Health and Safety

The number one rule about filming is that everyone is safe. Safety precautions are very important in case something goes wrong or someone gets hurt. If anyone gets hurt, there is a medical kit inside Rowyn's closet with bandages and sanitization tools to help. In case of emergencies, Rowyn's mom will always be close to us as well as our phones on us in case we need to dial 911. Rowyn's house will also have the door locked and is equipped with security cameras to ensure our safety inside. Some scenes are filmed out on the road so we will always have an extra person to keep on the lookout for cars passing by to keep us safe from anything happening. There are no other potential scenes in the use of weapons or harm so it is just the basic and simple things to look out for potential safety hazards and or emergencies.

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. ...
