Final Reflection

 Final Reflection

Hey blog, I finally finished this project and I can’t express how much hard work has been put into it and how happy I am it’s finally finalized. I’m really proud with how the film opening turned out and even though it took us hours to re-shoot some scenes and retake some of the things I finally ended up editing it and I found some copyright free sounds to add into it which just added the final touches. With Canva we also made the finalized intro to it like the logo so I’m really proud about that too. I finished filming my CCR‘s, which as I explained in my CCR post production I was slightly disappointed, but it’s all right because I know I tried my best. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and I really hope I can do more projects like this in the future. It has made me grow so much not only in the technical sense but also in personal growth as to how things don’t go right the first time and it’s ok to retry them and remake them and how mistakes are inevitable and sometimes there for the better.It was my first time doing a any type of film and it was my first year experimenting with shots angles editing fully sounds and it’s crazy to see how far I’ve come, but I’m really happy that I was able to do this project and step out of my comfort zone, even though these were things I was not used to doing I’m super grateful to this class for giving me the opportunity to express myself and grow. I will miss blogging and recording and being part of this amazing process along with my teammates which I became way closer with after this project.

Bye :(

Scrip #2 & Production

 

Script for CCR #2 & Post Production

I finally decided that for my second CCR I will be doing a interview/documentary/through the lewns and behind the scenes. It will be a mix of me answering the questions for my CCR along with showing the behind the process of filming with research and examples showed.

Script: killer instinct is a horror film about a woman who is love language is to kill her boyfriends this film mainly addresses issues of mental health, relationships, and death. All adding an eerie feeling to it. My phone use a lot of the common genre conventions for her like secluded locations, dark color pallets and lighting isolation all demonstrated through the involvement and commitment when it came to the sex setting decorating it full of props since our schedules were tight with them throughout the day and had to completely shut all the blinds and decide what lamps could be turned on, and which one’s789 coming along with the use of candle to represent the psychological issue within all of the film. My film also had the common villain and victim, and its sub genre would be a psychological horror following her life and psychological trauma to what let her to become this killer along with the character development however, in these films, men are usually the killers while women’s are the ones getting attacked. I wanted to turn in for my film by not only making it woman lead, but giving a twist of the woman being the one killing her boyfriends. I decided to not use a single core event, most horror use, and instead of making a single climax of a death I chose to represent the characters journey as a killer demonstrated in the film opening, though as the one that changed everything for her, I also wanted to represent how is society how dangerous relationships can be and the way this is cause so many people to be hurt whenever you don’t know the other person fully, which is why I represented it in a horror way since I mean, audience is teen to late 30s. We decided to give it the romance twist since the most popular genre in young adults tend to be romance and horror with a bigger female audience romance, making it a broad audience for the film teens nowadays are obsessed with horror movies which is seen throughout thousands of studies and statistics. We chose to represent this and for shadow in the film, opening by having the opening scene of the two main characters watching a movie horror movie we are selves had to develop since this is a pretty amateur film. It would be distributed by audiences by being submitted onto a film, festivals platforms like YouTube and Vimeo along with building an audience and promoting it online.

CCR Prep

 CCR Prep

    Hey Blogg! Today I started prepping for my CCR! Im planning on starting ,my recording process Tuesday however im still waiting in confirmation from my friends who will also be participating. I have bought a red carpet with famous items to record that part on Wednesday which I plan on doing in my backyard. My plan is to go with a small group to the movie theater tuesday at night in which were filming. For the second CCR I was maybe considering podcast or maybe like gameshow however I feel like tis not that orignal which is essential to authenticity. I have discussed different ideas im still not 100% sure about going to the movie theater becausse i think it good be hard to film in there but my idea will be essentially the same regardless. For my secomnd CCR I though about doing the voice over or documentary but I think I will do a mix of bopth to mix it up and make it more creative.

CCR Research Question 1 & 2

 CCR Research Question 1 & 2

Question 1:

"How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?"

    I first began doing a quick overview on convention and social groups or issues. Some social issues my film opening deals with is the way relationships nowadays are can be so disconnected and disassociated fue to multiple factors it leads to untrust along with never really knowing who you're spending most of your time with. However a way our products challenges conventions is by not going the typical jump scare, suspenseful horror but a more eery one in which audience is left stop by.

Question 2:

"How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

It engages with audiences because even though dealing with the topic of never fully knowing someone is pretty common and relatable its also not a typical situation a person is stuck in which i why is engages the audience. When it comes to distribution it would probably be submitted into smal films festivals or websites where you can upload film and have htme presented someone.

Planning for CCR #1

 Planning for CCR #1

Hi Blog! Since my film opening is almost finishes I finally started brainstorming for my CCR at first it was super hard I had a really hard time coming up with something until our group meeting yesterday where a idea finally came up to me. 

    My plan is to record me and my friends walking into the movie theater where im going to say "Im so exited to watch "Killer Instincts" with our popcorn and everything ready suddenly im not going to be paying attention where im going to trip over something and fall as I fall im going to enter this dream where im the director of the movie and im going be in a red carpet answering the first two questions about it: 

  • "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?"
  • "How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
    After answering them im going to wake up from the dream in which my friends were trying to get me awake from and im going to brush it off saying im ok and walking into watch the movie.
