For quality, we must make sacrifices.

 Welcome back Emeralds! We are back into the final stages of this final task. To keep you guys up to date, here is what was done. First my team did some planning and got approved by parents. Then the location, time, and invitations was sent. To add on, then filming was conducted. Finally editing got complete. Upon editing I noticed, the time was way too long. It reached a timing of two minutes and fifteen seconds. Surely this would draw my audience away. I had an urgent meeting with my team about this. Agreeing, it was voted that my part gets cut out. I was not too sure of this since it was not apart of the plan. I went along anyway, doing what is best for the team. I just put in my mind that quality is best for the Emeralds.  I went back into editing and erased my part which consisted of suggesting that entering the building was a bad idea. Luckily, the final task still looked great and it met the time limit. I learned that I must make sacrifices to do what is best for the viewers. That is all for now. Remember to stay royal green!

Our Pitch

 Our Pitch: Pitch A: A group of friends explore a abandoned building, a surprise is waiting for them. Pitch B: Two agents are sent to gather information from high school students on a case, but are the students agents too? Pitch A grabs my attention by the suspense the idea creates. I love the idea that my groupmates wants to include acting in the opening, therefore, it will not just be music throughout the whole film.  It has a concern that teenagers are alone in buildings with no surveillance, which is exactly what I want. It evokes anxiety and different emotions to make the audience want to watch more. With this pitch, the setting alone is the most exciting part.  Pitch B is okay, however it seems a bit bland. Yes, agents are pretending to be friends with these high school students, but what else? The opening will just be lack lustering. The idea is still good to film, however, I just feel it would not live up to my expectations. The setting would just be places any teenagers hang o

Movie Research: Smile

What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Similarly to Smile, our final task will also include the conventions of extreme closeups, selective props, and planned settings.   The conventions only are included to drive onto the next plot drafted by the director. These conventions contribute to the goal of keeping the viewers suspenseful as we aim to present in our final task. Our final task would like to include one character voicing their concerns and thoughts, while others brush it off, as displayed in Smile. What conventions of the the genre did the movie have that you liked? I like how the main character would just simply smile to the point where the other characters would go crazy. That same smile would continue throughout the plot to mentally torture characters to the point of tears. Also, the smile inner dialogue truly captivates the characters, as it controls the whole storyline as the director intended. The settings and props ar

Challenging conventions that actively represent social groups

Hello Emeralds, this is a step by step bake as I explain my CCR to you all. Stay royal green! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kjkRGmQ0AbBaoUAyrcvSM0UfouQZ2S9QqO4eoUBdpVo/edit?usp=sharing Transcript: For the final task, I integrated the idea of a thriller.  The theme was to not be made with horror but rather mystery. The environment was abandoned and weary.  I used those factors to make the area of film more suspicious. My video has one major social issue that causes the world to shift apart. That social issue is not following your gut, breaking away from close ones, and the outcome of breaking rules. The feeling of being lost from the group causes one to overthink about every action, thought, or breath they take. I thought it was very important to include what happens between doing activities alone and doing it with the people you have arrived with. Many agree that yes, it is important to spend time with yourself, however, it distracts you from making core memories of happiness. To
