Writer Michael Bacall developed these stories into an outline scenario in one night with the goal of creating the 'gnarliest high school party of all time'. The remainder of the story was fleshed out in the following weeks. Bacall and Drake were told to 'go crazy' with the script, although Bacall confessed 'I was a nerd in high school so I never did anything like what's in the movie'. Bacall worked on the script generally at nights between simultaneously working on the scripts for and.Nima Nourizadeh had previously only worked directing music videos and commercials, but he came to the producers' attention for his directing work on a series of party-themed commercials.
Nourizadeh explained to the producers how he would want to develop the script and how he would want the film to look and feel, and he was eventually brought from London to Los Angeles, for what he believed would be two weeks, but stretched to two years. Phillips believed that Nourizadeh's interpretation of the film was compatible with his vision, influencing the decision to hire Nourizadeh in his feature film debut.Project X was not intended to be the title of the film, but it was kept to capitalize on interest generated by the rumored secrecy surrounding the project. Adding to the secrecy, producers decided to not send full scripts to any prospective cast member, instead providing only individual pages. Casting To create the impression that the events of Project X had actually happened, the producers decided against casting known faces, but to find completely new actors. Phillips stated that the goal of the open call was to cast 'unknown actors' and 'real people of all ethnicities,' who would not normally be given a chance to star in a film. Phillips and producer decided to create a nationwide open casting call, allowing any United States resident over the age of 18 to audition for Project X through a specially created website. Actors were required to provide videos of themselves telling embarrassing or funny stories, or dancing.
However, traditional casting was still employed to allow actors with little professional acting credits to audition. The process allowed traits of the selected actors to be incorporated into their characters, including in several cases, their respective characters taking the actors' names. In casting the three leads, the production avoided solo casting and instead had a group of three actors auditioning together, switching out and adding different actors to see which group worked best together.The casting of low-profile actors aided in keeping the production budget low by avoiding the larger salaries attached to stars.
To prepare for the role and create a believable friendship between the leads, Brown, Cooper, and Mann were sent to together and spent a weekend in a cabin at. Principal photography. ' Project X was filmed on eight different camera systems. It's a film told by the masses of people who attend the party, which gives it a totally unique point of view on the situation.

For instance, how we could make 200 or so extras look like more than 1,000'– Cinematographer Ken Seng on filming Project X.was scheduled to begin on June 14, 2010, in on a budget of $12 million. Filming took place over twenty-five nights between 5 pm and 5 am on the in. The set contained a faux residential area featuring multiple houses. The house belonging to Thomas was situated directly opposite the house used by 's character Roger Murtaugh in the Silver-produced 1987 action film.The production decided to film on a set because locating a real neighborhood that could be effectively closed off and which would allow filming throughout the evening and early morning proved difficult. Phillips explained that using a real neighborhood would have also proven difficult because of the fire damage required for the film. Much of the set was destroyed as part of filming.
The film was largely shot in chronological sequence as repairing the set damage from a later scene to film an earlier one would have been difficult. Mann described the filming as a 'party atmosphere', with New York Jesse Marco on set performing music even when the cameras stopped rolling to maintain the energy of the cast and extras. Many of the same extras were brought back for multiple nights of filming, and would continue to party between scenes. Periodic takes of up to 20 minutes were made of just extras dancing. During filming, Burbank police were called to the set concerning noise complaints made by nearby residents.Project X was filmed in style, only displaying the events of the film through the first-person view of the cameraman observing the party, to create the effect of the audience being in attendance at the out of control party.
Nourizadeh stated that the style allowed the film to seem 'real' and 'show some of the realities of what kids do'. Ken Seng and Nourizadeh tested twelve different camera systems before choosing the digital-HD Sony F23 video camera, basing their decision on its ability to handle sudden extreme changes in lighting due to natural daylight and.The film is primarily presented from the perspective of the character Dax and his camera, but Nourizadeh also obtained footage by providing the cast and extras with recording devices such as and to capture events occurring outside of the perspective or knowledge of the cameraman.
This resulted in hours of unusable footage that had to be observed by Nourizadeh and his team to find segments that could be incorporated into the final film. Nourizadeh stated 'when you have real material being shot by real people, it then kind of feels like it is.
It is found footage. I hated spending 10 hours looking through bits of flip footage – people didn't press stop, it's like in their pockets. But yeah, it was great, man.' Other footage was provided from fictional police and news cameras to give a different perspective on the events. Soundtrack Project X (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)by.

It is the second largest non-apartment style unit of the, behind.Located at 2422 Ridge Road, the house is a block from the center of the northern edge of the campus. The yellow stucco fortress overlooks North Gate, and the two accessible roofs provide a view of, the, the, and most of campus. It sits on atop Holy Hill, the area in the vicinity of a five-way intersection surrounded on all sides by churches and seminaries. The BSC central office and central kitchen are located within the Casa Zimbabwe building, but they only connect to the main residential area by a few doors.The residents of Casa Zimbabwe are affectionately referred to as Czars, though the pejorative term of Krackistani is not without use. Contents.History When CZ opened in 1966, it was known as 'Ridge Project' since it shares its lot with, another BSC cooperative. Ridge Project residents referred to themselves as 'Projectiles'.
Ridge Project was one of the first instances of housing on the Berkeley campus.In 1987, the house residents successfully petitioned to change the house name to its current one. The name 'Casa Zimbabwe' was first proposed in 1983. At that time, the USCA had a Minority Affairs committee that was looking to increase the number of minorities at Berkeley in general and in the co-ops in particular. The word “project” had a negative association with public housing. An additional issue was the frequent confusion between Ridge Project and Ridge House.No satire was intended with the name 'Casa Zimbabwe'; it reflected the composition of the house. White minority rule had recently ended in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, and many believed that Zimbabwe would become a prosperous western-style democracy.
Over time it was recognized that 'House of Stone' was indeed a fitting name, given the structure's craggy exterior and oft stoned inhabitants, and was accepted by the USCA.In the spring of 2001, the residents voted during house council to change the house name to Krackistan (though this has never been recognized by anyone outside of the house).Casa Zimbabwe closed December 19, 2006 in order to perform major work. The house reopened August 23, 2007. Members The residents and boarders of CZ are the members of the cooperative. Each resident pays rent in addition to contributing five hours of work per week. Each boarder only pays for food, and his/her work contribution per week is dependent on how many meals s/he eats at CZ. CZ holds a weekly council meeting, usually on Sunday at 6PM, where members gather to discuss house business.
Building While every other BSC house was a pre-existing structure eventually converted into a co-op, CZ is unique in that it was built with the specific intent of being used as a cooperative living space.The house is divided into three segments. Residents' rooms are located in the east and west wings (known as the '10s' and the '100s' for the room numbering scheme used), both of which are connected in the middle by two stories of wide open common space. The west wing was originally intended to be all male and the east wing all female. The first room on the first floor of the east wing was known as 'Heidi's Room', Heide Wolgemuth having been the housemother when the building opened. The segregation of the wings by gender ended in the 1970s.Forty were installed on the CZ roof in 1979. The panels supply hot water to the building. References.
