WISHLIST

Last blog I talked about our editing software and the issues we encountered. Now, imaging this was a major movie production —I would say that this movie would be improved vastly by the budget alone. For instance, the actors!! I would have Kiernan Shipka. Her young demeanor and acting skills would well suit this role better than I could. For starters, she is around 5’2 and has an extremely non-threatening demeanor. She has stared in the new horror movie, “Totally killer”. Shipka would honestly be the best actor we would’ve hired for our story!!

    Now!! Costumes would probably be somewhat similar to what we had in our original film opening. Since we wanted our character to have a very relaxed state that should be a jarring comparison to what her parents would prefer. Although!! I would argue our setting and location would change considerably… I would prefer that we had a fancier home to emphasis the wealth and stature that the parents held in the community to just leave the child on a whim. I would really have liked the surroundings to have presented old wealth to the viewers. A home that would attract a killer to humble the residents of it out of his/her own sour perspective. 

These are pictures of a home I would have LOVED to use as the house of our  movie in a major movie production. 

    I think that out of all the experiences of this project the most valuable learning tools was the gruesome process of editing (we will discuss further in a future blog!!). Learning different editing tricks and techniques and learning how important sound is to film!! All of this was SUPER important to our final product. So, I would say if I had the opportunity to complete this film opening in a major motion picture my production would be QUITE different. I would say the use of a higher resolution and quality camera would have been helpful for the different zoom techniques that my partner and I had struggled while creating this film opening. The sound was also a problem. Without a boom mic or any mics… we were left with resulting in having to add background folly to most of our film opening. With a higher budget mics would’ve definitely been purchased!! Not to mention… the SOUNDTRACK. I would have included better music if we had the money to purchase specific properties of music. 

Overall, there would be quite a bit changed considering a major motion picture budget! However, for what we had worked with the film opening turned out well!!
