Whats up blog today will be the day I post my third blog of the week. Today's blog is going to talk about my production process recording our credit sequence. This blog is going to be full of roller coasters but I hope you enjoy, thank you.

Publix

The process began when we to Publix striaght after school. We did some research trying to figure out what products and baking items we could use for shots of our credit sequence. We wanted the credit sequence to give off a scientific type of vibe. So, as we made our way to Publix we researched what two liquids we could use together to make bubbles, like science experiment bubbles. We found out that Vinegar + Baking Soda would get us what were looking for. We weren't sure if we wanted to get food coloring because we weren't sure if would tie well into the plot of the film, but we did end up buying it so that we had it just in case we'd use it. And we did end up using it. We also bought glycerin gummies because it was the only glycerin product they offered at our nearest Publix, but when we used it, it did not work like people said it would, it might be because we got gummies but in the end it worked.

House

These were all the products we bought:

Once we had the shots planned out in our head we started conducting some experiments to see what would work, we first tried with the glycerin gummies plus water, we thought they'd dissolve in the water because that's what we read. However, that did not work out they stayed to the bottom. We then tried the baking soda + vinegar mixture and wow, to our surprise it worked magically well. We then put some drops of green food coloring into the mixture and it produced this.

The glycerin + water made this👎:

Once we figured out that baking soda + vinegar was the done deal, we started preparing for the shooting. The shooting was set to take place in Santi's room.

Shooting

We knew what to use for the bubbles so know we started making some Mise-en-scene elements around the room, we wanted the setup to look like a messy science office. Here I am making a prop that would later be utilized during the production. You can also see Sam looking on the other monitor for a background, for the shooting location. We included the food coloring tubes as props because we thought they aligned with the scientific vibe of these shots.

Once we got done setting up all the props we began to shoot. We had ideas of shots we wanted. Even if we weren't going to use them in the eventual production it was better to have them there as an option. Santi recorded some shots and so did I. I forgot to mention before we entered the room we explored with different colors and concluded that red would be what we'd go with. Here is a shot of what it looked like.

After we were done with the super foam scene, we wanted to aim for a calmer shot that would transition smoothly with credits. This was going to be one of the shots that culminates the credit scene, so we wanted it to be one to remember, here is a picture of Santi getting the angle right to this.

This was the second the last shot that we were doing of the day. The last shot we wanted was a shot of a shadow. It was going to be a scientist putting a glove on in the dark, the shadow allows it to be a little suspenseful and that was what we were aiming for. Here are some snippets from to shot.
