Planning for Music Video

Props -

Knife - This is for our stalker (Mia) and she will use this to scare the victim (Kylie).

Fake Blood - We plan to use fake blood for some shots to bring gore and creepiness into our video.

Phone - For our victim to try and call the police.

Bat - To hurt the stalker.

Ring camera - this will be used for one shot, we are still deciding what to do with it.

Location -

We are currently planning on filming in the Galleria in Fort Lauderdale, mainly in the parking garage but also some scenes in the mall. But we also decided we should add a second location. Kylie's house is right next to the beach so we also might incorporate some of that.

Schedule -

While this is still being decided on, the most likely date we will film this will be November 2nd. November 2nd is also "Day of the Dead" which contributes to the theme of the music video.

Backup plan -

Kylie is very busy with softball on the weekends so we would most likely do something after school. If we can't go to the Galleria then we might do something at Kylie's house instead. If we don't have the costumes or props we need we will try and get creative by finding stuff at our houses.

Costumes -

Stalker mask - this will be used for the stalker's costume to hide their identity.

Clothes with blood - represent the creepiness of the music video.

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.

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.

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. ...
