Casting

Characters-

     The film opening has in total 4 characters, 2 have a physical presence and the other 2 have are only heard via voiceover. the number of character being so minimal was done intentionally due to the fact that I knew I would only be able to work with one actor. so, what will come apparent is that the character were made to fit the certain characteristic of the actor I will be working with.

Physical Actors-

SCOUT-

·         A demonic clown that has possessed the last owner of the butchery.
·         His appeal is pretty typical butcher
  • ·         Blue jeans
  • ·         Plaid red and black flannel
  • ·         Bloodstained white apron

·         His face is partially transformed into a demonic clown.
  • ·         Ripped jaw
  • ·         Soulless eyes
  • ·         Rainbow afro

·         His intentions went from selling the food to killing and packaging the human parts for the thrill of it. He appears very powerful and robust.


ADAM

  • ·         The kidnapped victim that is being prepared to be dismembered in the opening
  • ·         He is wearing a white shirt, with an opened up black dress shirt.
  • ·         Is face is not visible except his eyes as his head is cover with a  burlap sack
  • ·         He has a visible gun shot wound on his right shoulder
    • He appears very scrawny and confused.

Voice Over Actors-

Radio Broadcaster-
  • Has a somewhat deep voice, speaks with a lot of power and is very confident but find himself getting bored when talking about topics and is shown in long dialogue. he tries to combat this by bring in a bit of stale humor
Police Chief-
  • Has a somewhat deep voice, but sound very nervous when talking about incidents as he is afraid of how people will take the news he is force to relay as police chief, thi can be seen as he is starts to stutter a bit and slow down and and over analyze his words.

Casted Actors-
Anthony Alonso
I casted my self for the voice of Police Chief because of that fact that I couldn't find anybody that was able to do the desired voice that I had envisioned for the character. So, to save time from searching for someone I took matters into my own hands and did his voice the way I wanted to. Also, I played the role of Adam and Scout for shot for 2-shots where the character  was playing face was not visible to the camera due tot he similarities in appearance to the other actor.

Ruben Gonzalez
Ruben was casted for the role of Radio Broadcaster because when I tested his voice with a couple lines he was able to give the perfect delivery that I was envisioning. I also asked him as the main role of Adam and Scout. There are two main reason why I chose him for the roles. The first reason is because of his appearance being so similar to mine. This was going to be a very important thing to get as we would be taking turns being the same character in parts of the film and I need there to be as little of a difference in silhouette for it not to look out of place. Also the fact that the room was offered at his house film he was an ideal actor for the film.

Use Of Conventions

Conventions-      The project uses a variety of conventions but two are prominent. In the project, multiple mid shots were used primarily to help establish the shot and situation, but other than than that the majority of the shots are closeups. This was done both intentionally for two reasons one is due to limitation of  space on the location I was filming the project, but mostly it was one of the ways used to build suspense as it reduced what the audience can sees, putting them in the moment and leaves them clueless on what going to happen next. The second, convention heavily used is the the use of incidental music as it really helps to build atmosphere and suspense but helps with pacing. In the first edit of the film, i didn't have any incidental music and the film just dragged on because as in the parts with no dialogue it just dragged on. It's important to mention that a convention that I challenged in the project it instead of having long drawn out takes to ...

Quarter 3 Submission /Revisions

Image
Quarter 3 Submission   For my Quarter 3 Submission, all the revisions from the Revision/Feedback Post were completed. At first look, one may notice not much change. This was due to the minimal touch ups that were done. One of the main edits that where done where with the opening credits. The font color was changed to something brighter to make it more visible. this didn't work so i decided to add a black outline to the font to make it stand out from the image. The audio in the beginning when the radio it being turn up has been made to increase in volume to actually make it seem as if it was being turned up. One change  not mentioned that I quickly changed back after I altered it was to keep the letterbox bars. I kept them simply because I thought they were visually appealing. I know that to accomplish the letterbox effect all that need to be done is to change the resolution of the sequence but for some reason it wasn't letting it me do that to the footage I collected so I...

Feedback/Revision

Feedback/Revisons- From the screening of the first cut of the film, the response was overall very positive.Everything was conveyed the way it was suppose to, successfully obtaining the response of  horror (disgust) and a bit of stale comedy towards the end. All the feedback was very similar, in regarding to fixing up the audio. It wasn't that the audio wasn't clear, but that I implemented a way to consistent clicking noise  that was too prodomentiant as in loud making the radio affect loses it believability. This an easy fix as in the audio program I was using to create the effect ,Audacity; i can simplify reduce the frequency of the clicks lowering the overall decibels of the clicks drowning them down but still have them be hear to give the illusion of a cracking radio. Another problem with the audio is that when Scout reaches for radio to turn it up the audio doesn't get louder so this can be fixed in Premiere by setting a read and write of the audio when the Scout tur...
