The final blog

Image
  Hello, my loyal listeners. I am back with lots of news to share. After giving my edits from personal feedback, the job is complete. I have gone back and fixed what my peers have told me to fix. I hate to admit it, but they were right. I did need to use those editing techniques because without them I would not have had an actual horror project. It now looks a lot cleaner, and I could not have had more helpful feedback. All the editing is done, and I now know how to edit a lot more. To think at the beginning of this class I barely knew how to do a lot. I did know a bit: do not get me wrong. Also, the details that really got into horror I just thought they used any normal shots to create suspense . It's really a wild experience knowing that many shots and types of angles are the reasons audiences feel some sort of way. I did the convention to the best of my ability . I guess you will hear more about my in-depth thoughts about the project when I my CCR . For now, I

Asking for feedback

  My Almost Final Blog. How time has passed. The work has been completed and now it is time to see the results. I’ll be honest with you listeners this was not the main idea heading into postproduction . If you told me that I would have ended up filming a horror filming piece. Before you lovely listeners get to look at it, I am going to ask my fellow friends to peer review. I know what you are thinking. What do yo u mean?! You already got feedback from your parents who helped you fix the mistake from earlier. Well , that was during production my friends. I need help from peers during post - production too you know . Overall, the feedback is good. But one major thing is happening I am being told the editing is poor. I need to make it faster jump cuts is what I am being told. Also, the title placement was poor and was another piece of feedback that was constant from peers. So, now I must fix these things pronto ! It will not take long, and I might look up some tutorials. I know

Diving deep into editing

  Guess who's back. Back again. That's right, it's me. And I am back with some stories to tell. I mean when do I not have stories to tell? So, I am in the thick of the editing process and I realized I have not had a blog highlighting exactly what I am doing. I have said before I am trying to give the conventions of horror to life. To be frank with you all it i s harder than it looks . I was originally going to use very little music, but I have now found that I am going to cut in and out. I wanted to use the forest's sound. Even walking myself when filming I was freaked out by the sounds I was hearing. What I am planning on doing is to have the music and then cut it when the sound of silence a nd bush give the fear factor I need. Sometimes less is more. I also purpo sely record ed just sounds of my location in order to give off these feelings. I had seen in other horror films that they used the power of sil ence to creep the audience out. Besides the sound,

The Music Delima

  Hello my loyal listeners. I am back at it to let you know the whole dilemma with the music. I'll be honest with you all, at first, I was thinking music really. I did not take a lot of thought to it. I know, I know don’t critique me anymore than I have myself. As you all know throughout my blogs, I have been talking about my music journey. Not my music journey my decision to make. At first, I had no idea. I was stuck and I can’t even lie. Then I started to research I cannot have any copy written pieces. That narrowed the search down thank goodness. Then I was left with the finalists. Song X made me feel uneasy immediately. I struggled to find something that could compete with it. I think I might ask for some input from friends or family members. I did not want my audience to be constantly nervous. I wanted something that could be both very unsettling but in a subtle way. Song Y does this very well, it is just stuck between Song Z. I feel like they both have remarkably similar effe
