Genre Research Decision / Horror

The first genre researched was Horror. These movies always seem to keep the attention of viewers while giving an uneasy or scared emotion, so it seemed like a good option to tell a story. These movies have become more and more popular over the last few years as well, which is another reason to use this genre. This genre is very vast and has so many options to explore and be able to express yourself with. The only issue with this genre was the difficulty in starting the title sequence and filming logistics. Other than this, the horror genre seems like an amazing fit for me.  

The second genre researched was action. This seemed like another great option because of the constant interest it draws. Everyone seemed a bit more interested in this genre because there were more ideas that came from it. There are more of the group's favorite movies from this genre than any other genre. This genre seemed like a better fit than the comedy genre but there was still more research to be done.  


The final genre researched was comedy. This was a last resort option in case the other two didn’t work out. Comedy movies are something everyone enjoys watching but they seemed difficult to create. There were too many loose ideas with no story line. This made the genre too difficult and put it to the back of the list.  


My final decision was to use the Horror genre. I felt it was the best fit and everything I envision to do within this film. A Horror film allows me to have some fun while also keeping it in a serious manner and being scary. I enjoy the suspense and the drama of a good storyline that has meaning and purpose to a high cause.

First Takes

 Hello again!!! Today is Monday and I am back for the first production blog of this project and I am very excited that I have completed my filming of the opening scene. This scene has begun by setting the tone for the horror film which will unfold scene by scene. With each passing day my momentum of filming gains traction and I am starting to get into a groove. With my opening scene I filmed it in my girlfriends room and played with lighting and other factors. I did not want it to be too bright as that would give too much of an energetic vibe and that is not the tone of the film at all. Instead of turning on the celing lights I used a lamp as it was moodier and not as in your face. Another tactic that I used was to add props to give a further meaning to the character in the film. My girlfriend has done an amazing job being the actor so far and I really enjoy being the filmer. I am using my iPhone in cinematic mode because the quality is very good and it is shot in 4k resolution. I ...

Closing Time...

 Hello again, today is March 9th, and I am almost at the end of this project. My movie has really shaped up since the last blog which was my start to the editing process. I got some input from some fellow students and how their productions have turned out. And mine may not be the best but I am still happy with how it has turned out. This production from start to finish took over a month because Junior year has been really hard and I have been trying to juggle SAT and ACT prep while keeping up with my grades and all my other work / tests. It gets very busy. For this project, just like all my other productions, I used my iPhone to film. Using an iPhone is just so simple and easy. It has an integrated camera that shoots in 4k quality and to edit all I have to do is select the clips and transfer them. It is extremely simple and the most convenient way to do this. I have covered a lot of content regarding this production. Coming up I have many exams as the semester is concluding which p...

Critical Reflection

Critical Reflection ^link^ Critical Reflection Kevin Ricks 1304 words How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film has three characters. The characterisation in the short film is not limited, the names of the characters are known to the audience but not too deep into depths. My short film does briefly illustrate the problems faced by the main character. The main obstacle the character faces is to escape being kidnapped while on vacation in a foreign place that is unfamiliar. At its core, the abduction of a child evokes universal fears and concerns shared across communities worldwide. It boldly highlights the vulnerabilities individuals, especially children, face when navigating unfamiliar environments, emphasizing the importance of safety precautions and vigilance. The incident in my short film prompts discussions on the responsibilities of travel not traveling alone and the help of  local authorities in ensuring the security of tourists, shedding light on ...
