Initial Posts




The sub genre of my film is a slasher, which typically involves a violent psychopath murdering several victims usually with a bladed weapon. In our film, there will be a group of teenagers that get killed off one by one by a psycho killer. This means we will probably use props and fake blood. Sometimes the killer wears a mask to cover up their identity and make people scared of them.

Our story line is going to consist of a group of teenagers at a house having a big party, but outside is a serial killer that is watching the party from outside the house. Then, each teenager start getting killed off one by one slowly decreasing the number of teenagers left in the party. The killer will be masked with a sharp weapon and wear all black to look scary to the teenagers. 

The characters we are going to use are:

-a serial killer
-a group of teenagers
- a policeman who is clueless about what is going on. 








Entourage


Who made the title design for Entourage?

Jason Doherty and Helen Greene were the creators of the title sequence to the film Entourage, which came out 2015. After leaving Create Advertising, Helen decided to launch her own motion graphics company and make it 100% female-owned. Jason joined Helen in the fall of 2010 after working with her a few years earlier while she lead up the graphics division at 'Create Advertising.' They found commonality on many creative levels and decided to work with each other in motion graphics.

Where did they acquire their ideas for the sequence?

As leaders of the project both designers Jason and Helen believed that it would be essential to originate back to the roots of the eighth series, so they used the identical track and similar style to present the credits and the way they were formatted. This was by capturing many of LA's iconographic signage, locations, establishments, and landmarks to present nearly thirty credits ,altering them so they pictured producers, designers and editors names instead of the actual sign.  

What was their relationship with the director and film studio like?

Both graphic designers had to have feedback in the locations used to change to present the credits and wait for approval from different aspects and managers from the film studio. However, they were given much freedom by moth parties as they were able to travel into the depth of LA and expand/explore past the sunset strip.
