short film research: wanderer/ mystery

Image
   “Wanderer” By Mark O’ Brien and Jake Wilkins are yet another short film that falls under the Mystery/ Thriller Genre. This short film includes many elements in which apply to our chosen genre, Mystery. This short film is based on a male traveler who arrives at a secluded house around the evening time. As he is looking for shelter, he stumbles across a youngish couple that appears to be around his age group. They invite him into dinner in which later leads to the uneasy feeling of the woman.

Ideas and decisions

 Hey! Welcome back! The filming process has been set back, Once again. After all of our schedules not aligning we've had to make some tough decisions.

  Hey! Welcome back. I am disapointed to say that the filming process has been a little slow. We have however, agreed on our exact plan. We plan to film in several settings. Those being Harley's house, Barne's and Noble, aswell as Target. This also includes parking lots, bathrooms, etc. We also agreed that Me, and Franshesca would be the only actors featured in this film. With me being the main character, and franshesca being character number 2. Our actor's names will be Luna, and Ellie. As we went over some clips, we decided to retake each one about three times. Feeling as if this would give us more flexibility in choosing the perfect clip. After consideration, we decided to delete any extra clips, choosing the ones we felt were the most valuable to our production. The process of filming the beginning of the production was a lot of fun! I had an idea to do a "first pov" perspective. Aswell as an anticipation clip regarding a lead up scene. During this clip, i mad...
