Final Production

This is the final result of our final opening, enjoy!

Storyboard

My Storyboard 

My group used the software storyboard.that to accomplish the storyboard. We thoroughly played out the shots that we would film when the time came and what characters/objects would be involved. The setting was also incorporated into what we visualize for this opening. It was fairly easy to use this, compared to drawing it out or pasting real life characters into a photo frame.

For example, the first four shots were mapped out and the change of setting was clearly stated, so then actors can know what to do at what certain area.

Production process (stage 4)

 Filming week 1: 

• We started filming outside of the classroom, on a iPhone and regular lighting from the hallway. We didn't have much of a clear view of what we wanted to do but we were tryin our best to go off of the script. We only filmed inside the hallway for that week and not much progress was made

Filming week 2-3: 

• We did some work around the school, in Mr. Firidel's greenscreen room and in the 220 hallway. Even though we used a lot of the time we were filming, there was something wrong that we noticed. Our opening wasn't looking too well with a greenscreen, so we chose to trash all those clips and film them at an actual office, instead of editing one in space.
• We found out this information from editing our opening for submission and seeing that we did film in portrait mode which we were not supposed to, so that was another reason to refilm our shots. 

Filming week 4-5:

• The first time we filmed, we filmed perfectly and everything went well. However, the actors wore copyrighted clothes and that was a big problem for us, becuase of the issues that wouldve came sfter that. So,                         

Stage 3 : Preproduction

                                                      Filming process

Location

Our film will be shot in the classroom or mrs.landis, the office of coconut creek high, outside of the school, and an office setting(masked by police department). Since we are most likely not allowed inside of a station for filming, we will use hallways in a regular shot then use a green screen to give it the effect that we are really there. A green screen allows film production to remain within a sound stage but depict disparate locations and sequences.

A week after these decisions were made, we began filming and made the collective choice to film outside of school in a proper atmosphere. This was better for editing and the overall look of our opening.

Actors

Destiny will act as Detective Johnson, Shyla will act as Serena, and I will act as Dalia. We need to consider the schedules of each other , for example, we had top think about if Elijah will be able to make it because of his football practices. However, the rest of my group we be able to make it and film, so we will be fine. We also have all of our dialogue planned out to split evenly between all of us and know the placement of the settings at different times. We are also considering the following when trying to plan out our moves on the film opening: the script , the genre/purpose , the looks of out story board, and what we would like it to visually look like.

Filming ideas

Since we are filming for a police station/ interrogation room, that's where all the action takes place. Howvere, in the flashback scene( in characters thoughts) will be going to be in a high school.
