Final Project Idea

 What is the final idea for the project?  

Describe your final project in detail.  What is the genre you are focusing on?  What is the narrative (linear or non-linear) and storyline for your project?  What themes and representation will be showcased in your project? What are you excited about? Worried about?

The genre we are focusing is a horror romance genre. This will be a linear narrative focusing on the theme feminism and to not judge a book by its cover. It will be about a girl getting ready for a date with a guy with many jump-cuts but little does she know the guy is a serial killer. I am very excited to film this because I feel it will be very interesting and I have never attempted to do this genre. I am also worried that it may be difficult doing the lighting to match this genre to do a horror romance scene.

Movie Opener Brainstorm and Research

Title of Each 5 clips and Observations

1.  Rise- The kid is very good at playing soccer and while he is playing a man watches him. The man wants to tell the boy how skillful he is at playing and give him an opportunity to improve his skills.

2. Dear Lover- The girl has run away from home because her mom had discovered she had a girlfriend. Her mom and her had currently gone into a fight because of this and are keeping distance from each other.

3. Dare to Thrill- A group of teenagers were having fun and decided to take a car for a ride. When they were done they put the car keys back but discover a body in the truck of the vehicle.

4. Always Watching- A boy is talking to his therapist about problems he may have had in the past but in reality he is talking about his own shadow and what he has done in the past.

5. White coat- A man is kidnapped by a crazy scientist and is taking his blood to use for an experiment and is tied up to find a secret portal the crazy scientist is working on.

Summarize: This helps show me the many twist that could come from these short movie openings and all the edits and lighting techniques we can use.

Group Member and Brainstorm

I decided to be working in group with Isabella J, and Krystine E. I'm working with these group members because they are the people that I am closest with and they are both really creative and will help make the movie. We are thinking the theme may be a horror romance genre and are planning to use many different edits like jumpsuits to display this.
