Time to really film


After the worker revealed there were no ropes that my group and I had been searching for, they gave another solution. The worker showed my group and me the jump ropes instead. While nobody was really thrilled about the idea, this all soon changed. There was a pink and blue jump rope, which wasn't what anyone was initially looking for but ended up being what was used. Everyone thought it was perfect because the colors perfectly matched the barbie aesthetic. Once this was taken care of, there was the last issue left to tackle, the spoon. My group and I searched high and low throughout the store for a seemingly large spoon, yet it was nowhere to be found. Violet, Dara, and I even went as far as asking another worker if the store had any large spoons. The worker revealed there were none in the store, only regular-sized spoons. Sadly, there was no other alternative option this time like there was with the rope. My group and I decided to check out and go begin filming before the cake melted. My team and I even debated going to another shop to look for the spoon, but it was decided that this would waste too much time, especially since there was such a time crunch that day. I paid for the cake while Dara paid for the rope and then Violet drove to Addison's house to begin the process. The first thing that was done when my group and I got to Addison's house was to set up where the shots would take place and get the rest of the needed props like spoons, plates, juice, and everything else ready. Addison and Violet did hair and makeup while Dara and I set the scenes. Then, when everyone was ready we immediately began shooting. My group and I ran into little to no problems while filming. Small issues, like Addison's dog getting in the way, arose, but issues like these were quickly fixed. For example, Dara and I would take turns holding the dog while the other would film. Unfortunately, we had to cut filming short because we had mixed up the time of the Cambridge awards night. Violet, Dara, and I previously thought the show began at 6:30pm. However, it was quickly realized that it started at 6:00pm, and if we didn't leave immediately everyone would be late. My team and I decided to continue filming the next day to finish the couple of scenes we had left while Violet, Dara, and I rushed to leave and make it to the award night.

Title Research: Halloween

Image
There are about 30 titles mentioned in this opening sequence. The first titles show the characters in the movie. Following that, comes the different casting, music, makeup designers, costumes, editors, producers, writers, and directors. The opening sequence begins with the name of the movie, in this case, "Halloween". Then, they show a deteriorated pumpkin. The pumpkin grows as if it was reverting back to its original shape and appearance. Meanwhile, the titles continuously disappear and reappear in the frame as the pumpkin grows. The images carry an old feeling and a somehow scary connotation.  The music creates suspense and some level of anxiety about what is coming next. The colors used throughout this opening sequence follow along with the theme. The use of the colors black and orange resembles the spirit of Halloween. The use of a carved, but deteriorated pumpkin, resembles something old and even a scary environment. The combination of music, colors, and camera angles ta...

Genre Research: Level 16

In the film, we noticed extreme close-up shots of surveillance cameras, pills,  face wash. We believe that all the elements that had a close-up foreshadowed something significantly dangerous for the characters in the movie. We noticed high and low angles that portrayed dominance and weakness between the characters. For example, there was a high angle of the headmistress forcing a pill down each of the girls' throats.  When the girls were captured in the camera shot it was a high angle showing their defenselessness.  We noticed a wide shot of many girls sitting down that revealed clutter and limited space in the surrounding of the characters.  Throughout the film, there were many elements of mise-en-scene. There were many costumes. For example, there was a doctor costume for a character who was the main medical personnel for the characters. There are also costumes that were formal in black. There was a black costume for security guards and one for the headmistress sho...
