Title reserch: scream

 So now its time for the title research on scream.  Now i don't know if there is no titles in the opening sequence or if the videos I watch don't contain them. For the sake of this blog I'm just going to assume that there was no titles in the opening sequence. with that being said lets move on to the opening scene and its images. Right of the bat you can see one of the distressed woman. Notice that she is all by herself at night in a secluded portion of her house. All of which is conveniently going along with the conventions of the horror genre. Now you can see another one of the destressed woman on the phone taking a gander outside . This is where you can better see how dark it is and how secluded she is. I've have noticed that horror films usually do a lot of tracking movements. With that being said this film didn't lack in that department. It is common place in horror for you to find close up shots and I saw some in this film as well. the scenery in the film is kind of dark and dreary. it is as if someone turned down the exposure on the movie. I believe this was to cater to the horror elements and make the film more spooky. It could also have an inverse effect of setting the mood for us as an audience and as consumer of horror films. 


In the film there is also a healthy or should a say a great amount of mid shots showing the character and her surroundings. On top of the mid shots there was also a bit of cutaway action. the director probably used this to shift our attention as the character seemed like she was looking for someone. To emulate the character turning her head the directors used a panning movement. all of these technologies proved  effecting in maximizing the feel of the movie and overall making it better.

Research: How to make a short film

Image
 I've watched the "how to make a short film" YouTube video and  I gathered a good amount of useful points tips and ideas. Time to delve into what I've gained. Ill start with the fact that when designing or writing you short film one should only do enough that fit their resources. A good example of such is if I have 20,000 I cant be writing or designing for a 100,000 dollar short film. Another example of such is if I only have a water gun I cannot be looking to make a wwii bunker battle since I don't have the resources for such action. When making a short film one should also think of set ups and payoffs. Their are also multiple types of set ups and pay offs including emotional and story as decreed by the video. another skill that their video speaks of is to do or act in opposite of what the audience is expecting. An example of this could be that an audience is expecting a scene  where a mysteries character is the protagonist father but then you can flip the script...

blue print for next part p2

Ok, so previously i explained my game plan for doing the video project. this is a continuation of that blog. in this blog I will be going into greater detail about the second part of my plan to finish the project. First it will start with me going up to the front gate of the complex area. From there i would basically take car of all parts pertaining to the killer. I would start with the opening shot of the killer. then i would move on and take all scenes in which pertain to killer. while I'm doing that I would simultaneously improvise each scene. I would add extra movements and even add different camera angles if necessary. from then on I would go back to basketball court. Once there I would take all shots of my victim. just like the killers scenes i would try to improvise the victims scenes with movements and camera angles. After that i would start taking the scenes of the killer and victim in the same frame. I would retake some scenes just incase they were not up to par. note tha...
