Genre Research: Horror

 The opening for my film will follow the steps of a the genre of horror. The reason I picked this genre is because it best fits the storyline I am trying to convey. This storyline will follow the main character being hunted by a serial killer. This will then lead to the character hiding from the killer as they have close encounter. Creating suspense in some scenes, trying to get the viewers on the edge of their seats as they wondering if the main character will get killed. When coming to the conclusion of which genre I will follow, I thought of what the scenes of my film will look like. By thinking of what I wanted my film to look like I helped myself to see which elements of my film was the closest to the elements of all the genres. When doing this I found that my film best fit the elements of a horror movie, now seeing that the scenes I thought of could have been viewed in many horror films. By having chosen this genre, I am now able to see what steps I need to follow to make my film embody the structure that a horror film has. Going on from this point, I will refer to the elements that horror films have, making the research vital to the end result of my final task.

Planning for the final task: location, health, schedule and more

  Schedule: 3/1/21- 3/2/21:   Actors will revive script and storyboard. This will give the actors time to take in the film and understand what they will do and prepare for their roles. During this time the actors will be able to ask any questions about the film and eliminate any confusion before filming. 3/3/21 All props and costumes will be gathered in order to prepare for filming to begin. This will help as it wouldn't leave me in a rush at the end to get the supplies I need while making sure that I have them without risking a store not having it in stock. 3/4/21- 3/22/21:   The first set of filming will take place. During this time I will record all takes of the scenes with different angles. This will then allow me to review what I like and didn't like in the following days. 3/23/21- 3/24/21:   The first part of editing will take place. In these days I will review all the takes closely and make sure that I have scenes that I want keep and others that I might have...

Enhancement in Filming and Editing

Being that this project was the second official filming project I had, their definitely things I changed during and after I finished the project. Although I knew I was happy with the results, there was still for improvement and with the time I had left before the music video was truly due thats what I did. If I felt that a scene should be reshot or edited more thats what I did. By doing this, I would make my film look better as I improved the shots took and the smoothness of the film. I believe making these changes truly helped my film as developed the storyline. One of the main reasons why I decided to change a few scenes is because of how I felt with them. Looking over the film and being "ok" with a scene didn't fit right with me and thats why I decided to change it by redoing them to improve camera quality and camera angles to better fit the screen. One scene that was effected by this was the close-shot of the eyes as when filmed the camera was centered correctly, eith...
