If we were to make an entire movie out of this project in my mind I image the rest being a mystery which you will understand more as you read our blogs. Since this is the opening of a movie its the being and the rest would be like a trying to find her mother. Mystery makes the most sense because the girl is curious on how her mother is alive.

really   One angle we thought of was Horror! • Common camera angles used in horror videos/movies would be high-angles often used to make characters appear vulnerable, low-angle to make characters look more dominant (often the bad one), Dutch angles are also used to create a sense of imbalance and close-ups are used to show fear on someone’s eyes or show a curvature smile. • Common mis-en-scene in horror films are a dark setting in a rural location away from everyone, props often used are weapons such as knives, axes and chainsaws that would create a painful death, Black, red, grey and brown would all be colours considered for a horror film as they all signify danger and tragedy, most people (mainly victims) in horror films look like the are dressed casually but a lot of effort is put into their outfits to show hints of their role and personality in the movie, the weaker characters in the frame are the ones who are opposite the camera on the floor showing how positioning affects

One genre we thought of was a mystery. Common camera angles used in a mystery video would be close ups to show the facial expression of the actors, extreme close ups to emphasize the thing shown like a prop, over the shoulder shot to give a dark feeling and POV shot may be used to give another perspective of what the actor is seeing.

Pitch A: A girl who is still receives a call from her mother who she thought was dead. Pitch B: A group of teens go on a cruise for spring-break but once they leave the port they realize its not a normal cruise and they have to try and survive for a week.  Discuss Pitch A: I would like to make this film because it would be the most convenient. We have access to the destination for free. Not only do we have access to the destination but everything is free, we don't have to pay for props or anything which is the best case scenario. We have enough actors and don't need to ask anyone to be in it. Not only is the circumstance good but it think this one would be very exciting to film. Discuss Pitch B: This pitch is definitely my second choice. It seems like a very interesting idea but we have several limitations in making it. For one, we can't really get to a cruise or a port to film. Another thing is, we aren't fond of the idea of being in the ocean. Overall, this is definit

 Hey blog, it's me Jenna. Welcome back here to tell you my lovely group mates and my ideas or at least my song because we are not all that planned out yet. So let's start with my lovely group-mates Mia and Zoe. All of us are hardworking and reliable, which is a good character trait if you are doing a project that has deadlines and stuff. Mia, who will be editing and in the film, is very creative, and even though we just started, she already has so many ideas. Which is really good for me because I'm stumped in thinking of ideas. Next, we have Zoe, who is a great actor, has some really amazing ideas, and is also good at editing, so she is a really good partner. Once again, this is good for me because their ideas combined are perfection and will probably turn out amazing.  And lastly, me, who is your world-famous videographer together we are the perfect film group.  Now, I can't tell you what our story is going to be yet, but just know it's going to be a good one, and

  Hey blog it's me, Jenna, welcome back here to tell you a little something about myself that you most definitely don't know because we're strangers. First off, my name is Jenna Antonelli, but you can call me Jenna.  I'm in my junior year of high school, which is very stressful so far, and I am not a fan. But if any year matters, it's this year, so it's crunch time friends. But here's the thing i don't really have any hobbies but something i love to do is hangout with my friends a lot. Almost every single day, me and my friends go out to eat after school and then maybe go to the park. It differs depending on the day. When I'm not doing that, I'm most likely sleeping or doing homework because I have a lot of homework. But this year my junior year is my time to shine i'm going to get good grades and set myself up for college. I'm actually so excited for this class because it seems cool. Learning about making videos can help me in my future
