A New Edition!

 For the last two projects, I have only worked with one partner, Adrian. Initially, it was only supposed to be the two of us for this new project. However, a good friend of mine, Faith Folkes, asked if she could join our group for the final task. She decided to leave her group because she felt like they didn't work well together.

I was excited that Faith asked to be apart of the group! I have known Faith for many years. We went to pre-school and elementary school together and reconnected by coming to the same high school. I know that Faith is a hardworking student and never fails to get her work done. I have many classes with her and she excels in every subject. This is one reason I know faith would be a great addition to the group. Her intelligence brings much to the table. Faith is also working with me in a school group for another class. For this reason, I know she is dependable and will not be a hinderance to the group.

With the inclusion of Faith, our group will consist of three people: Faith Folkes, Adrian Ramser-Cuellar, and Adriana Lee-Fook. I know Faith and Adrian will work together well because they are friends outside of our Media Studies class.

The three of us have already thought about a pitch for our final task. We have been coming up with some exciting ideas that would be super fun to film. Right now, we are thinking about filming in the horror genre. But, nothing is set in stone and we still have a lot of planning to do. With our new member, I know this project is going to be epic!

Genre Research: It Chapter Two

Image
  After watching It Chapter Two, we noticed a variety of elements that umbrella the horror genre. This movie had tracking shots, point of view shots, tilts, pans, and close ups. We all enjoyed the close ups and tracking shots because it created a chilling suspense towards it. Whenever the clown was making an appearance the close up on him made it very frightening. For example, when Bill was stuck in the House of Mirrors at the carnival with the clown the close ups made it very scary. As you saw the clown repeatedly bang is head into the mirrors vividly, it drew my attention and made us feel as if we were apart of the movie. The fear really creeps in when you believe you are in that character's position. Additionally when It the clown arrives there is always a non diegetic sound that associates with him. As the audience when that sound plays you know he is about to arrive. We did enjoy this because it makes you want to protect the characters in the movie when that song arrives. As f...

Final Film Review

Image
 In our last film review, I had my history teacher, Ms. Moran, look over the first draft of our film. It wasn't complete and was missing much of the components like sound, music, and transitions. However, she gave us some critiques that I kept in mind while editing our final project.  One of her critiques were the inconsistencies in the lighting. In order to fix this, Adrian and I went through each scene and put a filter or color over the scenes to make them match as best as possible. After doing this, the scenes looked more consistent and smoother. Ms. Moran also told us that the cup didn't look like it was filled with blood. To fix this, we met back up to film a few more shots that would display the blood better. We filmed a point-of-view shot of Faith looking down to the cup. We also filmed a scene where we dropped red food coloring on the plate to give the effect of blood. After we went back and fixed these components, we decided to show Ms. Moran again. This time, our fil...

Planning Our Horror Film

Image
 Location:   We will be filming at my house (Adriana's). My room matches the description of the room in our script and I also have all the props we need: dolls, teapots, and clothes.  Participants:   The actor for this film will be me (Adriana). The cameraman will be Faith and the editor will be Adrian. I'm probably the best choice to be the actor because all the costumes belong to me and are my size. Adrian is tech savvy and good with editing, so he will be the main editor. That leaves Faith to handle the camera! Health and Safety:   This film has little risks, but there is one. In one scene, we have a tea kettle go off on the stove and we will be handling hot water to get shots of steam. We've researched what the first aid procedure for a burn is and it says to run the burn under cold water and bandage it. We are filming near my kitchen, so we'll have a sink near-by. Schedule: I have band practice every Tuesday and Thursday, with some impromptu practices and e...
