Location and Scouting Process Desicions

 Heyy im back.. last time I blogged I left off on the preproduction. This week we are going to talk about the location and scouting process and decisions. So basically where I want my movie to be filmed and recored at. For my movie I was thinking that it can be filmed in Calfornia like most popular movies. But where I really would like my movie to be fimed at is in a living room at night. My scene starts off with Mike (Mighty Mike) having a new years eve party with his family and friends and he gets an unexpected call form his boss. While Bill (The manager) is calling Mike, he is in a hallway of an office. Then they all meet up in an empty parking lot... perferably on the top of a parking garage. Then mike and frank (Fire Frank) go on to try to complete the mission or task before new years day (12 o'clock).

 Okay wecome back.. long time no speak or blog... whatever.. so the last time I blogged was Jnuary 29 and I was talking about a Case study of the movie Extraction.. which is similar to mine. Todsay were going to be talking about the preproduction. Im thinking the first scene of my movie will be at Mighty Mike's house specifically in his living room then in a car parking lot when they meet Bill. The state that would be best to shoot in is California because most movies are filmed there and the background looks great.     If i can pick anyone to star in my movie it would be  MIcheal B jordan as Mighty Mike and not just because of his name but because i think actually i know that he would be a great superhero. not really sure who i would pick for Fire Frank or Bill as of yet. I believe that my film would look great by using different camera shots. I would also use an audio recording system to record any sounds during my production. My storyboard looks like a great representation of wh

Case study ~ Extraction

 Most action movies have the typical super heros and fighting. The point in all action movies is just to kill and to battle and other stuff like that. A movie I found similar to mines is "Extraction". Extraction is an Action/Thriller film written and directed by Sam Hargrave, Ande Parks, Joe Russo, and Anthony Russo. The goal throughout the film is to make the audience eager to watch more. This is also my goal for my movie, to make the audience want to watch my movie. The film was produced by Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Mike Larocca, Chris Hemsworth, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwern. The budget for this movie was 65 million USD. Full financial estimates for this film, including domestic and international box office, video sales, video rentals, TV and ancillary revenue are not available online. Extraction was shot by cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel, ASC, on two main cameras that are similar (RED Monstro 8K and Panavision DXL2). The film was released April 24, 2020 on netflix f

What I want to do

 Okay so what am I trying to acheive in my movie..? Okay soo, my message to all the viewers is that you have to keep working harder and harder to complete your goal even if it takes you a couple tries. A film that is similar to mines is Black panther. I believe that it is similar to mines because it portrays a strong black superhero that is hardworking and a leader. Some production companies that specialize in films similar to mine are Universal, Paramount Pictures, and Warner Boys. I think Universal would be the best fit for me and my movie because Universal has a reputation that has proven to be unparrelled back in the the Hollywood's Golden age (20s through 60s) and they are continuing to show that they are a leading force amongst enertainment.  I plan to produce with a large studio to have as much help as i can get to make my movie better than any other action movie. If I use Universal as my production company I feel as if my movie with have a lot of viewers and become popular

The script

 Okayyy, welcome back. This time we are going to discuss the script and how everything is going to work. So the film is called "The last kill". There will be a superhero who's job is to complete a task iin a certain time frame in order to level up. If failed the super hero will have to work harder and harder to complete it. I'm not sure what the superhero's name should be. I picture him as a strong black superhero that is hardworking and caring and works good with other people or superheros. In the beginning of the ilm the superhero will be out of his uniform and dressed regulary until he gets a call that he needs to come into work to do the task that he is trying to complete in the movie. I plan on having other superheros in the movie who try to compete with the main superhero (again we dont know his name yet). Alright thats enough for today but heres what i think he would look like...    But of course not exactly like that because thats already a superhero. BYEE

Changes

Sooo guys, If you didnt read my previous blogs you wouldn't have known that I used to have a group.. Naheilah and Ashley. Well I got switched out of my first period soo I didnt have a group for probably a week or two. But recently I got put into a new group.. YAY. So my new group members are Isaiah and Keiron. When I first got put in their group I found out that their genre choice was Action. Also if you did read my last blogs you would have knew that my choice was genre because I felt that it was the easiest. So we decided that we were just going to put the two genres together but after a while we thought about it and just decided on doing action and i'm okay with that. The key to working in a group is to get along and learn to compromise and I really didn't want to do this whole project BY MYSELF. So now this blog post is about the changes that were made with the project. Stay tuned for the rest of the information guys... BYEEE

Okay..the plot

 Sooo.. most horror movies all have really cool names.. so what about mines??  Heres some options.. 1. The sleepover 2. Where has all the kids gone 3. The girl For my movie title i'm trying to not go for the usual "haunted house" or something with "monster" in it. I've decided that I wanted a title that no one would ever think of. Let's go through the options again. "The sleepover".. For that title I was thinking like a group of friends that go have fun but something happens unexpectedly. Too boring.. "Where has all the kids gone".. Sounds like something true and very scary.. Like scary too the point where no one can ever finish the movie.. Not what im going for. And lastly "The girl".. Good title.. but its almost too predictable about what actually going to happen in the movie. You know like that weird girl that turns evil and goes after every one. Nah.. Okay maybe were going to need to look for some more titles.  Second op
