My Music Video

  It's done! I am so happy that I finished this amazing project. I ran into some problems along the way but all in all, I am happy with the outcome. The only thing I am a little disappointed in is the quality of my video. It was all good until it came to upload my video onto Youtube. However, this is a learning experience to also keep the quality of any project at top priority.  This entire process took about 1 week if you don't count the days that I did nothing. I had a lot of fun with this and will 100% do it again if I have any free time. One way I think I could've improved was with the number of people in the music video. I originally planned for about four people to be in it but I ended up with one. But, you have to work with what you got. Luckily, I was able to film and edit with what I had and I am grateful for that. My favorite part of the film was the car shots. I can't really explain it but recording those shots was so intriguing. One of my favorite parts to e...

Choosing our pitch

 We chose mystery as the genre of our short film. We decided between mystery, drama, and thriller. The decision did require us to really take into consideration how we wanted certain parts of the short film to be perceived from the audience. Mystery seemed like the best fit because in the plot of our short film, the audience is kept wondering what’s happening until the end, which was more mystery than drama and thriller. We also plan to use many of the common camera movements,angles, sound, and many other aspects of horror. In our short film the audience is gonna keep watching because of their personal investment to find out what is happening. We didn't think our short film would be a thriller because although we have a measure of suspense it does not have the adventurous aspects many thrillers have. Although thriller and mystery are closely related, the direction we chose to take our short film was closer to mystery. We also did not pick drama because we found that drama’s have ma...

Short film research: WHITTLING AWAY/Mystery

Common Sound This short film heavily involved diegetic sound from the river's flowing to the cuts of the knife whittling of the wood.  Common Mis-En-Scene This short film used casual clothing. The Dad wore a t-shirt with pants, and the daughter wore a crop top with jeans. The daughter even has her hair a little messy, which contributes to the curiosity of the watchers. Why is her hair messy? Where was she before this? What is she doing? One of the main props is a tiny knife. We do not get to see the purpose of it until the very end of the film. The lightning in this film is semi-dim. The shots in the house are well light while the scenes in the foster are dim, which creates an eerie feeling. There is no makeup present in the film. The setting of this film is set in a rural area. The house is near a forest with a river. Common Editing This film used lots of mid-shots. Typically, they were used during the scene between the Grandmother and the Dad. In this scene, the Dad is panicking ...
