Fatal Attraction
Helloooooo!
I had trouble finding the film online so I decided to look up analysis on it and tricks the producer used for certain scenes since I figured it was the only way around. I ran into this blogspot that gave details on how the characters were developed & made to seem as thrilling & creepy as possible; I found this extremely helpful since i really haven't done much research on the developing of my characters. Therefore, I decided to go ahead and do some research since I cant begin filming just yet.
I found this interesting website that gives some tips on how to form & create creepy characters followed by creepy situations. They give the situation & follow it by "what [it] would look like" which makes it much easier & clear to visualize. Check it out!
I continued researching and found out that the speech of the character plays a major role in really emphasizng the creepiness of the character."Unsettling speech is one of the simplest ways to throw people off. Vary the style of pausing, word phrasing and similar. Half-life 2's intro sequence is a wonderful look at how that can be used." Ill continue researching as the week continues since its all i can really be doing, so ill keep you all posted.

Movie time!
Happy Spring!
I am currently sitting on the beach relaxing meanwhile strolling through old students portfolio projects and CCR's to start getting an idea since me and my partner cant film until I am home. Im not gonna lie i am a little stressed but im hoping everything is going to turn out alright. I have also decided to watch the actual film Fatal Attraction filmed in 1987 to get some definite plot ideas and see how their film opening is shaped along with their color scheme and shots. Keep you guys updated!!

production prep~
Hi Media Buddies!
Its finally spring break!!!
So me and my partner have decided to start shooting during this break & we are using our iphones for it. I wanted to begin some research on some editing tips because im honestly not the best. Our iphone camera should work just fine for the quality, but for right now, im just worried about the editing portion. I browsed around YouTube and found this really interesting video, link is here! It gives us some really interesting tools and how to properly use them. I really found it helpful.
I continued browsing after this video and clicked a couple websites that I read on tricks that'll make editing a breeze. Check it out!
Me and my partner should be meeting up some time this week so ill keep you guys posted!
Adios!

Sting!
Welcome back!
Sooo, this week is kind of off because spring break is coming up & me and my partner know we have to be ontop of our game & make sure we use this free time wisely. Following up with my last blog post, me and my partner are stoked to combine our ideas we gathered from our group meetings & begin incorporating them into our film opening. Right now I am researching some good horror movie stings and sound effects we could use during our scenes to create suspense & tension. So, as I was researching I ran into this super cool website that had a video from YouTube linked to it. It showed an instrument that was capable of creating horror sounds that could be used in a film, like mine :-). Here's the link if any of you guys want to check it out! The rest of the website is called Nerdist and it gives several movie examples that did a good job with the horror stings they used. A clip from the movie Halloween is shown that demonstrates scenes that incorporated a well-done horror sting. I didn't know how many different types of horror background music there was! And how differently each one works. This really gave me some good ideas on what type of background music I wanted and exactly which would work best with the types of scenes im doing, I cant wait to show my partner. Stay tuned media friends :)

Group Meets!
Happy Friday media friends!
So this week ended off on a really good note & im super happy about that. Today in class, we met with randomly assigned groups of people and the sole purpose of it was to give and receive advice on how to better the final project. Honestly, I was not excited for this at all; I was being kind of stubborn and kept thinking that I had my plans and ideas set & I didnt want anyone else's advice because i was not going to change it. I really wanted to keep my project within my partner & I buuuuut im really really glad i didnt. I shared my ideas with my group members and they totally switched up my plan & gave me some really interesting ways to adjust my theme & overall plot. I am now extra confident on what im planning on creating and most defnitely have a better mindset going into the shooting process. They gave me ideas on editing techniques and sound motifs i could include; overall just some really cool ideas and im very appreciative of them. Im glad I was forced into this group meet! Im also really exctied to hear what my partners group has to say & what cool tips they gave her. Hopefully when we combine all our new ideas we come up with something really good. Im really excited to meet with my partner this weekend and begin filming for the second time. Our first time around didnt go so well-it started raining and we had to stop and legit "raincheck" it lol. Second time's the charm! See you guys neext weeekkk.
