The Plan

 It’s so nice of you to stop by! Planning is essential to creating the opening scene. My group and I are thinking that filming should take place at Natalia’s house. For the opening scene of our thriller, we felt her house would be best suited for our vision. My house is the most convenient and logical. The ideal day we are attempting to complete filming is Friday March 17th after school. Our project will have scenes that take place during day and night so after school will be perfect. Filming after school allows us to have plenty of time to do our day and night scenes. Ideally, the plan is for everyone to go home with me from school. This is so that none of them have to rely on other rides to make it to my house. We will take many safety precautions. Our film will contain a pool scene so health and safety precautions include our group being in possession of a life vest. We will also have a first aid kit on hand. Costume and props are a vital component to the opening scene. This include bathing suits, the killer’s costume, average clothing and an object used for murder, ext. Our back up plan is to film at Harley’s house if mine is unavailable. Our group is beyond excited about filming. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Catch you next time!

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...

Whittling away

 Hey guys welcome back!  The murder mystery, short film, we chose was called whittling away. This film features, a father, a grandmother, and a daughter. To start the scene, the daughter is shown at a deserted lake, which creates a suspenseful theme for the murder mystery. This is a great way to create engagement for the audience. The short film progress to a snippet of the girl drawing blood into the lake. The girl despaired for almost the whole duration the short film  until the plot twist at the end . The use of diegetic sound creates the outside scene for the characters. Our film will also use diegetic sound to create scene. As well as no diegetic sound for our credit scene. Just like the short film party to murder, “the whittling away” there is a plot twist. This startagy  is a great example of the other ways on how to execute one for our film. In the editing of this short film, it goes back-and-forth between the daughter and fathers point of view. If our group ...
