Hey y'all! back at it again updating you guys about our final task! After much consideration and planning, I began filming my final task today. I was assigned an important role in the video, the main character! During the beginning of the shoot, lets just say it wasn't the best. Many, many takes were needed, as an issue seemed to arise with each take. However, it was addressed quickly, and avoided the next time. One problem that seemed to be very prevalent was the seriousness. Although this is a horror movie, there was supposed to be some lighthearted aspects, but it seemed as if there was never a right time for this. So, the group took my advice. This was to continue to build suspense in the beginning, as only scene 1, 2, and 3 were shot and closer to the end was in which humorous aspects could be added. I will say that behind the camera, is just as difficult as being in front of the camera. Between trying to incorporate specific angles, and hiding the camera so the actor wouldn't look into it, isn't exactly the easiest job. But, I managed to push through and do a fine job. As filming goes on, I hope to get better, with the help of my team members at this task. In terms of putting it all together in the end, it seems to be rather promising. While filming, I tried to use transitions, so that they would be less blocky in the final video. During the next few shoots, I hope to improve the groups time management skills. The group, including myself procrastinated a lot during just these few scenes. This was rather unfortunate because more scenes could have been completed. But, we did put a dent into filming which I am happy about. I hope to update you guys tomorrow. Talk to you guys later!

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...
