Movie Research: Slasher Smile

 What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?

I liked the complete monster trope. I feel like it would be fitting if an actual being/monster is the villain and not some person who wants to kill. I also enjoy the paranoia fuel in the movie, it creates an eerie and uncomfortable atmosphere for the viewer even after the movie.

What conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you liked?

I enjoyed the unintentional uncanny valley, the smiles are iconic and it creates an unsettleness. I also liked the trope of an alternative character interpretation, this really brings out a twist. I enjoy having my mind mangled when the alternative path is revealed. 

What conventions of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you, and are you considering not filming for your final task?

Things I found unpleasing was the narm in the film, I would hate for my film's scenes to be perceived as something it is not supposed to be. Although some may could be cute and have a little charm, that is not what I am looking for. I also find one-scene wonders to be a tad out of my preference, I do not like change and hate when someone comes and goes without much impact in the plot or movie.

ROLE CALL

For the movie intro, I have decided to work alone instead of in a group. There were a multitude of reasons why I decided to work alone. This happened because my friends in media studies already had the maximum number of people in their groups. Also, I didn't want to ask people I did not know. Another reason is that I was concerned about not participating enough to the point where I couldn't really talk about the contributions I made to the music video. Even though it may be more difficult since I will have to do all of the work. I think it will be alright since I have adapted to being by myself. Yes, I did want to work in a group, but there's nothing to it if everyone I know already has groups with the maximum amount of people. Besides, it will also give me more freedom when it comes to this and I will not feel awkward or self-conscious about my actions. Also, I'll be able to do my work without being held back or having to do someone's work. The more that I think ab...

Re-Editing Blog: Finishing Touches

Image
What's up, gang. When it came to editing, I had to remove all of the scrapped scenes that I did not like. Then, I replaced them with the clips I redid. To call it tedious was an understatement, it was rough. Not only did it mess up my title screen, but it also messed up with the transitions I had. So, it was very infuriating to redo all of that as well. As I edited my project, I got the gist of it and began mindlessly editing. That way, I could trick myself into thinking that it is going way faster than it actually is. However, while editing, I was messing with my project when I accidentally closed out of it while trying to exit out of a notification. Not only did I accidentally lose most of my progress, but it also meant that I had to restart the splicing and editing of the three clips. So, I had to remove those clips and redo all of those clips. Also, I had to fix the transitions from the other clips that were next to those clips since they also got messed up. I was filled with r...
