Good afternoon! Today we filmed our intro for our film Unlaced, it went very well and we got some awesome shots to work with. We still have like three shots to get but we are going to film that on Thursday. Today we went to Markham Park, a local park with great places to film. We went to the famous "Hobo Hole", basically it is a tunnel that goes under the highway. We did not go in the hole because it was closed up. But we did climb up the ramp under the freeway and got some awesome shots. The one thing I did not like about today is that I had to lay on the ground and act dead, the ground was full of ants that loved to nibble on my skin. The weather today was perfect for our shoot, it was gloomy out, which is the tone of our movie. But it was hazy and it looks like it was going to rain, which it did after we left. One thing I am going to have to do later this week is find a song for the first few seconds of the film. Im looking for something like the Walking Dead theme. S...
Music/sound is one of the most important things a director needs to master to create a good film. Some directors do it much better than others. I'm going to show two examples, one good and one bad. We will start with the bad news first... This two minute excerpt from "Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice", directed by Zack Snyder is an good example of awful sound mixing. The lack of sound until the end of the scene makes the beginning of the scene boring and almost comical, look at it for yourself here . The music does not show suspense or make the villain threatening, which probably was Snyder's intention. Okay here is a better example, the film "Jaws" by Stephen Spielberg uses sound to build suspense. And it does so in a fantastic way. He uses a sting of a piano to provoke a sense of fear to his audience. Why is this important for a horror movie? Why am I showing you all these examples? Well sound is extremely important in a horror/thriller film....
