Genre Decision Blog

At last, I finally decided on my genre for my opening sequence. Out of the many options of genres to pick from; my research helped me narrow it down to 3 genres. Those 3 genres are drama, comedy, and thriller. After engaging in this research I concluded that I did not want to do comedy. I was so fixated on thinking I wouldn't make a good comedy film. I enjoy a challenge but in doing so I want to have fun with it. I would much rather lean into a dignified opening sequence. I want to take this project seriously and use my creative freedom to my advantage. 

 So that left me with drama and thriller. I love films that fall underneath these two genres; this was a hard choice. I had to put personal preferences aside and pick what was best for the film. Based on the film's pitch, the thriller genre out beat drama by a longshot. So it's best to say, I decided to choose this genre solely based on my pitch.

Additionally, I debated on whether or not,  my film might fall underneath the horror genre. Although, I feel like my film won't be scary enough to be considered a horror film. For instance, it won't feature those classic chases in the woods, no blood, no screaming. My film will be more relatable and realistic. Especially, since it's coming from the point of view of a person who has imperfections as we all do. To follow her life throughout the movie, we could watch every little mistake she makes. This was ultimately the best decision because the thriller genre fits my pitch excellently.

Production Blog: Back to Filiming

 Over the 3 day weekend, I used all the time I had to my advantage. I'm really proud of myself and what I got accomplished. Filiming was surprisingly easier than anticipated. Although it took longer than I expected; everything was organized and planned to perfection. I had the best lighting, no interruptions, and my cousin seemed to know what she was doing. So we also had an amazing time together filming. I honestly believe it made us closer, which is a plus. Watching the scenes we recorded together gave us the opportunity to reshoot and modify things that needed to be changed. For example, how the pillow was positioned or my facial expression. She contributed to a lot and I really think without her help this wouldn't be possible.  Moreover, like mentioned beforehand, the scene that we recorded took a long time to shoot. We spent 2 whole days on it and lucky for me she decided to spend the night. So time was not a factor while we were filming because we had all the time in the

CeraVe Commercial

(I've uploaded the video using two different methods just in case one method doesn't work.) My journey of making my first official AICE Media project has finally come to a close. From here on, I know what to expect; and this is definitely a class I have to work my hardest on. Doing this project was just a taste of what I have to do next and I'm prepared for it. With this project, I guarantee I tried my absolute best. Additionally, I want to acknowledge that I will improve my skills as well. I understand I could have made the commercial have a cooler storyline or made it slightly more entertaining. However, I wanted to follow the conventions of a skincare ad and usually, those types of things don't happen. I know for next time I should do my project however I want, creativity is key. I want to entertain my audience so they enjoy watching. I'll continue to improve by finding new techniques on how to accomplish this. (Perhaps more research could help). Also, I did a de
