Hey y'all! Today I completed my storyboard process. This process consists of drawing out each of my scenes for my final task. Now I am going to elaborate on each of the different scene's drawings. Scene 1: This scene would include a view of a picture from a scrapbook (to show a character). Most likely shot in a close-up angle on the side.  Scene 2: This scene starts with an establishing shot and than shows a shovel sticking up in the grass in a close up shot. Scene 3: This scene shows another picture angle of the scrapbook-same picture. Scene 4: This scene will show a low angle of a person picking up a shovel and dragging it away. Additionally, the person will be carrying a duffel bag and the camera will zoom out as you walk away.. Scene 5: This scene zooms into the same picture on the scrapbook. Scene 6: This scene shows a person throwing duffel bag and shovel into the back of a trunk and close it. It will be recorded at a low angle. Scene 7: This scene shows a wider shot o

Planning: Title Design

  Hey y'all! Today I will discussing my title design with you all. The opening titles of my film will all be the same font. The words will pop up on the screen in different locations and will stay there for about 3-4 seconds each. The words will not be apart of the setting where I am recording since I want them to stand out. The titles will preferably contrast the background of the film. I want the words to be a lighter color like white or a cream color and the background to be black or dark gray. However, not all of the time will the background be darker. For this reason, the words will become like a black or dark gray when the background is lighter.  My current title idea is "Memory" and I will have it appear in at least the size 30. I have decided on one font but there are others that I like as well. I feel like I will not be certain with my font until I start editing and putting everything together. I like the fonts Lacquer, Zighead and Unutterable. I do not know what

This film establishes the feeling of the genre immediately by its background music. The background music is creepy and dark, in which helps to create that feeling for the audience. The colors in
