Title research: Pearl

  In the opening for Pearl, the beginning titles are the production studios and the star actor playing Pearl, in the background it shows a nice scenic shot of her house then it cuts to the camera panning over various pictures and dolls. As the other main actors are displayed the camera pans over to Pearl. The camera stays on Pearl as the lighting changes, the titles displayed are who did casting, music, costume design, and the production designer, before the mood changes when her mother comes in the room. all title cards stop while Pearl and her mother talk. Pearl gets told to go to the farm and once she is alone on screen it shows who edited the movie, the line producer, executive producers and who produced the movie. Pearl is caring for her farm animals until a duck enters the farm and Pearl kills it. While this happens the titles cards stop until the scene suddenly cuts to her walking a mysterious path with the duck she killed. She stops at a lake, while the last two cards show. Pearl feeds the duck to a crocodile, and the person that wrote the movie and the director is showed, the title of the movie is shown then the opening ends.

  Picking the date for the film may seem easy, but there are many factors that come into play when doing so. Depending on when we are the most available, we have two choices. Thursday the 21st of February is our primary option. This is the day where the actors are free the most. The alternative date we chose is Sunday the 24th. This will be our filming date in the case one of the actors is absent. Most of us have to balance school work an actual job work in our lives. The result being a limited time frame.

If it happens Sunday, this is not possible as I have work at day time and Mario (group member) has it at night. If it is filmed at day, it reduces the scary effect substantially. Another reason Thursday is best is because the team can meet up much easier. Transportation is still an issue, b...

The very beginning phase

   The first thing we have to do to prepare for our filming is brainstorm ideas. Making an into to a film is not easy, and requires a lot of parts to do it properly. The costumes that we end up wearing have to match the genre of the film. For instance, horror films are unique in this sense. The antagonist of the film should be wearing something entirely different from the protagonists. The killer must look scary so that the audience fears him. The other characters must look like every day people, so the audience can sympathize with them. The killer's clothing should be worn, stained, and grotesque to look at. Examples of this are Jason Vorhees from the series "Friday the 13th". He was underwater for a long time so his clothes are normally drenched and muddy. The hockey mask he wears is also weathered. Another example would be from the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street". Freddy Krueger uses a glove with blades attached to mutilate his victims in their dreams. This p...
