Locations

 Because we're just making the opening of the film I'm not planning on moving around too much because it's just the introduction to the film. The areas I chose in which to film are going to be Markham Park and also my own house.

The Markham park bike trails would be an optimal location where I film with the correct ambiance and tone I'm trying to develop. With all the shade and spooky lighting, it should develop well the ambiance of the film and the suspense trying to be formulated. The shadows and dark color scheme of the background develop an omneous and suspenseful environment and if we tie it together with the situational environment it should be used as a harbinger or foretell that something is awful is about to happen.

In order to incorporate the setting, we also have to discuss a little bit about costume design. The costume design of the film would be a dark color scheme other than a white shirt. The rest of the colors would be dark brown, brown, blue, and darker colors to develop a darker tone to the film. Her in the into I'm really trying to develop the opening that should funnel into the rest of the film and how suspenseful the film will be. The overall point is to try and develop suspensefulness in the opening and develop it thought the rest of the film with the opening.

Before we enter the house I would like to develop a few establishing shots of where we are going o have our protagonist Luci spend most of his time within the opening. The film deas will be posted in another blog post about the continuation of the storyboard. The opening sots will include a full shot of the house or little snippets or clips of parts of the house to develop the feel for the house. Then the protagonist walks in and goes straight to his room closing the door behind him. Hopefully, with the few establishing shots, we can develop a calming ambiance and a switch of pace from intense and death to warm and welcoming and a safe space for Luci to express himself and his lifestyle.

With the use of a few mise-en-scene elements, I can develop Luci's true feelings and emotions about the love he still has from his father in his room where he will spend a good amount of time planning and researching. In the picture above is a hammock and its true representation is about how his father would sometimes spend the night in the woods and this used to be his hammock that he passed down to Luci and he cherishes it by hanging it up in his room. What makes the hammock stand out is that usually we see hammocks outside or in the back yard or hanging by a tree but Luci installed it into his room so he could never forget about his father. Lucis's room will also include a crazy board and maybe a few more elements in which will be able to develop Lucis true nature in just the beginning or leave clues that the viewer may have to piece together.

This is mz signing off for the day ✌ out
