Beginning To Film (post 1)

Astrid and I started to find places that we wants to film each scene of our story board. My teacher, Mrs. Henderson, suggested that we try to be as original as possible. We thought it would be a unique idea to incorporate the green screen into our movie opening to better portray the setting. We are very excited to do this and picked out several green screen backgrounds which help establish setting and time. Here is a green screen background of the office that we liked: 
Here are pictures of us practicing our scenes with the green screen: 


We thought it would be best to have a mix of green screen and normal filming in our movie opening because it would incorporate different types of shots. During the interrogation scene, we are interested in using an area in the corner of our classroom because the walls look plain and we could take close up shots. Plus, we would like to get creative with the crime scene and make it ourselves rather than projecting it onto the green screen. 
Here is the picture of the area which we will film the interrogation scene:
Overall, we feel much more prepared to begin filming and we hope that it turns out as unique as we are planning it to be. We think incorporating the green screen will add the extra originality which will make our film opening much more sophisticated. Our biggest issue this week was trying to figure out which green screen backgrounds would work best and how we could make our setting look real.

Creative Critical Reflection (CCR)

Click HERE to view my CCR Law and Disorder was designed, produced, and edited by Madison Craumer and Astrid Nova. The CCR posted to this channel is made and voiced in its entirety by Madison Craumer and is my personal response to what I thought of the film making process. In no way does it copy Astrid's CCR and it is of my original thought and opinion that this reflection was based. Here is my script for the CCR: Questions: 1.How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? In terms of story conventions, mystery detective films are often characterized by: films that focus on the unsolved crime (usually the murder or disappearance of one or more of the characters, or a theft), and on the central character, which is a strong, confident, detective-hero, as she meets various adventures and challenges in the cold and methodical pursuit of the criminal or the solution to the crime. The plot often centers on the deductive ability, p...

Evaluating Peer Reviews

Peer Reviews: What I liked What confused me Suggestions The music fit the scenes very well I liked how using the green screen you made it seem like an actual office The close up of Zoe's eyes moving back and forth after being interrogated made me laugh and helped viewers to understand that she is nervous No There was nothing that stood out to me as confusing or in need of change I loved the editing and the backdrop of the opening. I loved the music they chose to have in the background. I felt that the music really gave the opening that investigative and mysterious feel. I loved the title because it sounds ironic and it adds some humor to the otherwise serious feel of the opening. I was confused who "Santos" was, but I am sure it is something that would be explained in the movie. I have no suggestions. I thought the opening was edited really well, the plot appeared to be fluent, and the...
