Thankful 

I am really grateful for the group members that I had for this project. We gave a lot of time and dedication to making this film. I’m really proud of the outcome. Although, we faced a lot of challenges with the lighting, rearranging our schedule that way we could meet up, and with our actor. We watched a lot of videos on Youtube about the lighting which helps us a bit, but in reality when we were faced with the challenge that’s when we started to move around our lamps so that the shot would be clearer. We were often faced with a challenge when trying to correlate our schedules. Thankfully we got around it and were able to meet to create this amazing project. Our first actor wasn’t gonna be able to meet with us during spring break. One of the group members asked one of her friends, Fabrizio, Who was able to meet with us and was a pretty good actor. He made time for our filming sessions and was serious about doing a good job. We decided to change a sense at the end. We thought that it would be best if instead of filming the hanged up picture we would film him as if he was eating the heart. This was filmed using an over the shoulder shot of him moving the heart towards the camera as if it was his mouth and a close up of the side of his face as he is chewing. I had a lot of fun creating this project with my group members and I hope you guys enjoy it. The link to the video will be on one of my next posts.

First Part of Filming 

Hey guys! We are currently in spring break. I'm really glad to have a week off. We met up yesterday to film. I'm really glad that we finished most of the night scenes. We had a little bit of a struggle trying to get an actor. The guy that we had on the first pictures I posted couldn't this week so we had to get someone else to do it. One of the girls in the group contacted her friend, Fabrizio, and he was able to meet with us. We started filming around 10pm and finished around 2:30 am. Today when I woke up i was so tired but we had to meet up in the morning to film the day scenes. I'm gonna leave you guys some pictures that way you can check out how we filmed. We planned on meeting later today to finish the night scenes. This week I'm also gonna try to get part of my CCR done and if not completed at least started. If you guys are on a break too I hope you are having a good time! 

So this is what I made 

Hey guys! Today I started making the body parts that I told you guys I was going to make. I made the liver which doesn't really look like the liver in the picture that I took. Although, I folded it and put it in the jar and it looked like an organ. Funny story, I have never made slime so when I found the video of the little kid making the liver I still hadn't realized that it was slime, I ended up realizing it when I add the borax and water into the glue and saw the in-person effect. One of my friends loves to make slime but I never really did it, so I didn't know until I did it for this project. The worse part of all is that she gave me a little kit to make slime for my birthday besides the gift card and box with inspirational quotes, but I never used the kit cause it looked cute so I didn't want to touch it. I was gonna make the intestines but I decided to untangle the strings of marshmallows I was making. Instead, I decided to bundle them up and smash them. Basically, what was going through my head at that time was that it kinda looked like guts or like a brain, which would look cool and weird in the video. I'm sorry if the picture of the marshmallow makes you uncomfortable! The jars in the picture are filled with the blood that we are gonna spread around them. The liver is the slime which we will be cutting. :)

Fake intestines 

Hey guys! The other part of the body that we thought about doing was the intestines. I came across a video on youtube that is similar to what I wanted it to look like. I'm gonna post it on this blog post that way if you are ever in the mood to make fake intestines, just know you can come here and take a look at the video I found. Enjoy!

The fake liver 

One of the organs that I'm gonna have to make is the liver. I have been researching how to make a fake liver and I will be posting the videos that I came across with. The liver has no meaning behind it. We just decided to do it. We wanted to make sure we have different parts of the body in the film. These are some of the videos. 

If I choose to do this liver, I will be just painting it a dark red. I will not be detailing the parts like the Vena cava, Portal vein, Hepatic Artery, or the Gallbladder. 

 

Lava Lamps are a no go!

Hey guys! my group and I thought about it and we decided not to the lava lamps. What we decided to do instead is use the red and black dye and smear it around the mason jars, that is going to make it look as if it was dried up blood. This will give the viewers an idea that he has done this before. I think we are going to have to put it in the fridge so the "blood" can appear to be dried up. Here is a picture of how we want it to look like. 

We filmed today! 

Hey guys, we finally did it! We started filming. Although, we may not be using the videos that we were able to film today because we want to change something in the setting. I will be posting some of the videos that we will actually be putting in our final project. Right now we messed around with the lighting and we got a good idea of what to do so that the video comes out just like we want it. I will leave you guys some pictures of how we set up the garage. I think it was a really productive day for all of us. We also got to do the blood for the scenes and the heart that will be "taken out of her". 

Schedule 

Our schedules this week were a little hard to correlate. We will definitely have to meet next week to start shooting the videos and start the editing process. This week we decided what our title was gonna be and we also finished our storyboard. My teacher showed us some samples of CCR's so next week I'm going to try my best to get ahead on that. I feel like it would be best if I start now rather than later. My spring break is coming up next week and we are going to try to get most of the project done during that time. I hope you guys are having a nice weekend! Talk to you guys soon!

Title 

We came up with Blood Date as our title. We are still messing around will the font of the letters to see which one would look better. The colors that we will definitely be implementing is red and white. We want to cross out the title seconds after it is displayed. We feel that it will add a lot of curiosity and horror in the film. 

I posted three pictures of how the title of some, of the horror movies that I liked, looked like.
