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.

Editing "you belong with me"

Hello there, I'm back yet again. Ok so, since my group finished filming, my group mates and I were able to start editing. Now, the filming process was a quite a doozy and took the whole day. The editing on the other hand wasn't that tricky, but still a little time consuming. To begin, Sofias computer was used because mine is not working at the moment. The sound is broken and I am not able to download iMovie. Since Sofia's computer was used, she had to download iMovie to edit. IMovie is the easiest application to use for video editing since it is user friendly and an Apple app. First, I uploaded the clips and didn't add any transitions. I then had to embed the song to match the clips. I searched for the "you belong with me" by Taylor Swift audio that would match the video. I embedded it into the application of iMovie and matched it up with the exact words in the video when any were said. It was tricky because the time when Jenna said, "find out what you...
