Blog Post #29 - Knocked over item

 In my opening scene, one of the themes that will be expressed is the theme that being over confident can lead to mistakes. In my film D.L is very over confident with his criminal skills given the fact that he is a professional criminal. This over confidence leads to him knocking down a few boxes of Funko pops that was near an opened entertainment system. The impact of these boxes falling is that the owner of the house will wakeup in the film because of the noise that the boxes falling caused. D.L will think that the owner of the house didn't hear the boxes falling when in reality that small detail will be what causes James to know that he has been robbed.

The placement of the boxes of Funko pops

The reasoning for Funko pop boxes being knocked over is because the boxes make a diegetic and synchronous sound that I think will be efficient in fulfilling the purpose of items being knocked over in my film. The boxes will be placed near the open entertainment system in order to show that earlier in the day James was putting stuff inside of his entertainment system. Given the fact that the entertainment system is open, in my film D.L will go near the entertainment system in order to see if there is any valuables in there and when he goes over to check, his foot will hit one of the boxes which causes multiple boxes to fall and create a noise in the otherwise silent house.

The video above is a foley sound of one of the boxes falling down that I recorded in case I need to use it for my film if the boxes falling in the original recording of my opening scene aren't loud enough.

  CCR #3- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?    My creative approach was a presentation. Production skills are an important part of creating films. This is because having better production skills can make a film better and more entertaining. Without good production skills, a film may not look very realistic, and a film might not be as entertaining as it was originally intended to be.   Production skills can range from anything between having good camera shots, having costuming that fits with the character s role, adding proper score and sound effects, recreating sounds as re alistic as possible with foley, and having props that fit with the storyline.   My production skills have developed in beneficial ways while working on this project. Before filming my project, I originally didn't have much thought on the importance of score in films and before I filmed, I thought I wasn't going to use score. After filming my op ening scene, I...
