Production Blog: 3rd Times A Charm

 Hey Cambridge, Im back. When I met up with my partner today, I could already feel the tension. After missing another filming day because of a rescheduled baseball game, I knew I had to prove I was fully committed to this project. She joked as soon as I arrived. Where she said " look who decided to come". I couldn’t even be mad, it was fair considering I've already missed 2 filming times. Before we started, I made sure to apologize again. I knew she was stressed about staying on schedule, and I didn’t want them thinking I didn’t care. She had to make sure that we were on time because she has her tech week coming up with her play. As soon as we started filming, I pushed everything else out of my head. No distractions. No outside commitments. Just the short film. We were moving fast, and I made sure to nail all of my lines so we didn’t waste any time. We were clearly working with a little more urgency than usual. I kept a close eye on the schedule, calling out scene changes quickly. At one point, we even decided to skip lunch to squeeze in one more take. No one complained, since we just wanted to get this done. By the end of the day, we had filmed everything we were supposed to have done last time and even started the next scene early. It felt like a well deserved win. The best part was that she actually seemed to let go of their frustration.n I’m done being the reason we fall behind. No more scheduling conflicts. No more baseball surprises. From now on, I’m showing up—rain or shine. That's it for today Cambridge. Peace Out!!

   1. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?    M3GAN incorporates many elements that our group has chose to base our final task on. For one, it stars a lonely young girl, who seems to have lost everything. The movie seems to have the perfect amount of suspense, which will 100 percent be used in our project. Darker lighting was another thing that stood out during this movie, adding to the skeptical feeling of the audience. Our final task will be heavily based on all of these conventions, which M3GAN seems to incorporate well.    2. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like?    Although M3GAN is a horror movie, it still uses comedy. Sometimes rather dark, but appealing to the audience as it reassures them that it is still something that they should enjoy. We are also a fan on how it has a deeper meaning than the one presented, which is how to deal with...

Movie Research: Totally Killer

1. What elements (Conventions) of the genre you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? The movie "Totally Killer" has many conventions that relate to what our final task is. It is trying to solve a murder mystery surrounded by the death of her mom by going back in time to find the killer before her mom gets killed. This theme is mostly revolved around what we are doing.  The movie has a lot of abandoned sets, dark lighting, gore, weapon props, etc, which similarly explains the idea for our final task.  2. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like? I loved how it was comparing the new age to the old age. The time travel plot really adds to the thrill of the horror aspect. I also love watching horror movies with jump scares because they engage the audience, which this movie definitely has. The costumes of the main characters were amazing as well as the makeup to represent the 80's and the 21st century. I also loved the comedy ...
