Blog Post #48 - Filming Scene 6 [Bruce Shovel Kill] Final Scene!

 This si the 6th and final scene of the opening scene, in it Bruce(Robert Sokoll) attempts to flee from the entity that used to be his friend Blair, but is knocked down, and impaled with a shovel by Blair. This scene was exciting for everyone, especially me as afterwords I could finally wash the practical blood off of my face (luckily it did not stain me). 

Above is a shot of Possessed Blair(Romen Basu) getting ready to throw a shovel at Bruce(Robert Sokoll). I did 3 angles of this shot, givng me some leeway in the editing room, each angle had about 2 takes. This was a very simple shot to film. 

Above is the tracking shot with the camera attached to the shovel being thrown at Bruce(Robert Sokoll). I did 2 takes for this shot aswell, and sped them up to look more organic. 

Above is Bruce/Robert's dummy rig, where I sliced open a bag of blood and guts with the shovel. I did 4 takes for this, as it didn't immediately go as planned, but after a-couple takes turned out good. To make sure it was gorey I did the same thing I did with Cole/John's rig, I ripped out the fake guts on camera, and did end up using that footage in the final cut.

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.
