Blog Post #33 - The Killer's Blade

 The weapon is a vital part of a killer in a movie, Jason with his knife, Leatherface with his chainsaw, and so on. My killer will have a blade coming out of his wrist, as i planned out in blog post #1. In order to safely and easily design this weapon, the start of it will be hidden under my sleeve, and will be wrapped around my hand— such as so. 


To reduce the cost of making this weapon, I will be using a 3D-Printer in order to create it. I designed the file for this model in Tinkercad, and due to the size restrictions of a 3D-Printer, I designed it to split in half, to connect to each half to make the blade longer.


Designing the Model

Here is a picture of my 3D-Printer.




This is a picutre of the finished weapon, and it around my hand. I will use this to hide under the sleeve of the killer, it will also blend in with the Killer's outfit.








This concludes the costuming and props of the Killer, I did the previous parts in my Blog Posts #26 & #28-30, doing the cloak, cowl, and gloves. I now plan to start production on Sunday, the 16th of February.

 In this post, I plan to give a general, current visual representation and sequencing for my project, and the scenes within it. These scenes include Fern and Ed speaking in the detective's office, Fern and Ed exiting the detectives office, Fern and Ed entering the car and driving in it, Fern and Ed appearing at the crime scene with the dead body, and possibly a scene featuring the killer.  This picture is a representation of the first scene, featuring an over-the-shoulder shot behind Ed, facing Fern reading the "S.K.B.D. News" This picture is a representation of the second scene, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office, through a two-shot, with Fern in the background, and Ed in the midground, picking up keys in the foreground. I chose this configuration to put emphasis on the keys.    These pictures are a representation of the fourth scene, which starts with an action cut from the last seen, showing Ed and Fern leaving the office driveway, through a wide shot.

Blog Post #41 - Obstacles Recording the Security Camera Scene

Image
 While me and my actors were getting ready to start recording, we ran into multiple unexpected problems. The scene I will be discussing in this post is the scene of the security camera footage, which features the Killer killing Lacey's Child, the Killer played by me, and the child by Ethan. The script for this scene has the killer approaching the child, and stabbing him, with (fake) blood flying out. Photo of me, Eriberto (Eddie) Mendoza, in the Killer's outfit before recording The problems we ran into may have been unexpected, but they were not unpredictable and could have been planned ahead. The biggest obstacle we ran into was the  weather . We noticed a few hours before, the sky had gotten gloomy, grey, and cloudy, but I dismissed it, being eager to start production. When my actors arrived at my house to record the scene, I felt a drop come from the sky, at this point I was starting to get worried, the sky had gotten darker and more grey.  Recording When we went to st...
