Movie Research: Scream VI

 1. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?

Scream VI focuses on many elements related to the final task which includes involving a mystery surrounding the killer's identity, with twists, turns, and red herrings to keep the audience guessing, and explicit violence and gore, "Scream" films typically include creatively staged and visually impactful kill scenes, and the whodunit element. 

2. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like? 

I liked the use of dry humor like having the killer try making jokes while trying to kill the victims and its use of pop culture references. I also liked the mystery and whodunit about which character was the killer/killer. 

3. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you? 

I didn't enjoy how there wasn't a lot of character development, and how they had unrealistic plot points that made me feel the movie was too far-fetched and unoriginal. I also felt like the pacing was inconsistent at points which negatively impacted the overall storytelling of the film.

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. ...
