Group Chat/Final Decisions


Today my group and I decided to skype because we are all in different places during spring break. We collaboratively decided we needed to shorten our film, because it was going to run over the 2-minute mark.  My group and I had a total of 5 scenes planned out, but this would take to long to film, so we decided to cut some parts of the first and second scene because they are not as relevant and meaningful as the other scenes. In a full movie these scenes would be very important, but because we only have a 2-minute window we cut out some of the intricate details we had planned out for the first scenes such as the main character getting ready, forgetting to lock his door, and the car having warning blinkers. All these minor details would mean something later in the film, but we have to cut them out. Cutting out these shots allows us to combine scenes one and two to make it into a less than 30 second first scene which gives us more time to film and work on our important or action scenes. Later my partners and I will be uploading a revised film outline where scene one and two and combined into scene one and slightly shorter second scene because it also contains irrelevant details that we do not wish to include in our film.  My group and I will then combine all the film outlines together and make a final film outline which will be our official film outline for our film opening, we want our film outline to be detailed as possible because we do not want to run into any issues while filming, we want to know exactly what we are filming, where we are filming it, and why we are filming it. All these factors will influence our final film opening. I am super excited to start filming because I think our end project is going to be amazing.

Antagonist

    In class, my group and I have begun to discuss who are characters are going to be, specifically the protagonist and antagonist.      After doing some research, I have found that there are  4 main types of villains. The evil villain, who has purely malicious intentions; the everyday antagonist, who simply opposes the main character and is not necessarily evil; the immoral entity, such as a totalitarian government; and the internal struggle, which would be an element of the protagonist itself. In our case, we find it best to use the evil villain as our antagonist. It is a horror movie, after all, and nothing strikes fear into the minds of people like a ruthless, senseless, killer.           For his backstory, the antagonist would have come from a rough family, where he dealt with great emotional trauma. The antagonist has a very dark soul and will show no remorse for his victims. The killer will be very mischievo...

Music Analysis/ Ideas

I believe all horror films need some sort of music that keeps the audience on edge, for example every time the audience here’s a certain track playing, the audience knows something bad is going to happen soon because every time you hear the music something bad happens to a character. My group and I decided we are going to make a short little track to use once or twice in our film opening to put the audience on edge. Our inspiration for this is Psycho (1960) in this film there was a soundtrack of ‘stingers’ which were made with violins being slashed very hard to create a eerie noise that would bring up all the nerves and butterflies each time you heard it. This tactic has now been mirrored in countless horror films as this certain noise created by the violins just creates the creepy vibe that makes the hairs on the back of your neck spike up. I plan to record this track on Audacity which is a recording software I have had downloaded to my laptop for a while now, Audacity has all the t...
