Production of CCR's!

 Hi Cambridge peeps! For today's blog, I'll be focusing on the production of my CCR'S! 

 Production for my project is officially underway, and I’m really excited about how it’s starting to come together! So far, I’ve filmed all of the scenes where I appear on camera explaining my movie opening. These are my “me” scenes, and later I’m going to edit clips from the actual film intro into them so it feels like a fun director’s commentary, where I talk about the scenes while they play. 

  

The image of my camera roll is my proof of production! 

My movie opening follows the psychological thriller genre, so the beginning looks normal at first but slowly starts to feel unsettling. It starts in a therapist’s office where the main character explains that she’s been seeing things and feels like she might be going crazy. Instead of starting with action or something scary right away, I wanted to build tension in a more psychological way, so the audience starts questioning what’s real. Small details, like the therapist asking about medication and the character hesitating before answering, help hint that something deeper might be going on. 

When the scene switches to her house, things slowly start to get stranger. Normal sounds like the fridge humming or cereal hitting the bowl become louder, which helps make the scene feel more tense and quiet. Then weird things start happening, like the TV seeming to talk directly to her and a spoon appearing bent in different places. These moments are meant to make the audience curious and a little uncomfortable, so they want to keep watching to figure out what’s actually happening. 

Overall, I wanted the opening to feel mysterious, suspenseful, and just a little bit creepy!
