                         Image result for thriller genre

I wanted my film project genre to be something that strays away from the most popular type, which is action. It needed to be something that I can easily film. It also had to be easily done with the locations that close to me. I didn't want to use many props and special costumes. The lighting had to be simple with what I can do outside. It also had to be known what genre I picked for my opening sequence when it's presented to my audience. I also reviewed all the research projects that were done to learn more about many other genres. Each had its own elements that would better the filming and editing process for me. The aspects needed to make a genre also had to be limited to a small number. I don't want my actors doing too much to bring the film genre to life.
 Based on all this, I ended up with two genres I really wanted to do. Those genres were thriller and horror. These were both good genres to me that each had scary and fearful emotions involved. However, I wanted to do something more suspenseful rather than frightening. This led me to pick thriller as my genre. A good thriller brings out the moods in people when watching, and I want to do that. I want to heighten my viewer's feelings of suspense, surprise, and excitement. It also brings in anxiety and anticipation. I will feel joy by participating in making a mystery. All this help me know that thriller is the genre that will best fit me.

Planning for my snickers commercial

  Props: Since I've decided that I'll be making a snickers commercial, my main prop will be the snickers candy bar. The other side props will be a football and optional safety pieces of equipment like helmets and gloves. Costumes: In my commercial, there will be three of us participating as the subjects and actors. One of my actors will be in an nonathletic attire. They will either be in a hoodie, dress shirt, pants, jeans, dress pants. They'll also be in shoes not fir for the field, such as dress shoes, flip-flops, or nonathletic sneakers. They'll also have accessories such as necklaces, rubber bands, rings, or watches. For the rest of the actors, we'll be wearing an athletic attire.

  Over the weekend, I was finally able to work on m re-shoots. I got all my actors to come to do the shoots. I already filmed these parts with them before. This made it way easier to get the scenes done. I had no troubles during the re-hoots. I got done with filming fast. I have gotten all the film I needed to re-shoot and went home. There I was finally able to edit everything. I uploaded all my footage onto my computer. I was able to speed up and slow down certain scenes. I wanted to add some sort of a tint to the footage. I had to go over some past movie title sequences. There I was able to learn how the tint looks like. I also realized this would be good to have to really bring out that suspenseful vibe you get from thriller movies. I had to research how to do this on my editing software. After that, I learned how to get that color tint on my film. Next, I wanted to see where to best add some music. I saw that it was best to do it before any of the dialogue. I then searched for some
