Framing

Storyboard
Here is our storyboard, it isn't complete, but it gave us an idea of what to add/substitute.
In class today, we were told to have group meetings with our assigned group and group members. We had to help each other out by giving each of our group members ideas for our film opening. Our group members, Fatima, Julian, Me, Clemence, and Noah. Fatima- Drama, Me and Julian - Horror/Drama, and Noah will be doing horror/thriller.
Fatima, who's doing drama, is playing a depressed girl during the summer. She is super lonely and has suicidal thoughts. Clemence, psychological drama, is playing a person that's in a toxic relationship. The opening scene will show the abuse in the relationship. Then it will cut to the protagonist walking through the party and seeing her partner. When she sees him there will be flashbacks and then it will come back to the party and they will hug each other . All sets up the drama and context for the rest of the plot. Noah, who is doing horror/thriller, doesn't seem to have the plot decided yet. Me and Julian are doing maybe a thriller of an innocent person put to the death row has one last chance to clear their name, or a horror of some video game coming to life.
Overall, I think this group meeting was a good way of understanding/sharing each other's ideas. While we didn't have ideas yet, the group meeting helped us brainstorm different ideas, discuss and eventually come up with one. I look forward to having more group meetings in this class.

Before we start filming/editing anything, we have created a schedule for ourselves below.
Let's start with breaking down this assignment into it's major components.
Casino Royale 2006
This is a great example of using animation and graphics to create a really stylish and exciting credit sequence. It consists of a series of playing cards, guns, and other spy-related imagery set to a driving soundtrack. The opening credit sequence is available on YouTube
This opening is a great example of how to use slow motion and historical imagery to create a dramatic and thought-provoking credit sequence. It features a series of iconic images from American history, all set to a haunting soundtrack. You can find the opening credit sequence on YouTube.
Drive (2011)
We are now into week 2 of our portfolio project!! We are going to be filming a drama thriller opening. Here are three film openings we have researched on based on the same genre, which are great examples of our genre drama thriller:
This opening is a solid example of using dialogue to create conflict. It begins with a conversation between Mark and Erica. It is full of sexual tension.
