https://youtu.be/MOqhQ5W4-r8 I couldn't make any changes and create a final draft for my movie opening but if i could make any changes was bring the knife from the beginning of the movie opening in more of the scenes also and lower the music at some points.

What I liked What confused me Suggestions I liked the background music, the setting and light exposure. I thought the dolly and over the shoulder shots were nice. The simultaneity between the little girl and the killer was nicely executed. The point of view shot/scene with the knives inside the house was good because it added more suspense and fit the horror theme. I was not confused about anything really. I thought the story was well executed and correlated with the theme. I applaud Berluche for doing a good job with this opening! I would suggest to decrease the background sounds a bit so they're not too overwhelming and overly dramatic. Use more natural sounds like the killer walking or the little girl worrying to add more suspense. I liked how the titles (music, actors, production company) were slowly added in as the opener progressed, something that usually takes place in actual movie openers that I did not see in some of the other group projects. I also appreciated that Be...

here is the link to my first draft https://youtu.be/MOqhQ5W4-r8

Part 2 of editing was adding the titles to my videos after editing it all perfectly the way i wanted. I added the company that made the movie directors, producers actors etc. Then at the end i had to create a a blank scene to where the movie title transitions and pops up on the screen and my movie opening would then be complete after i went back and touched up on a couple of things.

First time editing and I had to put all the clips from my iPhone to the laptop then had to transfer those clips to the editing software the had to make cuts and edit the parts that I wanted and didn't want find and add free scary music. Had to then add all the clips in order to how I wanted them to go then added transitions to all the clips.

Week two of filming filming is almost done and this is me ( the stalker) hiding behind the tree watching my victim the girl i was about to kidnap. this was a full shot that included my whole body this would then be turned to a point of view shot in the next scene to show the point of view of the stalker watching his next victim the point of view shot is also a zoom in shot to show that the stalker is watching his prey look for him through the window but not finding him but the stalker is seeing everything.

As I began filming this week. I took an point of view shot of me looking through the window and stalking my little sister. This shot will be used to built suspense as my little sister does not know that she is been stalked by a stalker as its being showed from the stalkers point of view. This shot is to show who the stalker has in mind to stalk from the very beginning.

Video 1 brainstorm: The film opening had great transition and a clear plot Although you could clearly see that all the shots he made was just thrown top corner and not actually kicked there He was good at soccer but the opening could have improved if he actually made the shots Good choice of music Video 2 brainstorm: Liked how it transitioned from all the time the girl was on her phone to her being captured The opening had a massage Builds suspense right away Video 3 Brainstorm: Didn’t like that opening Pretty boring Video 4 brainstorm: Upbeat music Didn’t really know what genre they were doing at first Would actually watch the movie if it was real Liked the ending builds suspense Video 5 Brainstorm: Feels like a tmz stalker film Weird plot because the main bad guy is telling the therapist all he did and the therapist is just sitting there Had good transitions Captured the insanity of the villain/main character Unique point of view Video 6 brainstorm: Right choice of custom Great ...

I chose horror because horror is a fascinating genre to me. The whole point of horror is to take the worst fears of people and use those save fears to entertained them through scaring them all the same. That is what inspired me to pick the horror genre. One of my favorite horror movie is “A Nightmare On Elm Street” because it has one of the best openings to me. The movie starts with someone constructing knife gloves perfectly fit for his or her hands. The character’s face never once gets revealed during the construction of the gloves drawing in the audience even more because they want to know who the person is. Is he/she the bad guy or the good guy the audience wants to know. Then the movie cuts to a woman who is running away from something or someone obviously scared out of her mind. The person is never revealed though. This also draws the audience in more because they start to wonder if it is the same mysterious person that was making the gloves in the beginning or if its someone or ...
