The Shattered Picture 

Portfolio Project: Post - Production - CCR Filming

     I have finally chosen exactly what I want my second Creative Critical Reflection is going to be having finished the PowerPoint creation. I have decided that I want to do a podcast episode as well which I believe will be very interesting to create. I originally wanted to have my mom be the voice of the podcast host as she has experience in communication with her being a journalist with a minor in media studies; however, she was recently sick and happened to lose her voice so she could not perform as my host. Nevertheless, I used a voice generator a my brothers are not comfortable with anything of the sort. 

    With my PowerPoint complete I just need to record my voiceover and the podcast audio which I will complete tomorrow. I am so proud of what I will be turning in and I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity and for support and help of my hardworking partner, Isabella, whom I couldn't have done this project without. 

Portfolio Project: Post - Production - Title & Fonts

     My project partner and I are in the editing process, and we have been taking the time to finalize the title of our production and the fonts of the writing that will appear in our opening as well as what our credits are going to look like. We decided that to fit the essence of our film, we wanted to use the Vogue font for all the words that will appear on screen during the duration of our film opening. We knew that we needed to come up with a title as well as a production company and film company. We wanted to add this to make our film opening more realistic. 

    We wanted a title that related well to our film opening topic, which led us to the title The Shattered Picture which I thought of from the movie Shattered Glass. We felt that this related well to our product and was exactly what we were going for. To create the names for the companies that would get credits in the beginning, we went online and searched for possible names that we could use that have not been used before for real film companies.

Portfolio Project: Production - Filming

     On March 25th my partner and I were able complete all of our shooting and begin the editing process in order to finish our project as soon as possible. We will soon begin our respective CCR projects which we will be doing by ourselves with the help of those around us. The filming process went well with the only issue being the camera dying and having to be charged while we tried to finish one of our final shots. However, we quickly got it charged and were able to finish the shots we needed before I had to leave for work that day. 

    We filmed in my partner's garage with her family's film equipment. During this process, I was able to learn how to film on a camera and was one the films cinematographers. This was fun because I was able to learn something new that is a pivotal part of making a film and the entertainment as a whole. We had a fun time while filming and got many shots that I thought were very cool and helped tell our story how we wanted it told from the beginning.   

Portfolio Project: Production - Structure

     With Scream VI coming out, I have being going back to watch the entire series and have gotten a lot of inspiration that I hope we can employ in our own film opening. We had an idea that when the lights go off we want to just hear a scream to add the thriller aspect. I have begun thinking that this could be the title card similar to that of Scream I (50) Scream Movie Titles - YouTube. Following that title card, I want it to show a few seconds from the beginning of the story starting with how the model had originally got the job which leaves the audience wanting to know what happens next and what led to the lights going out. 

    We are meeting up together today to get some shooting done that needs two people. We have planned out what we want to do very detailed which will hopefully make this a very easy and stress-free filming process that leaves us much time to finish editing and completing our CCRs that will hopefully be completed by the end of the week. I plan to work on my PowerPoint CCR tonight when I get back home from work while continuing to watch the Scream series so that I can go see Scream VI in theaters tomorrow which is my first day off in a week. 

Portfolio Project: Production - Title

     We have yet to come up with a title that is appropriate for our film. We hope that the name will come to us as we complete the filming process but I'm thinking that we will be able to link it photography which is the driving issue that is pushing the plot forward. I'm thinking that the title card will be towards the end of film open and it will be after the lights go out in the studio that this will take place in. 

    Similar to the Scream franchise, I want the title card to be on a black background that emphasizes the title itself. The film opening will continue after the title is shown which will leave the viewers wanting to know what happened next and what the resolution will be.
