New Word: Car

The climax shot for our film is the car crash scene. We carefully picked the vehicles we used to give a visual presentation even outside of the film. There is three vehicle options at our recording site, my house. A small gray car, a large gray van, and a big red car. Even within insurance companies coverage plans, red vehicles have higher insurance costs just due to their color and association with aggressive driving. Young men have the same pitfall, higher insurance costs because of how common aggressive and reckless driving practices are with them. Marvin is a visibly young man and we had clear access to a red vehicle, meaning our decision was practically set before we made it. Now we have two of the most common types of on road dangers, in insurance standards, for productional value. This car was also the safest option for our driver. There was no Marvin stun double, and while we were as careful as possible in recording the crash scene there was still safely concerns. We recorded at night so there was very limited chances for unpredictable conditions of random drivers being involved, but safety is still important. The red vehicle is large and strong enough to protect Marvin in the case of an accident. The red color of the car made it very visible even in the nighttime. This was good for film quality as well as safety. Our control vehicle for the crash was driven by an experienced adult driver, as well as at very low speeds that we then altered, so danger risk was always low. Yet the color of the vehicle and its size made safety in visual identification very easy. As far as for production quality, the color is rich and stands out easily in the black and green colors in the background of the shot. It’s the immediate direction a views eyes will travel when watching the crash scene, which is exactly what we want. That's all for now, I'll see you all in the next one!
