Final Task: Production

 

Production Blog

We have been unable to shoot as planned last weekend. For the entire weekend, my partner Paola Dorazio was out of town. Hence why we haven't started the film. Since she is one of the key stars, that couldn't be there. In a previous blog entry, I mentioned how I felt it was necessary to focus on a costume, makeup, and general themes. I've taken a lot of decisions in regards to my film project alongside Paola. As an example, consider my costume selection. I've determined that the lead male actor should wear a white button-up during the positive scenes and a charcoal button-up during the terrible moments. I required their costumes to have a light and dark color scheme to further highlight the mood of every other sequence. The contrast between blacks and whites resembles a classic good vs. bad strategy. More of a good and evil type of vibe and mood. For both the positive moments, we just want the lead's wife to wear a bright white flowy and floral dress, and throughout the bad action sequences, she should wear a black lace dress. We worked hard to make sure that the color palette of the costumes remained consistent throughout each scene. For both sequences, she needed her (Paola) to wear flowers on her dress to arising from information her purity in the situation. The 90s trend was simply an influence on fashion design. We're arent too adamant on whether we want to focus the whole theme on the 1990s so it forces one to care about some specifics, as far as what we had or didn't get. When we do stuff, we want to give it our best, and they wouldn't believe we'd be willing to do so if the whole intro was set in the 1990s. Since we're going on a romantic date, we like our clothes to be quite elegant. They're on a date for each scene; the difference is that one works out differently from the other. Throughout the poor scenes, viewers want it to seem that they had been making an effort with the date, but that they couldn't hold up the act any longer. And that their squabbles resulted in her lover killing her with a kitchen knife. then calling 911 only to realize he wants to cover it up instead. Yet then hangs up and realizes he knew what he was doing and is tired of playing this part. Which elevates the whole plot. As we see in such psychological thrillers like, "Split", "Silence of the lambs", and "American Psycho"

Genre Research: Arrival

Image
  I watched this movie about two years ago and fell in love. The plot, the actors, and the message were beautiful.  Very few films linger in my mind the way Arrival did. But even after several viewings, on each watch, Arrival offers a new interpretation, a fresh point of view, or a renewed perception of events. The movie questions our linear concept of time, this business of starting from the beginning and stopping at the end. But they made us ask, what if time, to suit our intent, could be bent, formed, molded? And she doesn't always have the answers in the future and always has to fill these open holes with up-to-date knowledge from the present; explanations such as the name of her husband, presenting the answer to a science question for her daughter, and how she came to receive insight from the future. In an infinite loop, the future, the past, and the present all benefit from each other. A new perspective on how we live life is offered by the message given. The aliens can ...

Genre Research: Thriller & Drama

  Thriller Common lighting in this genre is backlighting, under lighting, and lowkey lighting. This helps to create a dark and mysterious atmosphere and helps to conceal the character's identity, which adds to that suspense.  Some common camera angles are close-ups shots, which exemplify the emotions of the characters or frames an object, to be at attention. Point of view shots allow the viewers to feel emotionally engaged because they feel as though they are the character.  Tracking is a common camera movement that follows the character's action but at the same doesn't spoil the movie.  For this genre costumes usually worn by the antagonist are darker. Weapons are commonly used as props to help convey risk and danger.  The settings are normally in an intense location usually secluded.  A common form of editing in this genre is parallel editing which helps to add tension and illustrate the character's emotions.  The sounds this genre usually contains a...
