Filming blog scenes 19-24

 Emanas and I are doing a blog for scenes 19-24. We shot the last scene for the storyboard. The shooting took about an hour to an hour and a half.  This project has been fun lately but the blogs kill me most of the time. Especially  when you have homework to do and sports. This made the scenes tight to fit in to our schedule. This scene was harder to do because we had blood in this scene. We had to change the script and the victim is now going to be on the toilet than in the tub. We did this because if the victim.was going to be in the tub, we would have to put a pool of blood in the tub leaking out and that's too much work. The tub scene gives us a little blood that we can easily clean up. The blood was easy to make. We had to mix powdered sugar, cocoa powder, food coloring , and water. Fist,, we had to put the entire packet off powdered sugar in the blender and add water. This was the hardest  part because the powemder got everywhere. We added food coloring. Lastly we added cocoa powder and started blending again. The blood came out thick a few times. After a few more blending, the blood started to look like real blood. After. This we finally filmed the last shot and called it a day. Althoigh I had to take a long shower, it was worth it.

Filming blog:7-18

Today, emanas and I have our 2nd filming blog due. I tried to do this blog the day before it was due. Emanas and I filmed but I had other things to do. We filmed for 3 hours. We started filming at my house. We'll film the rest of the film at my aunt's house. That's where my original film setting was going to be. Eventhough the filming was brief we covered the second half of the intro. We plan to refilm as many times as we can.
 The second film we did was the 2nd and 3rd sheet of the storyboard. We had to wait for 3 hours to film because it was nighttime when the scene was drawn out to be. We had to film my brother and I at the door mostly because we kept on laughing. I was the camera man again. I did an amazing job because the camera angles were as steady as could be. We decided not to do the rest of the films. It was getting late so we called it a night. We are going to speed up next week so we can get this done quickly.

Title Research Case 39

Case 39 is a horror movie about a  social worker fights to save a girl from her abusive parents, only to discover that the situation is more dangerous than she ever expected. There's  a total of 19 titles in the opening. The image's the opening show the social worker trying to make it home after a hard day at work. Some angles of angles of nearby buildings can be seen with the titles hidden on them. The opening gives a serious vibe because of all the dull lighting, colors and fonts of the words. With the mixture of the serious song  gives me chills. The opening is very enigmatic because it shows a regular social worker  going home so it left me puzzled because this is supposed to be a horror movie but it felt like a thriller which threw me off. The eye of god angle was put into use in this opening to look at the buildings. I dont know why they did this but it was pretty good scenery. 

Title Research it

 It(2017) is a horror movie remake of the 1990 version that all the old people used to lose their marbles to. The movie is about seven outcasted in dairy, Mainewho face thier worse nightmares that all come from one source: Ann ancient, shape-shifting evil that comes from the sewers every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Banding together because of the nightmares they faced through the summer, they try to face their fears to battle the murderous, killer clown known as Pennywise. There's a total of 16 titles in the intro, which isn't alot but the duration of the titles were extended  so it would take longer. The images shown in the title sequence show bill making the boat he gave to georgy which lead to his fatal demise. The connotation in the movie was done beautifully. The white mixed with the fonts they used in the intro wmgave me a sense of seriousness. Horror is the genre be reinforced through the outset of the title sequence. From the fonts to the creepy piano Bill's mom was playing made the tone and the genre scream at our faces. The title sequence was very enigmatic because it didnt really show anything except bill making George's boat. If I wasn't a fan of the movie it, I wouldn't noticed what movie it was or that the scene was the scene which led to georgy getting killed. On the other hand, the finer knew that this scene would catch a viewer that knows the movie's eye. If you're someone who watched it, you'd catch that seen instantly. They used their modern technology effectively with the camera angles and non diegenic sound and diegenic sound. The angles they used gave that simple title sequence a pop. The dark lighting gives a viewer a creepy vibe when mixed with the non diegenic piano playing in the background. To add on, the switch tondiegenic sound was perfect when georgy went downstairs to where the music was coming from. This is truly a great title sequence. 

A quiet place

A quiet place is a popular movie about a family that must survive a world where they're being hunted by creatures that hunt by sound. Even a single whisper or footstep can bring death to the family. They try to find a way to fight back. The reason I wanted to make a blog on this movie is because it didnt even have titles. However, they still got the tone through the setting and lack of sound. The images show a post apocalyptic town and a family in a pharmacy. This shows that something must've happened to the town for a family to go through a pharmacy to get medicines. The lack of sound adds a creepy mysterious tone because in an apocalypse, I would really be that quiet unless there is a force forcing to be this quiet. Some angles angles and switches from diegenic and non diegenic sound makes the opening scene better. The low angle of the family walking out of the store and the newspaper flapping in the wind saying to stay inside because of the creatures with sound, gave a good explanation to the movie. Also when the family walked over the bridge and the kid made noise with the plane, you can hear the transition from non diegenic music, silence and the non diegenic plane sound, to the diegenic footsteps. This is a very good opening eventhough there wasn't a title sequence.

Title Research Jigsaw

Jigsaw is a horror sequel that's been going on for almost 2 decades. After a series of murders bearing all the markings of the Jigsaw killer, law enforcement officials find themselves chasing the ghost of a man who has been dead for over a decade, and they become embroiled in a new game that's only just begun. There is only a whopping 2 titles  which is really underwhelming.  The only images shown in the title sequence is a trap the police uses to slow down the vehicle. The title sequence gives me an action film vibe because of the high tempo chase music. The movie should be giving off this type of vibe because its supposed to be a horror movie. The title sequence isn't anything special at all. Ot doent give any enigma or give me suspense. The close up shot of the trap wasn't really isn't.

planning blog:shooting blog

Today, Bori and I will be making a shooting script  for our movie. A shooting script is the version of a   screenplay used during the production of a motion picture Shooting scripts are distinct from spec. Scripts in that they make use of scene numbers along with certain other formatting conventions described below. They follow a well defined set of procedures specifying how script revisions should be implemented and circulated. A shooting script is just as important as a sound script. It lets the actors know what movements   to do when looking at the sound script. Bori and I chose to make the script about  the actor's movements and less abut the angles. we might change the angles that best fit the scene. when I looked at the shooting script on youtube, it showed a summary before explaining the movements. We have to make about 10 to 20 slides. wish e luck. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/150uVMtG_IqdFotUTVvNsBPXIA8qdPk-KVHWRywXT3fc/edit?usp=sharing

planning blog: sound script

Today, my dialogue script is due. To be honest, these waves of blogs has been easy so far. However, I know it's going to get harder. The script wasn't hard because it was only 2 mins of the movie. You shouldn't be making 30 slides because that's not going to fit into 2 mins of dialogue in a movie. Emanas and I decided that the dialogue was going to be simple because it will set the viewer up for the jump scare. Normal conversations will give the viewer a normal feel. Once he/she hears the scream, they will get a feel of concern and suspense. then they will see a pool of blood and a phone on the floor. this is gonna be a good intro.
