Hey guys! It's finally here! The final opening sequence is completed! I'm so excited for you all to see the product of all my hard work. I'm so happy with how it came out and I hope you all enjoy!
The next film I decided to look at was The Vision. The film starts off with very dark lighting, much darker than the previous film I viewed. The warm saturation in combination with lighting adds a suspenseful feeling that is very typical of mystery films. The close ups of different objects in the room builds anticipation for the viewer. It makes me sit on the edge of my seat to see where the story will go. Just like the other film, The Vision utilizes closer shots to develop the mystery of plot. Another big mystery aspect that is found in this film is its use of sound. Early on, there is a combination of ambient sounds and eerie music that combine to further keep me on my toes. In fact, the lighting sounds even caught me off guard and slightly frightened me. After being introduced to the first setting, a bedroom, and seemingly the main protagonist, the use of dialogue and props furthers the uncanny yet curious feeling in the viewer. The distresse...
Pitch A: Jack lives a happy life, but his persistent migraines and flashbacks leads him to realize he's been in a coma from a drunk driving accident. Pitch B: Alex, who thought his life was a perfect fairytale, realizes that a single song has allowed him to escape the reality of his abusive household. The first pitch interested us because we thought the idea would be fun to execute and that it would creatively challenge us. To create this film we would have to find a way to incorporate complicated scenes, like a car crash, with the limited resources we have available to us.

This yielded successful results and we were all confident that we could make this film come to life. Another reason we liked this pitch was because we knew we could have a cohesive beginning, middle, and end that told an...
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! In this blog, I am going to look at the mystery short film titled, “The Last Note”. I will be researching by looking at the conventions of the mystery genre across this short mystery movie to maybe help me use those conventions in my short film. So, let’s begin! Immediately when the movie begins the first thing I notice is the music used. The music used in this film was very dark and suspenseful and it stayed at a constant speed the entire time. I also noticed the lighting as well. The lighting was very dark, and it looked like a filter was applied in the editing process. I see that the music is playing through the whole beginning portion of the movie. I see lots of different camera editing done. I see lots of cross cutting between scenes as the talking is happening like when there is a flashback. I notice that when it does cross cutting to those flashbacks the lighting is even more dark than thro...
