Same group members, except for one…

It's tough working on filming all alone, which is why I am working in a group for this assignment. I am also working in a little bit of a different group than last year. Nevertheless, let’s get into who’s with me in this group. One of the members from my AS level group, Luke, decided he did not want to continue with A level media, so he moved on to other classes. However I have gained a new group member, Riley, whom I have never worked with before. This will help me come up with a new set of ideas since I will be getting through this project with someone new. Riley is very intelligent, and has a very high work ethic which will benefit the group in several ways. He also owns a camera which can help the group record a higher quality film in comparison to using a phone. In my group, we also have Elton who is a very bright worker. He has a lot of knowledge and knows how to maintain the role of taking charge in the group. I will mostly be following his lead from what I’ve seen with how he’s worked with his group in the past. He puts a lot of effort into what he does, and it always pays off for him. I am very excited to be working with him. Last but not least, I will be working with Brayden. Brayden has played the lead role throughout the entire year with the other projects. He has a lot of potential for it, and always shows success with what he does. He is very open to new ideas and simply goes with the flow. Overall, he’s a perfect fit in the group since he does not mind different challenges to take on. Luke used to be our fashion designer, but I think I can take over his role since because it is important to have good ideas for costumes since they are a very large part in a film. They really portray a lot of what the film may be about, or the time period something is being acted out as. Overall, I am thrilled to get started with this final task and very curious to see how it’ll turn out!

1. How do your  products  represent social groups or issues? Together, my group and I made a short film about a young girl who gets stalked and abducted. It is meant to be a reflection on the larger social issue of gender-based violence and the widespread anxiety it causes in women. In the video we emphasize the vulnerability that many women encounter on a daily basis, especially while partaking in seemingly harmless hobbies like running, through the protagonist's terrifying experience. In our film, the male stalker, portrayed by me, stands in for the stereotypical predatory male, highlighting the risks associated with toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. Through a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the protagonist's suffering, the film seeks to provoke thought and increase awareness of the pressing need for societal reform to address these challenges. The film's website and postcard offer further channels for interaction by informing viewers about the fi...

Officially done…With filming

  I'm happy to inform that my group and I have finally finished filming our final video project, and the results are nothing short of stunning after weeks of hard work and commitment. This trip, while had its share of difficulties and learning curves, ended with a victory that well above our expectations.This time around, unlike the first time we filmed, everything appeared to go together perfectly. Equipped with a well-defined vision and an astute sense of direction, we skillfully and confidently maneuvered through the filming process. Simplifying our method of filming was one of the biggest changes we made. We had a well thought-out plan in place, so we knew exactly what kind of material and photos we would need to make our story come to life. With so much less time spent filming because to this newfound clarity, we were able to concentrate on capturing true and emotionally charged moments. Even though we were filming at the same park as before, we took a "less is more"...

Common Mis-En-Scène (CLAMPS) in Thriller: * Dim lighting: The combination of darkness and shadows evokes a spooky and enigmatic atmosphere. * Weird settings: Unusual or spooky locations heighten the feeling of unease. * Unsettling objects: Dolls and mirrors are examples of items that may be used to frighten you. c. Typical Thriller Editing: * Rapid cuts: These add a lot of intensity and keep you on the edge of your seat. * Juxtaposition: Irony or suspense are created by juxtaposing scenes or images. * Slow motion: Delaying some scenes lengthens the suspense and highlights key moments. d. Typical Movies of Thriller: * Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960) * M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" (1999) * Jonathan Demme's "Silence of the Lambs...
