Production Blogs- Costumes and Props

-

Today, I made a list of the items I needed to get for my final tasks. When making this list I made an adjustment to the mother's costume where I switched the hat out for a veil instead. I'm now going for a dead married couple look now. This is to symbolize the parent's unity even after death. After making my list I googled where I would be able to find these things. I found that Party City had most of the items I needed and I figured that I would get the rest another time or later on. So I went to Party city to buy the props and costumes I will need for my final tasks. The first thing I looked for when I got there was a black plastic hat for the dad's costume. I was originally going to buy a fake beard but I only saw brown beards and I wanted black facial hair. So I just bought a fake mustache instead because they had them in the color black. Then I found a white veil for the costumes for the mother but I was looking for black. So I asked an employee if they had any veils in the color black and they didn't so I just settled for the white one. After finding the veil which was white, I realized that I should probably get a white hat for the dad's costume to match with the mother's white veil. So after looking around for a few I finally found the white hats and there was only one style to choose from. But I didn't like how the white hats looked because they looked more like cowboy hats. So I just chose the black hat instead. Besides, grooms wear black at weddings often so it didn't matter I would still be able to achieve the look I was going for. The mother's and father's costume is supposed to resemble their 'wedding outfits' in a way but almost like the after death version. So I got these three items from Party City and headed to Publix afterwards to get a candle to use as a prop. Unfortunately I was unable to get my picture frame today but I plan to get it this weekend at Michaels.

Title Research: Insidious

The titles displayed during the opening sequence include the name of the studio and production company. Next the film displays the actor names, film title, casting by, music by, costume designer, edited by, production designer, and director of photography title. The next titles shown are the produced by, executive producers, written by, and directed by titles. The image of the boy sleeping in bed is prioritized. The image of a demon's face is also prioritized. Images of their living room with moving boxes is also prioritized. Then images of the stair case is prioritized.  An image of a baby's crib in a room is also shown. The image of the boy was one of the first images shown, and was prioritized probably because he's going to be victim or a main character. Then prioritizing the demon's face reveals who the villain is and that there may be people getting possessed in the movie. The image of their living room with the moving boxes is probably to give the audience an idea...

I was supposed to record scenes 5 and 6 this weekend but due to the weather I was unable to.  It was raining all day on Saturday, so I did not record the scene that day because the roads were slippery and I was prioritizing my safety. Then on Sunday, my parents weren't available to film from the passenger seat that day. And my permit requires me to be accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years old in the passenger seat while driving. So I hope that I'll be able to film scenes 5 and 6 some time this week, maybe Thursday or Saturday I'm not quite sure yet. I'm just trying to get these two specific scenes filmed as soon as I possibly can be I do believe that they'll be the most difficult to film. I was also trying to film scene 7 on Friday but I couldn't because I needed to move the couch to in front of the tv. But I couldn't because the living room space was pretty crowded with just large boxes so I decided to hold off on filming that scene until this sp...

Genre Research: Drama

-
This is a powerpoint that covers the conventions we see in drama. In this powerpoint I stated a common lighting in drama, natural film lighting, and I also included an example. I listed a common camera angle in drama with a picture example. I also listed a common movement often seen in drama along with an example. Then I listed the common Mise-En-Scene in drama with examples. I then listed the elements of drama. I included 3 example films of drama. I also included the common sound in drama and an example video. I got my example video from YouTube. Inserting this video into my project was not very easy at first. But eventually I figured out how to insert videos from the internet into a PowerPoint. I listed what elements of drama that I liked. I also listed what elements of drama I did not appeal to me. I used transitions between my slides. I also had a dramatic song playing throughout the project. All of the pictures I used as examples in my project I got from google. This project helpe...
