Mood Board for Movie Opener


 My mood board focuses on the emotional weight carried by two teens who experience bullying in different ways. The images I choose highlights isolation and vulnerability: one student sits alone in a dark, empty hallway, while another hides their face under a hoodie, showing how both characters withdraw from the world around them. A photo of a kid lying down in class represents exhaustion and defeat, while the gloomy hallway and the locker image reinforce the cold, unwelcoming school environment. The close-up shot of someone's hair and nose shows an intimate, human detail, reminding the audience that these struggles are deeply personal. Altogether, the images create a mood of loneliness, tension, and quiet resilience.

Camera Movements

In this blog, I will be exploring different camera movements, showing how each one can change the way we see a scene. I’ll explain what each shot does, how it affects the audience, and why it’s used in filming Tilt: The shot begins at the student’s feet and tilts upward, capturing her hands as she struggles to choose a book. By leaving her face out of frame, the tilt emphasizes her hesitation through gesture and movement rather than expression. Depending on the pace, the shot can serve different purposes. At normal speed, it presents an ordinary moment, while in slow motion, it builds suspense and highlights the difficulty of her choice. Steadicam: This Steadicam shot captures two friends studying in the library. As they continue their work while talking with others around them, the shot creates a natural and realistic atmosphere. Its purpose is to give the audience a glimpse of everyday student life, showing the characters in a familiar and authentic setting. Dolly shot:  This d...

Preliminary Exercise

 Two friends mourning together in silence                                              This photo shows two friends sitting close together, sharing a quiet moment of grief. Even without words, you can feel the support between them through their body language and how they lean toward each other. The black‑and‑white filter adds to the mood, making the scene feel heavier and more focused on their emotions instead of the background. The eye‑level angle keeps everything honest and simple, almost like you’re witnessing the moment in real time. How this could've been improved?  A softer light source could’ve made the emotion stand out even more Commentary on decisions I made during shooting: I moved in close, so their hands and faces were the main focus, since that’s where the emotion really shows. I kept the framing simple and didn’t try to over stage anything. The bla...
