White Coat

Today we completed production for our film opening, and decided on the final name in the process: White Coat! Production went very smooth and everything flowed. We made sure to overshoot and incorporate various angles and shot types so we would have flexibility in post production. The original set up took about an hour to put together. My partner came about an hour before the actors came, which was not planned but ended up working out in our favor anyways. We set up the camera gear, lights, and put the final touches on the set before the actors came. What really worked to our advantage was the use of a fog machine. The first two pictures are with the main lights on, and the following images are with the set in production.

What ended up working to our advantage was that we made good use of a fog machine. I'm not trying to be biased or anything, but the use of fog created some really cool visual effects. Not only did it create good looking visual effects, it helped in the sense that our genre was suspense/thriller. If you reference other suspense films, many use fog to assist in setting the mood, as seen in the final pictures.                                                                 -                                                                                                                                             I never really explained why we chose the title White Coat. As we were filming, we decided to put an emphasis on the scientist and his "crazy" experiments. We tried to depict a scientist that was not your everyday person, rather someone who was not mentally "okay". Since we put focus on the scientist, we decided that the title White Coat was the best choice.

Now that production is wrapped up, we can put full force on post production and make the best possible film opening.
