Logan St.Germaine's Film Project 5294

     Whenever it comes to filming no matter what film it is, there will always be mistakes made or things that they couldn't include in the movie. Something that prevented films from working and caused many problems in the film was censorship so they had to find workarounds like in Psycho . These workarounds are used to make the film more mysterious as to what's going on. Things that we had trouble with in our film and ended up not being included were things that had to do with mostly props. To begin with, we wanted to use red food dye (corn syrup) in this case. The issue with that was that we didn't have enough red corn syrup to make a blood effect. We tried using as much corn syrup as we could but turned out we didn't have enough. So by just using the props that we had we couldn't make that blood-splatter effect we wanted. The solution to this? Well, when we get to the point we have to edit we can add in the bloody effect to make it look realistic. Our first idea

     When it comes to favoritism and film it is all biased and opinions on what people think their favorite scene is. There is not one scene from the film that is "everybody's favorite scene". For example one of my favorite scenes in film was in the first Iron Man film where Iron Man escapes the cave. The reason why this is one of my favorite scenes of all time because he was in an extremely rough situation. Though he was in a rough situation he found out a way to escape with a whole technology suit that he built himself out of scraps. Me and my group have filmed more than half our two minute film project. Although that may not be a long time especially to complete a full film. It is just enough to pick out a favorite clip, one of my favorite scenes from our film so far is where the goon breaks into the victims house and kills the person inside. The reason for this being is that the scene was played out well along with all the symbolism from the mug the victim was drink

     Credits are important for films because it shows all the different roles, amounts of people, and work it took into creating that film. The credits give hence credit to the people that contributed to the film in any sort of way whether it was a cameraman, editor, storyboard, actor, director, etc. The credits consist of three things typically the name, the position that was given to that said name, and the companies that the film company worked with at the end. Credits can start at the start of the film Pulp Fiction  this is typically how earlier films included credits. But now it is more normalized for credits to start at the conclusion of the movie like Deadpool 2 . In my group's case we'd want to start the film with our credits as they fade away while the movie plays and goes on just like in Home Alone . The reason for doing it that way is because we only have the intro of the film so putting the credits at the end of the intro would mean that the credits would start at t

     Film texture, film texture is used to change the look or the way a film "feels". This can mean making the film texture blue to make a setting seem cold or lonely. Gray or film textures with scratches could be used to make something seem old-fashioned like Who Framed Roger Rabbit  which has a vintage-looking film texture. Our group would want to use something vintage to create an old-fashioned effect as if it was a classic mafia to tell an old story. Similar to the Godfather  had an old-fashioned film texture almost like a VHS tape with crackling and glitching. Other film textures we thought of using were black and white to create an extremely old-fashioned film. We would want to do this so that the viewer focuses on the film and not the colors of the film. Making the film a lower quality can make it look like it was published earlier like when films first started being released to give it that nostalgic effect. The problem with this is that we are under-equipped and only

     Promotion is very important when it comes to the film industry especially when it comes to new movies releasing and coming out. Different movies have different ways of putting themselves out there whether it is using posters, advertisements, or trailers. For example, for the movie avengers infinity war, there are different posters and youtube trailers for it. This is used to get the movie out there and hook the viewer to watch the film and gain money from the box office. In my case, my group would want to create video games or advertisements because we know that this generation is extremely invested in video games. Star Wars did this by creating Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic to promote and re-enact scenes from the movie in a video game. This is used to let the viewer be able to interact with the "film" so that way they feel like they are in the film. We also had an idea of using posters that can be put up for decoration and to add to an empty room or wall. Th

     Opening scene: The opening scene in the film is the beginning of the story and can tell the viewer an idea of what the film is about. Maybe for example if the opening scene is in the school it could be about school or something around it like The Breakfast Club’s opening scene . This shows what the film is about and why I like the different social concepts and stereotypes. In my case, my opening scene will be a car pulling into the parking lot of a church showing that the film is about and around the church. The problem with creating this scene is that no one in my group has a permit. The solution we could use to fix this problem is to ask one of our friends that has a permit to help us with this scene. Another idea we have is one of the goons walking up to the victim's house with a baseball bat. This will show that the character wants to beat up the person inside and build suspense for the scene. I want the opening scene to be confusing and make the viewer think of what’s goi
