When it comes to shooting my horror video, there are many things that I need to plan for. The first and most important thing I need to figure out is my story and then my storyboard. I made the decision to create a horror film because I like this genre, and I love the element of surprise. The genre of horror also allows for the use of special effects and stretching the imagination to really be creative in where and how I shock and scare the audience. The location I will be filming at is the baseball field at Holiday Park. I will be filming at Birch State Park. It is a great location due to its campground and its lake. It is also close to my house and perfect for the scenes I have planned for my video. That brings me to my next important thing to plan, schedule. The schedule I will be following is go to the park on the weekends. This is the time when I should be able to get most of my shooting done. Another important thing to consider is props. The props that I plan to use will come mostly from nature such as sticks, leaves, and the campground bathhouse and lake. I will need to bring a few fake body parts, marshmallows and a few other things. The next thing that I need to really think about is the monster costumes. I am not sure what the monster will look like because no one will actually know what kind of creature it is. Rubber body parts will be purchased through Amazon, or at Party City. Marshmallows can be bought at Publix. Monster costume clothing can be found in mine or my parent’s closet. My friends will step in, playing the actors I need for two of the roles. See you in the next blog.

When it comes to producing and editing my all about me commercial, there are many key factors. The key factor I will be discussing are the songs I chose. I will also talk about where they will be used in the commercial. For the commercial I will be choosing two songs that represent me. These songs will describe me as a person. One song will represent one of my past favorite hobbies. The other song will represent a special moment in my life. But to start off with, I will announce the final picture and video order. It will start off with a picture of me age three, with my Mom and Dad. This will be followed by another picture of me age four at my first year of baseball. This will be followed by a video of me at five playing baseball. Then followed by a picture of me age seven with me, Mom, Dad, My sister, and my brother (complete family). Then this will be followed by a video at nine of me and my friends. This will be followed by picture of me at eleven at my baseball championship and las...

CCR: Question 1 and 4

Hey Cambridge, I will be filming a day in the life of Dylan Tanner as I answer questions 1 and 4 of the CCR for AICE Media.   How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? In response to the first question, let’s break it down into two parts to better address both issues.   While filming this production, I chose to use a lot of shadowy imagery with fade-ins, fade-outs, tracking and sounds to build suspense without ever giving away the ‘actual monster’s’ face.   I used a variety of camera shots spanning from wide angles to close ups. I chose a variety of close-ups of the character’s faces to only reveal looks of horror and fear and to keep the identity of the ‘devil’ under wraps.    The music in the background starts out with a pleasant and low tone sound, with is paired with a visual of a clear road leading into the woods.   The tune becomes more ominous and the visual changes into a narrower an...
