PRODUCTION of FILM OPENING

 On Tuesday March 14th my partner and I began the production process of our film opening. After planning out our shots and our set we decided to put everything together. Our production apart from some difficulties outside of our control went very smoothly. The filming all felt normal and clean. 

This portion of the film opening consists of the scenes inside the main character's home. This includes him arriving, going to his room and turning on his favorite song. 

During this process we wanted to introduce some ideas that are key to our film opening. For example, the most important aspect we are developing in the opening is that the main character loves music. Music acts as an escape from his normal life and takes him to a place where he can forget his troubles and just feel relaxed and no stress. 

We also wanted to represent the Latin community especially in this portion of the film opening. The main character says "Ma llegue" as he enters his house and has a Honduran flag over his bed. This is important because of how we attempt to give proper representation to Latin immigrants in America. Read More Below (LATIN REPRESENTATION)

The camera really treated us very well. Its settings just worked perfectly for us. It also proved to have some really excellent quality and just gave us the freedom to go for more risky shots just because it honestly did allow us to do so. 

The tripod also proved to be such a great help. The tripod we used had a setting where we could both place it steady and raise it with the turning of a regulator. Scenes like the ones on the bed as seen above were greatly helped by the regulator of the tripod because of our lack of room.
