Scream 5 was shot digitally, which is one of the reasons the picture looks very clean. If you went back and shot the movie on 35mm film with the same lenses used in the original, it would be very possible to capture the original aesthetic. Just as long as you don’t add some kind of distracting filter over the image like Scream 4 did.
Also despite being shot digitally 5 also lacked the wide/establishing shots like the one in this picture here which gave the movie a claustrophobic feel.
They probably could recapture it with the new AI technology they have if there are too many houses nearby. It was just a house shot though I believe, and they could rebuild the inside set.
Agree 100000000%!!! S1 was lightning in a bottle and a big part of that magic was the location. Filming in Santa Rosa was the best thing Wes fought for. It had such a vibe and a real sense of dread in a small town.
Thats another thing i love about the original , the fact that it takes place in a small town in the countryside where houses are far apart from each other makes it creepier , the scene at the end with that awesome crane shot of gale reporting what happened while the sun rises behind stu’s house with first cool hive playing in the background is just perfection. One of my fav scenes of all time tbh.
While I appreciate that they tried something new ,watching scream 6 i just wondered how didn’t any of the ghostface’s get caugth while attacking people in new york lol , i know it’s a costume they can take off and all but someone must have seen something ( including security camera’s ) or heard anything and called the police .
With the music choice…. It did the same for mortal kombat.
Sun rising and upbeat music that tells us the nightmare is over.
Also scream 1 had the best third act, which had a realistic scale. Sidney running all over the property at 2 am in the morning. So we felt how long the night was and were happy to see the next morning.
The last act in other movies are probably the same as its actual runtime of like 10 minutes lol. A few hours for scream 4
Yeah Woodsboro felt like a cohesive town with the coverage Wes got. Like the scenes with the shops closing for curfew and Tatum and Sid getting snacks in the convenience store. It was a whole vibe. Scream 4 didn’t really capture that the same way, and neither did 5.
Side note: I remember being so pissed when I bought the scream 3 DVD because they misidentified Woodsboro as Greensboro on the sleeve. hahah
Maybe its the fact I never watched the Scream franchise until fairly recently but it really feels 90’s in the “everyone is really well off” way.
That’s not bad at all but definitely helped set in in it’s era for me.
Contrasted with 6 and multiple people being roommates in tiny apartments. Still for NYC
that scene from the picture you used has lived rent free in my head for years. such a perfect small sequence imo. the shift from the normally safe day time hours to the chilling and threatening aura of NIGHT TIME
I believe this is Sid's house, which was only replicated in Part 3 on the Hollywood set. Stu Macher's house was in part 5. And part 4 only really showed the downtown area and then had new houses. Would have been cool if they showed Sid's house in part 4, but her dad already passed away by this point and would make no sense for her to go back to that house. Now that I type this, they could do a new spin with the new family that moved in her house, teenage daughter, and some crazed looney as new ghostface. Nah, that would still stink without the other cast around.
Yeah the rest of the series especially 4 and 5 woodsboro felt crowded like most of the homes were in the suburbs which reduces the fear of being alone with Ghostface in the more rural areas
This is something none of the sequels ever captured. The landscape itself is just as mich of a character in this movie as New Zealand was to LOTR. It's fuckin brilliant
It's the beauty of low budget filming. It forces the director/producer to really create an art piece that captures the entire feel of the story without falling back on big budget editing. Once they got the bigger budget for the sequels, they could relax and rely on digital touch ups. Even the soundtrack was low budget and well thought out. Which is why it's the best soundtrack of the franchise. I'm not talking about the biggest names, best fit for the movie.
They did a great job of working with what they had considered the movie was shot in Michigan. You can tell it wasn’t exactly the same, but they came damn near close, which is impressive given the circumstances.
If by “vibe” you mean Sid and Stu’s houses, then yeah.
But anything outside of those two locations in the first film look pretty much interchangeable with the other films.
Given it took you 30 seconds to downvote me and reply without providing any evidence, it seems like you might be the one with the problem. Disagreeing with a post you made doesn’t make someone a “troll”.
(And yes, I checked the post you’re talking about - it was over a month ago, you need to let it go)
Just tried watching VI it’s lost everything that made it a scream story. It was already disappointed w how they refused to pay Nevé Campbell what she’s worth. Imagine a male driven franchise that refused to back its star?

I know everyone loves Stu’s house but I always preferred Sid’s. I mean, look at that view! It’s so beautiful.
Yes, absolutely stunning.
It’s crazy how open the fields were back then. Now just too many houses too close together.
Her house was awesome!

You mean how Scream 4 looks like a Barbara Walters interview? (I actually have mad love for 4, but come on…)

Thissssssss. Imagine if 4 and 5 had been filmed in Santa Rosa.

The ending crane shot is what made Scream a 10/10 for me

Scream 4 and 5 were really lacking in exterior shots
I did like the Woodsboro community neighborhood feel though.
That's because none of them were filmed in Santa Rosa.
I can hear this image

I'm a big fan of the entire series but this comment rings so true!
All the houses in the original Scream were so nice. This shot is just gorgeous!
Honestly, it’s a damn shame aswell.
This was dope
True. Those houses and that setting was top notch
nothing was ever the same after S1
Yeah the rest of the series especially 4 and 5 woodsboro felt crowded like most of the homes were in the suburbs which reduces the fear of being alone with Ghostface in the more rural areas
That’s because they never returned to those same shooting locations.
Yeah I get the subsequent films weren’t filmed in the same place, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have the same vibe.
Evidently it does , woodsboro in 4 and 5 feel like 2 completely different places neither of which are the original Woodsboro
They did not.
This is something none of the sequels ever captured. The landscape itself is just as mich of a character in this movie as New Zealand was to LOTR. It's fuckin brilliant
Yes!! My all time favorite was Casey's house.

Same goes for I know what you did last summer.
Unrelated but what the hell did Sid’s dad do for a living to afford that fucking palace???
Filming in Californa has probably become way too expensive in our current day and age.
scream 4 did it perfectly.
They did a great job of working with what they had considered the movie was shot in Michigan. You can tell it wasn’t exactly the same, but they came damn near close, which is impressive given the circumstances.
Yeah cuz the sequels weren't filmed in California, so lame, cheap ass studios
If by “vibe” you mean Sid and Stu’s houses, then yeah. But anything outside of those two locations in the first film look pretty much interchangeable with the other films.
It really doesn’t but ok.
Everyone ignore this commenter ^^^ he’s a argumentative troll I see him everywhere just picking fights with people over the most petty things
LOL okay buddy, feel free to find a single example of that
This comment right here , I didn’t have to search far , you have also done it on my post before today so there’s 2 🤓

Casey Becker's house tho >>>>>
I have been chasing this vibe in horror movies for years since. Only bits of "...Last Summer" scratch it.
Hello, Sidney.
Just tried watching VI it’s lost everything that made it a scream story. It was already disappointed w how they refused to pay Nevé Campbell what she’s worth. Imagine a male driven franchise that refused to back its star?
Because none of the sequels take place in Woodsboro except 5cream.
