Research and Planning Blog

 Hey y'all! It's me Rowyn again and here is me explaining my vision and the media I will choose for my commercial. Picking and choosing content hasn't been easy because there are so many to choose from! This commercial will include every photo, video, and song expressing me. First is for my photos,   one photo will be of me in front of the ocean to express my love for the beach and why I love spending my time there! Another photo for my commercial will be me and all of my friends at a camp I went to this summer. This summer has shaped me into who I am today and I am forever grateful for it so it has to be included. And one last photo will be me with my suitcase going on the plane to Vermont! I go to Vermont every summer to see my family and every time is a blast so this photo has to be in my commercial because it expresses my love for travel! Out of 30,000 photos on my phone, I believe that these 3 photos that are going on my commercial best describe me! Second are my videos, as much as I love making videos I surprisingly don't have a ton to really express myself. But I have chosen some out of the "very many" I had laugh out loud! The first video will be my best friend Lindsay and I in the keys tubing, this video shows two of my favorite things, 1. tubing, because I grew up tubing in the ocean and in my grandpa's lake in upstate New York, and 2. my best friend, because she is always there with me through thick and thin. My second video is of me last year at a volleyball game serving. Serving for me personally is my favorite part of the game because there are all eyes on me and I have complete control of where the ball goes. Besides the serving part, I have my girls with me on the court and bench cheering me on which always makes my day. My third video is my friend Emerson and I singing our hearts out at a Taylor Swift party! Taylor Swift's music has helped me so much in life in every possible situation and I am glad I found a person to sing her songs with! Lastly, picking a song is VERY HARD. Out of every song I have on my Spotify, through every genre I love, I found a song that truly represents me and what I listened to in the past. The song is Stubborn Love by the Lumineers. This song I have grown up singing with my mom, dad, and sister because we all love it. This song reminds me of long drives from my family's house in Vermont all the way to my Grandpa's lake house in New York. Times like these built me into who I am today and I can't wait to construct my commercial!

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  Answer:       This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene h...

Music: Choosing Audios

 Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. ...
