Production Blog: A few things I Haven't Mentioned

 Hey Bloggers! Welcome back to another blog. As you may know in my previous blogs I have been making sure this opening sequence is perfect. I've been doing edits and small tweaks that has been bothering me. This blog however is going to be slightly different. This blog will be about certain things I haven't mentioned like how we got the props and the proccess. I will also be talking about the behind the scenes. So first off, we had to pick up certain props before we began filming. The first one we went for was the gorilla suit. We went to Party City to pick it up and we made sure whoever was wearing it won't sufficate. After that we bought this gallon of fake blood since we tried making our own but it didn't end up working out. The gallon of fake blood was super useful since it was easy to put it on the shirt and make the trail of blood. It made the whole scenery super realistic which was perfect. After we got the props we need we started rehearsing. We all had to make sure that we remembered our lines and not mess up. Well that didn't happen. We had to re-do each scene almost 5 times because one of us would laugh. It was really difficult to not laugh while filming our lines since everyone is watching. Furthermore, we each brought a snack because it was a long filming session and we couldn't stop and get food. We also brought some blankets and towels just in case if it started raining. That is really much all the behind the scene actions and everything that I wasn't able to mention before. Bloggers we are almost done thankfully, till next time.

Title Research: Manhut

 In the film Manhunt they have various titles displayed throughout the opening sequence. These titles include the studio, production company, director and inspiration for the film. The titles also include where the film is taking place. The last title to be shown is the title of the movie itself and then the background changes to a very bright red emphasizing the film title apart from the rest. The images emphasized during the opening sequence are that of terrorists which sets the concept of the movie up and gives the audience an understanding of what they're about to watch. They also show documents that appear to be federal or secretive in the background with more mugshots of terrorist with lines connecting all of the mugshots and documents. The film establishes the thriller genre with the use of a serious and off-putting font. The faded effect on the font also adds on to the immersion of the audience and the use of ominous and exhilarating music. The animation of th

Our Pitch

Image
These are our pitches we came up with for our opening sequence Pitch A: A group of students plan out an innocent camping trip and begin to find out that there is something out there, something watching them the entire time. Pitch B: A family hires a personal chef, the chef sneakily steals items from their house covering his tracks no matter the cost. Pitch A seemed a little cliche to us at first but it was a very feasible idea that could still be loads of fun and really well produced. We found that it would be simpler to use effective music in a thriller as there are loads more films and media work using suspenseful music. We also had a slight plan as to where we would film the sequence, Oleta State Park. We also had the camping equipment necessary for the props and costumes allowing our budgets to be put towards other things. I also enjoy being out in the woods and it would bring the mood up around the production team. Pitch B on the other hand I found to be pretty unique and somethin
