Week one blog

 Blog week 1 

Transitioning into this portfolio will be very nice considering that my group with Juan, Enrique, and Javier are all very creative people. We always come up with unique ideas to help better our project. Our plan with this project is to create an opening where we have many focus shots and we want to create a space where we have a relationship to and can relate to the idea. So what we want to do is add a cliffhanger at the end of the opening also to help the audience create interest in what's going to happen next. We want this project to be as creative and professional as possible as we have many creative ideas coming into this opening.

  Our approach to the project is to shoot an opening where it opens the eyes of the audience so we wanted a name that will fit perfectly with the opening scene.

I came up with this name as our opening will contain a big party at night at Juan's house and it will be a close-up shot of Juan's face as the audience will see blurry shots relating to Juan being dizzy and messed up.  Juan will then walk to the couch as he falls down with the camera tracking his face as he falls down to sleep on the couch. We want to start music playing as the camera has focus shots of the props around the house the morning after the party. 

  While we do the shots of the props and the cups, snacks all over the floor, and random people sleeping across the house we wanted to then start the credits because we feel like it will be the perfect fit as the audience will see the house trashed and see the credits at the same time. The point of the opening is you see Juan and Javier who are brothers in this opening and they get a call from mom that they're on their way home from vacation. The 2 characters then quickly get the house cleaned as fast as possible. We want to add parallel editing with 2 shots of the 2 brothers cleansing up and mom and dad getting home while pulling up to the driveway. As soon as the parents come in the house is spot clean and no dirt in sight. But when the dad grabs his cameras he finds all the pictures from the party and the opening ends with the dad saying "What the..."
