Meeting - Progressing

Today Kim and I had a meeting with Mr Henton to discuss our final ideas and plans for our film title sequence. After speaking with Mr Henton we have now decided to plan our Costume more carefully and ensure we keep our blogs up to date.

Story boarding - Horror Film - Research into horror makeup

         Today my good partner in media Kim and her amazing drawing skills set out to complete our story board and here it is, whilst she was doing this I decided too research costume and makeup within the horror genre. 

     

Jack Pierce born Janus Piccoula

Jack Pierce (1889-1968) was the legendary make-up artist responsible for devising and applying the make-up creations for Universal's classic monsters of the 1930s and 1940s. These include Dracula, The Wolf Man, the Mummies, Werewolf of London, Bride of Frankenstein, Ygor, the Man Who Laughs, and the iconic Frankenstein monster.

While there are plenty of comedic behind the scenes photos of Pierce mugging with later Universal horror star, Lon Chaney, Jr., there are very few of the make-up artist clowing around with Boris Karloff. Most of the publicity shots featuring the two of them are straight forward shots of Pierce applying make-up, or at least pretending to, such as the two top photos here.

Free Sound Example Clips

Here are a few of the clips Kim and I have considered using over our title sequence.

Mr Craddock

How to achieve a level 4!!!

The following information shows the criteria which my blog needs to meet to be awarded a Level 4 mark. This will be assessed at the start of Term 3 in January. It is something that I should all be aiming for, regardless of my target grade.

Level 4 (16–20 marks)

Planning and research evidence on your blog is complete and detailed.

There is excellent research into similar products and a potential target audience.


There is excellent organisation of actors, locations and mise-en-scene


There is excellent work on your script, storyboard, shot list and filming schedule.

There is an excellent level of care in the presentation of the research and planning on your blog.

Time management is excellent - this is clear by the time stamps on your posts.

Free Sound - Introduction

Today Big P introduced to us a website http://www.freesound.org/.

This is a great place to locate copyright free music and sound effects for your film opening.

Mr Henton also felt the need to take photos of us hard at work making our blogs BEAUTIFUL!
