production blog (reviewing and finalizing)

 My group and I ended up finishing our filming and editing within the past couple weeks. It was a lot of hard work but it was definitely worth it. Working with my group was a lot of fun. We never really had any issues working together. I would definitely work with them again for a future project. We had to make sure we had communication throughout this project to ensure we met deadlines on time. There were a few obstacles we had to overcome due to our busy schedules but we overcame them together. My group and I met up again to review and re- watch our film. We wanted to critique our film and make sure it was as good as it could be. I can't even remember how many times we re-watched our film to see if we could find even the slightest imperfection. We also had a few of our friends and family members watch our film for feedback. We decided it would be beneficial for someone else's point of view rather than just my group and I's. We didn't end up making too many changes. There were a few sound issues we've dealt with throughout the editing process. But we fixed them completely while finalizing our editing. After that we decided our film was ready and didn't need anymore alterations.


It was a huge relief when our film was finalize since we had put so much time and effort into it. I'm really proud of how our film turned out. My group and I had a lot of fun during this whole process. I'm excited for other people to watch our film and hopefully they enjoy it as much as we do.

  This film starts of with a diegetic sound. This is of a little girl coughing and struggling to breath. A two-shot of the mother and daughter are showing her struggling to breath and the mom trying to help. Over the shoulder shot is then shown looking at the daughter while the mother is talking to her. She is nodding her head no since she can't speak back. Her mom is saying she will be back. The dialogue and non diegetic sound of the creepy music intrigued the audience and made the film more suspenseful. A tracking shot caught the women falling down the stairs and falling. A dark figure was shown in a costume to be the demon of the film. This caused a element of terror. Birds eye angle was shown when the demon was following the Mom to make her look vulnerable. The setting was very dark to make the film even more intense. Lights started to flash when the demons came out and this was showing zoom ins and outs. A close up of the demon was shown and then disappeared to make the audien...

Production blog; finishing filming

Last week was spring break so we decided it was a good time to finish filming our last scenes. It was easy since we had no school and our schedules were more open than usual. We had a few scenes to film at the resurant Paige works at. When it was dark we starting filming since we needed it to be night time for our scenes. We started off with the indoor scenes first, Ella was sitting at a booth. We picked a section that was the most empty to not disturb the customers. Ella was texting her date that she was waiting at the restuant for. We had to zoom in on her phone and have different angles of her texting her date. We made sure to re-shoot this scene a few times to have it right. Next we had to wait for no customers to be at the front so we could do the scene of the girls walking up to the hostess. We got permission from the host to use her in our film as-well. Then we went outside to the alley to finish off our scenes. It was late so we made sure to have one of Paige's co-workers w...
