Week 3: Props

The Dog & Knife      We borrowed a pocket knife from Elise's dad to stab the chihuahua plushie and make the scene come to life. We covered the knife in fake blood and spread it around the dog's chest, making it look like the dog was stabbed in the heart. The Fake Blood      We mixed corn syrup, starch, chocolate syrup, and red Jello dye to create fake blood for the scene. Before filming, we took a trip to Publix to buy everything we needed, then came back to Elise's grandpa's house to mix everything together.      The Dog     We used Elise's Taco Bell Chihuahua beanie baby to act as a real dog in our film. In the scene, she repeatedly stabs the dog in the chest. Surprisingly, the dog was left unpunctured and was cleaned up back to normal shortly after.

Week 2: B.T.S. Blood Footage

Image
      We took a few videos from behind the scenes of the blood process. The first one is a parody of Wicked, I took the song from when Elphaba casts her spell (No Good Deed) and put it in the background of her mixing the blood to sort of give it a "witch mixing a potion vibe." This was taken when this song and trend was circulating TikTok, where other people would do something similar and add this song to those videos. The second one is when Elise dipped her hand into the bowl of fake blood, ready to smear it all over her face. In these videos, you can really see the texture of the blood and how thick and sticky it turned out.

Week 3: Title and Logo

Image
     Suggested by Elise's dad, "Where Dead Things Lie" was originally meant to act as a stand-in/filler title for the movie, but we decided that we liked it and chose to keep it. It has a very ominous and mysterious tone, hopefully enough to draw the audience in. The "dead things" could possibly be interpreted as the dead dog shown in the opening scene, or could it be more...     We created this logo for our title using Canva. We edited red and yellow squares behind the white text to personalize our logo and make it our own. In order to implement this image into our film, we had to make the background green so it would act as a green screen and we could remove it.      As you can see, our title card is transparent, allowing for the end scene to fade into the title while still remaining visible until it all fades to black.
