Production Blog: Filming

 

Today was the start of filming. After lots of planning I was excited to begin. I and my group mates met at the filming location. The filming location was a group mates house. Before the start of filming I discussed all the plans for me and my group. I also reviewed the storyboard with them. I decided it would be best if the filming was done in order to best manage the scenes. Also the weather was not looking clear and the outside scenes were in the beginning. Everyone changed into their costumes then went to the first filming spot to start. I used a tripod that I purchased to stabilize the camera as I filmed. The filming started with me entering the parking garage on the verge of death. The other character then approaches me in hopes of helping. But unbeknownst to him I have a briefcase that has unknown contents. I ask him to take the briefcase and run. As that is happening a car rolls up with a mafia boss who seems to be looking for the briefcase. The other character runs inside and the mafia boss steps out of his car. He then questions me about the briefcase. After this he runs inside after the other character. This took awhile due to the struggle of acting. But we finally completed it and concluded the first day of filming.

Movie Conventions Blog: Knives Out

  This movie contains many close-up shots on individual character's faces. Usually mystery movies consist of close-up shots to show facial expressions of the character. Typically fear, anger, and sadness are the emotions showed. However, In Knives Out, the characters tend to have confused facial expressions because they clues they run into do not make sense to them. Also, the diegetic sound in this film is similar to traditional mystery movies because of the startling ambient sounds. For example, when the detective is walking through the house, the floorboards creek and clock ticks loudly.                     I really love the low angles in this movie because it shows me which characters are the powerful ones. Normally, low angles are used to portray superiority in a villain but in this case it can apply to the detective. Also, the establishing shot at the start of the movie sets the tone perfectly. It starts out by showin...

Title Website Research

         The website Art of the Title is a title art website that details and describes the titles sequences. The website conveys these title sequences by showcasing a major story, above this page is a search bar that allows the searcher to look for specific directors and producers. At the bottom of the page the website features stories detailing major things happening in the title design industry. This website also features classic title designs in the search bar along with recommended title screens. Another cool feature of this website is that it allows the viewer to view all title themes in a grid view. These features make the website really useful and the extensive amount of films combined with the articles written about them make this website great for researching titles. However despite all of these features it can be difficult to find movies of a specific genre which mitigates a lot of the websites pros. I believe that the website could also be improved t...
