Guess whos back

   Yes, it's me again. Jayden is back for year two of media class, if you could believe it. It has been quite a long time since I've posted on this blog. Things have changed since last year, but I am still optimistic about what the new project is going to look like. I chose to remain in A level because I seriously enjoyed working alongside my friends in a group. This year, only one of them remains in the class but I do plan on working with him. Even though the project had its slip ups, the truth is it could not have been that bad because I made it to the class. So, I should probably reintroduce myself. My name is Jayden Capuano, and it is my final year in this school. Of course, all the hard classes were assigned to me so there will be no relaxing on this last venture in the trenches of Fort Lauderdale High. I made many new friends and lost a few. Still living and working at the same places and my new hobbies are doing the dishes and throwing the garbage out. Senior year is surprisingly expensive too, considering the number of events the school has for seniors. The last three years were pretty boring though, so it is good to see more options. In terms of financial decisions, there was not many smart ones done by me in this past year. For instance, military collecting became a huge part of my life. Due to this, my pockets are not very full and since this year I'd like to make a good short film, the budget will be right. It's time to meet some acquaintances who are likeminded. That will help a lot in this new journey. Well, you're pretty much caught up in the world of me, signing out.

Setting up the date for filming

  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. Thursday is the best option for a few reasons. One being the fact that we can record at dusk and night time. This is perfect because we want to make our horror film during "scary hours". 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

Image
   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...
