Moodboard For Opening Sequence

-

 



Today, we were instructed to create a mood board about our opening sequence and explain our reasoning behind the pictures we chose. So without further ado, let's get started!  

In this moodboard, I am trying to capture a bit of a confused, mysterious mood. This is because I wanted to add pictures of things that would be relevant to the opening scene. One example of this are the pills and the black/white picture of the man staring at himself in the mirror. It is meant to create some sort of connection while not outright giving out what the story is about. Another example is the dog bowls, they have no obvious connection with anything in the picture that can be made out by the audience, so it leaves a sense of mystery. Additionally, this mood helps to contribute to the genre of suspense that we're aiming towards with this film.

Peer Review (Opening Sequence)

“The Entity After Hours” https://youtu.be/uISgY-24Fkw My favorite thing about this opening sequence is the lighting while they sneak into the classroom. The red from the emergency exit sign created a suspenseful feeling. The Dutch angles made it feel like someone or something was watching them. The dark lighting was great as well, making the red signs pop out more and create a sort of dangerous atmosphere. This was also during the time they started talking about there being a ghost in the school, setting up the premise of the film. I wasn’t the biggest fan on the master shot towards the end though. I will say that the zoom-in they used made it a bit better and the ending itself was very good at making me wonder “well what happened?!” The diegetic sounds at the end really added to the overall sense of looming danger that was already present. I felt like the opening was understandable and wasn’t really confusing. I understood that the overall premise was kids sneaking into their school a...

10 camera shots/angles

I have completed the 10 camera shots/angles project.  #1 This video is a POV and high-angle as well which shows my perspective as I look down at my little siblings. #2 This is a wide shot that shows the how messy the house is and the kids' helping to clean up, although they're not very enthusiastic.  #3 This is an establishing shot that demonstrates the outside of my house (my neighborhood) . #4 This is a ground level shot that demonstrates the mess the kids made and them cleaning it up. It also creates a perspective that makes them look larger. #5 This is a full body shot of my little brother sleeping, he is deep asleep but also cold which is shown by the body language. #6 This is a Eye level shot of me turning on my Playstation 5, finally taking a break from my siblings. #7 This is a extreme close up shot of my little brother chewing a chip. #8 This is a two-shot as it shows my little brother teaching my sister how to play rock-paper-scissors. #9 This video is a low an...

Title Sequence

When creating our title sequence, the group wanted to make sure that the aspects of it aligned with the theme/premise of the movie and would fit in well. This is why we chose the simplistic, thin font for the actors names and the title of the movie. It worked well and we believed it added to the clinical and sort of sterileness that could be found inside a therapist's office.  The title itself is colored red as it is meant to demonstrate the possible danger in the protagonist and hints towards the main conflict of the movie, the "gaps" in her memories. This makes her an unreliable source and makes the audience warry of whatever she says/does. The title itself, "Mind the Gaps," is representative of the plot and weird glitches that are demonstrated within the movie. In terms of the production company, we made it up using parts of each others' names and distributor was just a silly nickname that a friend of ours made up for me.  The presentation of the text, ho...
