Research- 'van helsing ' film (movie reference #3)

-
There are many horror films to watch and get references from but not many showed a lot of similar characters, editing or plots and theme. I used Van Helsing as one of my references because there were a lot of great camera shots and editing in the movie. For example, the action in the film was overloaded. The angles and editing for the action shots showed a lot more character to the film.
When the vampire and werewolf were fighting the CGI was incredible. Wanting to have alittle  bit of editing like that in our film.

We don't need any animated scenes in our film, but the angle and camera shots are great to use. Close ups, over the shoulder, mid shot, wide shot, lower, and pan outs are very helpful for horror films. The filming was great and resolution was clear. Great movie to have watched and learn from.

CCR Draft #3

3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project? As the actor, my job was to create that dramatic effect on the girl when she was talking and moving. For example, I made sure to show when a moment was serious and when it was sad or scary. When talking about the missing girls and how the brother is trying to find them it created a dramatic sad affect. It was a serious moment that was sad because they were upset and in disbelief because of what happened. When I was kidnapped I showed how terrified I was and how i couldn't really talk when i got shoved in the trunk. Another production skill was that I did the editing on the film. it helped because i knew how to use the software and the editing process.

For our storyboard we had to revise it and change the layout of the scenes. Since I drew the first storyboard I resketched it and showed what we have decided to change our film to. In the first storyboard you can see the difference, it has a little bit different plot and climax because instead of me going into the water and getting wet we decided to have it where I get kidnapped instead because it was more realistic to be thrown in the back of the trunk instead of being called into the ice cold water. Not just that it was super windy again by the water and we didn't want to get that sound problem again and it was pretty cold. I believe that the scenes came out clear and better because the sound and the flow of the scenes are better. Before:  After:
