Post-Production: Peer Feedback

Welcome everyone,

During media studies class we had to peer review. We showed our first draft of our movie to another group. We also had to peer review their movie too. I was really glad we got to do this as we received good criticism. We were told that we needed to add more context into our movie and to have a better hook. They told us when adding context to the story, we should add more insight to our main character. So here are the things we are going to change:

When showing the production company logo and title we will add music in the background.
In the beginning of the movie instead of jumping straight to the park scene, we will show Jessica (the main character) and her mom having a conversation. The conversation will consist of a stereotypical teenage conversation by showing her mom being worried about Jessica going out late. Jessica acts like a bratty teenager and will slam the door when she leaves.
In the end instead of having the news report scene we will show Jessica running back to her house. When she gets inside, she will in a panic way explain what happened to her mom.
For our hook we will show the killer slam open the door and show him walking in.

Welcome Everyone, Today I will be talking about Media Studies. Media studies is important to study because it helps us understand the motives or intentions behind a media product. What I mean by this is that it is easier to find out the meaning of a media text or a post. For example, when I watch a movie just by the first two minutes, I already know who it was intended for and what direction the plot is going at. It also helps me to choose what media platform I use more wisely. Studying media studies taught me what someone's intended effect is for their media product. For example, when scrolling through TikTok or Instagram, you will see a variety of different users. Some just do it for the likes and others do it fun, while some want to spread awareness of a certain topic. My favorite media product are movies. Watching movies keeps me entertained and at the same time helps me to relax. I feel like most teenagers would like to watch movies because it's a way for...

Final Film

Hello everyone, Here is the final version of my opening film. Creating this movie has been a lot of fun and educational at the same time. I am so grateful I got the chance to learn many things about the filmmaking process that I can even use in my daily life. Me and my partner worked really hard to make this film, so I hope you enjoy it.

Pre-Production: Planning Document

Welcome everyone, Every movie must have a production company logo design, so we created our own too. We chose to call our production company Cherry Blossom Production. We came up with this design because we wanted to show our creative side by having a contrast. We wanted to see how we would be able to turn a somewhat childish name into a horror/thriller movie. Which I believe we succeeded in. We added the text in red with a creepy front. We included a cherry blossom tree as a logo but changed it so it can have a mysterious tone to it. We wanted to convey the message that not everything is what it seems, to create suspense and mystery.
