Day 1(Film)

 So, we wanted to copy the general mood that is shown in The Neighbor. We would want to pick a big building that would look imposing, and we could show this even more at certain angles. I felt it would be better to film at night, but our equipment was not up to the task. With a hopeful heart and phones at the ready, we set out to film.









We start to film- my "skillful" acting in full display. It's a little awkward, since I had no specific spots to look at. Just general directions. So, in close shots it may not appear the best it could be. We will have to do a lot of editing as the sun can be seen in the videos.

Shot list

     What we have so far in terms of the film opening is the following:

1) We are seen playing Hello Neighbor

2) We are transported into the game

3) We take a few seconds to reorient ourselves to the new setting

4) We walk around for some time

5) We start to hear noises that appear to be made by something of human nature

6) We see the neighbor, but he doesn't see us

7) He turns his head and sees us

8) We start to get chased

For 1, we could have a medium shot of us playing the game while it pans to an over the shoulder shot. After the camera stops moving continue with this shot for 10-15 seconds.

2, we show that something feels different, then in a POV shot we look from the tv to look down. Our hands could be shown over our heart or stomach to indicate something is wrong. Then we slowly dissipate and move into the game.

3, we pan the camera slowly left and right then behind. this is done in a shot taken from behind our back.

4, Then a long shot will show us walking around

5, In a mid-shot, we hear sounds, and we go to investigate

6, we see the neighbor from behind in a POV shot

7, He turns around, sees us 

8, he starts to chase us.
