      Hello Cambridge people! For my music video, I will be working with Samantha Burton, Lilly Gonzalez, and Amelie De Kegel. I chose this group because we already sit together in class, so I know we won't have any issues of infighting. Samantha and Lilly were also both in my group for Component 3 of Global Perspectives, so I know that we can work well together to make a good final product. Additionally, I know that all of them are smart and will not procrastinate or throw all of the work on me. Also, Samantha showed me her commercial, so I know that she is good at editing, which is something that I struggle with. In fact, all of them are much better at editing than me, so I know that the final project will look good. A problem that may arise here is me not getting to do any of the editing and therefore not improving at editing. This possibility could also lead to problems within the group, with my groupmates getting mad at me for not contributing enough. So, in order to...

Movie Conventions Research: In the Tall Grass

  What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? In the Tall Grass has many conventions found in classic psychological thriller movies.

Many cutaways are used for when there is a jump scare and a significant amount of cross cutting when the characters are all running in different locations to give the impression that their actions are all unfolding at the same time, just in different locations. Not many props are used in this movie and there is only two settings: the field and a church. All of the characters are covered in dirt and remain in the same clothes the entire time. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you liked? Some conventions from In the Tall Grass that I enjoyed was the many tracking ...

Production Blog: The calm before the storm

      Welcome back Cambridge people! We will be recording tomorrow, and I am very nervous for it. I have a bit of a starring role, which I did not particularly want, and I probably will be on screen more then I am really comfortable. While I am fine with public speaking, my stage fright comes in with people seeing me while I talk. I won't even be speaking in the video, so it is going to be all of the parts of acting that I hate with none of the stuff I like. Still, at least I'm not the main character in it, so it's not quite as stressful. I'm also scared that I will have to direct some of the scenes because they were my idea. The group seems a bit confused about some of the scenes I've suggested, particularly the scene where the main character is depressed a puts their head down while eating cereal. So, if I want it like I imagined it, I'll have to direct them through it, which could hold up the production. I also don't know how the house looks like, so I d...
