Digital technology:
iMovie - Using imovie allowed us to upload our film onto a software were we could edit our movie and upload images and soundtracks.
Garage band - We created the soundtrack to our film using garage band as it had a range of different sounds which allowed us to create a horror soundtrack related to our movie.
Photoshop - In photoshop we created titles which we could add to our movie which we could then edit and add effects to using imovie.
I plan on developing these skills by using final cut and trying out its different effects apposed to iMovie.
Research and planning:
Analysis of opening sequence
Titles time line
Storyboard
Nine screen analysis
Audience research mind map
The planning and research helped to give us an understanding of what is included in an opening sequence but I think that I would look at wider variety of opening sequences next time to give me a better idea of what other techniques and ideas could be included.
Using conventions of real media text:
The two films we looked at were Se7en and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre which gave us ideas for conventions such as the surroundings and settings used in horror. From watching these we got some ideas for characters which ours were similar in ways. I would think that watching more films would help out and give out a wider range of conventions we could have used for our movie.
Creativity:
Our movie was quite unique compared to most horrors as although it used the typical horror conventions and had the typical types of characters you didn't see any violence or see anything happen relating to weapons which is usually a main story in a horror. Although this worked out quite well I think using more conventions such as showing weapons getting used and such could of worked well also.
