                                                                       Planning/Ideas!!


    This week I've decided to do some research before I really dive into making my horror film. Throughout the week I've thought of some ideas and I've asked my  friends to be my actors and they agreed! I will create another blog for you guys so you can see who the new upcoming actors are! Here is a video I watched that gave me some ideas for this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ5Hdflxu-I.

In a horror film we always have a threat. The threat is what the audience is going to pay most attention to and what creates the whole plot of the story. After the threat, thats where the suspense comes into play. Making your audience scared is a hard task, so the best way to do it is by create suspense which pulls them in and makes them want more. I am definitely going to create a lot of suspense in my film, this way I won't reveal the threat however I'll get the audience on the edge of their seat and make them want more by creating tension. 

Another important thing I learned is that there are always rules in a horror film. The main rule is having consistent logic throughout your story. The audience won't doubt what you're creating if every little details ties into one another, throughout the film there shouldn't be any plot holes, every detail matters. 

Those are just some things I've grasped from the video I watched and I believe those rules are very important to follow. Anyway, I will keep you guys updated on what I plan on doing next!

Week 3: First Day on Set

                                                                                       First Day on Set      Hey guys! I have a few updates for you, as you know we started the shoot of Panik and heres how things went!     First off, we started shooting around 7:30. As you know this is going to be a horror movie therefore we need to shoot at night to give that vibe. So my two friends, Kain and Nick came over to begin the shoot. In the beginning I was having trouble working the camera since this is my first time ever actually using one. After I tweaked with some of the settings I set it up on the gimbal, plugged in the mic to my phone, and began filming. Initially we were going to film scene by scene so it d...

Week 2: Story Board

  Story Board      Hey guys! I wanted to give you guys a little preview of my story board and upcoming things you should be excited about. First, we already have our film date set which is 2/21/26! Yes that's right!!! In exactly two days we will start the filming process. This means that the movie should be done sooner then anticipated which is always a plus. The editing process is going to be a whole other story because I still have to learn a bunch of thing with the program I will be using. Anyway, this little story board should give you guys an idea on what my project is going to look like.       Here is just a rough draft of what my film would look like, (don't mind my horrible drawing). If you break down each scene you can see how I tried to implement as much suspense as possible. I am really excited about the scene where the audience sees from the antagonists POV, that's going to be really fun to edit. I already have tones of ideas about the...
