Research before Recording

 Hello guys, welcome back to another blog regarding our progress.  As of now, my group still hasn't been able to record but in the meantime, I've decided to research some camera angles and music. I wanted to know what the best camera angles would be for the movie so I looked it up. For the scene where they are fighting, I wanted to know how to portray that in the best way possible.

Our narrative follows two assassins, one male and one female, who are tasked with eliminating each other. By giving both the characters equal placing in the fi...

Unleaded (Thriller): Short Film

Image
  The short film Unleaded begins with a black screen, typical from a thriller short. The audience is only given the sound of what is revealed to be a person filling up gas at a station. A woman is shown to be sitting in her car as she looks inside the gas station. She then is shown to be watching two people robbing the gas station inside, one pointing a gun at the cashier and the other holding him down. Another car pulls into the gas station and the women watches the car very closely. What is going on in the car is then revealed. There are two men in the front and a third in the back. The two look to the back and at the third guy as he objects to going inside the gas station. It is not known if they are aware of what is going on inside, but the man who was objecting in car ends up going in, putting on a gray hoodie, and walks right past the robbers. The robbers notice and one sneaks up from behind the guy in the grey hoodie and points a gun from the back of his head telling him to ...
