My Movie planning - First ideas on Movie Names

Dear Readers,

Since my Genre is a thriller i fell it is best i pick a name that corresponds with all the thriller types,
Here is a presentation of my research... (was done on slideshare)

Movie Names from Lizzy Marshall

The Name is important because it's the thing that will catch the readers attention and stick in their brain, until they see it. Even after they will remember the name to promote to movies to others.

Until next time chums...bye!

My Movie planning - Moodboard

Dear Readers,

For my 2 minute movie, now i know my plot better, i've made a moodboard symbolising the inspiration and vision i have for my movie.

To run through the photos:

Top

Left = the scary jack in the box

Middle = the jack in the box isolated on the floor

Right = a girl home along / babysitting

Middle

Left = The blacked figure 

Middle = silhouette figure in the house

Right = The jack in the box

Bottom

Left = The over the shoulder look

Middle = The child playing with the jack

Right = Babysitting job

I chose these photos as some have my vision of my shots e.g. Top, Middle and Bottom, Left but some photo just have an inspiration for characters e.g. Top, Left and Bottom, Right. The other photo are just clarification of plot/ story/ ideas for the placement. 

So until next time... bye!

My Movie planning - Storyline

Dear Readers,

My own research into my storyline stems from the General Genre Research i did before.

The use of 'Scream' is the main inspiration for my piece as it's about the vulnerable young girl and a creepy unknown figure.

My storyline has changed quite a bit:

Movie Maker Skills - Film to Music/ using the templates

Dear Readers,

More skills i've learnt is applying transitions, music and photos all together. Here is a movie i produced of my holiday to Egypt:




I deliberately used a lot of features available to me on Movie Maker to get to know the software.
So i can maybe use some in 2 minute opening.

So until next time...bye!

Movie Maker Skills - Green/blue screen

Dear Readers,

Another skill i've learn't to do is how to use a green screen. This was pretty simple and i wish i knew how to do it earlier in life. Although it came out well, i don't think i will use it on my movie, just because i don't have a screen which i need a background that can't be achieved in real life.  I did have a lot of fun doing this but this skill probably won't come in handy in my 2 minute movie.

Although this is how you do it:

 Load iMovie,
Then download the photo for the green screen.
then place the clip on top of a photo.
 Then you choose the Green/Blue screen drop down option and the background should change.


This was the finished product:



Obviously we were only messing around and the quality is not great due to the laughing in the clip but i did try to match the music to our dance moves.

so until next time, peace out... bye!

Movie Maker Skills - Side by side

Dear Readers,

Another post of mine called "audience expectations" has this effect in the interview film as i filmed that at a later date to when i wrote the post but i finally learnt how to do side by side and the green screen effect. 

Here is my attempt:

The side by side is obvious, but the wording don't quite match us and they don't actually say the same words but it gives you and me the idea.

so until next time...bye!

Movie Maker Skills - Hologram Effect

Dear Readers,

Thanks my friend Jessie and the internet i was able to work out how to complete a hologram effect on MAC Movie maker. This is a big achievement for me because it the first complex skill i've learn. I used the clip from the BBC when i did the news, and added a 'picture on a picture' plus then music...


First i had to download a screen recorder, which when turned on made the screen look like this:

1. The yellow box is the screen which is being recorded, then the control panel at the bottom start, stop and time it.

2. Then I overlap the filmed screen in Movie Maker ontop of other clip and change it to picture on a picture.










Finally here is my first attempt:

This is a rough first attempt, I like the overlap of 2 screens, however i want to learn how to make it invisible, and in different effect... However in time!

So until next time community...bye!
