Back to CapCut!

With my last few blogs, I had the task of reshooting all my unusable footage. This proved frustrating as I had already fully edited my short sequence. So, having to go back and reshoot, then take apart my project, THEN insert those clips back in, was difficult.  As I watched the horror short sequence that I had made for my class project, I realized that it needed a lot of work. The pacing was off, and the scares weren't as effective as I had hoped. I knew that I would have to re-edit the entire sequence if I wanted to improve it. It was frustrating to have to start over, but I was determined to make it better.  I began by rearranging the order of the shots to create a more cohesive story. Next, I focused on the sound design, adding in more atmospheric sound effects to heighten the tension. I also experimented with different music tracks to find the perfect score for the sequence. The music I used in the first half of the sequence sounded slightly corny. So I did more research ...

Title Research: Nanny

Movie Conventions Research: A Quiet Place II

Image
 A Quiet Place Part II, 2020, directed by John Krasinki My last movie pick to look into is the 2020 film, A Quiet Place Part II. This film was a huge commercial success and the sequel to one of my all time favorite horror films. It differs from the previous two films because the film features a fantastical creature. Not all horror films are simply about slashers and murderers, but non-human species also make their way into the genre. Researching this movie will help in my creation process because my chosen pitch will include a non-human “monster” so to say. Now, let us look into the opening sequence of the film. •  What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? One element of the horror-thriller genre that is present here is the use of tracking shots. Characters are followed by the camera as they complete actions. This following not only creates a sense of being followed for the characters, but at the same time puts us ...
