Re-shoot & Re-Casting

My group has decided to re-shoot the entire film with a different male lead, instead of re-doing just some clips. We want to improve the plot and continuity of the film. We are keeping the female lead, but using a different male lead. We are are changing the role of the male lead from being her best friend to her boyfriend/fiance. Our new male role, Ian Bain, is apart of the military and has the uniforms from it which we can utilize in our film as it follows a boy who got hurt in combat who came home. It will also help our voice over make sense as we can have the male read his own letter instead of the inner monologue of the girl.

The reason for this change in casting is because of the availability of our last male lead as well as how we want to keep it on a serious note and these two leads have more chemistry to be able to follow the original script of the two being in love rather than dating. Also the last version of the film, following the memories taking place in it, the cast wore the same outfits for each memory which is a continuity issue.

The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) The Twilight zone is a drama/horror series. The opening of the twilight zone is incredible gripping due to its strangeness which immediately grasps the viewer's attention. The show itself  follows people in immensely strange and dramatic situations who need to figure out how to get out of them, usually with ironic and sometimes horrifying endings. Although most drama films are expected to follow situations of some level of seriousness or realism, there are many different sub-topics included in dramatic films, such as romance, horror, and mystery. Drama's show how bad and how good humans can be, and how they attempt to solve issues they are presented with. The elements of romance and horror follow the plot in the characters and method of solving the conflict. The opening scene .....i would like to incorprate the black and white...

Project Selection- Film

I feel doing this project in film form would be best fitting for me due to my experience. Some aspects of film that interest me are script-making, directing, editing, music, and marketing. I have taken directing and put on three shows being the main or assistant director. I have created short-length films and also taken a film, theater and cinema appreciation class through FLVS, which taught be many aspects of film with camera and angles. I've also been taught on the elements and necessities of marketing. I've had to create a marketing plan for a show I had planned to direct and had a professional marketer coach my class on the topic. Last year, I helped my friends who took this class in their film project and was an actor in theirs, getting an inside look at how the project should go. What I've learned in class has also further interested be in film production from learning about the use of camera technique and angles as well as watching the Newsroom and other movies to a...

First Impressions We are producing the opening to a film, in which the most important thing is to grasp the attention of the viewer and keep them hooked to want to watch the rest of the film. Usually, the film opening is also apart of the credit sequence, where the names of the actors, producers, and directors are appearing usually on the perimeters of the screen. The Titanic (1997) is a dramatic film with many romantic elements. The opening scene of the Titanic is 1:22 minutes long and displays credits citing Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Lightstorm Entertainment, following the reveal of the title of the film behind the background of dark, deep waters. The beginning of the opening shows real footage of the ship in yellow filer footage. The opening of the film hooks its audience by making them ask themselves the questions "What comes next?", or "What happened to the ship that there are people searching the ocean floor?" Having a gripping opening l...
