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 the research is clear and that I was able to fully explain every little detail and why it is the way it is. I could not have heard any better news. No one gave me any changes to make. I am always looking for some constructive criticism so I was hoping to receive some, but it turned out that everyone enjoyed it, so I cannot complain. The main topic that kept arising was my partner leaving, but I shared that I did not let it stop me and that I have remained on track.
    Most of the randomly chosen group that I was with had magazines, so I did not have much to compare my project to. But, I was still able to see the other blogs and search for little things that would make mine better. I will make the necessary changes to improve the background and settings for the best, easiest-to-use display. Since my entire project has been based on horror and overall “creepy” research, I want to make sure that my blog portrays that through dark colors and a more plain, mysterious look. Overall, this feedback session helped me in confirming that my hard work has not been for nothing, so I would say I was pretty happy in the end.

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

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 o
