Filming Blog: The Film Location

  The big day came of us finally deciding where we would film. We know how we want our shots but the location is the current issue. Our main place where most of the shots going to take place is going to be at Lucas's place. Lucas's place is the most ideal for our group since it's located near our place and has the most space between all of us in the group.

The title displayed the studio, director, actors who are in the movie, who produced the film, who's the music by, the editors, who did the makeup, the consultant, the director of photography, and who it's written by. 2 - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? A taxi driving through an urban city with extreme close-ups of the main character. 3 - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? The outset establishes a feeling of the genre through the use of neon and the overall design contributes to the film while also getting the NYC feel from the 1970s.
