The Final Touches

Image
For us all, the editing process was a crucial part of creating our film. We spent many hours reviewing footage, piecing together the story, syncing audio and video, and color grading. It was a time-consuming process, but we knew it was necessary to create the final product we wanted. One of the challenges we faced was deciding which shots to use and in what order. We had to make sure that the story flowed well and that each shot added to the overall narrative. We also had to be mindful of pacing, tone, and mood. Another challenge was finding the right music for the film. We wanted to use music that fit the mood and tone of the scenes, but we also had to be mindful of copyright laws. We spent a lot of time searching for royalty-free music that fit our vision. Throughout the editing process, we had to stay in constant communication with each other. We had to make sure that everyone was on the same page and that we were all working towards the same goal. This meant being open to feedback ...

Our Prop Setup

As a student working on a film project with my classmates Max, Alec, and Denton we needed a prop murder weapon to use in one of our scenes.  We decided to use a knife as it was a common tool and easily available to us.  Using a knife as a prop for a murder scene was not an easy task as it posed a safety risk if not handled carefully.  Before we started filming, we made sure to practice using the knife safely.  We learned the proper techniques for holding and manipulating the knife, as well as how to keep it away from our bodies while using it.  We also ensured that the knife was blunt and had no sharp edges to prevent any accidents during filming.  Once we felt confident in our abilities to handle the prop, we incorporated it into our scene.  As the actor holding the knife, I had to make sure that my grip was firm but not too tight, to prevent any slippage or accidents.  I also had to be mindful of the angle and position of the knife to ensure tha...

Final Genre Decision

Image
After looking over each genre, we decided that, in order for our pitch to be correctly formatted, that the thriller genre would fit. We came to this reason because the thriller genre is almost exactly how we want the opening sequence for our pitch to be like, scenes full of suspense and avid movements. The reason why horror genre wouldn’t work for our pitch was due to the plot having no horror sense at all. The plot of our pitch is greatly action-related and a horror genre wouldn't fit to all the scenes having more movement. Our opening sequence is based on a rivalry, not some upper entity who controls all of the environment around the protagonist, which is why horror genre would also not be a good fit. The action genre was another candidate but had felt as if it were the same type of energy as a horror film rather than an thriller. Throughout each and every action film I had researched on, there were lots of action and movement throughout scenes, however, most were spook-related i...
