Creative Critical Reflection

After months of hard work and dedication, I am so excited to finally show you guys my creative process that made me motivated throughout this film brief. I am excited to share and reveal my CCR where I will break down the four questions:

• How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
• How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
• How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
• How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Question #1-

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

Presentation:

For the first part of my CCR, I chose to answer this question through a presentation because it was the clearest and most effective approach. At first, I considered doing a podcast, but I realized a presentation would work better since I could show pictures and video clips while explaining how my film represents social groups and issues. This helps the examiner stay more engaged and better understand my points. I also matched the design of the PowerPoint to my horror opening by using red text to suggest danger, especially around the “Do Not Touch” box, and a black theme to reflect the dark, unsettling tone of the film.

Question #2-

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

Interview

For the second part of my CCR, I decided to be more creative by presenting it as an interview episode called the “I-93 Show.” I felt an interview was the best way to answer how I engage my target audience and how I would distribute my film as a real media text. It created the impression of a live show where I was the special guest answering questions in front of an audience, which made my explanation more interesting and engaging. This format also allowed me to include production elements, such as showing scenes from my film while explaining how they appeal to the audience, making the response feel more realistic and effective.

Question #3- 

 How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Director's Commentary:

For the third CCR, I decided to stick with a director's commentary showcasing of how I actually integrated technologies, software, and hardware throughout my project. Here, I will be doing a commentary where the production of the recording is placed in "IMOVIE, where I will not only explain but show you like guide of I how utilized and used editing techniques throughout my film while explaining and answering the question.

Question #4- 

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Podcast:

For the final part of my CCR, I decided to end it off with the a podcast name, "Surge Productions". I thought a podcast is a best approach as this question is more conversational to address. Since I have to answer how my production skills develop. So, a podcast enhanced me to follow the conventions of answering this question in a interactive manner. Not only it was just me speaking on a screen. I added horror background music to apply the technical elements of sounds we have learned for a horror convention. The Podcast picture is designed as a film slapping into a cut with a red text, font "I Love Horror," to notify this podcast is regards to the horror topics. 

Reflection:

Overall, it was a great journey for me to come up with four different creatives way to answer the question. Not only di I just did four different ways of explaining my questions, I did them in a creative approach where I apply my technical elements of horror. So, the creative process is known to be an extent to be aligned with the learning concepts of our horror thriller blockbuster, "DHOST".

I hope you guys enjoy the CCR's and are able to see the true clear vision of what mind went into my production process of DHOST.

The Struggles

Hello everyone, today is the day where I am happy to inform you that I have officially concluded my film opening. This is our thirtieth blog, and oh boy, it was a journey! Three weeks of researching, planning, and production made me realize how much hard work and time goes into this process, as Isaac and I learned the different conventions and genres before stepping into filming. It is like going to medical school before becoming a doctor. You need training and many clinical rotations where you learn how to perform surgeries and what tools are used during an operation. These blogs were exactly like that. I would describe medical school as the research stage, clinical rotations as the planning stage where we learn which tools to use, such as gloves, masks, and injection needles, and becoming an official doctor as the production stage, where you apply the skills you have built up and decide what is best for the operation. In this case, our surgery is our film opening.

Being at the stage where we got toward performing our operation did not come easily. It came with an abundant amount of complications and struggles. First, there were some instances where I found it challenging to find resources for learning how genre conventions are displayed in a horror-thriller. There were many resources that were labeled as blogs. Blogs were not credible enough to fit a thesis and did not always provide an accurate understanding of how these genre conventions align with horror-thriller. There were some instances where I did not notice that I was using a resource from a blog, which made me basically restart my whole research blog section again. But there was no frustration involved. I just learned, looked for better resources, and made sure one thing would always stay in my mind: “MAKE SURE THE AUTHOR IS CREDIBLE.” 

If we are not aware of this, not only are we at a potential loss of accurate sources, but these blogs may also be biased, and you are not even aware if the student had enough knowledge or scored high enough on their portfolio. 

I did not let this stop my research. As I dove deeper, I utilized sources from YouTube where I was able to visually see and learn which articles were best for me to understand the genre conventions and how a film opening should be for my horror-thriller. Not only was the time I spent restarting stressful, but it also helped address all of the concerns I had, especially when I was stressed about what to do next for my research. Coming up with ideas on what to research next was not an easy task. I had to look at various examples from other blogs and do my research through articles. But there was no pressure since I knew what I was doing, and I allowed myself to work at a calm pace with perseverance.

Now, when it came to the planning, I had a hard time deciding how to finalize a script and how to structure it. Even though I did the research, it was still hard to be creative. But the way I resolved it was by looking back at the studies I had done where I analyzed two film openings, and I was able to come up with ideas on how to finalize our plan and our script. To finalize our script, it took three revisions. This was because Isaac and I kept changing some parts of the story to either make it better or condense the film opening. There were some instances where our script had so much gone on that it made us cut some things out. As I learned, there were certain areas where I was telling a whole story instead of just creating an opening. For instance, I initially had a plan where, instead of ending my film opening with the body being placed in a trunk, the antagonist would continue the scene by driving off to the lake and dragging the body, with blood dripping on the floor, toward the lake. He would then kick it softly into the water where the bag floats away. The film would then finish with him lighting a candle near the bag and burning the body, then revealing himself as the driver. I thought it was a great way to add more thrilling suspense to my horror film opening, considering I had looked at other films and studied that they do a similar approach where they leave a protagonist stranded somewhere and burn evidence. But I was not fully understanding the point. I was looking at it from the perspective of a full story, not from the perspective that I was only supposed to make a film opening. But my team and I were able to condense the ending so that I do not reveal the antagonist taking off his mask, and instead end with the trunk being closed, which leaves the audience with mystery. 

Script #1

Script #2

Script #3

During the time of filming and editing, for the most part, we had challenges, but they were not as severe as before. We were able to work as a team and finish this film opening at the right time, which gave me more time to edit. But I did have certain issues. As we have seen in the earlier blogs, I discussed how we had to reshoot scenes, such as fixing the lighting issues, and I also had issues with certain production choices where I wanted to show the garage opening randomly with no lights on. This was impossible considering my cousin’s garage has an automatic sensor where the lights turn on. 

But we did not let these small issues go to waste. We altered these ideas by learning from our mistakes and making the scenes look better. We were able to reshoot scenes at the garage to fix the lighting. Not only did we fix the lighting, but we also came up with better angles that I never mentioned in my script, which added more points to my film opening. It made me more confident in learning how to use wider angles and multiple shots to help convey the meaning and purpose of the film’s pacing, suspense, and tension. The lesson learned here is that if we make mistakes, we can come up with better solutions for things we thought we would never accomplish. For example, people complained about the sign being hard to see, so we fixed that by utilizing iMovie, where there was an option you can click on when you select the clip to freeze the scene instead of reshooting the whole thing. We hit the freeze button and added a color effect to make the sign more visible.

Another struggle we had was when we recorded the scene of the protagonist entering the garage. There was a lot of background noise, and there were shadows showing my cameraman recording me in the frame. Isaac and I were not aware of this. I was worried that this would hinder the continuity and the overall genre purpose of how the mise-en-scène is applied toward the horror film opening. Before panicking and making myself go through a third day of reshooting, we simply resolved the issue by looking at the clip multiple times.

 We noticed that when I entered the garage, it added filler to the film opening, so it was actually a great idea to cut that scene and instead go straight to the shot where the camera is tracking closely on the protagonist observing the garage. These shadows did panic us, but they also left us with a clear message and wake-up call of what needed to be fixed. The scene still flowed smoothly in transition due to the consistency of how the camera was moving, so it did not feel like anything was missing.

For the most part, I am greatly happy to affirm that these struggles helped us open new doors in our journey, where we made vast improvements in filming. With consistent collaboration with my friends, Isaac and Nabeel, we had a great time fixing the mistakes we had and letting those mistakes determine our evaluation of what other errors we observed in our filming that we did not notice before. The struggles became a path that helped us learn what we needed to add and remove. iMovie was a great editing software despite having its limitations, where I thought it was a struggle to learn how to apply text and color during the editing. But the editing was smoothly done, as I revised and edited more to the point where I fixed my own issues with the film opening, like when we literally muted the sound where the background noise was too loud when I was entering the garage. The background music that we applied for the film opening, “Something In the Woods,” was great because it captured the moment of what a garage setting would sound like, so there was no issue when it came to having consistent worries about whether this would affect the continuity of the sound or whether the sound would have a weird, awkward pause.

Alright, enough chitchatting about my struggles. I can go on and on about my struggles, it can cost two blogs. But enough is enough. The operation is done. Less talking and more showing our struggle coming to light.

Be ready for our film brief in da next one!

Editing Production: Wrapping Up The Production

Hello everyone, today is the stage where I am adding the final touches to my film opening. This is where I organize my clips, apply transitions, and include any other elements needed to complete the sequence.

Opening Sequences:

First, I adjusted the opening credits by applying a text filter known as “Simple.” I clicked on the text option, and there were many options to pick from, but me and Issac stuck with this one. This filter lets the text appear in the bottom corner of the screen. In films, name credits are commonly shown in this format, and on top of that, there is a smooth fade-in and fade-out which makes the text easier to read and allows the audience to clearly identify each credit. This helps the sequence look more conventional and professional, while also reflecting the style of real film openings.

The next thing I did was design the colors for my text when revealing the cast and directors. I displayed the text so that it fades in as a split, and the color was adjusted to a dark red to give it a more deadly and threatening appearance. This clearly corresponds to the theme of the film opening, as the dark red connotes danger, violence, and tension. As a result, it helps reinforce the horror-thriller genre and creates a more unsettling tone for the audience.

The last thing I utilized for my text was creating a title card, where I made the spectrum bright red and used the “Prism” filter, which makes the text fade in as a swipe with the letters moving around. This transitions perfectly with the garbage bag being placed in the trunk. I wanted to create more visual impact for the audience rather than simply using a jump cut. I let the trunk shut first, and then the title card is smashed towards the screen. This makes the moment feel more dramatic and intense, while also matching the scene’s disturbing nature.

Final Step:

The clips were put together well by placing them in chronological order, and I trimmed some unnecessary filler shots from my scenes to make the film rely more on multiple shots and angles. For example, I cut the scene where I was just walking to the garage because I felt that it did not add much tension and acted more as filler. Instead, I included the scene of the protagonist entering, where the antagonist fades off to the next cut, and then the camera gets closer to him as he looks around the garage. This makes the scene feel more purposeful and allows the audience to focus more on the suspenseful atmosphere.

I also improved the tracking shot by zooming in towards the direction of what the protagonist was observing, so the audience could better feel and see how the garage is being portrayed. This was done by clicking on the top right corner where there is a search symbol, which you click so the scene can be pinched in to zoom in. This helps place the audience into the protagonist’s perspective and builds curiosity about what may be inside the space. 

I also muted the background noises of the scene and left the background music, which helps elevate the suspense and mystery of the discovery of the garage. As a result, the garage is represented as more mysterious and unsettling.

I applied another zoom-in effect where I pinched in a zoom exactly at the moment where the camera pans fast towards the antagonist as he does a suspicious whisper, “It kinda is, you know.” I felt this was a great time to utilize this since it showed more of a close-up shot of the antagonist’s emotion of suspiciousness when displaying his whisper to convince the protagonist to enter the garage. This was perfectly synced with the sound, and it overall fits the purpose of utilizing software to enhance the meaning of applying horror-thriller conventions.

I applied transitions throughout my clips by using certain fade-ins and fade-outs so that the scenes would not feel abrupt or cluttered. These transitions help the sequence flow more smoothly from one shot to the next and make the editing look more controlled and polished. Fade-ins were especially useful when the scenes transition towards the scenes displaying the inside of the car to the characters entering the garage.

Reflection: 

Well, these were the final touches I did for my film opening. It was a long process, but I am glad to say that we got the work done. We took our time to figure out which sounds and text effects worked best, while also learning how to navigate iMovie properly and edit effectively. Since I was familiar with editing, I was able to navigate it proficiently. Before I reveal my final brief, I will dedicate one blog to discussing my struggles throughout this progress journey when it came to production. Even though we got the work done, there were still struggles along the way, which is pretty generalizable since those flaws helped make our progress better. But for now, I am going to get some sleep, and in the next blog, we will discuss my struggles.

Until next time, see you guys in the next post!

Editing Production: Applying Color Gradition & Theory

Hello everyone, it's me Sherjil! Back with another blog. Today I will go over the color gradation and effects I have applied during my editing process. Here are a couple of colors that were applied throughout.

Applying The Color Blue:

I applied a blue color effect when the sign, “Welcome Dhost,” shows up. As I mentioned earlier, I had friends complaining that the sign was not legible. I came up with the idea to change the color of the scene to blue not only to make it more legible, but also because it fits the purpose of this scenario. The sign, “Welcome Dhost,” is used to welcome guests into a lost neighborhood. From what we learned about the color blue, it is a versatile color that can represent a wide range of emotions, such as feeling isolated or trapped. Applying this color to the sign underscores vulnerability and signals that the characters are entering a neighborhood where a threat may be present. To add the color, all I did was click the color option and set the effect to 100 so the sign would stand out more and be easier to read.

Applying A Western Filter:

The Western filter is an effect in iMovie that creates a warm, sepia-like color palette, mainly using brown, orange, and dark shadow tones. I applied this color effect during the scene where the antagonist responds, “It kinda is, you know,” to the protagonist when he asks why the garage is open. This color helps create a warm tone that looks harmonious but still unsettling. It suggests that the antagonist is acting suspiciously and hints that something dangerous may happen, or that he may be involved in something secretive. Using this effect is especially effective because it makes the car scene feel darker, more unsettling, and more suspicious, which are all common qualities that help build tension in a horror-thriller.

Similarly, during the editing process, I applied the Vintage filter to this garage scene, where we see the protagonist look closely at how messy the garage is. This effect adds dark, red, orange, and shadow-heavy tones, which makes the setting feel warmer in color but far more disturbing in meaning. Instead of the garage looking normal or harmless, I utilized the filter to make the setting feel more hidden, eerie, and dangerous, suggesting that something is wrong within this space. This effect in iMovie was used to make the garage feel visually more intense and to show that this location is not just messy; this was done by having the color shaded at its highest, 100. The effect helps make it an important place where danger and mystery are starting to build in the horror-thriller opening.

Another color effect I applied throughout the editing process was the Camo effect. I utilized this filter to make certain scenes look warmer while also making the lighting and background appear dimmer. This helped bring out greater visual detail and made the scenes feel darker and grimmer than the original footage. As a result, it increases the sense of vulnerability and allows the audience to more clearly see the isolated and unsettling atmosphere surrounding the characters. To achieve this purpose at the right moment, I applied the Camo effect during the sequence from when the body is being picked up until the backyard scene.

Applying The Blast Filter:

During post-production, I utilized the Blast filter in iMovie to build suspense as the antagonist gets closer to the protagonist to prepare to hit him with the pebbles. In the editing software, I readjusted the levels of shade/brightness of the color to exactly 49, so the green tint is not overpowering the shot but noticeable. This was important because I could allow the audience to still clearly see the antagonist moving closely, while the darker green tone and shadows made the garage feel more eerie and unsettling. Keeping the effect at 49 created a balanced look where the color enhanced the tension of the moment and helped with the pacing of foreshadowing the violence that is about to happen.

Similarly, I utilized the same color concept, but this time it is a different variation of the green color, the “Blockbuster” effect in iMovie, but this time I made the color much darker to emphasize the fear, panic, and distress of the protagonist. The Blockbuster filter was utilized to add deeper shadows and darker green tones, which makes the scene feel more suspenseful and visually threatening towards the shot. By using this effect, I am able to show how scared and helpless the protagonist feels in the moment. Instead of having the original shot of the whole scene be dark, we were able to mix our mise en scène concept of a scene in a horror-thriller being dark and grimy. The green helps apply more tension for the audience and has the film represented with building more tension.

Reflection:

Overall, using these color effects throughout my editing process helped me realize how important color grading is in creating the mood of a horror-thriller. Each filter was not just added for its style, but for a specific reason, whether it was to make a scene feel more eerie, suspicious, dark, or intense. Through this process, I learned that editing can strongly affect how the audience reacts to each moment and how they understand the atmosphere of the story. Enough chit-chatting, we need to start wrapping up our editing production. The time is clicking in.

The next day will be the final day where I wrap up editing. I just need to add a couple of things such as opening sequences and certain transitions that will help make the film opening move smoother.

For now, I will be signing off.

See ya guys in the next post!

We are so close towards finishing up for the moment we have been waiting for.

Editing Production- Putting the Clips Together & Working On Logos

Introduction

Hello everyone, it’s me, Sherjil. Now that we have finished our film opening reshoots and are happy with the results, we are moving on to editing all of our clips together. For our editing software, we decided to use iMovie. We chose iMovie because I am already familiar with it, and it is much easier to use while still allowing us to edit our film in a professional way, similar to software like Adobe Premiere Pro.

Organizing the Clips

For today’s editing session, I started a new project draft and placed all of our clips in chronological order. We wanted to make sure every scene was organized properly before making any major edits.

Once the scenes were in order, I began working on the logo for the film opening. From my research, I learned that many film openings begin with logos that introduce the distributors, so I wanted to include that in our own project. I also looked at how these logos are usually presented so I could make ours feel more realistic and professional.

Creating the First Logo

In today’s blog, I am going to discuss how I created the logos and what effects I used to build suspense for our horror opening. First, I added a background using one of the many templates available in iMovie. There were different options, such as solid colors, gradients, and patterns. I decided to use a pattern background because I wanted it to look more creative and fit the overall theme of the film. The pattern I chose had a white background with red stripes, which stood out well and matched the horror-thriller style we are aiming for.

After adding the background, I changed the color effect to “Silent Era,” which is one of the editing features in iMovie. I found this feature by clicking the color settings in the bottom right corner. I chose this effect because I wanted the logo to immediately give the audience a sense that the film is going to be dark, suspenseful, and unsettling. This helps set the tone early and prepares the audience for what is coming next.

Designing the Text

For the text, I made the title say “RRG Presents.” The letters stand for Red Room Group. We created this logo to represent a production company that is known for making films that are creepy, cinematic, and unsettling. This helps give the audience a sense of credibility and makes it seem like the film was created by a team that understands the horror-thriller genre.

After that, I used the “Focus” transition on the text so it would blend in smoothly with the background. As the words were typed out, they slowly faded onto the screen, which made the logo look more professional and added to the suspense.

For the text itself, I changed the color settings to make it more visible. I adjusted the grid to a light red shade and changed the spectrum so the words would stand out clearly. Then, I used the sliders to strengthen the color values. I increased the red level to the maximum, 255, and adjusted the green to 83 and the blue to 40 so the text would have a strong red appearance. This helped improve the visibility while also fitting the horror theme. 

Lastly, I changed the font to Chalkduster because it gave the text a darker, more threatening feel. Its rough and uneven style made the logo look eerie, which fit the horror tone of our film opening better.

Here are the final results for this logo:

Creating the Second Logo

For the second logo, I used a video effect that I found on YouTube. I wanted the background to have a real VHS-style distortion effect. I used this for the “Surge Productions” logo. I came up with this idea because during my observation of Five Nights at Freddy’s, I noticed that one of their logos used distorted VHS visuals and sound effects to make the opening feel more intense and unsettling. I wanted to create a similar effect in my own film opening so the audience would immediately feel prepared for the horror atmosphere. This adds more tension and creates a stronger beginning for the movie.

 VHR Logo that was utilized for the opening: 

For the effects, I made the title open using a split transition and applied a red font color so it would match the distorted VHS clip. This made the logo fit the horror style more effectively and helped it blend well with the unsettling visual effect.

Here are the results of the second logo:

Conclusion

Although this may not seem like a lot of progress for editing the full film opening, it was still a great first step. In this stage, I was able to apply my knowledge and create the logos for the beginning of the film. I wanted to take a more creative approach by adding a title sequence instead of abruptly starting the opening with a black screen. This makes the introduction more interesting and builds suspense while also creating a smoother transition into the film itself. I am glad that learning from my research where I studied the color theory and the film opening, I was able to apply these techniques in my own opening. I guess research really does give you inspiration on how these horror films come to light.

For now, this is all the progress we have made. We also combined the clips together, which helped me understand which scene will be edited first and for what purpose. Until next time, I will discuss more of what will be developed during the editing process.

See you guys in the next post!

Editing Production- Placing The Sounds To The Right Place

Hello everyone, since we have gathered and researched the sounds that would best fit our film opening, now it is time to put these sounds into scenes that can correspond to its theme. As we have learned from our research, sounds in a horror-thriller are placed into a narrative where they need to be placed. I will apply the editing skills of isolating and balancing the volume between the background music and the film opening, so the audio is placed in a proper manner and then synced in properly.

Adjusting Background Music:

I adjusted the background music by placing it so it stayed synced for the duration of the film opening.

Introduction:

For the introduction, I started off by utilizing the background music known as “Something In The Woods.” I utilized the first one minute as the first half of the film opening was leading toward the intensity and suspense of what would be revealed next. I did this by fading in the first three seconds of the sound, so it fades in properly and balances with the flow of the scenes.

Sign scene:

Then, when the camera pans toward the sign, I changed the background music to one known as “Creepy Atmosphere” to enhance the sound of something dangerous being revealed or hinted at. The way I was able to blend into the next sound was by fading in and out. Honestly, for the background music, I was able to have appropriate results where the sounds blended together because of their similar tempo and soundscape.

Garage scene:

When entering the garage, I was able to shift the background music to one where the tempo was higher with its bass violins. This brought suspense and tension for the audience to be fully entertained by what would happen next and fit the genre code of the dark garage setting.

Here are the results of how the background music of my film opening was applied, and here are some progress photos where I show you how I utilized putting these sounds together to blend in with one another.

Adding Sound Effects:

For the most part, adding the sound effects was not really a challenge. Based on my past editing experience, I was fully aware of what the right time was to put a certain sound effect into a certain theme for a scene.

Logo scene:

First, I sequenced the sound for my logo to bring momentum to the display of my logo. I just did not want to leave it with no sound. The timing to decide where to place it took time, but it was successfully met with precise results.

Antagonist running scene:

For instance, during the scene when the antagonist runs toward the protagonist, the way I was able to blend the transition from the background music toward the “jumpscare sound effect” to indicate that the antagonist is running toward him was by extending the fade-in for the “jumpscare,” so the sound transitions in a manner where there is no delay or sudden notice of a sound shift. It was as if the sound was included in the background music. This requirement was successfully met by fading out the background music during the scene when the box is opened.

Garage closing scene:

I created a smooth transition for the garage closing by extending the fade-in to avoid any sudden notice of the sound or delay. This helped the sound blend into the thrilling sound effect during the transition from the body being placed on the floor to the antagonist picking it up. This method of organizing the sound effects made sure they were used at the right time and did not have sudden delays in where they needed to be placed.

Whisper scene:

I made sure that the sound effects I was using had meaning toward the scene’s output. One example of the way I utilized this was by having a creepy violin when the antagonist does an evil whisper during the scene when he tells, “it kinda is you know,” when asked about the garage opening. I was once again able to utilize the extension of the fade-in and fade-out, which helped connect with the pacing of the scene with the sound.

Backyard body scene:

Non-diegetic sounds were also taken into account where I placed the sounds at the right time at the given moment of the scene transitioning toward the body being placed in the backyard.

Ending transition:

Then, the sounds were concluded with the whistle sound effect, “Liese,” This sound was placed at the right time during the transiton towards the body being killed with the chainsaw towards the final scene of the body being placed in the black bag. There was a bell sound effect that help divide out the clip. The sound helped me not abrupt the transitons or cause certain delays or pauses for the next scene to be prevailed. have a smooth transition toward the smash, trunk slam, and then the title card.

Reflection:

Not only did I research what sounds and background music would fit my film opening, but I was also able to figure out exactly where to place these sounds in each scene and in the correct order. After placing the sounds, I was honestly surprised by how perfectly they blended together. There were no issues with sudden delays because I used the fade-in and fade-out feature, which helped the sounds transition smoothly.

At this point, I am happy to say that the sounds for my film opening have been finalized, and we are almost done with the bulk of the editing. I just need to add a couple of final touches, and then we will finally reach the moment we have been anticipating. Honestly, my research did pay off when it came to teach me that sounds elevate a horror thriller by providing certain jump scares or schemes that helps bring tensions and suspense. To simplify, sounds have their own meaning and their placements which we have to asses when is the right time to place them based on evaluating our scenes.

For now, I will sign off,

See ya guys in da next post!
