Week 6

 In order to know what shots to use, I had to learn them. In the movie opening my group and I had an establishing shot, wide shot, mid-shot, close-up, point of view (POV), and over the shoulder shots. For this film we tried to incorporate a lot of different shots to give more technical look to the audience. Some angles we used was low, high, and canted/dutch. This added different views in the scene which will make the audience really feel a part of the movie. The best way that my group and I learned the different shots was by reading the Media Studies textbook and writing down the different descriptions to each. Also, while watching different movies or shows I would start to notice the different camera angles and shots that were being used in the film. I also took it upon myself to research didn't angles that would be used quite a bit in the horror genre, or just in movie openings in general. Watching different media types really helped while working on this project because it was easier to incorporate the different technical elements.

WEEK 8

 My fourth and final creative critical reflection is a PowerPoint. The question I answered with the PowerPoint is, "How did you integrate technologies- software, hardware and online- in this project?"  Creating the PowerPoint: The reason I wrote my script before I started to make my PowerPoint was because I used the script to help me layout my PowerPoint slides. Basically, on the slides I added minimal detail, basically just words and pictures that corresponded with what I would talk about. This way the person listening would have visuals to look at, but they would have to listen to what I was saying instead of just being able to read the slide and already knowing what I am going to say. If I wrote out all the information, I was going to say out on the PowerPoint it would be boring for the viewers listening in on what I have to say. Filming: On PowerPoint there is an option to record straight on the app, so I didn't have to record me talking on a separate app and then hav...

Day Two of Filming week 5

      Our second production day was on Monday February 26, 2024. Peyton, Meadow, Ella, Sydney, Ella's dad (Clayton), and I arrived back at Big Cat Habitat to finish our filming. We all arrived at 4:30. The equipment we ended up using again was just the steady camera holder. We decided to arrive around the same time to make sure the lighting would look close to the same as the first production day. The first scene we started with was with Ella's dad jumping out and confronting us. Since that shot was filmed as a Point of View shot in my character's point of view, I stood behind a fence that was off-screen and signaled to Ella's dad when he should pop out. I would look at where the girls were stepping and when they were close to a line on the pavement in front of the gift shop I would signal a thumbs-up to Ella's dad to jump out. Then we filmed the chasing scene at different angles for the next 30 minutes. After we went to shoot the scenes of us locking ourselves into...
