Slow Motion

Working with slow motion was very interesting. I wanted to implement a slow-motion aspect to the movie opener, but I was not sure how to. My first plan was to just film with a slow-motion filter or just move slowly. But both of these ideas came out terribly and just did not look good on camera. 

So I decided to look at my editing system and figure out how to do it there. When doing this, we filmed the scene in regular motion with the camera, then we went into the editing program and created the slow-motion in that. By doing this the slow-motion looked great, and it looks clean compared to the other shaky versions.

Last Minute Change

    When it comes to the setting of my opener, I had first wanted to use a small room with hardly any windows. The problem was that my actors and I could not find a place like that. So we had to switch things up and find a similar place.

 Since my mom is a teacher at the school, I can use her classroom basically whenever I like. Thus, we switched it to her classroom. What is nice about the classroom is that we can control the lighting system and close the blinds of the classroom. With the lighting system, we were able to make it dim in the classroom which is close to what I wanted in the other room. Also, the classroom gave us more freedom to work, and props were now easier to set up and bring in.

Setting up the set

For the setup, we got a small room that was dark with one window, but we were able to cover it. Then we're able to get a foldable table in the middle of the room and two chairs for the characters to sit in. We also got small stuff like pencils, pens, handcuffs, and cups.

Behind the set we also got small stuff for the filming process, we have a mic on the pole, one circular light, and shades to control the lighting. We also have a few cameras to get multiple angles at the same time. By having multiple cameras record at one time, it can create better cuts during editing, and also makes cuts and camera work unnoticable.

Song for opener

 For my music during my opener, I have multiple different options. There is a free to use song called Sinner by Bad Duck, that fits the exact type of tone I want for my movie, but the BPM doesn't really match the pace that I want for my song. So if I can, I want to work with one of my friends that produces music, and work with him on some songs to use for the opener. 

By going to the studio with my friend, I would be able to craft a song that I would exactly want for my opener and it would also let him post some songs on his producer page. So by me working with him, it would benefit both me and him in the process.

Fonts Day 2

 On day 2 of fonts research, I wanted to finalize my decision between fonts. The font chosen was personally my favorite, and gave the best tone and feel for my type of movie.

The font I choose was The RECKONER. The RECKONER font creates an all-around good tone and feels for my movie. The font creates an aura that is bland, but bold in its own way. While the letters are basically plain, the small details on the letters and correct sizing create a bold and suspenseful feeling, without the font being crazy.

Fonts Day 1

 For day 1 of research on fonts, I wanted to give myself different options when it comes to a stronger and bolder font, compared to an easier and more relaxed font. 

The HIGHER font is a strong font that creates a suspenseful tone with just the font alone. It also shows what the action of the movie will be like, and that the rest of the movie is going to be big and bold.

The ELEGANT LUX font creates are more basic and bland tone to the movie. By keeping it relaxed and regular, the movie comes off as more calm and collective.

Choosing where to make the set

For the set of the movie, it has to be a good darkroom with space. This room needs to have room for a table with space around it to fit equipment so the actors can easily move. Also, the room has to be bland and give off the vibe of a containment room. The room should also have one light or have enough room to fit a movable light.

Ideas for where to make the set is a garage or a small unused room in a house. The garage would be a good place because it would have a lot of space to move around and give the vibe of containment. The only downside is that there might be other stuff in there that could be caught in shots or have to be cleaned out. 

For the small unused room, it would be perfect in the sense that it would be practical in every way and would give every aspect I might need. The only problem is finding a place that has an unused and open room. Most houses use every room, thus making it hard to find someone who would have an unused room.

What is wanted in actors

 For the actors of the opener, I want the characters to be depicted in a certain way. Depending on who the actor is, can change the way the audience sees the character. Since this is important for the overall success of the opener, I want to get the best possible actors for the roles.

For the Preston Woods character, I would want an actor that can carry himself and has a strong prescience. This is key since I want to make the character a strong, leader and make him stand out amongst the rest. The actor for Woods also has to be a good talker, since the character is smooth and cocky. The actor would also have to be diverse with different skills as well and be well rounded.

For the Chax character, I would want an actor that can give off a slightly evil vibe, but also be likable. To make the relationship between Chax and Woods greater, the audience has to get drawn into both characters. Creating a good villain character creates that deep relationship. To do this I need a good actor to portray Chax and give him a good overall appearance.
