Production Blog: Finishing Filming for our Opening Sequence

Hello bloggers, were back again and I can finally say we are done filming. Last blog I discussed our first part of the filming which came with some complications. Well the second part was far more challenging and diffcult than the second one. We had to consider how the weather was looking like, our schedules, pick the right location, etc. The right day had to be selected carefully since we need a day with clouds but no rain. Luckily, we checked the weather and encountered a perfect day for filming. That same day we met at Constanza's house and we waited until in got a little dark. When we were on the way to the park we decided to add an extra scene of us happy and dancing to some music in the car. Once we got there we selected a perfect area to put our stuff down and began filming right away. Now before we started filming we setup some rules and boundaries so we could all be safe. The first rule was to not go more than 100 meters from each other since we are in the woods and its super dark. The second rule was to keep our phones with us at all times if we do get lost. The last and most important rule was, be aware of your surroundings especially when it comes to plants and any certain type of insects. After all the boundaries has been set we went straight to filming. We were all very skeptical and shaky about recording in the woods but it ended up coming out really good. It took a while to film this since there was multiple retakes but we tried to speed up the proccess since we wanted to leave as soon as possible. We got all the scenes in a good amount of time which was better than what I expected. The opening sequence was finally complete and I am extremely proud of myself and of course my group. Overall the opening sequence came out amazing. It came with a lot of complications but that didn't stop us. Now all we need to do is edit and put everything together which will be done in the next couple of blogs. Thank you bloggers for taking the time out of your day to read this. I hope yall have an amazing day see yall next time.

Title Research: Manhut

Image
 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...
