The Look

-
    Now onto the next step, the wardrobe. The first step in doing this is asking myself, “what do I want audiences to think when they see the characters?” Their ‘look’ has to tell a lot about what they do and who they are.
    For the main character in the film, I want a comfortable, casual look. She has scopophobia, meaning she is scared of being watched. This results in her staying home most of the time, away from the public eye. While being at the house all day, she has to dress in clothes that keep her comfortable and look very casual to show that she stays alone most of the time. For this reason, I have chosen to dress her in sweatpants and a basic shirt. Sweatpants are the typical stay-at-home pants, making it very obvious for viewers that she has been home all day, and the shirt will be a single color, because something fancy would make it seem like she is going out. Since the entire atmosphere will be very dull and dark, I do not want her clothing to distract from that or to kill the mood.

The other character present in the opening will be the antagonist. The audience does not know anything about who this person is and will only see a dark outline of him through a television reflection. This means that the costume will be extremely easy. The typical thief/robber look is all black and a hat over the head with two holes for the eyes to see. However, the reflection shown will be very dark so the face will barely be noticeable. There is also something scarier about being able to see the outline and the man not caring if his identity is not hidden. I also did not want to use some cliché horror movie mask, so I am keeping this character without a mask. As for the rest of the clothing, He will be wearing all black and might be holding a knife (not 100% sure) to add more suspense.

Filming Day!

    Today was the first day filming!! Overall, I am extremely pleased with the results. With the excuse of some hilarious bloopers, the time spent was not wasted at all. Every shot was made several times to be perfected and to make it easier to edit with a greater variety of clips. The dolls with the eyes covered came out absolutely perfect. I loved the look.     With several tweaks to make sure the bedroom was transformed from a guy’s room to a phobia-ruled girl’s room, the location was great. We took some old baby photos from my eldest cousin’s photo album to make it seem more homey and realistic. I wrote MANY post-it notes to fill the walls and make it appear the way I wanted it to as well. (The blindfolded bears on the bed were created just incase and did not end up appearing in the filming process.)     Today we also filmed the bathroom scene. Changing this location was a mess. The bathroom was being remodeled, so even the wall plugs were hanging out of the walls

Group Feedback #2

-
    Today was the second group feedback session in class! As I previously mentioned, the first feedback helped me immensely and even gave me the main portion of my opening. However, most projects are almost completed since they are due in about a week. This session was more about the blogs than anything else and discussing some minor tweaks in projects that can still be changed because the filming will be difficult to adjust at this time. We began with the people that chose to create a magazine. We shared our thoughts and then moved on to the film openings. Once it was my turn, I only had my blog to show because I did not bring my computer (most people did not) so did not have the filming. However, I was able to show some clips and photographs I had on my cell phone.     I began with my blogs. I shared a couple of posts with the group and was thrilled with the responses. I have put a ton of work on this project and they truly believed that my blogs portrayed that. They said that t
