I feel like the director was going for a thriller. It had a very eerie feeling to it and the sound definitely played a huge role. Even if I wasn't looking at it I would still be able to tell what was going on. The sound makes the scene seem scary and dark. The lighting also is a huge factor. The lighting and sound work together to create a sense of strange eeriness. The scene in the interrogation room where 
the male main character chokes the female one is enhanced by the dark lighting. The camera angles are mostly used to help engage the audience. Thye use a lot of over the shoulder shots which help the audience feel like they are in the room in place of the female character. They also use close ups frequently of the woman which look as if she is looking right at you, because the man's back is to her. The editing is extremely smooth because they use a lot of shot reverse shots. It also uses a sort of voiceover when the police officer outside is telling the male main character to stop choking the female. The mise en scene in this scene is really good. She doesnt have on extravagant makeup and he is dressed like a police officer or detective. The way he is dressed reminds me of the detectives from law and order. The room is also decorated as if it's actually an interrogation room at a police station, and nothing is out of place.

Movie CCR

For my ccr I didn’t know what to do. We were originally going to do a 74 questions by vogue inspired video. Which is on vogues you tube channel. They interview celebrities while getting a tour around their house. But since corona virus we weren’t able to meet up. Then I wanted to asmr. But I thought that would be too weird. When I asked my group they said that it was a bad idea. So then I asked about a grwm and they said that it was a good idea. Grwm means get ready with me by the way. So basically you do your makeup on camera as if you were going somewhere. Sadly I can’t go anywhere but I still thought it was fun. I haven’t done make up on camera before. So I thought it was really fun. I made a lot of mistakes. But it was a cool thing to do for the first time.

Movie

The movie was very hard to film. It was really fun though. I’ve always wanted to act. Acting as a murderer wasn’t what I had in my mind for my first role. But it was fun none the less. We had trouble putting our credits in the correct order because we had to do it over FaceTime. We also tried to recast for our reshoots but with the whole covid-19 thing and being on quarantine we had to keep our old movie. This movie helped us realize that we aren’t really cut out to be directors anytime soon. We actually started filming our new actors but because we couldn’t get the whole movie we thought it would be weird to have somebody be the murderer and someone be interviewed. It didn’t help that we looked completely different too. My favorite thing we filmed was in the study rooms. That day kat and I had a party to go to so I got to her house at 9am then we went to film with everyone. Then we all ended at kats house just watching tv and eating McDonald’s. Then later that night Kat and I went to our party. It was actually one of our media friends sweet sixteen. It was really fun.

Music video

The music video was so easy to film. Personally it was my favorite thing we filmed this year. It was just us hanging out and relaxing. I know a lot of people did the same thing as us. As in hanging out with friends and then turning on a camera. I know the set of actual music videos isn’t like that but it was such a fun environment to be in. We filmed over two weekend and two days. Weekend one is the first scenes with the skateboards and stuff. Then week two is with the bean boozled challenge and the confetti at the end. On weekend two Luisa wasn’t there but our friend Melanie was so it’s fine. On weekend two we had a sleepover at kats house and went to the mall and then out to eat. We also made some brownies that tasted so good. Filming the music video was such a cool experience. It was something fun and enjoyable to do with friends and I definitely enjoyed it. I hope if I take A level media that I have the same experiences as this. I’ve had so much fun in this class.
