Film Project Research- Second Movie

Killing Ground

The first two minutes of the film did not show much of what was happening. It showed several long takes of different trees to show all the opening credits. There was incidental music throughout the two minutes and it made the movie more suspenseful. They used a crane camera to move down after showing the title and then moving down the trees. Screen Australia and IFC Midnight were featured along with being produced by Campfire Films. The budget for the movie was very low while making it but it was not stated. 11 years was used to make this radical horror film and the director knew exactly what he wanted to do. But the film ended up made $44,186 in the Worldwide Box Office. Killing Ground was nominated for the AACTA Award for Best Sound.

Film Project Research- First Movie

It Follows

The first two minutes of the story is just reveling the scared girl running out of the house and between the sidewalks. There was a pan camera to show the street and movie to the house just to see a girl run out of it. They also used a track camera as she ran down the sidewalk and this made the effect more real as she was almost "running for her life." It was a long shot film and there were not any cuts during the opening film. The opening credits were featuring what film producers were involved. Mainly "Animal Kingdom Production" and "Northern Light Films." It was produced by David Robert Mitchell and was associated with Two Flints. The editing of the featured was a fade out and in with the new company. This films budget was 2 million dollars but it made $23,250,755 in the Worldwide Box Office. It Follows was nominated for Empire Award for Best Horror and Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Sci-Fi/Horror Film Movie.

Project Selection- My Decision

For my decision our groups choice was film production. I think doing the film will open our eyes to a whole different world of entertainment. I work well with a camera and I understand all the small things there is with a camera. I will be working in a group with Rachel Peel and Abbey Kapusta. We will be doing a horror film and it would keep the audience asking. Rachel and Abbey would all be helping out and acting and I would do the camera and all the effects. As a group we would put it all together with the effects that we like and make it our own. I see Rachel being a actress and Abbey putting together all the costumes and even act in it as well. I see a high potential for this film and what it has to come.

Project Production- Magazine

There are many aspects that are used in journalism with all the research of the topic, investigation, and publishing the final piece. As a publisher you have to make sure all the information you are publishing is true because many people will be viewing it. In the Newsroom; the magazine, TMI post a lot of negative views for their ratings to come up. I understand the writing and what the meaning is behind it to catch the readers attention. The project would be challenging because sometimes I do not really use the right words to explain things going on. I could work harder on my way of words to help with the publishing. In class we have looked over many magazines so trying to find one that interest me shouldn't be hard. Magazines can be difficult but if you research enough and lay it all out on a draft it should fold together.

Project Production- Film

Film production is an interest to me because I enjoy seeing the final product come together. The whole idea of being apart of a film production makes me want to try do the best that I can. The aspect are all things we have learned in class from researching to laying it all out. Making the whole set up to try and put it all together is where the magic happens. While watching films in Media Studies I have seen the way films have come together and what the audience is looking for. I have taken a two photography classes and I am very comfortable with using a camera to video and capture the work towards the final product. The challenging part of this project is having a video that does not give to much to the audience. It might be hard to just end on something instead of telling the whole story.
