Genre Decision

 Choosing a genre for our movie was a slightly hard decision. There are many different advantages that come with each genre. With Horror, there were many great aspects, it had many great camera angles such as the low angle, the high angle and tilted angles. It also had establishing scenes that build up tension and bring excitement to a viewer. On the other hand the True Crime genre brings realism. With close-up, extreme close-up shots, dolly movements, handheld shots, and over the shoulder shots, that get the viewer wondering and suspenseful.  But ultimately after deep consideration, our group has decided that our genre for our movie will be Thriller. There are many different advantages to the thriller genre, for one the thriller genre is many different genres fused into one. But, one main distinctive characteristic of this genre is a plot twist. Usually in a thriller the point is to thrill the viewer, and the way that movie directors do this with the thriller genre is by adding surprising and unexpected plot twists. They build up connections between the characters which usually ends up into a betrayal of some sort. We as a group feel like this was the best choice that would fit with our pitch: "Four friends on vacation trip, friends plans the trip also plans to kill everyone attending." The thriller genre also grabs the viewers attention with many different shots, such as the eye level shots, point of view shots, and tracking shots. Thriller is known to be a typical "scary" genre so there are a lot of great moving shots that emphasize the scene in a real life scale. We felt like  thriller also gave us liberty to use many different sound tools since typically in the genre they use all different sorts of sounds, such as dialogues, ambient sounds, diegetic, non-diegetic, and sound motifs. Lastly in thriller's there are a variety of costumes available which not only makes it easier for us to find types of costumes, it also gives us freedom to do what we really want to do without genre restrictions. Overall we are affirmative with our decision on doing thriller as our genre, and we know that it is the right genre for us to do our movie in.

Another Year!

   Hi again! We're back for another year in A level Media! My name is Jordyn Jackson and I attend Fort Lauderdale High School where I take AICE Media Studies. In the beginning I was very skeptical, I didn't know what I was getting myself into and felt like everything was going bad. Sometimes I still don't know what I'm getting myself into but those are the chances you take with AICE classes. During my time in this class I've learned so much that can help me in the future if I ever to plan on going into the film industry. It's a very complex class, with many things you have to remember, but if you do your job throughout the year you won't have a problem. Even though I do have a job, I plan to make everything work so I am able to put my all into this last film. It may be complicated and time consuming with other things I have on my plate at the moment, but I plan on making everything work so this can be the best film. For this last film I plan on going into pr...

Let's Go Again

 Here we are again. Another day of filming amongst us. Today my group and I filmed another part of our final project. We filmed at Nicole's house again since that's where we decided we would be filming mostly all of the film. When we were all at Nicole's we sat and discussed which scenes we filmed. I had brought my duffel bag so we decided to film some of the park scenes that we could. Deciding this, we used Pedro's car to drive to a large grassy area near Nicole's house. I wouldn't consider it a park since there were not play equipment, but there was enough space to do what we had to do. We pulled up to the park and looked over the script to see what we were doing. The first thing I did was hop out the car and go over what everyone was supposed to do. There is a scene where I am supposed to get a call from an unknown number and since we were recording on Nicole's phone, Pedro called me from *67 so the call would come up from unknown. Nicole filmed my scenes...

A Cancellation!

      It's a very upsetting time. On Sunday, my group and I had a plan to film the first section of our final film. A little issue we had was that Damaine had some unexpected plans come up. Damaine was unable to film with us because he had a last minute dinner come up that it was crucial for him to attend. He told us this last minute which was not great for us but it was fine. The rest of my group mates and I just had to make a change of plans which was fine. The plans we made were that we would all leave school together on the upcoming Thursday that was a half day and all go to Pedro's house. We would all get something to eat after school and head to Pedros house where we would eat and film after. My group and I also planned to hopefully film everything in one day. This may not be possible so we have also set aside Saturday the 19th to film again during the evening. Since we did not film this past Sunday, my group and I went our separate ways. I went into work, Nico...
