Portfolio Posting Week 2 #2

Claudio and I finally decided what we wanted to do. We were brainstorming and landed on the idea to revolve our story around a man on a hiking trip getting lost. It's a simple idea and it's perfect for a film opening. The movie "127 hours" is a perfect example of the feel and look we are striving for. On our research, the general techniques for this topic use time-lapses, hand-held shots, asynchronous sounds, and dark lighting. One of the best locations to do this in that's also accessible is Markham Park or just any nearby park. If we really put in the work, this idea could end up making a great project. I am just afraid of making it corny or unprofessional. 

In the coming days, we will plan on visiting Markham to scan the area for some great spots. We will take notes and visualize how the plot will go once we are there. We will take pictures and upload them on the vlog showcasing which spots we will choose. Our genre is drama so we want to keep the lighting and the music very dark. I'm going to also research on ways we can add suspense and drama to this piece, since that's the main focus. The cinematography for this specific project will be a key part of the project, because I feel like survival type movies rely a lot on visual aspects.
