Planning: Title Design

Image
 My partner and I, Nicholas Arnold, spent a lot of time deliberating what kind of title we wanted to use and what the title would actually be.  We also put much thought into how we could incorporate it into the movie opening.  Our movie's genre is primarily horror.  But, it also has mystery elements in it.  The mystery comes from the plot point in which the murderer is unknown and could be among the group.   Title we cam up with was "Among Them".  We came to this idea because of the hidden imposter among the group of friends.  We discussed different titles such as "among us".  However, we decided against that title idea because we considered it too cliché.   The hardest part of making a title was thinking up the font, font size, and color.  The best font we found was a font called "Friday 13".  It is a font similar to that of the popular horror movie series "Friday the 13th".  It's a good match to our project bec...

Production: Scouting the Film Site

 So far, no filming has taken place.  Neither has any editing.  However, we have been preparing for filming.  One of the hardest things we have had to do for this project was find a good location.  Originally, we wanted an abandoned building.  But, no buildings that look remotely abandoned can be found around where we live because of the population density.  So, we had to switch the setting of the story.  We chose to make the new setting a forest, because that is much more general and easier to find.  Or so we thought.  It turned out that finding a forest in a densely populated area was almost just as hard.  We visited multiple parks and found locations that could work for filming.  However, the best places were too far away for all of us to meet at.  Luckily, we found a park between our houses that had enough trees to look remotely like a forest.   The park has a lot of locations that we can use to film.  O...

Production: Preparing Props

One of the biggest dilemmas we have faced in this project has been finding a suitable location.  I already explained how the search was too hard, so we had to change the setting of the movie.  By far, getting over the hurdle of finding a location has been the hardest part.  It has also taken up the most of our time.  Comparatively, writing the script and drawing the storyboard were much easier.  We will probably be making more changes to our script as we go on.  Whether the changes are in response to a part of the setting we did not account for or something else, it is likely the script will be changed.  Likewise, we may have to alter the story from the storyboard to adapt to changes in the original plan.  Other than that, we are ready to move on from finding the location and making the script and storyboard. The next logical step for us would be to prepare every resource we need for filming.  One thing EVERY film producer needs is a camera....
