Film Opening

 And here she is, "OVER- SHOOT!"

As complicated and at some points frustrating, as this project was, Judy and I are pleased to finally be able to show you the final product. Looking back, there's a lot I felt could've been changed but all in all, it was a good experience and allowed me to appreciate filming even more than before.

Group Meetings #2

 Within the group meeting, we discussed common struggles we've faced, one especially being the due date coming in quickly. The common trend seemed to be not knowing what to do for our CCRs. We discussed our plans for the week, mine including the final film scenes being shot and starting up the CCR script along with the filming. We all agreed that most of our struggles throughout our project were simply sitting down and just getting our ideas down on some sort of recording or paper. Many of us are excited about critiques soon and looking forward to our end products as well. 

The last week of this project is definetly going to be the most heavy work wise but Im excited to finally see how the final end product will look like. Judy and I also discussed how to format our CCR's and we are excited to begin working on those as well.

Music choice struggle

 About a week ago, Judy and I reached out to two different artists (Ava by Famy and Ceilings by Lizzy Alpine) in hopes to be able to use their music in out project. They have yet to reach out back to us so while we wait here are some songs that I found to use as our "Plan B" just in case.

We made a playlist inspired by our film opening as well that we often listen to for inspiration while brainstorming, heres it linked in case you want to have a listen!

Elle - Main Character : Mood Board

Our character, Elle goes through certain hardships while in her weightlifting class. Her overall exterior isn't one where people are quick to assume she is a common gym goer. Even though the color pink isn't necessarily now only viewed as a "girl" color in the outside world, in the gym she seems to stick out as a sore thumb. Comparable to Elle Woods walking past a group of men in suits, our Elle seems to be the only person at her gym that sports a colorful pink jumpsuit whilst everyone around her is in neutrals. When it comes to her attitude, she is someone very determined but will often downplay herself in private. Her bubbly personality is often front she showcases as she assumes that's how most will want her to act. She is someone who doesn't like to let people see her at her worst, especially with the environment she's in but as the story goes on she learns to let that side show and becomes an influence to those around her as well. 

genre - horror

The concept of genre has also been extended beyond language-based texts, so that we customarily speak of genres in relation to art, music, dance, and other non-verbal methods of human communication. 

For example, in art we are familiar with the genres of painting, drawing, sculpture and engraving. In addition, within each genre, sub-genres have developed. For painting, sub-genres might include landscape, portraiture, still life and non-representational works. Some of the recognized sub-genres of fiction include novels, short stories and novellas. Presumably, any number of sub-levels can exist for any one genre, and new sub-genres may be invented at any time. Recently, genre theories have been promulgated for texts about every kind of human activity. In each, genres and sub-genres can be identified. 

This proliferation of genre analysis for various purposes means that we must include all kind of text in an investigation of the usefulness of genre.

The old "fight or flight" reaction of our evolutionary heritage once played a major role in the life of every human. Our ancestors lived and died by it. Then someone invented the fascinating game of civilization, and things began to calm down. Development pushed wilderness back from settled lands. War, crime, and other forms of social violence came with civilization and humans started preying on each other, but by and large daily life calmed down. 

We began to feel restless, to feel something missing: the excitement of living on the edge, the tension between hunter and hunted. So we told each other stories through the long, dark nights. when the fires burned low, we did our best to scare the daylights out of each other. The rush of adrenaline feels good. Our hearts pound, our breath quickens, and we can imagine ourselves on the edge. Yet we also appreciate the insightful aspects of horror. 

Sometimes a story intends to shock and disgust, but the best horror intends to rattle our cages and shake us out of our complacency. It makes us think, forces us to confront ideas we might rather ignore, and challenges preconceptions of all kinds. Horror reminds us that the world is not always as safe as it seems, which exercises our mental muscles and reminds us to keep a little healthy caution close at hand.
