                                                    Group Meetings      In class we had a group meeting. I found this meeting to be highly informative. It brought a social aspect to the project that we haven't really had so far. It was nice to be able to express my ideas and planning going behind the short film opening to others. The development of the film has been coming a long way and it's getting to a place where a truly good piece can be produced from it. I found it really fun to hear the ideas of others as well as their opinions towards my planning. Everyone gave their honest feedback respectfully and allowed for me to ask questions. I took this as an opportunity to verbally illustrate and then see how others reacted and viewed my script/film plans.  ...

                Horror Film Opening Research     Before Analyzation and Research      Understanding and researching other film openings is highly important for this project. In order for me to build and improve I need to source to examples of what I am setting out to produce. By looking and analyzing film openings, horror in specific, I can take key points from what I see and visualize them in my project. I have a lot of excitement towards this and look forward to watching a few scary film openings to learn more! Taking the time to do this and them break down what majority of all of them include is highly helpful to production and comprehension.     After Horror Opening Research       Horror film openings  include many techniques to give a sense of fear, suspense, and I would even say an odd feeling of uneasiness. These feelings are given to the audience through many w...

                                                                                   Reeves Yager Research Blog When it came to my partner and I deciding the proper genre for our two-minute film opening, we wanted to make sure we had a reliable and solid subject. We researched both sci-fi as well as horror. Both genres brought many options to the table. We felt sci-fi brought creativeness and was intriguing. However, it also gave struggles like how hard it would be to create something supernatural and the difficulty of bringing it to screen. As for horror, it is a genre both Sebastian and I felt could bring quality entertainment and grab the audience in an opener. Horror would bring suspense and fear to the short...
