Filming: Scenes 4 and 5

Hey y'all! I'm back again. As you know, yesterday I filmed scenes one, two, and three for the Final Task. Well, I am happy to say that we continued today! We completed scenes four and five. There was limited time, as our group's schedule did not necessarily align, but I felt it was necessary to do as much as we could, and my group agreed as well. Today we spent a lot of time working on editing the film. I feel like things went much smoother than yesterday. The key was making adjustments like moving the camera or actors to make tasks easier. I've also gotten used to how my partners work and how we can be successful together. During filming, I am the main character so I have a ton of lines to remember which can be frustrating when I can't! Although I did struggle with some lines and needed a few takes I eventually nailed it down without any issues. I also helped out the cameraman who was initially having some difficulties. Our group decided to film which is trickier than it sounds for the person, behind the camera. However, I picked up some tricks to make it easier. Shared them with my team. Overall I'm looking forward to shooting the scenes!

Gradually I'm starting to see the video taking shape. I'm optimistic that the film will flow seamlessly once it comes down to editing. Over the days my goal is to complete the remaining parts of the film. I'll be sure to keep you all posted! Looking forward to chatting with y'all soon!

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. ...
