Blog Post #34 - Animated Title Card

 Not very long ago, I created my stand in non-animated title card for my film in Blog Post #18. After some more consideration, and working out the script to understand the narrative further, I have created a final title card, I intend on using in the final cut of the film.

Original Concept Title Card

Thought process on final animated title card - I chose an expanding title, to make the film seem grand, and had the title color change from red to white, to simulate bleeding. I chose the font "Evora" as it is intense, and in the color red, looks like it was written in blood; alluding to how this will be a brutal film. I wanted a techno track that I could play during gorey and intense scenes in the film, so I decided to use the instrumental track of Korn's Twisted Transistor, which I may continue to use bits of in the final project. I also chose to have the background split open, as if it is getting ripped in half, rather than have blood drip down, as after trying both effects I noticed the split in half effect integrated the title into it more. I also chose it as it seems as if it is getting cut or ripped open, displaying more of the film's gore.

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]

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.
