MoodBoard

-

 The assignment was to create a mood board for my film opening and then explain the creative decisions behind it. The mood board was used to visually represent ideas such as characters, setting, tone, and overall style. The purpose was to show how visual influences help shape the look, mood, and atmosphere of my film before production begins.


Character Portraits

  • The character portraits were chosen to represent the main character(s) in the film.

  • I focused on facial expressions, body language, and clothing to suggest personality and emotional state.

  • These images help the audience quickly understand the type of character they are watching.

  • The choices also help establish the tone of the film early on.




Setting / Location

  • The setting images were selected to show where the story takes place.

  • Locations were chosen because they support the genre and atmosphere of the film.

  • These visuals help establish the world of the story and make it feel believable.

  • The setting also reflects the mood and themes of the film.





Lighting and Color Palette

  • The lighting and color palette were chosen to create a specific mood.

  • Darker tones and controlled lighting help create tension and a serious atmosphere.

  • Shadows and muted colors were used to keep the visuals consistent.

  • This helps the film feel cinematic and intentional.




Costume and Props

  • Costume choices were made to reflect the character’s lifestyle and personality.

  • Clothing styles were kept realistic to help ground the story.

  • Props were chosen carefully to hint at the narrative without giving too much away.

  • These details add realism and depth to the film opening.





Cinematography / Visual Style

  • The cinematography images focus on how the film will be shot.

  • Camera angles and framing were chosen to control how information is revealed.

  • The use of close-ups and wider shots helps build tension and engagement.

  • This supports storytelling through visuals rather than dialogue.

Sound Art Project

 In this project me and a group of 3 were tasked to chose from a list of prompts and create an environment around the prompt. We were to have atleast 4 foley sounds in this environment a the rest of the sounds were to be taken from a copyright free sound effects website. The scene: A dark night in the woods, walking with only a lantern as the light source, you hear echoing all throughout the forest and the sounds of dogs barking, the sound of leafs and branches crack under your feet. Foley Sounds: Stepping in grass, this effect was very easy to create as we had daniel walk in the grass for about 15 seconds. Breaking branches, this effect was also easy as we had to find a big pile of branches and step on them. Stepping on rocks, same as the others in difficulty as it isn’t very hard to find rocks near us. Dogs barking, this effect took the most work as one of us had to go outside at night time to pretend to be a stranger which eventually made the dogs barking loudly. Lantern moving,...

      EDITING TECHNIQUES ASSIGNMENT       In this assignment me and my partner were tasked to create 8 scenes all representing a different editing technique. Each scene had to have a title card with the editing term, the title of the scene, and the scene that we put together. Sound had to be included in each scene and each scene had to be edited. The first technique we used was the shot reverse shot, the prompt we did was 2 people arguing. During the filming process my partner filmed me and my other friend pretending to argue. The second technique we did was a jump cut and the prompt we did was working overtime. my partner filmed himself at the day time going to his computer and working, it cuts to him later at nights tired like he’s been working all day. The third technique we used was cross cutting where it was me on the phone trying to call someone, the camera then cross cuts to someone phone ringing and then picking it up. The fourth technique we used i...

Collage

  The assignment that I was given for this Collage was to take 11 different pictures all with different camera shots. The process I went through for this assignment was first, finding an object to take the different shots with. I originally planned on using my dog but then realized it would be hard to keep them still so I chose one of my sisters plush parrots. My experience creating the shots wasn't very difficult as I had my dad help me because he's a videographer for reality TV so he knows all of the shots. He helped guide me where to put my camera and the different angles making it very easy to complete this assignment. By: Nico Alves
