CCR production ideas

Production ideas 🎥

Unfortunately I was not present for the group meetings but in this blog post I will be discussing CCR post ideas. 

1- An idea I have for one of my CCR post is a podcast. I want to create this podcast in a way where viewers will stay interested and not get board by viewing it. I will attempt to do this by adding visuals and image inserts as one way during the podcast to keep viewers interested.  To add onto this I will have a guest appearance ( my actor) during the podcast to switch up the voices and make viewers interested in what they have to say. Lastly I will add into my podcast is sounds in the background such as when the guest walks into I would add a faint sound of clapping or cheering, or is a joke is made I will add another faint sound of laughing or giggling.

2- My second idea for a CCR post is a idea I have seen on tick-tock but I have changed up the events. The video I have seen on tick-tock where an influencer goes on runs and collaborates with other influencers by convincing them to go on runs with her and interviews them. I take inspiration from this but I would create it in my own way. The way I would create it is  instead of running I would be gong on a walk to get the best shots and not have a shaky and unstable camera. I would also take inspo from  meting up with influencers when on the run, but instead I would meet up with on of the actors from my film and interview them. I think this is a good way to keep viewers interested because on top of the guest interview there will be changing scenery while walking.

CCR research 1@2

CCR post- my first CCR post is going to be a podcast. To keep the viewers interested I will make sure to include in my podcast, engaging content such as picture inserts, have captivating information that makes viewers focused, and a guest interview. 

  • The first to questions I will be answering in the podcast are:
1-How do products challenge convections and represent social media. 
  • media challenges trends on social media platforms such as,  representing social media and influencers who create marketing tactics such as videos or adds, it creates trends also such memes, posts, and other engaging videos.
  • It also represents social media by being created specifically to grab a target audience’s attention. 
2-Genre conventions 
  • They set an expectation for the whole film and create a tone. 
  • Ex) romance movies ends on good terms and focus on two main characters who have a love interest,  horror movies ends in bad ways and add suspense through the whole film with the music and added sounds.

Production post

 Production 

I started off my production outside to get all the first shots and do a trial to prefect the lighting. When working outside in the dark it is Hard to perfect the lighting and get a clear view of the objects, setting , and characters. This is one obstacle I ran into, but after a few different shots and lighting changes I overcame that obstacle. Over all I have collected many shots for my film so far. 


 This is an example of a test shot to see hoe the lighting would work in this setting and how the darkness would effect the shot. There are many other test shots that where taken to find the perfect lighting to create the best possible film opening.

Planning

 Planning- for the production of my film I am planing on where to film and what times are the best for lighting out doors. For the props the planing is minimal, any kitchen knife will work. The last part of planing will be the fake blood and sfx makeup, for the fake blood there are many ways to make it or it is easy to order online. And lastly for the sfx makeup a simple kit online will work for this production. Overall most of the planing for the production is done , and these are the last bits I am bringing together.

Character development

 Character development throughout the film 

Throughout the film the character will be in a state of panic, and fear. During her nightmare she will be in fear due to all the aspects of horror, darkness, the colors, and the setting.  Towards the end of film we will see the girl waking up from her nightmare and finally being in a calm state of mind, and relaxed after a stressful and horrific night. As we see there is not much of character development durning the film but there is a change of mood and state of mind in the character. 


Probs and costumes

 Costume and props 

Costume- the costumes for this film are going to be mainly focused around dark colors such as, black grey, burgundy and brown. The costumes are not a big part of the film but it keeps the aspect of horror and a dark vibe with the color scheme. The type of costumes I want for this film is loosely based around the gothic vibe, I will use some examples of this for the costumes. I also will use jewelry that stands out like chains, and rings that can give out the same dark gothic vibe. At the end of the film when the girl wakes up the vibe that I want to give off is a normal teenage girl, so the costumes will be a basic pajamas that will give off a soft and calm vibe. 



Props- The props that will be used in this film will give off a threatening vibe, such as a knife or another sharp object that could be harmful to her. This is what’s going to bring the horror aspect of the film together. In one of the clips I am planing to shoot it will be a small showing of a bloody knife

Audio

 Audio

The audio for this film opening is the main focus, and a key concept to add the horror feeling. The audio that I am planning to use is to create a creepy and suspenseful mood in the film. An example of the audio I would like to use is from the film longlegs, the audio used in this film creates a deeper feeling as to what is going on and creates suspense and fear. As the film goes on the sound will get louder till she wakes up from the nightmare, this is a small detail that is used frequently in horror films to add more of the horror mood. Towards the end of the film opening as she is waking up from the nightmare there will a faint sound of an alarm going off, this shows the viewers that she was asleep and makes the scene come to life and creates an understanding. 


  Ex) This is a type of sound I would use for the end of the film opening to indicate she is waking up from her nightmare. 


Ex 2) I take inspiration from the audio in this film because it added a grave detail to the mood of the film and the feeling of the film. It was a big part in the scenes that where suspenseful and overall added a lot of benefits to the film.
