CCR Day 1

      My film uses genre conventions because of how the film starts. It starts with 2 women driving and their car breaks down, I feel as if this scene is typical horror film. As well as when they begin to realize they are lost in the woods. My decisions weren’t hard to make for this opening because before I even really started, I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do. The setting I chose was fairly easy to not only film but make it make sense in the sense of what is going on. It is the woods which goes hand in hand leading to when they find the house that they will soon try to enter. As of sound, the music that is played in the back is to create some type of suspense. This will have the viewers nervous or questioning what is about to happen next.

Social issues in my genre are represented typically through people getting lost with no communication to others. Sometimes even, they are trapped somewhere, it must be discrete and separated from everyone else. I used these issue in a helpful way to my film. These issues would be when the car breaks down, I chose this to help lead up to when they get lost in the woods. This was very helpful to my film and plays a big part in what comes after. Without this, they wouldn’t even have got lost in the forest nor been able to find the house at the end of the woods. This was very useful to my film and helped it severely.

Production company choice

 How will your film be exhibited?  In the most realistic manner, I think the only way for my film to be exhibited would be off of YouTube. I think that as well is the easiest way to publicize my film. It would be almost impossible to get my film on bigger cites such as Netflix, Theaters, or even Hulu. I honestly have no problem with displaying my film on YouTube because it is a platform anyone and everyone can access. Unlike things such as Netflix, where everyone needs an account with a subscription to even be able to view the film.  How will your choice of production company affect the way audiences engage with your film?  My choice of production company will affect the way audiences engage with my film by giving them a easier way to access it. If I place my film on YouTube I will most likely receive more views and subscriptions because of the fact that it is visible to everyone. Theoretically if my film was only in theaters then it would only be...

Finishing film script

 What is the shooting schedule for your film opening? I have not put it together just yet, but soon I will construct it. When I begin to put it together I need to speak with my actors to see when they are available. Once I speak with them I will be setting the location which is my house, the time will be sometime in the afternoon/ night on a weekend or 3-5 on a week day. I would prefer to begin shooting at a time when the sun is going down. So this does affect the time those can take off to help me shoot. So overall it will be sometime in the afternoon/night most likely on a weekend. Will you record any sounds during production? If so, how? Will you record sounds in-camera or using a separate audio recording system? I will record sounds during production, I want to have music in the background that creates some sort of  suspense. I will record the sounds most likely off of my phone which will be at the same time as the film is being recorded. I am not aware of any apps I can u...

Research

 I have began my research on horror movie film openings. As well as film openings in general because there is a large variety as of what I can do for mine. I have noticed they tend to have a lot of action from the beginning. I was expecting it to be very subtle and only give a brief idea of what the film could be about. One of them was an opening for the movie "SCREAM" and it is the man chasing a woman with a knife.  Now onto how this changes my film opening. I now have to re think about what I am going to create because I had the wrong idea. That is okay though because this is what the research part is for! I am glad I did it and now have a better idea of what to create. Looking at others films not only gives me an idea of what to create but it also shows me a large variety of others and endless possibilities.  Doing research as well has given me more motivation. At first my thoughts were very scattered and I honestly had no idea what I was working on. This has helped me...
