We are going to use dialogue so that the viewer can know what's going on. We're going to use it to add context to our film. What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked? I liked the scenes where the camera is close up to the person. It adds a sense of horror and fear, looking closely to the scary character. Also, I liked the over the shoulder scenes. It showed what the victim saw and that makes the viewer think that they are in the victims shoes. This also applies with point of view. What conventions of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you and you thinking of not filming for your final task? The clothing convention does n

  What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this have?  It was mainly the sound aspects and how the editing aligned with it. One thing that this movie has is a lot of dialouge which is esstential for our final task. Our final task natuarlly has a lot of dialouge in it to build suspense for the audience. Another thing was a lot of background noises in the Haunted Mansion helped bring the scenes to life which we plan on adding for our final task.  What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked?  I liked the Mis-En-Scenes.

What conventions of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you and you thinking of not filming for your final task?  Unlike the movie, where there are a lot of props and different costumes, we are keeping our final task simple.

  We decided to do the genre of horror for our opening sequence. We chose this because within our story line we will be able to insert things like sound, lighting, and angles that fit in within the genre. Also the usage of the setting and props will add to the story as well. We really like our idea and if done well, the opening sequence would be really cool and interesting. Also, when thinking of ideas, horror was one of the easier options to go with so we went with it. We are looking forward to filming and editing this final task. 

  Genre: Comedy  Common camera angles, movement, and shots:   A type of cams used in comedy films are wide shots. They are used to capture the whole scene and incorporate every element including characters, and the environment into the shot.

Close-ups reveal facial expressions, reactions, and nuances that contribute to comedic timing and deliver. Lastly, another type of angle is a low angle. This helps employ the effects of comedic effects, making characters appear larger than life, and emphasizing physical comedy.  Common mis-en-scene:  Some mis-en-scenes that are used are exaggerated costumes.

Cleverly chosen and utilized props contribute to visual gags, slapstick comedy, and humorous scenarios wi

 Pitch A:  The main character receives several calls from an unknown number about their impending future, soon discovering it’s from their future self. Discuss Pitch A: We decided to do this idea for a pitch because we found it very interesting. We thought it was cool to do this idea, yet very doable. For this idea, we don’t have to go to a specific location where we need permission to access it. We can easily film this at one of our houses in a dark place for the effect. The only thing we may find a little difficult about this pitch is the editing, but  as we go further with this idea, we think it’ll be easier to edit.  Pitch B: Sick patient seeks help from a doctor thats a secretly a serial killer injecting dangerous chemicals in their bodies. Discuss Pitch B: We are interested in doing this pitch as more of backup plan. The storyline is interesting and would be cool if done well. However, getting access to a hospital to film in would be a tedious process. None of us know someone who

  For this group project, it will be three of us. It will me be Mai’Lyia, Ludji or Ludjmillia, and Joel. The reason why I chose them for our group is because I know them. I thought it would be easier and simpler to do a project with people you already know. Ludjmilla and I are in the same class but have different periods. However, I’m in the same period with Joel. We decided to be in the same group again for the final task. This was because as a group, we did very well last time. We received a decent score on our music so we think it’ll be best for us to remain in the same group. We also thought it would just be easier to stay in the same group so we could figure out things a little earlier. Last time, I think we did very well in our group. We finished all of our work on time and within/before the due date. We made sure to all agree on certain ideas and just take over. We all cooperated and picked ideas that were best for the whole group, not just for the benefit of one member. It was

 It’s me again! I’m back for the final task time!! Hi, my name is Mai’Lyia and I’m in 10th grade. I’m 14 years old, turning 15 in a couple of days on September 21st. Yes, I’m still 14 in my sophomore year. I have 4 siblings, one biological, and 3 from different parents. I have one dog, a Doberman Pinscher named Nala. I love listening to music, like a lot. I listen to a lot of genres but k-pop is probably a genre I listen to the most. I love BTS, yes the k-pop group, I got into them in 2019. Most of the time I won’t tell people I like it, they eventually figure it out. My favorite color has always been purple since I was little. It has been a little more significant to me fo many reasons. I’d like to think of myself as an introvert. I usually only talk to people if they talk to me and then we’ll start talking more. My family would know for sure, I’m a whole different person at home. I’d like to think I’m a nice person, like the type of person to hold the door for the whole classroom or
