 It was our first day of filming! I was really looking forward to getting together with my group members and making all of these amazing plans and ideas a reality. Before the official filming day began, I spoke with my other group members and we planned out the day entirely. We all are very busy and have lots of things to do throughout the week, but we managed to find the perfect window of time to film. On filming day, everyone else was free the whole day but I had a soccer game. They all gathered at Nicole's house earlier in the day and made sure everything was ready to go when I got there. I made sure to check in with them every chance I got. I also prepacked my costume and all the other supplies I was bringing to set. After my game finished, I hurried over to Nicole's house so that we could get to work. When I got there, I was all sweaty so I took a quick shower and changed. Once I was finished we began the actual filming process. I made sure to be involved in all aspects of

  This sheet introduces and establishes some of the characters who will have a roll in this story. It begins when the girls are exiting their car and entering the main character's (Grace) house. Then the setting is moved to Grace's bedroom and continues there for the rest of the scenes. We do not use props in the first scene, but they will be used in subsequent scenes. The characters would be wearing ordinary day casual attire. Some camara angles and movement present in theses six scenes are wide shots, medium closeup, full shot, eyelevel, and tracking shot. We will also be using editing techniques like zooming in and out to enhance details. There are a total of two title names within these six boxes.  These are the names of the actors, name of the studio and name of the production company. This sheet will introduce the twins, who are the characters that bring the thriller aspect. The scenes portray on the sheet (scenes 2, 3, 4) take place in many locations inside and outside t

  Some of the fonts we were planning on using in our film include Alta California , IM FELL Double Pica SC, and Juniper Std. For Alta California, we would use it when we show our names. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Hannah and Mila.” It is a sticker-like decorative font that has a rugged look to it. It relates to the film we are creating because it is a story about a girl who has a rugged life and mentality. Also, the font has a youthful feeling attached to it which correlates to how the film is made about teenagers. It also has a scary and mysterious feeling to it, which matches the overall tone of the film. It relates to our thriller genre and emphasizes the mood that we are trying to implement.  For IM FELL Double Pica SC, we would use it for the title descriptions. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Edited by.” It is a serif small caps font with a rugged, traditional, and sophisticated appeal.

But during our scene where our actor falls to the ground, we will provide a cushion to land on and make sure there are no sharp objects around. We will not use any dangerous material/props. We will take breaks when needed. We will provide everyone involved with plenty of food/drink.   Schedule:  On 02/28/2022 we will plan out our production proce

  There are about 30 titles mentioned in this opening sequence. The first titles show the characters in the movie. Following that, comes the different casting, music, makeup designers, costumes, editors, producers, writers, and directors. The opening sequence begins with the name of the movie, in this case "Halloween". Then, they show a deteriorated pumpkin. The pumpkin grows as if it was reversing back to its original shape and appearance. Meanwhile, the titles continuously disappear and reappear in the frame as the pumpkin grows. The images carry an old feeling and a somehow scary connotation.  The music creates suspense and some level of anxiety about what is coming next. The colors used throughout this opening sequence follow along the theme. The use of the colors black and orange resembles the spirit of Halloween. The use of a carved, but deteriorated pumpkin, resembles something old and even a scary environment. The combination of music, colors, and camera angles takes
