For my film, I felt it was very hard to brainstorm two good ideas that would leave the audience intrigued after only 2 minutes of film! However, after careful thought, I have not only thought of two ideas for my film, but I have also picked the one I will use. My original idea for my film was to base it around a murder mystery. I love to read books about crimes as well as solving murders, so I thought basing my film around one might be fun. My idea started off with a news clipping talking about these murders, and explaining how the police have not caught the killer yet. I would show my main character walking down the street, or maybe biking. At the halfway mark in my film, I could show the "killer" begin to make his move. I could capture little things, such as the bushes moving, or maybe a dark shadow running by. This would go on until the murderer finally strikes, and that is when the screen would go pitch black. This idea was almost set in...
These past few days have been equally as stressful as before. Cambridge exams have been the main focus, and until the entire month of May is over, I don't think I can fully relax. I have many exams to study for, weekend study groups, and more! However, I did manage to show my movie to more people. My aunt, uncle, and grandma Facetimed me the other night. I asked them to watch my movie, and of course they agreed. They liked how it turned out, and agreed that making the titles red made them stand out more! I understand they are my family, but they would tell me if they felt they needed me to change anything. I believe that my family's opinion is not bias towards me. They were honest in their critiques. Today, I took my FSA. It took 2 hours out of my day that I would have been able to work on my movie sound and shooting script. This was extremely frustrating, since I really wanted to finish this project. It is especially important to wrap...
Hi! My name is Sarah Herman, a Sophmore at FLHS! I am taking this class because I have always wondered what it would be like behind the scenes. Growing up, I wanted to become an actress more than anything. However, while I envisioned myself on the stage, I couldn't resist envisioning myself behind the camera as well. The way each scene in a movie flows from shot to shot and how the graphic designers can make your visions come to life was always amazed me. I used to write down all my movie ideas (looking back, they were actually kind of silly), and how I wanted each shot to look. I have always had a creative mind, and I am able to imagine things the way they would occur in movies. Activities such as dancing with friends, skipping in the rain, or even receiving a round-of-applause after performing, are all memories that I look at as "movie material". In the end, all the special moments in my life can be remembered as "the breath-taking scene". Each memory hol...
