Production Blog...preparing for film day!!!

 


Heyy scholars, how are you guys?? Welcome back to my blogg!! Today, I decided to prep for our film day. As you may know, we didn't get to film previously. We were able to reschedule, accordingly which is really good. I want a smooth production process. I looked over our script numerous times to memorize them. Even though we aren't really actors, it was really fun practicing. I like to perfect my craft, especially in projects like these. Over the weekend I sat and watched a couple of my favorite movies that correlate with our genre (horror). I watched the movie "Us" by Jordan Peele. I studied the body language of the actors in the scene. The way the characters reacted when something crazy happened. I wanted to nail my role even though it is small and casual. I watched how they acted in certain settings and took note of it. I made my friends sit down and practice with me. Although it was really funny at times cause I couldn't take it seriously. I believed, I picked up some good cues from the movie. I thought about different things we could include in the scene to make it more believable. I searched up trending news, so we could talk about which would be good for our script. I'm really excited for film day!! Until next time scholars.....

Yours Truly, A. LaFrance ;)

Production Blog...a word from our peers

Image
  Welcome back scholars to your favorite blog!!! Last time we began taking in peer reviews to make our final task a full success. Being able to get reviews from our peers really helps us look into any things we may have missed. Some things that needed to be fixed were the transitions. Many of our peers stated, they enjoyed our sequence but the transitions were a bit fast. "I feel like you can make your transitions a bit slower, so the viewers can take in the full screen set" I agreed, making the transitions too fast may cause viewers confusion or not enough time to assess the scene. There were a couple of critiques on our acting skills. I was shocked when a peer stated our acting was "pretty good". In personally thought otherwise, but it felt really good to know. Another critique we received was our opening shot. In the beginning it was at a certain angle, making it hard to see the content. With some help, we were able to fix this. Viewers have a better understandin...

Planning Blog: Locations, Participants, Health, Schedule

Hey lovelies!! Welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need....

Title Research: Dead Silence

  Hey scholars, welcome back.  The film that I chose to analyze is Dead Silence because it is a great representation of how a horror film should be.  The website I used wa s   Art of the Title What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?   The  titles  that are displayed  first  is the title of the film. It is in red  and has  a spooky looking font to add to the way that the movie is horror. The next titles  are from who made the film and a brief description of what to expect. Then it goes into naming everyone who helped contribute  to  making the film happen like the actors and what not.    What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images that are prioritized look like scenes from out the movie. They are images that give a feel f or what will happen in the movie without fully telling what exactly is going on. The movie is on a marionette that is very haunting and the image of...
