AICE Media Studies

  I had to work my schedule out according to my mom's work. On March 10th, I will be traveling to a different state for my mom's work. We will be in upstate New York, and there are a lot of woods out there. So I figured that up North would be a good place to shoot the scenes with the killer. And I could film the scenes of my mom and I at our apartment in Florida. My mom, sister, and I will take turns filming, depending on who is not in the scene at that time. For example, my sister would film the first few scenes with the mom and Allison (the victim). I would shoot the scenes that star just the killer. My mom would shoot the scenes with the killer and Allison. The schedule may change, as well as locations, if something changes. If it does, I will shoot the killer scenes in the park across the street from my apartment. I only have 3 actors, which should be enough, but I might add extras if I find someone else. My mom will be present throughout the filming to make sure we are bei...

  I worked on the titles for about a day. It took me some time to figure out the names of the studio and production company. I was worried that there was already a studio or company with the same name. While I was thinking of my Studio name, I was eating sushi for lunch. I couldn't really think of anything else so I decided on Sushi Studios. It is also my friends' fun nickname for me. After some research, I found that there wasn't a studio with the same name. For my production company, I was also a little stumped. I searched up some common production companies to get an idea for mine. Some had strange names like, Rooster Teeth, and I realized it doesn't have to mean anything. So I decided to go on my Spotify and shuffle all my songs. The first song that came on was 505 by Arctic monkeys and I decided that could work. For the title of my movie, I wanted something ironic. A nice and fun clown name, when it really is for a horror movie. I got the inspiration from other hor...

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? In this movie, there is a little bit of mystery to it. There is a nanny who babysits a "boy," when it's really just a doll. But the doll eventually starts terrorizing the nanny. She has to figure out how to escape and find clues on how to make it out of the house alive. For my final task, I would have the killer trap the victims or victim in a house. They would have to try to find a way to escape the house. The killer in my movie would haunt the house and attempt to kill everyone in the house. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? I liked how unexpected everything was. The doll would trap the nanny in the attic or mess up her room. She would be very wary of the doll and scared that the doll would kill her. Throughout the whole movie, the audience would be on edge. The character nor the audience would know what the doll would do next. It added to the suspense...

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? In this movie, the serial killer, Michael Myers, stalk his victims. His victims are a group of high school friends. Every time he appears, the friends slowly start getting suspicious, especially since he always has a creepy mask on. In my final task, I plan to have the killer stalk the victims. I still haven't decided whether it will be one person or more that are targeted. In this movie, Michael Myers hunts the girls down and only one of the friends survive. In my final task, if I cast a group of friends, I will also have only one person left alive.  What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? An element that I like in this movie is the theme song. It plays in the opening sequence of the movie. During the movie the theme song slowly builds up whenever Michael Myers appears. Sometimes, he is in the shot when it plays, but sometimes he's not. It lets the audience know w...

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? The movie is mostly genre, but there are a lot of other subgenres to it. For example, there it could also be mystery. In this movie, the kids are trying to figure out a way to survive the clown and try to find a way to get rid of him. In my final task, I plan to have the main characters try to find out who is the person stalking them and how to trick the killer. It would ort of be mystery, because they try to look for clues on who the killer is. The antagonist in IT is a supernatural clown, because he can make his victims see things that aren't really there. I will base my killer off of IT, because I believe that most people are scared of killer clowns than actual serial killers. However, my killer will not be supernatural. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?   In this movie, I liked how there was something that let the kids know that Pennywise was near. W...

  What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?                                                                            First, the opening sequence showed two pictures of families.
