Creative Critical Reflection: Integration of Technologies

How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in the project?

Wacom Cintiq 22HD (To my knowledge of its version)- Used Photoshop from my computer and connected them together to draw and add more detail on the poster to gain the full effect for the shadows and mystery.

Laptop:
  • Adobe Premiere Pro: Editing the film together and coloring it along with integration of the music into the project.
  • Adobe After Effects: Title slide and using downloaded assets to give it a better effect. Made a HUD eye to put into Riot's eye in order to add to the sci-fi aspects of the film. I had to make a mask layer and learn how to track and parent the tracking date to a null layer, along with parenting my mask to the null eye though I went through and key framed by mask and ending up doing the same thing for the entire tracking process of the project
  • Adobe Audition: Robot alteration of the voices of our two actors in the scene, but using some distortion effects.
  • Adobe Photoshop: Working on the posters and using the Cintiq to finish the job.
  • YouTube: I looked at many videos to help me learn new things, such as the HUD eye effects, and altering voices to sound more like "Ultron." I even watched some videos about adding robotic parts to the body of actors digitally.
Phone:
  • Music: I listened to a lot of music to decide what I wanted my friend to make for me so that I could capture the tone of my scene.
  • Text:  I texted my actors, music producer, and partner in production in order to coordinate all of the activity for the project.
Canon Rebel T6i: I show the film on my camera. Using my own lighting  and facing the cameras to the ground, I got a lot light that simply lit our actors enough to see them on camera and not lose the effect of the candles lighting the scene in the final edit. I had to raise the ISO filter on the camera and because it so dark and shading, raising my f-stops and shutter speed would only darken it too much for what we trying to accomplish and we could just finish the shading in post.

Malice - Target Audience

Malice is likely to be a rated R production. The audience that we would like to reach is 17 years of age to 35 years, covering young adults and many sci-fi fans over the course of the decades. Because it's rated R, it would be better to market the movie towards action lovers and sci-fi lovers. But it's also dark and twisted and the theme of anarchy would draw more Gothic fans as well. There are what we call "cult audiences" or "niche films" where the topic or interest of the film is only directed to a certain group people that just love those kinds of films, and this is likely to be one of those.

Malice (Script)

Image
I began working on the concept during the summer. On Nov. 8, 2017, I wrote the first script. I listened to a few songs for inspiration. In the car on the way to school I listened to ‘Beautiful War’ By Earl St. Clair. I also listened to ‘Hard,’ ‘Aw yeah,’ ‘Holier than Thou,’ and ‘Hope for a Higher Power,’ ‘Delusional,’ ‘Paint a Dark Picture,’ ‘On the Bible.’ I began writing Malice in the Summer and it’s a sci-fi project that I wanted to work on with my big brother, I felt that this would be good showcase to introduce some of the characters Malice Synopsis: A teenager loses his mother to the actions a revolutionary cult and seeks vengeance against the cult once realizing that they are the reason for her death. There were three drafts produced and my partner and I had finally settled on the script below.
