Creative Critical Reflection! Hi! My name is Carey Joyce and I am in 10 th grade in the Cambridge program and throughout this year I developed with my partner Aden Mangones the film opening ALONE. To start off, I will begin with discussing how our products challengs uses common horror genre cliches and how represents differen social issues. I would say that going into this project we really looked at so many of the classic horrors such as Scream, The Shining, etc. Going into this we knew it was super important that through this film opening we hooked our readers. So, to do this we PLAYED into the genre. How? The ominous music, dark ambiance, and the unsettling angles. All of this was super important to us in the way we used the conventions of the genre to work FOR us. However, I would say that despite playing into the conventions considerably. An angle we didn’t use purposefully were any extreme close ups. We wanted to always keep a stalking distance between the victim and killer... u...

 FINAL GROUP DYNAMICS     Previously! I had discussed in brief how Aden and I split the work in this film opening project. Today, I will discuss more about how we split the work catering to our specific expertise in this project. While, also, splitting this work perfectly evenly!!! In this blog post, I will write 3 different lists. One will be on what I did seventy-five percent of. The other will be what Aden did seventy-five percent and what we did both did together.

So I took the opportunity on my day off to work on our foley sounds! And, despite the distance, Aden has been SUPER helpful through encouragement and ideas for my foley recordings. Now let me get down to this PROCESS.      Starting with the recordings of the me walking outside talking out the dog. The footsteps were honestly a struggle. It seems extremely simple, just hit the shoes on the ground. On the contrary, you have to TIME these sound bites. Through trial and error, I used my IPAD to see the video and recorded the audio clip with my phone stepping on the concrete outside. You will see in the final product the mimicked steps. Aden will also go back and edit my foley to find anything out of sync I might have missed!      Next, I recorded new sounds for the door creaking and sliding coming inside ...
