  Hello and welcome back to my blog! The opening credit s of our film will appear in a pencil like font that appears to be “scribbled” into the center of the screen.   Even though few, some of the credits will be embedded in the set ting . For instance, credits will be written on the wall above the girl’s head .   . Working title : The title of our film is likely to be “S olus”   It will be in a pencil-like font, and it will be all lowercase except for the first letter of each word. For instance, “ S omething Along This Style ”     Titles will all be “Scribbled” onto the screen. The titles will come on as being scribbled and will dissolve .   Titles will disappear after around 3 seconds   All of the fonts will be w hite .

For instance, D i recte d By: Kyra Myers This is Kyra signing off!

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  Our starting location for the beginning scene where the girl wakes up will likely be one of the team members houses, depending on who's house is accessible on film day. If none of our houses are available, we might change to mood a bit by having the subject wake up in a field. Then, our location will change to an empty street as the girl searches its empty remains. She will enter a shop, and see no one is there. Then a cinema, and see no one is there. She will try doors upon doors in different locations, but will ultimately end up dizzy with confusion and fear back in the street.  I will play the subject in this final task. Kyra will be our director, along with the hand on my shoulder in the final scene. Alessandra will produce and edit the film.

  Hello and welcome back to my blog! Here is the script my group and I prepared for our opening sequence: SCENE ONE- BEDROOM  A teenage girl named Hailey wakes up in her bedroom. A close up at the bottom of her bed shows as she kicks her feet out of bed and steps down onto the floor. With a medium long shot she’s seen taking a long stretch. As she stumbles to the bedroom door she yells out, “MOM! Remember my presentation is today, I gotta stay after school.” Hailey hears no response, but figured her mom simply couldn’t hear her due to the distance.  SCENE TWO- BATHROOM  Hailey walks into the bathroom and shuts the door. She turns on the sink and bends over to rinse her face. After washing her face, she examines it in the mirror and takes a deep sigh before leaving the bathroom.  SCENE THREE- HALLWAY With a tracking shot, the camera follows Hailey out the bathroom and into the hallway. Once again, she calls out to her mother.  “Mom you need to pick me up from school today! If you forget
