Today, I had another group meeting with a completely different group. The group members were Julian, Adriana, Fabi, and Gabriel. Each of them had great insight and some interesting film openings.
First is Julian who is in a duo and has a film opening that is going to be based off of the video game Hello Neighbor. For those who do not know what Hello Neighbor is it is a video game where you must go into your neighbor's house and take things without the neighbor touching you and if he does you die. He said that he has filmed most of it, but still has one more scene left and has also started editing. However, he does not have a title for the film opening yet. Since he does not have a title, we started to come up with ideas. First, we thought of going simple and calling it Escape or the Maze, but we scratched off the maze since that’s not what the movies are about. Then Fabi suggested that he call it game over since it is related to video games. Julian appreciated the ideas, but I’m not sure if he ended up using one of the titles that we gave him.
Next is Gabriel who is in a group of people who are doing a film opening about a kid who is really bad at basketball, but he wants to be as great as his brother is. Their film is more of a comedy/satire film. I think I know where they came up with the idea of the project, especially because they named it after a type of basketball shot that is achieved when failing. He said that his film opening is called Airball. He did not explain much about his project, but he did explain that he would be using CapCut to edit his project. When he said this, I brought up the fact that I used Premiere Pro and that I feel that CapCut is a bit hard to use on the computer. I suggested for them to use Premier Pro but they said that they are not experienced with it so they want to try to use something that they have used in the past.
Fabi is in a group and is doing a film opening named Dear Diary, which is about a girl who has suicidal thoughts. She said that she wants to focus mainly on how depressed the character is. There are editing techniques that she wants to implement to make it look like that. She has found most of her project, but she had a few setbacks since she filmed all of her project, but had to redo it since a lot of the shots looked rushed. She also said that she will be using CapCut for her editing.
Lastly, is Adriana who is a duo and has a film opening named Turbulence about a girl who is in an abusive relationship. She has not started to film yet, but she has talked about how her film is going to be and that she has tried to film a few times before now. She has not gotten to film yet, but she already knows how she is going to do her CCR. She wants to do an interview with a teacher as the CCR.
Overall, each one of my hours has very interesting and very promising ideas for film openings and I cannot wait to see them. But one of the many good things that this group meeting brought was that they reminded me about the film's opening credits and the length of the video. I forgot that I had to have credit in my film opening and that the video how to be two minutes exactly. Once I found this out, I had to start coming up with ideas on how I would put my credits. My group members suggested that I put it at the beginning and that I put it during important clips or on a clip before the action starts. From those suggestions, I came up with the credit sequence that I can do which is to put it after my production title and have either photos relating to the film or a visualizer in the background and the text of the credits up front.
