Beginning to Film

 Today the group began to film. To do this, a group member's house was used. We were under time pressure and filmed all we could. Although we had to refilm a few scenes, we got everything we wanted to get done. These were all the indoor shots. The group took a short break after they were completed. while reviewing to make sure all film was acceptable, and it turned out some wasn't. There were two scenes with issues. One had lighting issues that proved difficult to fix and made it unusable. It had to be completely scrapped and redone so that the end result would be decent. In the case of the other scene, the acting itself was unsatisfactory. It almost passed as a comedy. The majority of scenes filmed today were in response to other scenes or only a few seconds long. As a result, filming was done out of order. Setup time was also much greater than time spent with the camera rolling. At the end of the day, scenes 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, and 30 were complete. This leaves all those planned to be filmed at Easterlin Park. Filming outside will probably be even more difficult. The group would be dependent on the weather to permit the use of cameras and sunshine for lighting. Despite this, we're confident in our abilities.

Introducing Myself

 Hello, my name is Kaden. This year I'm a junior in high school. I decided to take this course for its uniqueness. No other course I know of has students film or study media. I also heard positive things from friends who took it previously. I enjoy playing video games and Dungeons and Dragons. My favorite movie is The Guardians of the Galaxy, because it balances comedy, action and entertainment. I would consider myself introverted, but I'm still excited to take this course. I've always been interested in how movies are made, so I took the opportunity presented here. A photo of me is below.

Our Movie's Title Design

Image
  My group has decided to avoid using any more than two or three fonts. The use of various fonts such as this would become a problem . The relative simplicity of only a few fonts is designed to avoid overloading the viewer’s eyes and the title growing too crowded and active. We also have to be mindful of color contrast, avoiding the titles blending in with the background at the moments they are shown. A bad contrast would look like this , seeing as a viewer can barely see the text against the white background. We must also be mindful of our font color depending on the background at the exact moment- a black color would work well on a white background, but not as well on a darker one. As a working idea, the main font will be reminiscent of a computer’s code text (in a technological sense) and the majority of titles will come off of a computer screen whenever the screen is shown. The main title will be in a markedly larger font than the rest of the titles and will be located at the bo

Title Design Research: Sci-Fi: Code 8

  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are a total of 29 titles displayed during the opening sequences of Code 8, including individual acting credits and individual personal titles. The first title displayed is the name of the studio, followed by associated studios, the production company’s credit, various acting credits, the credits of the casting directors, and the visual effects supervisor. After this comes the credit for the creator of the music, the costume designer, the editor, the production designer, the director of photography, the co-producer and associate producers, various executive producers, the lead producer, the creators of the story and screenplay, the director, and finally, the movie title. What connotations do the images carry? The images shown are meant to show the descent from hopefulness regarding the future to a militaristic dystopia as a result of the earlier hope. The early images are filled with idealistic i
