My Pitch

 To decide what to base my film on, I have developed two pitches. My proposal for my first film's genre will be horror. I have an old Halloween costume that includes a mask worn by a ghoul to hide his identity. I will not use the same concept for my film, but I will use the mask to give off an eerie feeling. If something goes wrong, I will wear an old killer clown Halloween costume. I will only show the face and not the full costume. I will have clothes over the original costume outfit. My sister has her license so she can take me to a park at night time to give the film a setting. I will be the attacker or pursuer, and I will be after my sister who will be in the film. I am very interested in making this film because I enjoy watching horror games, and YouTubers playing them. On the other hand, horror really scares me, but despite this, the genre has always interested me. My second film will be drama. This film would also feature my sister. I want to make it a sister feud and make the smallest situations into the most dramatic arguments. I want to include unexpected scenes and actions that will be surprising to the viewers. I am interested in this kind of film because my and my sister do not argue for the most part. My sister is known to be a dramatic person, and she is also into theatre. I believe her acting and creativity can help to make this film thrive more. She is someone I am very comfortable with, and we know how to joke around with one another (we are considerate of each other's feelings). This will help our acting and dramatic moments to be more realistic because we are siblings, and we know how most siblings arguments are carried out. I like the horror film idea more than the drama film. I feel that it would be better and more creative. The horror genre has aspects and characteristics of other genres as well. It includes action, adventure, and drama as well. Suspense and jump scares are dramatic which are included in horror films. This goes to show that you can do so much more with the horror genre, and there is much more room for creativity. I will focus more on the horror, terror, spooky costumes and props rather than the add ons like extra drama.

My Music Video

Image
  Filming this music video was somewhat complicated. Procrastination and my being shy played a big part in the delay of filming. From the beginning of the process of making this music video, I already had a plan. The song "Halfway There" came to me because it was stuck in my head. I thought it would be the perfect song to use due to its positive message, and the fact that it is school appropriate as well. In my music video, I did my best to give off an optimistic vibe in the video, but it was somewhat difficult. When it came down to filming the video, my cousin, my sister, and I worked as a team to obtain quality footage for the music video. In some parts of the video, the ecstasy was forced because we are not overly happy people. On the other hand, we did have some genuine moments of fun for other parts of the music video. The quality, the outfits how I planned them, the interaction, the acting, and the editing of the video are the things I am most proud of. The aspect I am ...

Genre Research: Horror

 This PowerPoint is a project I was instructed to do that is based on the horror genre. I worked on this PowerPoint in the beginning of the year with another student. We were asked to pick a genre from a list of other genres, and research it. Our research consisted of common lighting, camera angles, movements, Mise-En-Scene, elements of horror, example films, common sounds and what we like and dislike about the genre. I have noticed that this PowerPoint has been altered because the slide where I explained my dislikes about the genre is missing. Since this assignment didn't involve meeting in person, it was quite simple to complete. My partner and I split the amount of slides somewhat evenly, which means we each had a responsibility to finish our part of the project. I did the slides that involved videos, the Mise-En-Scene, the common angles and my dislikes about the genre. My partner did the common lighting, elements, film examples, and the likes about the genre. I knew how to add ...

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 This storyboard represents how I would like the process of filming the music video for the song Halfway There. I will try to meet my own expectations and hope everyone follows through with my ideas. The first box is what I need to do in order to begin the filming process, which is to go to North Carolina to be with my family. The second one is how I will approach the idea of including my cousin and family in the video. I will then make sure they are ok with being on camera, and part of the music video. This is a very important part of the project because this could make or break it. The third one represents us planning which days to record the clips for the music video. The fourth one represents another important part of the filming process, the weather. The weather has to be what we desire it to be to even record. The plan is for it to be sunny outside to symbolize happiness. The fifth one represents us picking basic outfits to wear for the music video and props that people use e...
