Research and Planning ..

    I've been doing a lot of thinking and researching. And I feel as if my best genre choice for the type of film I have in mind would be a documentary. But you can never be too sure, so I'm still debating on my final decision. It may take a while, possibly a couple days to come to a final decision.. But the second I figure out which genre I'm doing for sure, I'm getting straight to work.

    I watched a few short films slightly similar to my idea, because there was not really any examples on the idea I have for my film.. Due to the fact it's kind of a new topic to the community and creative. In all honesty, I truly love my idea but I'm not really sure I'll be able to pull it off due to my environment and not having the proper tools or for say equipment.. I really want to just tell you guys, but UGHHH!! I don't want to spoil the surprise :(. If I don't feel like my original idea is going to come out the way I plan it to in the following week, I have a back up plan. So, I'll replace my original plan with my back up plan. 

    A few documentaries I took a look at were "The way I see it", "I am not your negro" and "The mask you live in" and about two more but I don't remember the names and I can't find them. I still have not decided on whether I'm going to work inside a group or not yet. By Friday I will come to a final decision for whether I'm working in a group or not and decide on the final genre for the film. I can't wait to start actually working on my film although it may be stressful, I'm still quite exhilarated :)!!

What kinds of sounds do you need to add? How are you doing so?

      The kind of sounds that I need to add to my film is sketchy, scary music. And that is what me and my group members inserted into our film when editing. We added scary, sketchy, and creepy music into our film.      We added music extra audio to our film by download a sound file and inserting an audio file into our film, we did this by using help from the website "WeVideo" it is very helpful and kind of easy to use after you get the hang of how everything operates and works along side of your film.      We made the audio clips of the creepy and scary music much more lower than the actually sound provided from the videos that were taken while filming. Some of the sound from the video was very low so we had the raise that sound on the videos and make the audio from audio file and music much more lower than the other music files.

What are the conventions of titling in your genre, and how did you follow or challenge them?

         The conventions of the genre that i chose to do for my film is that the setting of the horror/comedy film must be in the woods, a graveyard, or a dark isolated place so the audience will know as soon as they see the setting this movie may be a horror film. The custom of the killer may be a mask or a dark outfit with their revealing face. The setting for the comedy scenes will be in public local areas making the film not only frightening, but also funny so it entertains the audience more.     The most frightening part of my film was shot in a very empty and isolated park and field where no one other then the characters in the film was spotted. And the character in my film ran while in the empty field just felt as if it never ended.
