CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION

How does your product use or challenge the conventions?Camera Angles: -I have used the convention while making my movie.-Many of the shots taken are similar to those mostly found in horror movies.-The picture on the right shows how I’ve tried to make my shots similar using the same camera angles along with the costume and location.-Camera angles in both the pictures are wide shots.

Paranormal Activity

My movie

My Movie: -The name of my movie is “Black Bride” -I’ve chosen this name because there’s a ghost who’s always wearing black bridal dress.-The Black Bride was a ghost in the movie “Insidious” and I’ve taken the idea from the movie to create the horror effect.

Black Bride (Insidious)

These are my inspirational movies and I’ve tried keeping some parts of my movie similar to these.

-The makeup and hair are the same in both the pictures as you can see to give the ghost effect.-The expressions were serious to haunt the audience.

How does your product engage the audiences and would it be distributed as a real media text?

The distribution of my movie would be done by the “Focus Features” eThe Focus Features is the art house film division of NBC Universal and acts as both producer and distributor for it’s own films and a distributor for foreign films.

It’s a high budget distribution company, I would like FOCUS FEATURES to distribute my movie as I’ve invested a lot in the movie, also, because I want the audience to see it because it’s different horror movie while comparing to the others and would attract larger audience.

The distribution of my movie would be done by the distribution company as well as on social media sites so that the movie already goes viral before it’s release and people know more about it.The audience targeted would be the Mass Market as it’s a different horror movie so more people would want to watch it.The teasers along with the trailers would be released on the social sites before they’re shown in cinemas.

How did your production skills developed throughout this project? Throughout the year I’ve gained a lot. I’ve learnt new terms which I’d never even heard of.How to edit videos on movie maker and shoot the video in different angles were the majors.

Our sir told us about different camera angles we never knew about like wide shot, point of view shot, dolly shot and more.

I’m using Tumblr since two years but this year there was a new meaning behind using it. I never thought of using it by creating and uploading my own videos but always reposting other’s videos and pictures. We upload our videos here as it’s easy and fast. We can submit our presentations here rather than creating them in hand written folders and submitting with the fear of them being misplaced or any other sort of damaged caused.Our Sir gave us enough confidence that I started making short vines and upload them.

Lightning:There are two types of lightning, High-key lightning and low key lightning. I now know which lightning is suppose to be used under which video according to the scene.

Sound

Sound:There are two types of sounds used in the movies. Digetic sounds which are the natural sounds heard by the audience and characters both and Non-Digetic sounds which are the sounds added to create special affects and are heard by the audience only.

How did you integrate technologies (software, hardware and online) in this project?

I wasn’t familiar with many of these but with time and help of my Sir I learnt how to use them. So, now for my every project I’ve used either of the technologies for research and movie making.
