Movie convention research: Smile

Image
Hey there blogger! I am so excited to be back and researching for this movie genre. My group chose horror which i would say is my favorite genre of movies. I feel like i like to scare myself and then complain about how scared i was in the end. I recently watched the movie Smile, twice actually. I absolutely freaked out when i watched it but at the same time it was super cool and extremely well made. They definitely accomplish the horror aspect and unsettling part of the genre. This movie specifically has many conventions that create a shock to the audience. The sounds and props i feel like are huge part of what makes Smile, Smile.

The costumes and makeup in the end really depict the horror in the movie. There are also closeups, reserve shots, aerial shots which built up the scene and many camera angles and jumpscares which really build up the mov...

Props

Hey, long time no see. As it is getting closer to filming day, we needed to buy props. We didn't need that many props so it wasn't any issue. I went on Amazon to start the search.

In our storyboard, the guy does have a gun. We decided we are going to change that for the actual film. I ended up finding the props i wanted to buy. I bought these fake knives and they came in a pack of four. They arrived yesterday and they are actually so cool. I didn't know this when i purchased them but they are retractable.

Planning blog

Hey blogger, welcome back! As it is getting closer to the filming period, we need to start planning.  • Schedule We will meet in person every 2 weeks to film. As we are in class we will see each every other day to discuss our plans. • Location We all live in different areas so we chose somewhere we all know we can go to. We will film in Sawgrass Mills Mall. We will find a designated drop-off area for all of us to go to. For the alleyway scenes, we will go to one of our houses and use the back alleyway to record.  • Participants As for participants, it will just be our group and 1 other guy who plays the lead role in the film. That guy will be a friend of Isa's who agreed to be a part of our production.  • Health and Safety The mall is a pretty public place and we all know to stick together when working so no one gets lost. we are all going to be dropped off by our parents at the location of the recording which will be discussed soon. Once we are all together, we w...
