really show the darkness of the situation.i wanted the lighting to almost feel like the movie where the the woods Tuens darker maybe even more foggy like in this image below. I think to better replicate this effect we needed to shoot later in the day to capture what I think is a better suiting scenery.To elevate our movie I was thinking of implicating more wilderness aswell. i want for it to feel truly isolated and give that effect to the audience that no...

week 1 our movie

Our (lucca and Lucas) movie we worked on for our midterm was called the bird watcher .  It's  about a nerdy guy named Eric who goes to a huge natural park and on the trail signs he sees a missing person poster but  doesn't  think too much of it. He travels deep into the woods looking for new birds he  hasn't  seen before. On his search he finds multiple birds using his binoculars but then it starts to get later in the day and now there is no trail just a small dirt path. As he tries to find his way back but then he stumbles upon R ay  Capulto  the missing person he saw on the poster at the beginning of the park. Eric freaks out and starts stumbling back as he trips on a twig and gives out his location to the missing person freaking out Eric and scares him so much he runs away.
