The final group meeting before the project is due, tension is at the max, no filming has been done yet.
Boy am I in a pickle.
Luckily I had one of the best groups for this meeting. They gave me so much advice that will help me improve upon my creation process. My partners gave the advice that I should add low-key lighting.
I have been behind in my film opening so they have given me tips for when they have had issues with filming and overall props.
I can't mess up now with all the knowledge my comrades have bestowed upon me.
This will provide future use as we don't have to scale up the monster's size with editing nor would we have to sculp a final product of the monster since; again, it is in the monster's POV. So only two sculpts of the monsters will be necessary, one for the monster slowly taking form, and the other one with legs, fin and a tail. Emphasizing the life merging and becoming one.
Another bit of advice was to film the project at around 6:30 and start preparing at 5:30 PM. This will give a realistic effect to the film shoot as the eerie night slowly creeps in, setting the tone of the film.
I also had a bit of issues with costuming as the lab coats I was able to obtain had these giant logos on them, which was completely different from the company name we had in mind. It was suggested that I create my own logo (make sure the size fully covers the logo) and print it. Too not ruin the fabric I decided to use safety pins and attach the logo from the back. Making the coat now look like an original.
The final change made to the film is that the film shooting within the forest will not be necessary as a backyard will suffice fine, as the house we are filming in is used as the lab, another point was made that it wouldn't make sense for a lab to be in a forest, it just doesn't work. So the lab remains the same, House, and the scene where the monster breaks out is the monster breaking out of the glass and running out into the backyard.

This project is a film centered around a teenage girl, who is ignoring her phone notifications instead of replying with urgency, seeming bothered by the notifications rather than caring. Like any other teenager would if they were getting that many notifications. Going about the idea of teens who are attached to their phones. It represents online mistaken identities, how digital images often mislead us.

Horror/Slasher film, typical genre conventions are at play with this film. Woods/forest setting and teenage victims. the story gradually shifts from slasher to a psychological thriller. The real threat isn't just the villain but also the protagonist's perception of reality.

Takes inspiration from the video game Hello neighbor, the film is about a kid who plays games a lot and is mysteriously cursed by his console, bringing the villains from the games into his life, haunting him. Seems to be a horror film.

Horror/Psychological thriller film.
Horror aspect: focuses on explicit, graphic and supernatural elements. Darker lighting, fast paced shots and costume designs with blood on them.
Psychological thriller aspect: using techniques like trauma, paranoia, confusion, uncertainty, and more subtle displays or elements of horror. The traumatic experiences of watching his wife's death occur in front of him to pledge him into deeper thoughts, mentally damaging him, causing him to inevitably be caught by the zombie.
Thats all, overall this group meeting helped all of us improve our films and we had a good time talking about our films.
Stay Tuned!!
