CCR Task 2——Distribution Studio

This is my poster  poster by using software on my smart phone, it’s called ‘PicsArt’, it has very good reputation, it claims to be the Photoshop on the phone. I don’t have any ‘official’ photographs to make the poster, therefore, I used the picture that I took during the shot for my blogger. Firstly, I did some research on the released Hollywood films posters, as I get the feeling and content I need, I cropped the picture into the poster size, and focus it on the details that relate to the opening scene we made. Finally, title is added on the photo. Like they distributed Parasite, CJ Entertainment would upload the trailer and other videos online, like Netflix, YouTube to attract people’s interests, Poster and photographs of the film would widely spread in Social Media, News, Interview, Magazine etc.

Shoot Day Reflection Video

Reflection of shoot day

Thursday was our shooting day, and it was a snow day, the light turns pale and blue, that helped us with the natural lighting for the cold and creepy

atmosphere. we went to Constance’s house as we planned. The reason for this location is we want a constructed room for that kind of vintage style, and Constance informed us her house where is just 10 minutes drive from school would be a perfect location for filming. Therefore, we communicated with Constance’s mother and she is happy to let us film in her house. At that morning about 9:15, we departed from the school and followed the routine Constance showed us, and we arrived at her house at around 9:30am.

Constance has already set up the scene perfectly and everything was well prepared. We took about 3 hours and made many artistic shoots which look nice in colour, lighting and composition. In this group of three students and two teachers, everyone works perfectly and tried different roles : lighting, camera, sound and so on. The shoot list was clearly classified by location, so that we made the shooting as efficiently as possible. We spent most of the time filmed in the study first. Next, we went to the bathroom to film the washing hands scene. The problem was, we did not look at the bathroom before, so that we spent some time worked around for the lighting, because the light was too dim in the bathroom, and the space is limited. Consequently, we used the touch light of the phone and bounce the light by reflector in order to make it looks natural. The most funniest shoot was the bunny scene, fortunately it was not naughty, and it never been in a cage, so it shows a bit angry which is definitely fit in our scene.

There was an accident that the fake eyes were not arrived on time, so we gave up that scene, also, as I visualized, the fake eyes actually do not fit in the scene.
We used the lamp on the desk instead of extra lighting, and we used reflector as well. 

Shoot day preparation

Before the shoot day, we print the Taxidermy book cover( Even though we decided not to use the books at the last minute). The fake eyes did not arrive by the shoot day, but that was fine, because the eyes are too small and do not look realistic. Constance stay at home for setting up the scene on the Wednesday night and Thursday(shoot day) morning. The room we film was the her mom’s office previously, and we changed it like a taxidermist’s room temporarily. Constance moves the dopine spin from the TV room to the study, and put all the tiny skull into the draw, also, the certificates of taxidermy were stick on the wall for the scene.

On Thursday morning, we had a brief chat with Matt about our final shoot list, and we took different colours of light just in case that we suddenly change our idea. As we arrived, we decided to use the lamp on the desk rather than the lights we brought, because it fit the scene very well.

Research on similar story

When I was doing the research on taxidermy, I found a real story that is very similar to our theme, which make the story more meaningful and interesting.

The Story is about a American killer kills people, and his mother who is a taxidermist helped him to stuff died bodies. This could involve in many agreeable problems, such as family education.
