I am so excited guys, It's finally spring break! This doesn't mean time to relax though, we'll be working on our project everyday and I'll keep you guys updated on everything. As you guys know, we are going to be filming constantly throughout spring break and our goal is to finish the film opening. This will give us enough time to complete our CCR, which is highly important, in fact, in tomorrow's blog I'll be talking about some of the questions I've answered to the CCR.
Today, the group and I went to Home Depot to find the necessary supplies to build the sign that will be used in the first part of the opening. Since we want the sign to look realistic we bought 2 wooden pillars, a wooden plank to go across the top, two smaller planks, and a sign that will say "Jones Estate". Here is an example of of how it will look with all the materials we bought:
We have to put a lot of emphasis into this prop because not only does it establish that the "cemetery" is located in the house (which makes it a family graveyard), but it is also the first shot of the opening. Therefore, this is supposed to make viewers keep watching and is why we want it to be realistic.
Ultimately, our goal is to come out with a sign that looks almost like this one:
As you can see from the picture, it will establish the location, the name of the family, and that it is a ranch.
That's all for today guys, I know this was a short one, but the main purpose was to show how we are going with the props. Another person in the group has also started making the headstones as well, but I'll show the pictures when they're done. Stay tuned on my next posts because here is where all this handwork starts coming together.
