Permission

I realized that while I know I can film in the park during the day, since I've done so in the past, I need to know if it's okay for my crew and I to film in Markham Park at night. This is the perfect location for me to film my shots in. Not only does it have the right atmosphere, (as previously stated) it's also close to where I live, which makes it convenient for my crew and I as far as traveling goes.

But the last thing I want is be halfway through filming and be told that I need to go somewhere else film. I'll give the park a call see if we're allowed film at night or not. For the time being, I think I have a decent plan B if it comes down to it. There's a small clearing with a couple of trees inside my neighborhood, that would be okay to film in. However, it would definitely be downgrade from my original vision.

Film Discussion

My Media Studies class today had a class discussion to help us gauge our progress on our Foundation project/video. The class got split up into groups made up of people that aren't helping us in our projects. Each group being made up of about 5-7 people each. We listened to each other's plans for the project and gave advice and criticisms as to what their project was lacking and what to prepare for during the production phase. I would say that while my project has a solid vision and foundation to build off of, I still did learn a well of useful from the discussion. Like how I should consider a slow pace to build up the suspension for the beginning. Or how I should plan out the lighting since I'll be filming part of the video in the dark. And to record room audio of the outdoor noises to help improve the audio quality of the video. Needless to say, I gained important insight on how the production of the video should go.

Plague Doctor

The most original and distinctive mask I could realistically make for my villain was that of a plague doctor. It's such an unusual and rather well known part of history, that is surprisingly under utilized in the world of modern horror. I can't think of any horror movie off the top of my head that had a plague doctor as a main or side antagonist. Their entire existence is surrounded by this ominous cloak of death. There's nothing settling about the appearance. Thick clothes made to protect themselves from the outside world never showing an inch of skin, except for their hands and face. Hands which would be covered by rubber gloves and the last piece of humanity showing, the face, would be covered by that surreal, otherworldly mask. It all comes together to make a threatening antagonist. Making a costume like this won't be easy, but it's a challenge that I can overcome.
