Production Blog

 Hello! Welcome to production. I am truly so excited to film this opening sequence final task. There was much discussion about where and when my group and I would film this final task opening sequence. I had the idea to film this project at my dads new house. My dad owns two houses and the one that the project is going to be filmed at is the house that me and my dad are moving into very soon. I had come up with this location to film because of the fact that the opening sequence is about a girl moving into her new home so having a very sharp looking new home is an amazing idea for this project. Due to the house not being moved into yet, there is no mess or clothes or anything lying around causing it to be so believable as to the fact the girl is truly moving in. The backup house would have been Harley's house but me as well as the group believed that filming at my house would be the perfect option. Every time there was a plan to film this opening sequence, the group could not really get it together because someone always had plans that were hard to get out of. Finally, I came up with a date that is going to be the beginning of Spring Break and that everyone in the group should be free to film on this day. The date is most likely going to be Thursday, March 16, 2023. I came up with this date because it is an early release day and then the next day there is no school and the next week is Spring Break. That Thursday would definitely be the best day to film because I can most likely provide transportation from the school to my house for the other group mates. If any issues come up, then either Wednesday, March 15 or Friday, March 17 would be the backup days. I enjoyed talking to you and see you next time!

Short Film Research: Party to Murder

  The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...

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...
