Blog Post #49 - Foley sound effects

For the two kills of the film, I had to create realistic bone crushing and blood splatter sound effects. For this I had to think and brainstorm for a bit; what does that sound like - what would sound good/scary/fitting/ and what could make that sound. I looked back on my Robocop Foley and I decided to crumple and tear some paper for the sound effects. I started banging random items I found in my room against my nightstand or wall to see what worked. Eventually, I started getting some solid sounds from my experimenting, but these were not enough on their own. I was designing sound effects for a head being split open by a barbell, I wanted to hear the skin tear, the bones crack, the blood spill, and the barbell hit the ground after going straight through the face, that required multiple sounds layered. So, I started to experiment creating these sounds in Imovie; here is a clip I made of creating one of the sound effects.

The sound clip I feature in the video, actually ended up having 7 different audio clips combined to create the sound effect. I did not include those or choose to film those as it was the exact same process as the video clip, just repeated 5 times over.

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.
