garage production code: malfunction gateway

After the beach shooting, we went to the parking garage by regal Hollywood. Going across the street to an empty parking lot and alley way to start shooting some scenes with my actress and monster. This is going to be the second part of the movie where one of the doors has led to. This is to allow world building inside that of the corrupted doors leading to different places after channeling static.

Beach production code: malfunction gateway

 Getting up early in the morning, we went to the beach to start filming. This was a suggestion by my actress in my movie and we took a couple screening shots on the beach.

This is to allow the ability to explore the world that's seen in this universe in static doors.

Meanwhile, we see this shadow demon (played by Stephaine Barcelo)follow behind her and we almost see the two have an interaction, but when the girl looks behind her, nothings there.

 https://youtu.be/vhFPHYgILN0?si=YshEBCNwb5jnbCCt It starts out on a slow zoom in on the small castle Byers when it goes into a panning tracking shot where it goes down the painted wood boards going into the castle Byers to find Will on the ground. It then transfers to a dolly tracking shot on both the character Will and the monster who is outside, not showing the monster but rather its shadow. After a quick frame of Will panicking, it then flips to a still frame and then shows the monster breaking into the castle Byers, roaring. Only then pan over to Will using a shot gun to shoot into the monsters mouth using a over the shoulder shot. Going into a quick zoom of Will running away from the Demogorgan to a close up of the Demo roaring in anger. Cutting into a dolly tracking shot of Will running to a back track to show a front angle of Will running with them a following track motion for it to show Will running to then go back to a back track front angle POV shot. Its then a drone fol...
