Genre research: The boy 2

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

Elements that this movie has based on the genre horror are terror, violence, disturbing images, and thematic elements. By disturbing images it means that there was blood and violent images being shown. There were dead bodies from the murder scenes. The bodies of the people the boy killed were shown in a angle where you could see everything. You saw the blood, the body lying on the floor, wounds, etc. There were also scenes where it showed how the boy was killing them and the process of how it happened. Also a break in was shown. It was dark lighting late at night with the boy breaking in roaming the house. Trying to kill the woman who's peacefully sleeping. 

What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?

Me and my group discussed and we like the thematic elements. By this we mean we liked the issues. The boy had some issues with his family. His parents treated him like a real person although it's just a haunted doll. They then abandoned him and left him with just a nanny. This caused the boy to have more issues than he already has. These issues made him into the murder he is. It was trigger to make him want to begin murdering people. These issues made up the plot and the story which is why we like this element of the movie.

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

Me and my group discussed it and we didn't like the violent images being shown. We both don't like to see the bloody images in movies. Some people find it cool to see things like that because it makes it interesting. We on the other hand find it disturbing in many ways. When we see the people getting killed in full detail we want to close our eyes. We find it gross because its scary and we've seen it enough in real life in accidents on the road. So that's why that element of the movie did not appeal to us.

My perspective of the editing

Image
 As we know from last project and this one, onara is the editor and camera woman while i’m the actor and idea person. With our final task coming up we have both realized that i’m going to need to learn editing. This is because the video will be longer than anyone we’ve ever done, which will make it trickier for onara to edit. Longer clips to edit, longer clips to film, transition etc. So i decided that i would be with onara while she edits this time. This is so in the future i know how to help her and i can learn by watching her. What we did is for the first part of editing which was cutting the scenes. Basically just cutting the scenes to be shorter so we didn’t take as much time in the video. This was easily done on the iPhone just by clicking edit on the camera app. Then she started putting the clips together. She put the clips together with an app called cap cut. I downloaded it myself so i can work on editing videos together in my camera roll. After that she added the sound to...

  I chose onara to work with for many reasons. The first reason is i see her almost everyday afterschool for volleyball. So i would be able to shoot with her after volleyball or before outside of school. Secondly, Our parents are friends. They trust that we will be both safe in either of there hands. If i had a partner whos family i didn't know, my parents wouldn't be to comfortable leaving me in their care. Another reason why i chose her is because she's good at finding the needed and correct research. If we need to find something ASAP she is able to quickly find it. She also is a good value to the project because she knows how to shoot. What i mean is she knows how to recognize angles and shoot them clearly. What i can bring to the table is resources. We have already thought about our commercial and what we were thinking i can provide the resources we need for it. Such as the props needed and the transport needed to go where we need for shooting. I also am an idea creator...
