Storyboarding!

 Here is the storyboard for my final task. I am not the best artist, however I hope you get the general idea.

Laura opens the curtains, a night sky is shown outside the window and the title of the movie shows across the window pane. Opening sequence fades to black.

Laura grabs the curtains covering the window despite the broadcast telling her not to.

Laura stands up and begins walking to the window.

Laura is now showing signs of anxiousness like bouncing her leg around.

Laura sits up this time while her phone is still relaying strange messages about the moon.

Laura is trying to ignore her phone blowing up with messages and attempts to fall asleep.

Laura is now walking into her room.

Laura begins walking down the hallway back to her bedroom.

Lara gets freaked out and deletes the conversation from her phone.

Laura opens a conversation with her best friend and starts receiving strange messages from her.

Phone shows some time has passed, female character’s name is revealed to be Laura. She is now receiving more messages about the moon.

Television broadcast continues playing aloud while relaying an emergency message 

Character is now sitting on couch as she receives many notifications once again.

Television in living room displays emergency broadcast

Character walks out of bed

Character gets up out of bed

Character is scrolling through all of these messages as she is still waking up

Phone reads 3:33am and is receiving many texts about the moon.

Character grabs phone as it fills up with new messages

Character is still searching for phone in the dark room

Character reaches for phone 

Phone buzzes and lights up as it receives a notification

Title Planning

 Working Title: 

"The View From Halfway Down"

Font options: 

The View From Halfway Down (Montserrat)

The View From Halfway Down (Playfair Display)

The View From Halfway Down (Bebas Neue)

Title Entrance and Exit: 

I plan on the title entering as soon as the main character, Laura, opens her blinds. I want the blinds to slowly reveal the title. The exit will be when the screen quickly fades to black after Laura opens the blinds to view the moon. 

Contrast: 

The color will most likely be white so it will not fade into the background of the night sky, and be bold and visible. I want the size to be large enough to nearly fill up the window so it stands out and is easy for the audience to read.

Schedule

2/01/24 - 2/05/24 Filming will finally start to begin. I will film all of the shots within my own home. I will also record the voice -overs, which occur in the scene when there is a news broadcast on the television (Scene 2)

2/07/24 - 2/09/24 I will finish filming. This entails filming the scenes where Laura receives many messages about the moon. (Scene 1, 2 and 3)

 2/21/24 - 3/17/24  Editing will start immediately. From the scenes that I have filmed, I will be uploading these to Cap cut in order to piece the film together.

Location

I will film the scenes within my own home, considering the script does not require filming in any other location for the movie to flow nicely.

Health and Safety: 

My family has volunteered to be a "safety team" to ensure my safety while filming, however none of the scenes in my movie truly require any close supervision, as I am not using any sharp items, weapons, nor will I be exposed to any danger.

Title Research: Device 6

  1. First, they list the film's director, then the producer, the art and sound director, the film writer, the logo designer, the music director, and lastly, a grand main title.

2. This opening sequence features images of mysterious buildings and trucks, doorways, and spooky baby dolls. 

3. The music in this opening sequence is exactly what you imagine when you think of mystery movies or films it really lays out the vision of a mystery film.

Title Research - The Exorcist

 1. "A William Friedkin Film" is the first words in this opening sequence, referring to the director of films. After stating that the the primary title is displayed followed by the location of where the movie is being filmed.

2.The place where the film is being shot is highly prioritized in this opening sequence, it displays what appears to be potential movie scenes.

3. It doesn't give any context no one is talking or saying anything so its leaves the audience in suspense.

Title Research: In a Valley of Violence

  1. The main title of the movie comes first, followed by the names of every actor in it, the casting director, the source of the music, the sound design, the production design, the costume design, the director of photography, the line producer, the co-executive producers, the executive producers, the main producers, the main writer, the editor, and the director.

2. The opening scene features a lot of pictures with a strong rodeo and country theme, like horses, cowboys, cacti, cow prints, and lassos.

3. The opening sequence doesn't really give us the whole picture; it mostly consists of outlines from which you may infer a theme, leaving the audience in suspense about what will happen next.

Title Research - Watch the Titles Website

  Welcome back here to tell you which website I chose for this project. Now the moment you have all been waiting for, we chose the website www.artofthetitle.com. After I examined this website and another one I came to the conclusion that art of the title was the easiest to navigate. I instantly went in and searched up exactly what we need to complete future tasks and it all popped up. In the top right corner of the home page there is a search bar where it typed in exactly what I needed. I typed in my genre and multiple options that I could research popped up. On the the other website I typed in the search bar my genre and nothing popped up. So maybe I have to reconsider my wording for the question, however, on the other website it popped up instantly which makes it easier in my opinion. I hope you enjoyed it, and this is my

group signing out. See you next time on the blog.
