Movie Research: The Craft: Legacy

What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you choose to base your final task on does this? 

 

When watching this film something that I realized was common in thrillers is when the bad guy turns good. For example, when Timmy was originally a bully but as the movie progressed you were able to see the reason for why he acted that way. I also like the paranoia build-up, normally when watching a thriller there is always someone you suspect or something you feel is wrong that the main character tends to be right about. 

 

 

What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like? 

 

 

During this movie, I realized that while there is some paranoia built up the main characters often find themselves focused on something else rather than the plot. As for the effects found in the movie, I like it and I feel like it showed more realism than the first Craft movie. The costume change I also liked. When watching this movie from start to finish you could see the slow transition from beginning to end and how the costume changes also showed some character development. 

 

What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you? 

 

For the main part of this movie, I liked the fact that the main villain was hiding in plain sight but for the scene that we would be doing I would want the main bad guy to be someone a bit more obvious to the viewer's perspective. Even though I did like some of the effects used in this movie I don't think there would be room to fit it in the plot of our scene. During this film when something bad or good was about to happen to the main group the sound used helps to alert the viewer of a possible action or reaction that was about to happen.

 Madelyn Argueta  AICE Media Studies Period 6  Hello everyone,   Today I started wrapping up the editing for my music video . The first thing I did today was crop some of my scenes because my music video was too long . Due to timing problems, I had to cut out a few parts of the Justin Bieber dancing scenes . The next scene s I had to crop were the escalator scene, the running scene, and some of the other outside scenes . By cropping, adjusting, and cutting these scenes it helped me decrease the length of my music video . Then I ended up having to download an app to download my music . After downloading the app to download my music, I proce eded to have issues with the audio . The first time downloading the song, the audio was inaudible . The second time the audio was barely audible . Then finally on my third try I got the music to be at a good volume . After I fixed everything with the audibility of the song, I had to adjust the song to my cli...

Madelyn Argueta AICE Media Studies Period 6 Hello everyone,   Although I have not begun filming, I have everything ready to begin the process of filming. I will begin filming  on Saturday October 21. I have decided to film on Saturday because the weather conditions are in my favor. Also, all the actors in the music video c an all come on Saturday. Additionally, if filming is not finished on Saturday, I will wrap up the last bits of filming on Monday October 23. On Saturday I plan on having the actors rehearse the scenes for about an hour before shooting. This will help the scenes go smoother and seem more natural. Then I will begin filming and film as much as I can before any issues arise such as weather conditions and timing issues. Prior to filming I have completed my storyboards for my music video. My storyboards were developed from the mood of the song’s lyrics and from my research of other similar songs from the same genre. By looking at the song's ly...
