1. What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?

    - This movie is a psychological thriller film that contains many of the same elements of our chosen genre. For starters, the storyline/plot of this movie contains a big mystery that is slowly revealed throughout the movie. Another element that is seen in this movie is suspense. Halfway through the movie we notice that things start to take a turn and from that point things get suspenseful. Furthermore, tension between the characters is another element that is seen in this movie. In this film there are two main characters who eventually realize the conflict and situation taking place. Upon realization, feelings between the two become very tense.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
2. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?

    - Fist off, I liked that it was organized and not all over the place. In other words, the plot was well developed and I was able to understand what was happening. Secondly, the camera angle, lighting and sound were all on point. They were all of the common ones you would see in thriller movies. For example, it contained ambient sound and it gave the movie a very suspenseful vibe. Furthermore, the camera angles were very good. There were close-ups, pans, tilts, tracks, and much more that really made an effect on each scene. Last but not least, it contained high-key lighting, low-key lighting and three-point lighting in different parts of the movie which was gave a great effect and made the scenes seem more natural. 

3. What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you? 


    - The movie was pretty good and most of the elements did appeal to me so it's hard to find any that didn't intrigue me. I guess something I didn't really like is that the entire movie was mainly surrounded by two people. I think there could've been more people introduced so it could seem more normal. Also, certain parts were very predictable and I think that could have been avoided. Overall, there were some minor plot holes but they didn't stand out too much therefore, they weren't too noticeable.

Editing

 After my group finished, I finally was able to get work done. My task was only to edit the mall and park scene. I think maybe Dezyrae wanted to edit the house scenes. I am not sure completely sure on who did it. Editing was very easy going. It was not difficult nor complicated at all. First, I made sure to go over every scene. I wanted to see if it followed the storyboard. I only obtained the scenes from the mall and park. The process of trimming went well. I did not have any difficulty with it. I trimmed the parts that were not needed. While trimming, I kept in mind that I did not want the videos to be too long. The final task should only be two minutes. Although, I had trouble editing the transitions. I was not sure which part to trim. So, the transitions are probably very bad. I probably could had done a better job for the transitions but it costed money to get access to the different transitions. I tried to use other editing apps. Unfortunately, almost all of them required pay...

Creative Critical Reflection

1. My product uses conventions by that I clarified about the product to help readers to completely understand what my product is used for. I would say that this product is welcome to all hair types. Growing up, I struggled to find hair brushes that will not cause unnecessary damage to my hair. I have tightly coiled hair so, my hair is hard to tame. Those with the same hair type as me, or a hair type closer than it, finally know a product that is pain-free and detangles just fine. 2. My product engages with audiences by that we all struggled to find the right tools that would work for our hair. It is important for us to choose products that will work for our hair and prevent hair damage. This would be distributed as a real media text through a commercial. A commercial would do good at explaining this product more. People will be informed about how this product can work for your hair and reduce damage.  3.I would say that my production skills improved a bit while working on the comme...

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?  An element we'll be using in our final task is intense music. We want to create a lot of suspense in our movie. So when the girl receives the texts/letters, we'll use intense music. We'll also be using the element normality. The girl is going to pretend nothing is wrong during the task. The other girls won't know anything's wrong, so they'll also be acting normal. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? Intensity: At the beginning of the movie, Sandra is explaining to the kids that they must remain silent and alert. As she explains, the audience gets an intense feeling. Intense music/ sound motifs: After the beginning scene, there's intense music and the sound of the creature playing. This keeps the audience on their toes because it feels as if something is about to happen. Normality: While Sandra and the kids are on the water, the scene switche...
