Hi blog! Today in class we did not have a lot of time to work on our film opening, so instead of having another brainstorming session that we would not be able to fully finished, we decided to discuss logistics. We decided that to make our film as professional as possible, we would borrow a high-quality video camera from Beacon TV. We have rented out camera equipment from them before and think that this is the best option to really make our opening great.
Although we are not certain we will stick with the idea we came up with in class the other day, we decided to use our limited time to discuss if the idea was practical from a filming standpoint. We thought we could use interesting shots and angles to make our film opening unique. We thought for the scene where the girl was burying the dead body, we could film the scene from below, as if from the point of view of the body being buried, with dirt being shoveled onto the camera and the girl in the background looking like a powerful figure from a low angle. We would also include an establishing shot of the woods, as well mid and long shot showing the girl burying the body.
When the girl is burying the body, we want few cuts and just her actions represented. However, as she runs through the woods, we were thinking of incorporating many swift cuts conveying motion that will hopefully represent the anxiety of the situation and the girl's feelings. At this point, we are not sure how we want to film the portion of the scene that includes flashbacks of how the girl ended up in the situation of burying a body. In our next team meeting, we will discuss this further.
