the plan

 

Props:

Since this is a "murder" oriented short film, our props would include:

  • a fake vital/pill of "tranquilizer" 
  • mens shoes to act as "Ben's shoes"
  • a trash bag as a "body bag"
  • zip ties
  • fake blood
  • handcuffs

Schedule:

1/28/23-2/11/23: film all scenes, this will be easy to get done on the weekends of this time frame due to most of the set being at Felipe's house, giving us this big of a time frame will allow Felipe and I to make sure our work schedules do not conflict 

2/12/23: start the editing process


Location List:

Our main location is Felipe's apartment building. His apartment itself would act as "Lily's house". His recreational room lounge area would act as "Kaya's house". There is a creek in my neighborhood that we will use for the scene where we "dump the body". There is an empty parking lot across the street from my house that we will use as the "police station parking lot".


Backup Plan:

If something happens and for some reason Felipe or I are not able to film on the weekends, we have set aside days during the week that our work schedules do not conflict (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday). This allows us to be able to film on these weekdays if somehow we are not able to get all the filming done.

  First Scene The main male and female character will enter the clubhouse room as camera tracks them from the front. In this shot the camera will be eye level. The characters will be picture wearing trendy streetwear. This scene will correspond with the instrumental opening of the song. Second Scene This will be introduced by a fade in where the characters will be relaxing and watching TV. This will be from the TVs perspective in which the main characters will be exaggerating their reaction to the content. Third scene The two main character's will be shown playing pool together and having a good time when the girl has to go. Then the two characters will agree on meeting for dinner later. This will all be shot long in order to capture all of the characters without any camera movement. Fourth Scene The male character will walk the girl to the garage say their goodbyes with the scene concluding with the door to the garage closing. This shot will be a medium long shot that follows the ...

Genre Re-Adjustment: Project Blog

Image
   Our group realized minor flaws in our film as we continue through this production process. The biggest issue that has come to surface is that our genre isn't represented as well as we thought it was going to be. I did not think this was going to be an issue at the start. In fact, I thought the mystery genre was the perfect fit. As I am watching how the production is unfolding, it seems as if our problem is that we can't necessarily get the feel of a true mystery film in our 2 minute clip. This means, our film's conventions don't completely align with those of a real mystery. I still believe that it can fit the genre, but giving it the title of a mystery-thriller would be more fitting. The camera angles and movements used in our film are those typically used in mystery films. For example, we use extreme close-ups on objects to provide a mysterious feel about them. Also, we use low and high angles to show superiority and inferiority in different characters. On the othe...

Our Pitch

Image
A person receives a briefcase and is unaware of its contents, unbeknownst to him he is being followed.          This pitch has great potential because of its ability to harness the unknown and be action packed in a short period of time. The pitch also conforms well to the settings we have available due to our access to the urban setting. Furthermore this pitch doesn't require props inaccessible to the group making it a great candidate. However, this pitch struggles with a lack of dialogue and it will be difficult to facilitate conversation throughout. I believe that despite this the pitch's positive aspects outweigh the negative ones because its exciting and is mysterious. A natural disaster knocks out the power in a city, forcing an evacuation but for one man something goes wrong.     This pitch has potential for success because the story presented has a lot of versatility and can go in many ways. The pitch also works well because it adheres to the am...
