Designing the Title

     My idea for the title effects takes an example from the highest-grossing movie of all time. In Avengers endgame, my idea is that we use the vanish into dust effect as one day our main character wakes up and she is all alone with he friend. I wish to have the black text fade in and come into a pile of dust. Just like when the characters of avengers infinity war faded away. The final title card would be in a sliver black text and then have the same effect.  I wish to also add the names of actors on items scattered on the scene. Eventually, the item becomes dust. Since the scenes will lack people as it's said to be a time where she is the only person left with her friend I have ideas to scatter the names around objects and even buildings. The barren setting can provide locations like on the side of a lone tree or on an empty road when we show the desolate place. All have the same dusting away effect or have the camera turn the corner and disappear.  When cutti...

The game plan

   Location: In the past the location of our filming has been an issue for our members. This time we decided to make the location something that was easy to do for all of us. It made the most sense to us that the location would be one of the group members homes and neighborhood. The project we intend to do is set in a house and neighborhood so that the location was not something we had to worry about. As of now the location of filming will be at the home of one of our group members Sean. His house and neighborhood provide us with adequate space for filming and bypass all of the hassle. the last places we used had entry fees and were far away which gave the group more opportunities for setbacks. As it is one of our members houses the availability is up to use which makes for a much more relaxing time. Our new planned location will allow us to relieve the project of the major setbacks we had faced in the prior projects. Participants: The participants for filming will be the thre...
