Genre Decision Blog

 

 All of the genres were very intriguing but, we have decided to do thriller. Moreover, the suspense, psychological and mystery side of thriller. The other genres didn't involve much mystery like thrillers do and my group and I wanted the mystery and suspense aspect in our film. Also, horror and thriller are almost alike. They contain many  of the same aspects such as camera angles, lighting, sound, and much more. Sometimes they may have similar plots/storylines too. However, horror movies differ from thriller because they display more of a scary horrific aspect. Horror movies usually contain ghost, demonic characters and activities, and much more unrealistic terrifying things. On the other hand, we have researched drama. Drama is great but it usually contains many problems/ conflicts and arguments which is why it is called drama.  Drama movies also deal with a lot of emotions whether it be happy, mad, or sad, the characters tend to be very emotional. 

    To continue, my group and I have settled on producing a thriller opening sequence. We all love the thriller genre and had the perfect idea in mind. Based off of inspiration from two television shows we knew exactly how to go about our opening sequence. We had a good starting point and as we put ideas together everything came along. The two television shows that inspired our idea were pretty little liars and scream. They both had similar mysterious, suspenseful, psychological plotlines. 

    Overall, we all shared a common interest for thriller movies and the many different aspects of it. The different ideas that we had in mind for our opening sequence were all involving the common acts and features you would typically see in thriller films. As a result, we've decided to go with thriller as our genre for this final task.

During the filming process

We have all the equipment prepared for the filming process. During it, it will take time to film. So, we just used some time to practice filming. We were a bit unsure on how long we needed to film. If we filmed a long time, then it would be difficult to choose what shots we wanted. At the location, we had to be sure of a few things. The framing we made sure were correct. Plus, we wanted to include the right scenery to go with the film. We always double check if we did everything correctly. It took a while to include all of the camera angles and movement. We had to practice a few times. After filming, we took note of the sound quality of the shots. If the sound quality was not that great, then we would just redo the scene. I am not sure if we recorded background sounds. We will do if we have not. As of right now, we are deciding whether to refilm the mall scene this week. We are not sure yet, due to transportation and scheduling issues. We might be filming the mall scene because we did ...

What I did during the editing process

First, I went through each take and trimmed the unnecessary parts. Then, I merged and trimmed all of the takes on iMovie. To avoid choppy transitions, I further trimmed the video on an app called Splice. This way I can be sure that the commercial goes smoothly.  There will also be fast beat music throughout the commercial. Finding the music was a simple process. All I did was screen record the music and used an app to add the music to the commercial. This was easier than I thought.  In the last scene, there is a before and after scene. For that, I took two pictures and I added both of them in a collage. Then, I merged that collage into the commercial. This way, viewers will see the difference the detangling brush makes. In the fifth scene, I sped it up. This way, viewers will see how fast the detangler works. Also, they will see that you do not need to brush for a long time.  One scene had about 2-4 takes. I have six scenes in total. Merging and trimming took a while. I h...
