Genre Research: It chapter two

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

We became aware of a number of components that make up this horror genre. Tracking shots, point of view shots, tilts, pans, and close ups we're all used in this film. We all like the close ups and tracking views because they added to the tense atmosphere. The close up of the clown whenever he appeared made it really frightful. When the new scene was about to start, the pan and tilt took the audience to a new location. Also, when the clown shows up, a non diegetic sound is always associated with him. You can tell he's coming with the sound that plays in the background. The film would seem incredibly lifeless and not seem like a horror movie without each of these components. 

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

Since this was one of my group and I's favorite movies, there were many elements we really liked. starting off, we did love the movies background sound effects when the clown was going to appear because when that song starts playing, you immediately feel sorry for the movies characters like, you wanted to be there with them because the audience already knows what's coming, which isn't good in this case. Something else my group and i really enjoyed about the elements of this movie was the dark lighting, and the unexpected terror made it so much more thrilling. We became anxious because we wouldn't see what was coming, which heightens the tension of the situation. 

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

We believe that the movie included way too many graphic details and made me sos scared to the point i wanted to turn off the TV, although the main goal is to make and show freighting stuff. When there were closeups in the movie, they featured graphic violent imagery frequently, which could result in a scare to many viewers. Also, there was an extreme amount of blood in the movie which others could fine entertaining but i found it so disturbing to the point i didn't want to watch these scenes, i closed my eyes.

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...
