Actors: Saoirse, Sarah, Carson and I Costumes: all black outfits during bank robbery, possibly with ski masks. After that, it doesn't matter as much, probably just regular clothes that any teenager wears Props: fake guns (if allowed), like water guns; monopoly money to throw out of car window; car, maybe a good looking car like Stuy's Audi Locations: Bank, like Saoirse's dad's bank; someone's house for when talking to mom; airport to film character leaving (film them walking towards security, then switch to plane flying away) Dates/Times: During the day, starting next week 2/3/20 Scripts: We don't have a script as of now, and probably won't, as most of it is just action and not dialogue. For the parts when we do talk, the actors/actresses will just talk off the top of their heads Film Equipment: Videos will most likely be filmed on phones, but we will try to stabilise the camera as much as possible to prevent it from wobbling

Our storyboard is for the action/adventure genre. Through brainstorming with all of the group members (Sarah Nemeth, Saoirse Bowe, and Carson Chambers), we came up with the idea of a bank robbery. The first part shows people driving to the bank. Then three of the people in the bank, with one other person being a getaway driver, telling the bank tellers to give up the money. The third part shows the people leaving the bank, with money flying out of the window to indicate that the money was stolen. There will then be a transition demonstrating symbolism between the money bag and a backpack that now has the money in it. Next, we will show one of the bank robbers with their sick, dying mother. Here, it can be inferred that the money stolen was for medicine for the mother, which can be illustrated through a voice-over. Finally, as more of an adventure aspect, we will show the main character with a new ID, getting on a plane (or other mode of transportation) to indicate that he/she is leav...

Rise- film opening The first few shots show the perspective well and clearly demonstrate what the actor is doing. I found it very cool and interesting how the music volume increased once the actor put on his headphones. This makes it seem that he is listening to this exact song that the viewers are also hearing. I also really liked the variety of clips to show the actor getting ready to what the viewer supposes is playing soccer, while also going along to the beat of the music too. The over-the-shoulder shot showed that the new actor/character is watching the first actor shown. Offline I liked how it started off by showing instagram, because many people in high school know what it is and how it works, so viewers are eager to see how this social media app is used. I was a little creeped out once it showed the person looking up someones location on the app, and I was even more concerned when the next clip showed a girl in a cage. By switching between scenes of the girl in the cage an...

I chose the action/adventure genre because I enjoy the thrill and suspense of action/adventure films. In these types of films, the characters often go on adventures and explore. They typically come across antagonists and are forced to fight them, resulting in action as well. For example, one of my favorite movies, Jumanji (2017) exemplifies this. In the movie the four main characters go through the in-real-life video game of Jumanji. They are made to explore the area, solve riddles, and fight animals and men who are attacking them. While Jumanji is more of an adventure film, as the characters must find a new place on the map in order to advance to the next level, there is still a good amount of action present as well. The opening of Jumanji shows a backstory to how the game was found, showing the date “1996” at the bottom of the opening scene. It shows a calm beach with the sunshine peeking out of the tops of the trees and the waves rolling onto the beach. There are two runners that c...
