Blog Post #18 - Title Card

 For my film I will need a creative title card, that is animated. A potential platform I could use is Imovie, I can animate my title on the platform and add effects to it, I can also use other editing platforms like VN Video Editor or Capcut.

It is important that this title card represents my film well, as it will create impressions and expectations for the film.


This is the title I have come up with so far, as you can see it is unedited/animated, but for now it is just a place holder to see what works. For the final animated title card I may use animated blood, and animated text.

Thought process - For the font I have chosen a fancy 'old timey' style - as the villain of the film is a brutal medieval Lord. I added lots of blood splatter to indicate the film will be a gorey slasher, and make it look like the title is almost coming out of the blood, or formed by the blood.  I chose to have the text and blood simply placed over a black background to make it pop out, and add contrast with the blood.

Blog Post #12 - Auditioning for "Party Guest 2"

 My film will take place at a party, where a guest is possessed. That being said I will need multiple people to attend the party, and multiple people to get killed. This audition is for the second party guest, and for one of the 3 kills(what I am aiming for) of the opening scene. Candidate 1: Mason Mattix Candidate 2: Matthew Stramiello For the party guests I am looking for how well the candidates can act out fear, and expression. After analyzing both auditions, I have chosen to cast Candidate 2: Matthew Stramiello as "Party Guest 2". He is much more expressive then Candidate 1, and truly show cases the horror he is witnessing through his body posture.

Blog Post #44 - Filming Scene 3 [Patio Party Starts]

 This is the third scene in the film where the group(Romen Basu, Cole Bryant, Matthew Stramiello, and Robert Sokoll) goes into the patio, to start playing football, and grilling. However, right as the guys start playing football, Blair's(Romen) dogs want to come outside, and when John(Cole) lets them out, they run out of the gate of Blair's house, so Blair leave to go find them.  This scene is where the friends find themselves most at comfort before the horror begins. The music blasting and them being together in a group, give them a false sense of security and safety to the dangers that lurk around them. I continued to use open framing for these scenes, leaving the audience to feel suspenseful during them. I also used the contrast from the well-lit patio and the dark backyard, to show the dangers the group should really be focused on.
