Planning Blog: Scheduling Troubles

Image
  I wrote about the search for actors in my last blog.  It was a problem finding actors.  It made all of us very nervous.  But, something made us more nervous.  That thing is scheduling.  Scheduling is very tricky.  Especially when one of our groupmates has a job.  The job is only part time, but it is hard to change working shifts.  So, when filming day approached, we had to work around his job.  His job had him working Sunday, Friday, and Wednesday.  So, we planned to go on Thursday.  This was so we could have an extra day to film in case anything went wrong.  But, what we didn't know is that our other group mate had a part time job as well.  He had just started his job and could not take days off.  If he took a day off during training, it would look very bad on him.  Usually, this would be good news but, one of the days he had to work was Thursday.  So obviously, we couldn't film on Thursday.  So...

Production Blog: Filming Continues/Music Search Continues

  Production Blog: Shooting for my film continued on the 10th of March. At this session, we re-shot a few scenes which included Carl, and we got to shoot scenes with the college scout. The actor who was supposed to play the college scout was now available so the scenes which included his character were able to be filmed. Most of the shots that we took a second take of were dialogue shots as well as closeups. The initial shots weren't bad, per say, but I thought they definitely could have been improved upon.

The scene where Carl receives the phone call from the college scout gave me the most trouble. On this filming date, I didn't have to do much as a director because the scenes with the college scout went unexpectedly well. I believe my actor is a good physical actor and the scout has limited dialogue so he was comfortable in that role. Due t...

Researching the Horror Genre

Image
 The horror genre is a well known and popular genre.  It has stood out as a genre because of its many unique conventions and clichés.  Some common camera strategies used in the horror genre are close up angles.  Close up angles can be observed in many horror films both new and old.  They are so widely used in the genre because they simultaneously make the audience focus in on a key point and reduce the information they are given about the rest of the scene.  By making audiences focus on a single thing, it increases the tension and their investment in that thing.  If it is a character, they would feel more shocked if they were to suddenly die while in the close up shot because they were so focused on them.  Along the same lines, close up shots reduce the information the audience can gather about the surrounding.  This increasing the tension of the scene.  When the tension finally snaps, it makes the audience that much more sh...
