Week 13

12/19

Our 20% day was on Thursday because it was the last day before the break. J.Ben wasn't there. Bailey brought her camera and some make-up and we did a photo shoot for our movie poster. One hand on the poster was supposed to be dirty looking so we put some brown make-up on Heidi's hand. Bailey did a great job with the make-up and it looked good and realistic. We went outside to get the pictures. We tried a few different locations and positions. We got quite a few and some were really good. Over the first part of the break Bailey edited it and our movie poster is now done. We have a basic outline for our trailer but it needs a lot of detail added. We were hopefully going to work on the trailer during the break and have most of it filmed and ready for J.Ben to edit during or after the break.

This is a better shot. Not the one we used though.

Week 12

12/13

So I wasn't in class on Friday because I was preforming in Beauty and the Beast. I talked to my group and Heidi said that Bailey was and trying out some zombie makeup techniques on her and a few other people. I really wish I could've seen it but I'm sure she has pictures. J.Ben said he started working on the speech for the final project. I didn't really get a chance to work on anything but I've been thinking a lot about how we are going to make the trailer. Bailey said she wanted to incorporate flashbacks and the monologue we have already written. I think it could turn out great if we got the chance to film it. Nobody said anything about deciding on a title either. Next class, since I'm going to be there, I was hoping we would pick a title and review what we have of the trailer and the final presentation. Hopefully filming can be done over Christmas break or else we will more than likely not have a final project.

Not a good pic but there wasn't a lot that I did

Week 11

12/6

Friday was an interesting day for our group. We had a few disagreements. We kept getting off topic but we still managed to get a few things done. We started reading through the script but decided not to finish because we are more than likely not going to do the whole movie. The script was a good accomplishment for this product and so far the closest thing we have to a final project, but we will not be filming it. We decided that it will be a lot easier and overall possible for us to just make a movie trailer instead of the whole film. In class we started making the trailer outline. Deciding what events and  actions should be displayed in the trailer to capture the idea of the whole film. We also decided that we wanted to come up with a new name. This took a huge chunk of time because we couldn't all agree on one. We decided that we would all come up with 3-5 and share them either sometime next week or next friday. We also came up with a cool idea for our movie poster. It is loosely based on the example attached. We liked the distressed background it had to it and thought instead of the silhouetted figures there could be a picture more representative of the film and the change within the character. The idea that's at the top of the list right now requires photoshop, so Bailey is going to have to work on editing it once we are done taking the pictures needed.

Trailer and Script opened in Pages. This is the example picture we were using for our poster.
