In this shot, we tried to create lighting that seems mysterious to match our  plot. Here we have the hallway leading down to a darkness and a human figure standing in the middle.  In this shot, Donte is shown on the phone calling his other friends when they find the object that belongs to his friend who died there. He tried to look scared to create suspense.  In this last shot, Chris is taking a close up shot of the object left on the ground. Once we start filming the real opening, the object will be a bracelet.  This week did not have many issues, we just need to get the correct props once we finish our rough draft filming. My favorite shot to take was the hallway scene because it creates an eerie feeling for the audience. I am confident in how this opening is going to come together. 

In this picture, we were trying to make a shot looking like we were fleeing the mysterious scene.  In this picture, Donte, Chris, and Trent are standing around the object that has been mysteriously left where their friend had died.  Here shows Miranda tripping over an object acting like a booby trap, while Chris records a close-up of the scene. Donte directs the scene in the back.  Here Trent is recording Chris, trying to get a good angle.  In this last one, Chris is shown on the ground after falling while running away. Trent records while Donte takes pictures of the dramatic scene. The difficulties that we faced was coming up with a well planned booby trap and having enough people to record. So far out opening scene plot can work out well and I'm excited to continue filming! 

This week we are getting ready to start filming. We talked together about the following elements:  actors,  Trent, Donte, and Chris costumes,  The costumes we plan on wearing is our normal clothes but if may come down a special costume set for the antagonist. props,  The props we plan to use is our cell phones and a bloody ring. locations,  The location will be at school. dates and tim es,  The date and time we plan to record may be throughout the next two weeks in first period. scripts, We have yet to write an actual script, but we do have a story board.  and film equipment.  We plan on using the school equipment to record and computers to edit .

Although I was absent while my group constructed the storyboard and had a group discussion, this storyboard represents our film opening that we will be forming as a group. We decided to form a film opening that could later be transformed into an entire movie based off of the action genre with aspects of the mystery genre as well. The plot of this opening is similar to the film "Until Dawn". The characters in this opening are constantly running or doing something to keep the audience engaged. As you can see in the storyboard it is an action film, but we will work to incorporate mystery in the opening as well.
