                    Welcome back to my blog reader ! I have come on to this blog to inform you dear reader that after doing the genre r esearch which allowed me to take a look at the common camera angels, movement, shots, sound, editing, Mis-En-Scene , examples as well as learning which elements I did and did not find appealing about the genres of horror, thriller, and dystopian. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the genre of thriller is that one that I believe will best suit my film. The reason as to why I choose th e specific genre of thriller is beca use I found it to be the most suitable for pitch as my film deals with a young adult who wins a riffle ticket but does not yet know what that will cost her  therefore leading me to be in dire need of   a genre that conveys suspense and mystery as well as uneasiness that lea ds the audienc e to go through feelings of anxiety, fear, anticipation thus making them be at the edg e of their sea

My Pitch

                 Welcome back to my blog reader!                 Here are the two pitches for my film:                             . Pitch 1:  A group of friends can’t wait to go to the carnival that is coming to town , but it turns out it is nothing like they expected.              . Pitch 2:  A young lady wins a riffle ticket , but at what price?                   . Pitch 1: T he first pitch consists of a group of friends who can’t wait to attend the carnival that is coming to town, but it turns out to be nothing like what they signed up for. This idea was very appealing to me as it makes the characters interact with larger surroundings and individuals. However, it would be difficult to find a carnival near me in time f or filming and if I was able to find one in time, it could turn out to be quite expensive if I want to film the characters on the rides that reside at the carniv al . Further, the large quantity of actors/ actresses this film requires would also brin

Moving forward from that experience to now, I have decided that this time and for this project I am going to challenge myself further and I'm going to  work by myself in order to see how far I can go and push myself for the b etter. Now that you know that my group consists of only myself, I would like to talk to you , reader of mine, about my experience of filming and editing as well as what I wish to improve this time around. In my previous projects, editing and filming are skills that I have been exposed to more and more as time went on due to those experiences.
