Our Genre Decision

 Out of all the genres looked at, the genre of horror stuck out the most and caught our attention. The horror genre is by far the most versatile to work with, offering hundreds of subgenres and concepts for creative storytelling. This is especially useful when there is a limited time frame to create a story within. To make a good story all within the span of two minutes is difficult but horror would provide a genre in which this could work. Horror can also be created with lower quality equipment and still have the same scary, intense feeling which was another deciding factor since the group is not exactly gifted with 10,000 dollar cameras or lights. So the decision was made to use horror as the genre of this Final Task.

Production blog- Music choice!

Image
 Welcome back bloggers! So far we have chosen the setting and where we are choosing to film. Now we are figuring out the music that we want to be playing in the background of the film. It's a difficult choice since a lot of the music that we know of is copyrighted. Which means that if we use it, it can get flagged down and the whole film won't be able to be used. Which will cause a giant delay in the finishing of the film. We had an idea of having one of our friends that really into music write it for us. But we are afraid that it won't turn out the way we need it to. Although it's an idea, a simpler way might just we going on a website with "free to use" music and audio. Not that we necessarily need music, but any kind of audio that can be played in the background that can help with special effect and dramatization. Some sound effects are going to need to be made too. Like for a floorboard creaking we might have to dramatize the noise and do it ourselves by h...

Final task- Peer review

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to today's blog! Today's topic is a peer review of my recently completed Final Task. One of my friends took the time to watch and critique it for me. They mentioned that the eerie music and sound effects set a great mood and built suspense. The pacing of the title sequence was a bit rushed and could be improved by slowing down transitions and allowing shots to linger. The use of lighting and shadows added depth to the scenes, but at times it affected the camera focus. The typography for title cards was bold and fitting but could be improved for better readability. The use of other media within the film sequence, like creating an EAS alarm system, was creative and cool. Overall, with some adjustments to pacing, narrative clarity, and visual elements, the sequence could become a truly haunting and memorable opening for a cinematic experience. The choice of soundtrack greatly enhanced the anticipation and should definitely be kept. However, the friend...
