Production Blog Music

 For the music each member of our group had to pick a song. We had to find a song that fits in with the horror/ thriller genre. Also incorporates dolls, a tea party and childhood elements. After we each found a song we would have to decide which song we wanted to use for the sound track in the movie. I picked the song 'Dollhouse' by Melanie Martinez.

This song would fit in perfectly with the idea for our movie. The song, the music video, and the lyrics revolve around dolls. In our movie the main characters friends consist of inanimate dolls that she treats as real people. Also the song gives off a very creeps vibe, this fits in with the horror/ thriller genre that we need for the movie.

On the other hand there are a lot of negatives about this song. For one this song has a lot of very inappropriate lyrics, and for the final task we are told to stay away from anything that isn't school appropriate. Another downside is that the song has a lot of dialogue from the artist, as in lyrics. We want the soundtrack for the most part to be silent. Also we would have to email and contact the owners of the music to get permissions to use the song for our film.

Are group came to a decision on the song that we want to use for our project. 'Melancholia' by Ryan Creep is the song that our group choose and the most optimal for our film. This was the song that Adriana choose as the soundtrack for our film. It has everything we want: creepiness, fits into the horror theme, also fits the pace that we want to film at. Now that we have the music chosen for the project we can move onto more important things to be able to make this final task work out.

 Today all members of our group went out to go get the props we need. My partner Adriana went to thrift store to get a dress. My other group partner Faith is making the fake blood that is crucial for the film. I am going to a store to try and find a suitable tea set for the film. My first idea was to go to Walmart to try and look in their kitchen section. When I arrived at Walmart I asked where I could find tea pot sets and kitchen items. Then I went straight to that section and started to look around. I found a couple tea kettles and a couple set of tea pot. But they didn't really fit the what I had in mind for the film. I ended up not buying anything from Walmart and started thinking about other places that I could go. My mom suggested we should go to Old Time Pottery. Since the majority of what they sell is pottery. So I agreed, then me and my mom went there. When we go there as soon as I walked in there was so many different tea sets. With all the options I just had to find one

Production Blog (Filming)

 Today was our second day of filming for our final task project. Everybody arrived to Adriana's house around 9:30 today. When we all were situated at her house we talked up what need to get done for the day. I talked about the setting for the second half of the film. We needed to clean up the kitchen and the dinning table for the scenes. Also we had to setup the different props around scenes. Once we got everything mostly in place we decided it was time to start filming. I told Faith to change into the costume for her character. Once she changed we started recording the first scenes for the day. The first coupe of scenes went pretty smooth, we only had to retake a few to get the desired results. Then we got to the scene in which we needed to have fake blood as a prop. Our partner forgot to bring the fake blood so we ended up having to making the fake blood. I asked Adriana's mom for any red food coloring she had and she happened to have some red. I got some syrup and water to m
