Wishlist Blog Post #38

 Wishlist for our Film Opener!

Hi guys, welcome back to another blog. Today, I will be talking about my wishlist and things I would have done differently if I had a major production budget! Ok lets get started.

To begin with, if we had a major production budget, I would most definitely change the actors. For the role of Kyle, I would cast Jaedan Martell (he acted as Bill in It) because of his ability to portray fear and vulnerability naturally. In the movies I've seen with him in them, he has acted very well, and he would make a great addition to our film.

 For The Killer, I would cast another actor from It, Bill Skarsgard. He is a master of using body language to create fear and suspense. His height, posture, and slow movements would make The Killer very unsettling without even using dialogue. 

For Sebastian, I would cast Roman Griffin Davis (the main character of Jojo Rabbit) due to his ability to convey emotion perfectly. He would strengthen the final reveal massively.

In terms of costumes, I would keep The Killer's jumpsuit similar, but I would get it professionally designed to look worn and functional, making it look like it had been used many times to go through with his crimes. Kyle's clothing would remain very similar since that is what a teenage boy would wear normally, and it already looks good. Same thing with Sebastian, his costume fits the tone of the movie, so I wouldn't change it even with a bigger film budget.

For setting and location, I would continue to use a suburban environment, specifically a neighborhood, but I would want one with more control over location and backgrounds. Access to more private areas would allow us to manage background noises and lighting.

Lastly, for lighting, sound, and editing, the lighting would remain low-key, but I would have more control over placement and angling. This would allow for shadows and silhouettes to be shaped intentionally. Sound design would be changed a lot to be clearer and smoother. There would be more separation between ambient noise and sound effects. For editing, I would massively improve transitions and color grading to make the film look better visually.

Overall, a major film budget would allow us to enhance our execution of the film, but it would not change the main idea of the film.
