Planning: Title Design

  Hey blog! Today we are starting the planning process of our Final Task! 

The font we chose to use are Old Typewriter and Cold Night for Alligators from the website Dafont.com. We wanted to go for a creepy vibe so we chose these two fonts because they succumbed our expectations. Old Typewriter had a very eerie look to it which went with the theme we are trying to achieve. We loved the old look to it because modern typewriting fonts look too clean so we wanted more of a messy look. Our second font was Cold Night for Alligators, despite the interesting name, it had a perfect look to it. 

The background of the title design is black and the words are bright red. We used a font that looks like dripping blood, hence the red color. The font size is 170 and is in all caps so it appeared to be really big on the screen. We wanted to enhance the feeling of horror and let the audience know right away that this is a horror film. 

The title of out film is Wake Up. We have had this name idea for a while because it matches with what our film will be about. I doubt it will be changed but we never know what will happen. Each title will stay on the screen for about 3 seconds, long enough for the audience to read it. They will show up as a fade in and will fade out. This is to give off a suspenseful feeling and to make the titles flow. The main titles like the film title and the name of the director will be at the end of the opening sequence because they are the most important. Both of the main titles will be one the screen at the same time. "WAKE UP" will be above "DIRECTED BY KYLIE KEENAN" in much larger font.

Movie Research: M3GAN

   1. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?    M3GAN incorporates many elements that our group has chose to base our final task on. For one, it stars a lonely young girl, who seems to have lost everything. The movie seems to have the perfect amount of suspense, which will 100 percent be used in our project. Darker lighting was another thing that stood out during this movie, adding to the skeptical feeling of the audience. Our final task will be heavily based on all of these conventions, which M3GAN seems to incorporate well.    2. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like?    Although M3GAN is a horror movie, it still uses comedy. Sometimes rather dark, but appealing to the audience as it reassures them that it is still something that they should enjoy. We are also a fan on how it has a deeper meaning than the one presented, which is how to deal with...

Filming Blog: Scenes 6-12

 Hey, blog I'm back. Today I filmed scenes 6-12. Today was my first day being on the other side of the camera. I was very excited and thrilled to be able to get some experience in being in a short film. My role is the killer/stalker of the protagonist. In the first scene, my character is in you see me lurking in the shadows as Rowyn is going on her run through the neighborhood. This scene was hard to film because it was hard to keep composure during this scene. But, we ended up filming this scene and moving on. I appear later on outside of Rowyn's window leaving a mark on her window. This scene was fun to film because we used fake blood and I had to submerge my hand in it. That was a weird experience but I'm glad I've been able to do things like that and try new things such as that. I was able to be very productive today because of collaboration with my group members. I am very proud of my group for being as productive as we were today. Today was by far the most demandi...
