The second question in the CCR to answer is:
- How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
The second question in the CCR to answer is:
The CCR is probably the thing I am most excited about, because I am going to cook brownies.
My idea is to be with a friend in a kitchen and be cooking brownies while she interviews me. We will be totally informal and the idea is to do sort of what Gordom Ramsay did with Matthew McConaughey cooking stake, but brownies in this case.
The first question is,
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
The horror conventions are followed but in a way you really feel what the character is feeling, by incorporating a lot of point of views and close ups that make you connect with the story.
My story represents all the people that suffer any abuse or anyone that suffered a traumatic experience, which is the whole definition of this opening basically.
This although is not my script, for the moment I have not written anything that I am going to say, but hacing this question answered really helps me to set the ground for my CCR, which I am going to film this next week.
The fun part has begun!
Editing I can say is one of the things I like the most. Making the perfect cuts in the right moment and really get into the feeling I want to create on the production.
I am using the colors of lumetri for the basic tone, and in some cases the blur, which in this case with the little opening, being a pov and just being awake, is neccesarry.
For some reason I still can’t upload videos, but i’m doing my best to keep showing the content.
I don’t know if showing much pictures right now is going to help to show my progress as it’s mainly the same because I can’t show the sounds or use of cuts, but I will keep working on the missing elements and try to make the best out of my modest product; i’ll keep you all updated.
I will take this first part of the editing as my space to organize and express my way of how i researched the best ways to protray the story.
I started as a normal person looking for youtube explanatory videos, that is the way I learn the most, when I came up with this video:
This video is great, as it guide me through the proper manners and also by taking into account I have a very low budget in this production.
I’m not going to bother you guys more with research, so stay tunned to see how i actually use it in my production
Hi blog, this week I got finally things moving.
My friends turned out to be all of a sudden celebrities and no one could be available to shoot anywhere soon. So, I recruited my family members, and in consequence had to change the story a little bit.
The shooting is now in my house, and the whole garage scene had to be replaced as I don’t have one, the device is going to be my phone and instead of being a group of friends, ironiccaly it’s family. The beginning scene is still the similar, with obviously the slight detail that the script and sequence is not the same.
The idea is that now, the setting is my laundry room, and the character is my brother, so I can develop my shots correctly. The antagonist will be my dad, which will be the uncle (the antagonist) of the story.
An example of the shot:
In the after process i’ll make everything darker and with more other things that i’ll show you in the next blog, for this to be the best that I can. I may have to re shoot some sequences because I probably let too much light through and it’s going to be more difficult to edit. Also, I may have to actually make up blood on him, because I thought about making the thing different and him being tied up to be kept safe, but as I am writting this I am thinking more about it and may end up re shooting the whole thing.
What’s up with the flashback now? The idea is for them to go on a fishing trip, as I already count with props due to my brother being fascinated with the sport. He’ll be ready with the stuff and they will talk until leaving to their adventure.
My next post is about the editing process which is the most difficult part. Wish me luck!
As my last resource before filming, I watched a couple videos about how to make a horror movie addictive, and I came up with this and think is the best video that can help me out develop my project.
As I try to make the character look justified on his actions, I can build up his story and also create a slight jumpscare and/or a dark scene were the villain makes a sudden appearance.
All of this, although are not direct production updates, help me guide me through all the steps needed when I can finally shoot this week, and i’m very excited to see how the final result turna out.
For the lightning, I used the following video to guide myself at keeping up with the lightning to be impolute and create the impact I want it to.
Luck has not been on out side this weekend.
We were supposed to film on friday 2/28 or the following 2 days of the weekend. Unfortunately, One of my friends had an emergency going on in Orlando and he had to leave for the weekend, so We were bot able to film antthing as he is the one with the camera and also plays the part of the killer, as he is the older looking person.
Although all the ods against us, we tried to make something out of it. I forgot to take pictures, but we set up the garage and room for the ocasion for the following week, and we now got the setting and lightning complete for when the shooting begins.
I will keep showing my progress and also explain our steps of production planned for the next week.
I am a bit closer to filming now, this week has been a complicated one. I have just been sick and getting better was tough, but tomorrow, Friday 2/28 I will most likely start filming. My team will be conformed by 2 of my actual best friends.
The movie will be in Spanish originally, but will add subtitles in order to help all audiences to know what is going on. I chose this language because it's all but specially mine's native language, and it's more comfortable to develop a script, and also for us, the characters, to really feel what is going on.
The setting will al be on a friend’s house, where he has a garage and the perfect room I am looking for the filming part.
Will probably be filming soon, so I’ll keep you all guys updated
