Shots Shots Shots !

 As a camera person, shots are so fun to plan since through camera work ideas come to life and get portrayed almost exactly how we plan. 

Since our idea is a psychological piece a lot of our shots and what happens in them are going to mess with the mind, for both our characters. In the beginning, we open with the end of Cam's(our main unseen character) story and the beginning of Annes(our main character). At the end of Cam's story, we see his downfall, his mental collapse so as to drive the intensity of his situation most of the shots in this scene are going to be handheld tracking movements. 

We are going to be going through many of cams paintings and work as he tears them up throws them and demolishes his life work so during that chaos we would glaze of one of his untouched paintings maybe the main centerpiece and the title of the film would be on the corner so that would be our name of the film and it would cross dissolve to one of the eyes of our characters which then they would match cut to each other, one with blood and one with paint in the same spot, to symbolize they're kinda about to be in a similar situation.

Now Sam and I have watched a lot of films similar to what we want to try to do in our opening, and one that stood out the most was Opal, a demented version of Penny from Peewee's Playhouse in my humble opinion. Now Opal was a claymation short film by Jack Stauber where a young girl named Opal was living in a false reality to escape from her very bad one.

She's so cute and silly looking I love her



But I loved the look of the claymation shake like stop motion shake where it's not completely smooth with the movements and it made me think of films/shows from the 1940-50s where since they filmed on a reel, not all the movements were smooth, especially for horror films, the zooms weren't smooth but they were still unsettling. So I talked to Sam about it and Sam loved the idea so we would definitely incorporate that into our opening so we can try to achieve it.
