Diary entry One

Diary entry one:

I started on creating the first production company title, Pixelmania studios. While creating, I decided that after watching tutorials on youtube - which were these:
 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYkqC9uI8Nc) - glitch
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpmFiC5JtG8&t=356s) - cinematic intro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZlVS9hM6M) - colour grading
After watching these, I felt inspired to start creating a glitch intro. I decided that the best way to do this is to follow the tutorial, and then change it after so I also gain the knowledge behind it. I might also add in some extra effects yet - we shall see how well it goes.

Video Film Opening - Idea Update

For filming the start scene, I decided that I want to use a dark room with a table in. I will set up the tripod to get a nice shot overlooking the protagonist's shoulder. There will also be a second taking of the scene - but with the camera moved to the right of the protagonist. This will get a nice match-on-action shot to relate to my prelim task. The dark will also help sell it as mise en scene.
I think that I will have one character in my opening, as it helps to convey the loneliness of the character and how isolated they feel. This way, there will also be no dialogue - leaving body language as the only emotive give-away.
The narrative of the opening would be along the lines of the protagonist, who is shown as a rebel against society and rules, is infiltrating a building which looks important and industrial. I like this idea as it relates to the current political in the UK and the USA - the people are clearly divided between being for the government and against the government. I wanted to incorporate this feeling into a film - thus exaggerating the situation that we currently exist in. It works as people can relate to it, people will start to question how far away we are from that.
Titles wise, I want to animate them, maybe onto the industrial building. This will show off my technical expertise on after effects as well as adding depth into the scene by including moving text which is tracked onto a pipe, for example.
