Genre Research: Get Out

     In this 2017 thriller, Chris and his girlfriend head upstate to meet her parents. They were an interracial couple and he was nervous about meeting them for the first time. Once there, he noticed that they have many workers. However, all of them were black. They almost acted like robots and were so perfect. Chris picked up on a few things but wasn't that suspicious. He did notice the family was almost too friendly it was unsettling. Things began to make Chris really suspicious, his girlfriend revealed that the only reason he was there is to put him in a trance called The Sunken Place. Where black people are manipulated into working for white people. Chris survived but he will never be the same.

Elements our pitch and movie have: In our final task, the mom has no idea that her best friend and godmother of her child felt this way towards her. The mom trusted her so much but the godmother only had bad intentions. Just like in the movie, Get Out, Chris thought he could trust his girlfriend but all she wanted to do was get him there so they could manipulate him into making him a "slave."

Elements I like: I like the fact that this movie shows how you should never trust anybody. People put up fake personas to try to manipulate others. Also, it's important to realize you should always follow your gut. I like the fact the entire movie is a plot twist. Since the girlfriend seemed to be the true evil of the movie.

Elements I don't like: I feel as though this movie portrayed Chris as a very vulnerable person. Where they should have portrayed him as someone who has just been betrayed. He had no idea his girlfriend and her family would end up being some lunatics, he was just a victim of their evil plans.

  Before: Once I finished filming and made sure I had all my scenes and looked back at them to make sure I was happy with them. I also deleted any extra videos saved in my camera roll that was not going to be used. Now, I started my editing process. During: During my editing process I officially sat down and began working on my commercial. The editing software that I used was Cute Cut Pro. I added the first scene of my commercial and cut up any extra time. Then, I added the next scene and made sure that the transition was clean and not choppy. I noticed that already with my first two scenes, my commercial was already 14 seconds. I felt like I needed to cut it up more. I tried to make it so each scene added up to 5 seconds. Once I finished adding my other scenes I added the rest of my scenes and again made sure they transitioned smoothly. Each time I made some progress in my commercial, I went back and viewed how it looked all together. Now I added the text to my commercial and mov...

Editing Blog for my Music Video

 Before: Now that my partner and I finished filming all our scenes we began editing. At this point, we had realized the mistake that we had made. We forgot that we needed to film our video horizontally and not vertically. We couldn't go back and retake the scenes because it was already dark outside.  During: When I was younger I would make random edits of my favorite celebrities and influencers. Because of this I already had some minor experience with using editing software. I did most of the editing but my partner was the creative director behind it. The first part was picking a good part of the song to use for our music video. I went on Youtube and Suzie suggested using the part of the song where there is less singing because it would fit better with our video. We did just that and got the 30 seconds of the song we needed. The software we used to edit is Cute Cut Pro, I've used this software multiple times because it is so easy to use and makes editing so much more enjoyabl...

 Youtube Link:  https://youtu.be/m8puPEq23A4     My overall experience with this commercial project was great. I really love the product I chose, I use it often and think its a great lip-gloss. When it comes to production, I enjoyed the way I filmed my project and edited it. I think it really represents who I am and the passion I have for makeup and beauty. The filming was pretty smooth and enjoyable. Editing was also fun, after I figured out home to do transitions and how to make my commercial the right length. I wish I would have incorporated all the aspects that I had on my storyboard and in my head into my commercial. However, I had limited time and wasn't able to fully create the commercial I wanted to. However, I am still very proud of what I created and think it's really close to what I intended it to be. My other concern is that I wish there were more details provided on the requirements of the project. I wasn't aware of many things but luckily I still w...
