Shooting Process

-

 Today we finally got to record. We got everyone together and went to Markham Park and found our spot. We decided to shoot out of order so that we could get everything done along the way and finish faster. We made sure to bring all of our props and costumes to represent each person's character.




we went around 5 so that the sun would be a little lower to create a grim mood. we spent around 2 hours shooting and got as much done but the park closed so we had to leave we will go back another day this week so we can finish shooting and make sure everything is perfect. We still have to shoot the school scenes as well making another day we need to schedule to finish. A problem we ran into is that we couldn't find any fake blood therefore we had to shoot the scenes of alex getting stabbed so you cant see the blood. We will try to see if we can edit it in post but we don't know yet if we can.

Today we are still working on editing. We are more focused on touching up our project and making sure everything looks smooth and put together. Yesterday I got almost all the clips together. Now I want to work with some FX. Since we are making a slasher movie, I want it to be dark and eerie. Right now I am learning how to add a color filter over the intro to make it dark and learning how to add a vignette. I think this makes the movie create the desired tone and feel of a horror movie, which plays perfectly. My partner, on the other hand, wants to make everything vibrant to make everything look like a fever dream and create a sense of anxiety within the viewer. She got this idea from the movie Suspiria. This allows both of us to take completely opposite approaches and see which one we like more to create the best possible project.

Media theory

In our movie intro, we would like to integrate the genre theory. This theory basically is a way of categorizing things into groups based on shared characteristics. It can be used to analyze a variety of media, including literature, film, and writing. The main genre characteristics we want to use are from slasher horror movies. So things like jump scares, stings, and a lot of moments that leave the audience tense and on the edge of their seats to have that slasher feeling. We want to create these similarities to tend to our main audience. This audience and demographic are going to be people who tend to enjoy slasher films and those adrenaline-pumping scenes. Therefore, we are going to integrate this aspect to keep a familiar look to the opening and create something that horror fans alike can enjoy.

Today we are starting our editing, so we created a Google Drive folder where we are collecting all the clips and pictures together so each director can pick and choose the desired clips. we are going to each make our own edit and decide which is the preferred edit. Right now we are just choosing clips and putting everything together to create our base story. This takes a while because I like to analyze every clip clip to determine which one I like the best to make the best product possible. We also have a lot more stuff to do with editing, such as FX and sound, to make everything come together and fit nicely as a completed project.
