Blog Post #28 - Character Name Finalizations.

 I will need to name all the characters in my film. I want the names to reference some of my favorite horror films and directors, with some names even hinting at plot points to take place in the film.

I have also decided to cast myself as the host, who gets possessed by Lord Dajti Karabash, as the voice-lines for him will be done by myself anyways, I also wont have as much screentime as the other actors, and this role allows me to have conrol over the rigs and actually performing them on set. 

Cole Bryant's character - John 

-In reference to John Carpenter (The Thing, Halloween, They Live, In The Mouth of Madness).

Matthew Stramiello's character - Sam

-In reference to Sam Raimi (Evil Dead series, Drag Me to Hell, Darkman).

Robert Sokoll's character - Bruce

-In reference to Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead series, Bubba Ho-Tep, My Name is Bruce, Hysteria!).

Julian Santos's character - James

-In reference to James Wan (The Conjuring 1&2, Insidious, Malignant, Saw).

Romen Basu's character - Blair

-In reference to the character Blair from John Carpenter's The Thing. Blair and my character mirror each other, as both of them get infected/ possessed by the threat of the film, and end up being the main/final threat prevalent in the film. 

I have also named the Dogs

Finn's character - Jed

-In reference to the Kennel-Thing from John Carpenter's The Thing.

Rey's character - Baby

-In reference to Baby from Rob Zombies House of 1000 Corpses

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

Image
 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]

Image
 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.
