 The person I chose to work with for this project is Mary H. Our friend, Ariel, introduced us and we just hit it off. She likes the same shows as me, she likes the same music as me, and we're both obsessed with David Tennant. We're both obsessed with the show Good Omens which is a screen adaption of the best selling novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. One of the main characters, Crowley, played by David Tennant is a demon from hell who has the stop the Apocalypse with an angel, Aziraphale, played by Michael Sheen. Our favorite character is Crowley because he's chaotic, funny, and has a great sense of style. I even brought the same glasses Crowley wears to school one day and she completely fangirled about it. I just love it when I find someone as obsessed about a show as me. She also wants to watch Doctor Who because David Tennant plays the doctor. I've already watched up to season 7 and really want her to watch it as well. Yesterday I revealed to her that David Tennant voices Scrooge McDuck in Ducktales, which is very puzzling if you ask me. We also both have the same  favorite character from The Umbrella Academy; Klaus Haragreeves. He's an emo that can talk to the dead. It's just beyond me how well we get along. Like I've never met someone who laughs at all my jokes. We also both cosplay, but she's a lot better than me. She mainly cosplays Starlord from Gaurdians of the Galaxy, I think. We're also planning to go to this retro diner after home coming, but none of us have cars. But at least we are both going and will be able to hang out with each other without Mr. Katz telling to do work. I'm so excited to work with Mary on this project.

Setting, Lighting, Acting, Go!

     We chose Mary ’s house to film because of the surrounding location. For scene 2 it would be better to film it on the street that the house is on because it is eerily wide with no markings and we want that   unsettling feeling to the scene. It would also make sense for a murder to happen on an abandoned looking road th an a nice one with traffic. The road next to Elena’s house isn’t as wide , is very brightly lit, and has a lot of car traffic. Mary ’s backyard is also on a canal, therefore has a clear view of the horizon, whereas Elena’s apartment complex does not. We need this horizon view for the last scene’s pan down. It then makes sense to do the inside filming in the house to keep it all in one spot.        Since the opening scene takes place at sun down, we will have to make sure that the lighting is dark. One way we will do this is by doing all of the filming after 6:00 p.m. to ensure that the sky, if not completely dark by th...

Creative Reflection

Here is my Creative Reflection on my short film Suspicion Critical Reflection.docx How do your products represent social groups or issues?   My product represents a few social groups in today’s society . Firstly, there are the vast cliques of my audience. One group is detective/police show lovers. Through my plot, which tracks the lives of two detectives, the film represents the classic format that enjoyers of detective movies such as The Fugitive and Hot Fuzz love: two detective partners, a new clue, and a plot twist. The unconventionality of the plot twist, in turns, also represents the growing psychological-thriller audience. In the coming years, psychological thrillers such as Midsummer and Hereditary have caused a stir and made the psychological thriller genre increasingly popular. I created Suspicion to represent this genre and the fanbase that comes along with it; people who appreciate the art of how angles, shots, and story create a thriller.     However, on...

Music makes or breaks a Film

Image
     I believe that the most important concept to a film's success is its film score. Without music to properly capture the suspense, excitement, and mood of the story, audiences would never resonate with the emotions of the film. For our film, we wanted the last 30 seconds to include a powerful music score. The music would take place after the two detectives wrestle on the ground and highlight the mystery of who shot who. As the camera pans up at the tress, I wanted a song that captures the peacefulness of the treetops while still being a little mysterious. As the camera pans up to reveal that Detective Reynolds survives, the screen will cut black and the credits will be shown as the music still plays. The music should be able to show the audiences shock and resolution with the plot.      Searching for music is harder than talking about it. I knew that there was no way of getting a popular song with royalties in our film. Because of this, I started to look...
