Production Blog

 Welcome back! I am going to discuss some of the things that were used in filming this final task. One thing I suggested to be used in this project as a prop is a scary mask as well as a black coverup and some gloves for the killer to wear to make this opening sequence scarier have the costume fit the vibe of a killer. Another prop that was essential in having for this project was a big knife. The knife would be the object used to kill the woman. Along with the knife, I suggested the idea of having fake blood. Although it is not one hundred percent necessary, I liked the idea of it in order to make the killing look more real. The outfits that were suggested for each character was different but limited because not too many clothes could be brought to school by my group mates. The two girls in the film were wearing pretty normal basic outfits that fit the idea of the movie. I suggested that Omnia bring a bathing suit so that way when I would film her falling into the pool after she gets stabbed, it would be more comfortable and fit the scene of her sitting by the pool with her best friend in the film. Although I did want a role in this film, there was not enough time in the day to film a scene that I would be able to be in and it would completely go against the storyboard. I decided to stick to filming the whole project and help throughout the editing process. There were many laughs during filming and overall I had a very fun day filming this project. It took a total of 4 hours to film mainly because my group had to film some scenes in the day and then wait for the sun to go down and film the rest of the scenes at night. Theres more to discuss so catch you later!

It’s mainly used to show what the characters are heading, and to highlight how quiet the world is, because of how loud those small movements are that we don’t tend to notice. Such as walking or placing down something on a shelf. There’s also non-diegetic sound, which is used to build suspense when there’s climax’s of action. My group will use diegetic and non-diegetic sound to also have this element. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?  In A Quiet Place the monsters that are hunting them are almost never directly shown. They’re shown in blurs and just in sound. You know there is danger, but you don’t know who or what’s behind it. It’s one of the elements my group enjoyed within this movie. It builds the suspense, because you draw your own conclusions and the u...
