Planning for the Final Task: Story Board

 Hey guys, for this blog I'll be going over my storyboard for my opening sequence. I'll describe what's going on in this blog in case the words aren't legible. 

First Page:

The first page shows a man getting ready, putting on his shirt. The scene switches to the man tying his shoes and then again to him grabbing a necklace. Everything up to this point is in black and white, when the man reaches for the fedora color comes to the screen as he puts it on. It shows a downwards tilt of The Mans face as he places it on his head. The scene then shows him in front of a stair case which he begins to climb.


Second Page:

The second page shows The Man outside the door opening it and taking a step inside a house, the scene switches to a close up of the first foot inside the house. It switches again with no transition to the man walking down a hallway to a door. This is shot in a hand-held over-the-shoulder dolly shot. The scene then shows the man reaching his hand towards a boy sleeping and the boy turning to his other side. It shows a close-up of his face, and then a jump cut to Dave getting ready, brushing his teeth and taking a shower.



Third Page:
In the third page Leo starts to grab ingredients to cook breakfast. This takes place as Dave is showering. The scene shows a point of view shot of Leo cracking eggs. It then shows the frying pan its on as its cooking. Music starts to rise as Leo dances as he cooks and the scene switches to another point of view shot as he's grabbing plates from the cabinets. The scene switches to him placing the eggs on a plate with the rest of the food.

Fourth Page:

The fourth page starts with showing an outside view of  Dave showering and exiting the bathroom with a towel on his head drying his hair. The camera moves to Leo cracking an egg into a frying pan and then a high angle of the egg cooking. It jump cuts again to the two boys now eating their breakfast and talking. It shows a shot/reverse shot between Dave and Leo when they start talking.

Fifth Page:

The fifth page starts with Dave grabbing his keys and exiting out the door to begin his morning jog. It shows him stretching and getting ready to go. It switches to a low angle with The Man in the frame watching Dave as he exits his door. Dave notices this, but a car passes by and The Man disappears. Dave shrugs in confusion and begins to jog. 

Sixth Page:

In the sixth page Dave begins to go on his route and The Man is seen following him while Dave doesn't realize. The opening sequences titles begin to play while a pan of Dave jogging is shown. There is also a reverse zoom of Dave jogging and the actors titles begin to show on screen. The scene switches to the footsteps of Dave and the music title shows on screen.

Seventh Page:

The last page shows the train tracks and Dave slowly jogging into the frame as the camera pans along the tracks. The producers title, story, and writers titles play on the screen. The scene now shows the man once again at a low angle with The Man's hand by his side and Dave by the tracks jogging. The Man taps his hand on his leg and Dave slows down. Dave comes to a stop and checks his phone. As he does this The Man approaches Dave and reaches for his shoulder. Dave turns around suddenly and the scene cuts to black. The films title "THE MAN" fades into and out of the screen and the final words seen are "Directed By Angel Noriega."

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Planning for the next shoot

 Hey guys, so not much has changed since the last blog. My friend still has COVID and I don't see a time that we'll be able to film the final scenes yet. Fortunately he has gotten better but as far as safety is concerned I don't see a possibility for filming. My new plan for now is to begin editing. Since I filmed the scenes in chronological order I can begin preparing the first cut of the film. This will allow me to see if there are any scenes which may need to be reshot or if I'm missing any scenes that need to be filmed. At first my editing plan was to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I have for my previous projects, but the computer I was using can't handle the program and started malfunctioning. Right now the deadline is nearing and I've been stopped in my tracks due to my friend getting infected. I plan on doing one of two things in order to go around these problems of mine. First plan is to get through filming even with my actor being infected. To do that I will...
