After watching the edited version of my film with my two friends and my dad everyone was suddenly a film critic. My dad wanted me to add more music. One of my buddies didn’t like the way his body looked in the leaves. My other friend wanted to wear a mask. Temperamental actors! I think the scenes with the natural leaves located in the park looked much better than the store-bought ones. Replacing them was a wise move. The day we refilmed was definitely much drier than the first shooting. Things went much better. Everyone was in better form with the sunshine. The rainy day had been good to add a somber mood to the film, but not for filming itself. We had a bit of an issue with the bath house scenes down by the lake. Over the weekend there had been someone who put a lot of graffiti on the walls. We will need to reshoot the lake and bath house scenes next week. We were kind of hoping to wrap up everything this time but no luck. We are going to review this film one more time to see what we need to fine tune. We were all relieved that the dead body scene came out so good. Laying on the ground with bugs was not fun. We all left covered with mosquito bites. See you next blog.

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 and less visible dirt path lead

Reflection

After completing this project, I learned a lot. The first thing new thing I learned was the process of putting the project together. When it comes to putting the project together, there were many important steps that led up to the final product. These steps include Intro blog, Research and Planning blogs, Production blogs, Filming and Editing blogs, Project blog, and finally the Reflection blog. All blogs are twenty or more sentences, besides the Project blog. Also, all blogs must include a piece of  media. The Intro blog is a blog about your life, or you in general. The Research and Planning blog is blog explaining generally how you will be picking and choosing information that will be going into your final project. Production blogs are blogs about what you are doing to produce your final project. The Filming and editing blogs are blogs about what you are doing to edit and create your final project. The Project blog is where you embed and submit your final project. The Reflection blog
