Prop creation

-

 The prop that we had to create and put the most time into was our killer's mask. We went to Party City, bought a clear mask, and decided to paint it. We wanted our mask to have something to do with her motive, so we painted it with mascara running down to represent someone with a broken heart crying. We felt this was perfect and represented her perfectly.



We took inspiration from the movie The Strangers, and we felt that these masks were perfect for a horror slasher.

We wanted to make it our own, though that's why we added that little touch of the running mascara that I think we are very proud of.

Today we are still working on editing. We are more focused on touching up our project and making sure everything looks smooth and put together. Yesterday I got almost all the clips together. Now I want to work with some FX. Since we are making a slasher movie, I want it to be dark and eerie. Right now I am learning how to add a color filter over the intro to make it dark and learning how to add a vignette. I think this makes the movie create the desired tone and feel of a horror movie, which plays perfectly. My partner, on the other hand, wants to make everything vibrant to make everything look like a fever dream and create a sense of anxiety within the viewer. She got this idea from the movie Suspiria. This allows both of us to take completely opposite approaches and see which one we like more to create the best possible project.

Media theory

In our movie intro, we would like to integrate the genre theory. This theory basically is a way of categorizing things into groups based on shared characteristics. It can be used to analyze a variety of media, including literature, film, and writing. The main genre characteristics we want to use are from slasher horror movies. So things like jump scares, stings, and a lot of moments that leave the audience tense and on the edge of their seats to have that slasher feeling. We want to create these similarities to tend to our main audience. This audience and demographic are going to be people who tend to enjoy slasher films and those adrenaline-pumping scenes. Therefore, we are going to integrate this aspect to keep a familiar look to the opening and create something that horror fans alike can enjoy.

Today we are starting our editing, so we created a Google Drive folder where we are collecting all the clips and pictures together so each director can pick and choose the desired clips. we are going to each make our own edit and decide which is the preferred edit. Right now we are just choosing clips and putting everything together to create our base story. This takes a while because I like to analyze every clip clip to determine which one I like the best to make the best product possible. We also have a lot more stuff to do with editing, such as FX and sound, to make everything come together and fit nicely as a completed project.
