Research into necessary techniques

 HEYY, so for our film opening I want to include various techniques so in this blog post I'm going to be talking about the techniques I wanna use, where I got the inspiration from, and how I'm going to create them.

First technique !!!

So this is a scene from the movie "Mean Girls (2004), and the technique I want to take from here is the transition crosscutting editing style. so my viewers can infer that the phone call is happening at the same time in 2 different locations. This technique will be placed in my first scene when Ellie and Sabrina have the phone call and Ellie reveals she got their desired information. For this transition, I will be using the "Premier Pro" editing app and to learn how to do this I have been researching some basic editing tutorials on YouTube considering I'm not an expert I have been practicing this past week to make sure I learn how to. https://youtu.be/gDZ0rkvrA-k?si=NnvUIQORiAWFYF19

Second technique !!!

 So for another one of our scenes we are going to do a tracking handheld shot of Ellie biking to her house. It is going to be pretty similar to how it is in this Stranger Things scene. The one problem with this scene is that we don't own any drones or any moveable cameras where we could shoot Ellie from the front while she is biking. So we decided the best way to do this is use a car! The plan is that the cinematographer will be sitting in the back of a car with the trunk open then slowly we move the car and have ellie bike in that same pace. It will also be handheld because I want this scene to have a more raw, youth effect.
