Planning: Other Information

Location: For the location of this project I immediately thought of two places. The two places I have in mind is my room and then the cemetary on Oakland park.




Participants: I have thought about this long and hard and have decided that I will use the resources which were given to me. I have to practice getting out of my shell more and that includes me asking for help when my pride does not allow me to. I will turn to my older cousin, who helped me with my music video, again for a helping hand. For the extras and the characters in the opening sequence I plan on using my friends and loved ones. I have not thought about the specifics yet however. Things such as who will play what role have not been spiraling in my head much.

Health and Safety: I will be very cautious in recording the opening sequence. I know COVID is real and is thriving as of now. I am trying to gather the least amount of people that I can. I do not like putting people in danger, I feel like that is very unnecessary and reckless of people. I will politely request that masks are on and distances are kept up until the moment we record.

Schedule: With the schedule I do not want to be too strict. I know that people get busy and will have to cancel last minute or show up another time and that is completely understandable. I want to get this show on the road as soon as I can to prepare for the unseen and unexpected. Nothing ever goes completely right so being prepared for a fork in the road is only a plus to my planning. A guideline would be nice though.

  • March 6~ Call cemetery to make sure the location is approved
  • March 9~ Double check sound rights
  • March 12~ Meet up with actors to check if they are still comfortable being on screen
  • March 15~Finalize wardrobe for everyone
  • March 18~ Film all of my scenes at the cemetery
  • March 19~Film all of my scenes at my house
  • March 20~Choose the best of every scene taken

Backup Plan: As stated above we as humans should plan on the unexpected. The unexpected is possible here. Whether I am not allowed to film in a cemetery or the cemetery is deemed too creepy, I am not sure. In these scenarios I would simply request that everyone meet at the nearest park instead. My backup plan is the change in scenery. Though it would dull my project, my intent would stay the same.

Genre Research: Five Flights up

 This movie is about an old couple, a husband and a wife, spending a hectic weekend considering selling an apartment they have been sharing for over forty years. The couple thinks firmly as they think of what's at stake of turning their backs on their home that is full of memories and feelings. This movie often displayed close-ups. Using close-ups, we could see the emotions of the character that was on screen. Establishing shots in this movie were found in the beginning of the scenes. Their purpose was showing where the scenes is filmed and to give the viewers an idea of the time and place this is occuring. The costumes were simple outfits that you would see in normal times. The film was centered around a beautiful old couple who were trying to sell their home. That home has been called theirs for decades but the times have changed so it is hard to stay in one place and old-fashioned when everything around you is changing. There was a moderate change in wardrobe but that would be w

Title Design Research: (Thriller) 30 Days of Night

  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? I counted fourteen titles this time around. I am starting to feel unsure as to am I counting the titles correctly. When I read the requirements for question one I thought the answers would be around 3-4. Lately I have been getting ten and over. I am a bit worried that I am counting extra credits. The credits I saw in the opening film were screenplay, screen story, produced by, executive producers, director of photography, production designer, editors, actors, music by, co-producer, casting, visual effects supervisors, production company, and unit production managers. In all honesty I started to see assistant directors and things along those lines so I stopped. That was definitely too much for me to add to the blog. 2.      What connotations do the images carry? This opening sequence put their all into it. Never have I ever heard an opening song that fits so well with what is on the screen at t

   Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have come around this block to update you guys on what is going on. Lately I have researching different ways I can improve my final task. I can recall what felt like yesterday choosing between two fantastic pitches. One pitch was about an escaped robber hidden amongst teenagers hanging out at a local mall. The other pitch was about a tragedy is reported by a girl in her diary and how drama unfolds. Despite my efforts to go with the first one I had to go with the second. As a high school student, with no source of income I was unable to fund my activities or any projects that may have come my way. Of course I would be able to buy a camera that is necessary because the camera would last me nearly a lifetime. As well as it would be a one time purchase instead of continuous payments. To add to my disadvantages I knew that I was gonna have more than a hard time gathering the people I would need. In my planning blog I mentioned choosing my actor
