garage production code: malfunction gateway

After shooting at the beach, we went to the parking garage in downtown Sarasota. We made our way 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 one of the doors has led to. It is creating world-building on what goes on inside the corrupt doors, leading to different places after channeling static.

house production code: malfunction gateway

March 20 Today we start filming. The actress came over, and we waited for it to get dark before we could start filming. We got through most of the scenes that take place in my house. The locations in my house were in my sister's bedroom, the hallway, and my parents' bedroom. We took multiple shots of some to try out different camera angles. March 25 Today was filming for one of the first scenes of when she first discovers the static TV and the room. This is the point where the story begins in the film.

Beach production code: malfunction gateway

We got up early in the morning and went to the beach to start filming. This was a suggestion made by my actress in my movie, and we took a couple screening shots on the beach. What happens is that a door leads the character to the beach, and the shadow monster is following behind. When the main character senses someone and turns around, there's no one there. The purpose is to explore the world that's seen in this universe in static doors.

She goes to check it out, and behind her, a door opens. She opens a door and watches the TV as static then goes off. She still hears the static, though, and decides to follow it. This causes her to open one of the doors, and it leads her to a garage. She then finds another door and once again goes through. She's transported to a beach and starts to explore. Meanwhile, we see this shadow demon (played by Stephaine Barcelo) following behind her. We almost see the two have an interaction, but when the girl looks behind her, nothing's there. She finds another door there and decides to go through it, leading her to an alleyway. Then, there's the shadow demon in the alleyway, and it starts to chase her down the hallway. She sees another door and thinks it's the way out, but the door is locked, and the shado...

 https://youtu.be/vhFPHYgILN0?si=YshEBCNwb5jnbCCt It starts out on a slow zoom in on the small Castle Byers. It goes into a panning tracking shot where it crawls down the painted wood boards going into the castle. We then see Will on the ground. The scene 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 Byers' castle, roaring. Only then does it pan over to Will using a shotgun to shoot into the monster's mouth using an over-the-shoulder shot. Going into a quick zoom of Will running away from the Demogorgon. A close-up of the Demo roaring in anger is shown next. Next, its cutting into a dolly tracking shot of Will running. Then flips to a backtrack to show a front angle of Will running. It switches to follow track motion for it to show Will run. It then goes back to a backtr...
