Filming Day Two!

 Hi y'all! Rowyn is back here with another blog. I'm still a little sick but now with a sore throat because of me yelling at our school football team haha! We won though so it's all worth it. Our last day of filming was Thursday. My group and I had last-minute plans to film at Holiday Park. Holiday Park is where I played many sports growing up. It was also where my old house was so being there was very nostalgic. I thought the park was a great location for our music video because there can be... some random people there haha. But our moms or dads as we grew up always told us to never talk to strangers at the park or in fact anywhere. This location contrasts that idea growing up because we have always been taught that now we are just stuck with those worries. Since this was also a public park we didn't have to ask permission to film. Many people did walk by asking what we were doing because of Mia's costume haha. But besides that, I am very proud of the angles and shots I took. I was very creative with what we had and the amount of time we had. We used Mia's mom's car to film the stalker getting run over. It was also a very humorous excursion and created last-timing memories for us all. I can't wait to start editing and filming the next project we have as well! See you guys next time!

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. ...
