Production Blog (Filming)

 Hey blog. This week has been pretty hectic. Me and my group filmed this week. We ended up needing another person for the film. We called up a friend last minute and got it done. We had to film this week due to time concerns. Our group mate Anthony is leaving town this week. He won’t be back for a while. This makes the project come to a halt. It’s okay though. We got the filming out of the way. When he comes back we’re going to do our editing. We still have to edit in the music. We also have to edit in the credits. Alongside the title. The girl we invited to film did a great job. It didn’t take more than 10 takes to get a good one. Overall, this week was fine. Just a little rushed. That’s all for now. Until next time blog.

Horror films are always exciting and suspenseful, with no dull moments. I personally find horror movies to be my favorite as they are the most scary

 What titles are displayed during the opening sequence? In the intro sequence of silent hill it displays the names of the actors alongside the characters that they play in the movie. Towards the end of the intro sequence it displays the name of the movie rather small on the screen in an eerie font. At the end, it credits the directors and producers of the film. - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The main images that are prioritized are the characters displayed throughout the intro sequence. The characters are first shown and then something covers their face like a tree branch for example. Then, it transitions to another character. There is more though, the intro sequence for silent hill is filled with creepy images and the entire thing is in black and white to create an initial thrill in the audience prior to the beginning of the movie. - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? In the intro alone, silent hill manages to create a thrill in
