Intro Blog

 Hey everyone! Welcome to my first blog post. I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, a sophomore attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I decided on this class because I'm interested in film and filmmaking. Unfortunately, I have very little experience with it. This class seems like a good way to learn about filmmaking an increase my passion for it. I first got interested in filmmaking watching YouTube videos. There is a channel called Corridor that talks about visual effects, stunt work, and filmmaking. It was at this point that I decided that filmmaking was right for me. I'm thrilled to be able to work on this and upcoming projects to expand my knowledge and increase my skill. At this point, I'm still unsure about what part in this I want to play. Being a director seems fun, but it also seems like a huge responsibility. Camera work is also interesting, as I'll be able to use the knowledge I gained about camera techniques. Being an actor would also be a lot of fun, but it's something not everyone is good at. I think that I may end up either doing a mix of all three, or rotating between them from project to project. I hope to be able to capture the magic of some of my favorite movies when working in this class. A lot of what I draw inspiration from will be big blockbuster movies like Marvel or Star Wars. Despite this, I also hope to draw inspiration from more "artsy" films, like many of Alfred Hitchcock's most famous works. I'm exited to see what I'll do next in and out of this class. Most of all, I'm exited to work with my friends to create many future projects.

Movie Conventions Research: Death on the Nile (2022)

Image
I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's research into the mystery movie: Death on the Nile. This movie sticks to the conventions of mystery movies as it has many common things that you might see in other mystery movies . Death on the Nile has things like foreshadowing, a “Whodunit” plot where the audience is trying to fi gure out who did the crime, and it is not revealed until the very end of the movie . It also holds an “Amateur detective” like plot, as the main character, Hercule Poirot, is an amateur detective who is not a member of law enforcement, and h e takes it upon himself to solve the mystery and is motivated by his sense of justice and his desire to bring the killer to justice . The movie creates a suspenseful atmosphere through music, lighting, and camera angles. The scenes that take place on the Nile River add to the sense of tension and danger, as the characters are isolated and at the mercy of the killer . "De...

The Start of my Final Task

Image
Welcome back everyone! This is the first blog post of my final task. If you're new, I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome to my blog. For this final task, we are making the first 2 minutes of a full length movie. This is meant to introduce the viewer to the story, and interest them enough to continue watching. I'm very exited to finally get to do this project. Now, I'm also more sure about my role in this process. Acting seems to not really be for me. I feel really awkward and uncomfortable on camera. I'm also not a big fan of editing. I'll do it when necessary, but it definitely gets boring sitting behind a computer dragging videos around. This actually somewhat surprised me, as I do enjoy using similar programs for static media, like PowerPoint. I definitely enjoy filming, especially when I have a little creative control. Despite this, I think I get the most enjoyment out of directing. That ability to direct people where to go and what to do never gets old. It ...

Planning Blog: Location, Participants, Health, Schedule

Image
  I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's overall plan for filming our title sequence. Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the location participants health and schedule of our final project. For our pitch to work we need a dark setting with mysterious vibes. A location I think would be perfect is right near Daniel's house. It was a street with no lights and there are usually no people around. It has the perfect dark and mysterious feel that we are looking for. A backup location would be very easy to find for us. The reason for this is because me and my group mates all have an area where we can film. We all have a place that we feel would really suit the plot for our film. We just decided on Daniel's house because it was easiest to get to and made the most sense for us. The next thing that we need is participants we plan on having some of our friends fill in but have Rhys be the main character. We have asked our frie...
