Using all the lessons this week to go back and finish all our unfinished work on weebly: adding and analysing our youtube videos, finishing pages, filming interviews, editing filmed footage and just getting up to date with our work.
WE'VE FINALLY GOT A FINISHED IDEA FOR OUR HORROR OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE! During todays lesson, we sat together and filled out a sheet that brainstormed our ideas together, to then finalise our final idea. We then sat and listened to all the other groups OTS ideas, giving them ideas to make theirs better.
In todays lesson we went through some of the theory behind horror. For example, we went through the idea how the killer normally has had issues at childhood, houses, schools and hospitals make horror films scarier because they are associated with being safe, no guns should be used in horror, victims are better being pretty women and the final girl is normally the intelligent one. We also searched for more of our own to put on our theory page.
So in todays lesson we started looking at how to edit shot after shot. We learnt the names of different types you can sequnce your shots, a description of that and examples of when they could be used.
Today, in our theory media lesson I learnt what Mise-En-Scene translated to and what aspects in a film it covered. We were then given a worksheet including a screenshot of a scene from 'American Psycho'. On this sheet we had to fill in the element of Mise-En-Scene and why it was used/the connotations of that element.
We made and tested different types of fake blood today, guess who drew the short straw to having it tested on? me.
Once again i'm online finishing all our pages we've started so far and making sure we're caught up and up to date with our website.
Searching through endless backdrops, overlays and sounds on YouTube trying to put together our Distribution Company clip and Production Company clip. Made a group decision with the names of these! "Terrestrial Planet Films" is our Distribution And "Trapped Production" For our Production company.
So in todays lesson we went through a variety of different colours and the meaning behind them. This then made us think about why they're in certain films. We also thought about the impact it had on the audience.
Screenshot here and screenshot there. just Filling our Audience Research pages with audience research to back up our OTS idea.
