Blog Post #46 - Concept to Final Cut [Blair's Wardrobe and Prosthetics]

After filming all the scenes where Blair is normal, it was time for him to turn. In my film, the character Blair played by myself, Romen Basu, get possessed in the woods while searching for his dogs who ran off. Earlier in my blog posts I created a concept of what Bair will look like once he is possessed(Blog Post #41 [Possessed Blair Concept]) by Lord Dajti Karabash(Blog Post #9 [Lord Dajti Karabash Concept]). Here are the final concepts I had created:

Above is my Concept of Lord Dajti Karabash.

As you can see, I stayed very true to the concept art, especially in the blood application on Blair (See how I created fake blood for prastetics and practical effects in Blog Post #39). I decided to change Blair's outfit from black sweat pants, to pajama pants, to make his character look even more relaxed and set back, to create his switch to Lord Dajti Karabash even more surprising and make the character look even more un-suspectful to the audience. I also changed Blair's shirt from Evil Dead 2 to Godzilla, as I needed an older shirt, that I don't wear much anymore, and is not a very expensive shirt. This meant I couldn't include the Evil Dead 2 referance as Blair's shirt, so in Scene 2, I put Evil Dead 2 on the tv in the background.

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.
