CCR Part 1

 This is my CCR Part one where ill be answering half of the questions. Stay tuned for the next video! Script:  Hi, welcome to my podcast I'm natalie ehney and I'm going to be talking about my moving opening. The first question is How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Conventions are used by our product, which originally appeared in the horror genre. Horror is the genre of our film; and it can be fiction or nonfiction, and its goal is to frighten audiences. Our plan was to create a horror genre fiction. The horror genre included elements like  plot twists, a sense of terror, and cliffhangers. These components are a part of our own product. You can observe a guy looking for someone in our product. The guy finds a monster-like thing that is racing after him and stabbing a girl while he is looking for someone. The audience is left with a lot of unanswered questions, like what happened to the girl and who is after and m

Final Edits

Hey Cambridge! In my latest blog post, I shared how I involved my mom and sister in reviewing the opening sequence of my film. While my mom didn't have any specific feedback, my sister did. She pointed out that the lighting in the sequence didn't evoke the horror effect. We decided to take this feedback and use it. Taking my sister's feedback, we set out to improve the opening sequence by focusing on editing the lighting. Since we had already conducted research, we went back to review and look at horror film lighting atmosphere. We realized that the lighting in typical horror films tends to be significantly darker than what we initially had. With this realization, we went back editing and began adjusting the lighting settings accordingly. Initially, we experimented by increasing the saturation and decreasing the brightness, but found that this approach didn't seem right. So we reduced the saturation and darken the lighting instead. This adjustment proved to be better be

Feedback & Review For Opening Seqence

 Hi! Welcome Back. If you made it here than you would know by now that we finished our opening sequence. Since it's completed I wanted to get feedback. Feedback isn't just about validation or criticism it's important for growth and improvement. By seeking feedback, we open ourselves up to fresh perspectives and constructive criticism that can help us refine our work and take it to the next level. With this in mind, I wanted to be able to get feedback on our opening sequence. So I reached out to my  mom and my sister to provide feedback.  First up was my sister, who watched the sequence and shared her thoughts. She enjoyed it and found it entertaining. However, she  pointed the lighting was not that good. Next, I turned to my mom for her feedback. She found the opening sequence to be good and didn't have any specific critiques to offer. While her feedback was positive it showed that different viewers may perceive our work differently. Which is why it was important for me

Finding Music For Opening Sequence

 Hi Blog! Exciting news we wrapped up filming and editing. We are now in the final stages of completing our film. All we need to do now is add music. My group and I looked for music to add to our film. When looking for music we were looking for music that is spooky and scary. To give it that scary vibe that it's in horror films. We were trying to find songs that were like songs made by Radiohead, and Deftones. We decided to use the song song 'Back To School' by the music group Deftones. It was licensed by Warner Records. We sent the email acquire if we can use there music for our film. But we ran into a problem. We emailed them but there was no reply. Since we had no reply we can't use this music. Due to time being limited we resulted using copyright free music. This is okay though. Even though we didn't want to use copyright free music it still worked out for us. As copyright free music is super coinvent Since we just need to look for one on YouTube and just find o

Finishing Editing

Hello Cambridge ! It's great to be back and I hope you're all doing well. Here's a update on our film process. After consideration among our team, we've decided to maintain the existing footage without further filming. Unfortunately, our busy schedules have made it challenging to coordinate additional filming sessions. But dont worry and rest assured were dedicating our time into editing to ensure the final product is the best we can do. Right now were focusing on getting the editing done. As mentioned in a previous blog post, we're using  Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the  footage we've captured. Collaborating with my team, I've been involved in guiding the editing process for this new footage. We agreed that  the new footage should be added to the beginning of the video would make the footage flow better. It was also a better fit then the footage that was previously in the beginning. This decision was reached through thoughtful discussion through texting. Onc
