Genre Decision Blog

 We decided to go with thriller. We choose this specific genre instead of mystery and horror because even though they are different, they are also very similar. Thriller is more related to our pitch than the other two genres. During the decision-making process, we realized that thrillers are one genre made up of multiple genres together. It has the mystery, horror, and crime aspects that we want. If we were to do mystery or horror, it would just be one genre. Also, mystery doesn’t have a lot of films to go from. It was hard to get some idea of what a true movie with a ‘mystery genre’ is. We want to leave whoever is watching, on the tip of their toes. We want them to have that moment where if they don’t see the rest, they feel in a sense, ‘incomplete’. Horror is suspenseful, but not as suspenseful as thriller. Also, it is mainly just scary, and we don’t want our film to be all scares. We want to create that tension and release it all at the very end. Horror will create suspense then break it multiple times throughout the film. As a group, we realized that is not something we wanted to do. Thriller is also a very popular genre in films. This gives us lots of options to get some inspiration. We have multiple options to choose what kind of thriller we want to convey in our film. We all agreed and didn’t have to have any sort of debate. We feel it is the best choice for our film.

  Storyboard for my Music Video First Shot: The main character is seen laying in bed and wakes up. The shot will be a wide shot to show not only the main character but their room as well. The main character will be in their pajamas in their bedroom. Second Shot: This shot will show the alarm clock with the time slightly after 12 to match the lyrics. The shot will be a close up. Ideally, the alarm clock will be pink and sparkly to match the main character’s personality. Third Shot: This shot will be an extreme close up of the alarm clock, zooming in from the previous shot. Fourth Shot: This shot will be an aerial shot of a breakfast meal. This shot will be in the kitchen, but it will not be clear in this shot. Fifth Shot: The next shot will be another aerial shot but will show more. The main character will push the plate away. The main character will still be in pajamas. The kitchen will be more shown in this shot. Sixth Shot: This next shot will be a medium long shot of the main ch...

We're Getting Somewhere

     We were finally able to film! That thursday, I went to school and took the test I needed to take then I got on the bus. As soon as the bell rang, Kaitlyn texted me to remind me to rehearse and go over my lines, which I did. Then, after that I got off at my bus stop. My mom picked me up from there and took me home. When I got home, I quickly got changed and went to get something to eat before I left for Lauren's house. After I finished, I went back to making sure I had all my stuff together. I realized I also had to get all my stuff together for my water polo game. So since I was going to go there straight after my mom picked me up from Lauren's house, I made sure to get that stuff ready too. Once I was finished, I told my mom I was ready and she took me to Lauren's. When I got there, Kaitlyn and Lauren were both outside the house. They were finishing up filming the last parts of Lauren's scenes. While they did that, I went inside the house and put my stuff down. I ...
