                                              kara ps3 demo

                            deus ex-human revolution (cenematic trailer)
          

   cyberpunk 2077 trailer

                                                               ex machia trailer

                                       we also draw-out the scene and storyboard for this idea.

                                                                   what is thriller ?

-micro-element are use to create suspense
-protagonist will be in danger
-themes of seeing,reflection and mirroring-manipulation of perspective
-narrative is mostly about crime
-audience is placed in the position of 'voyeur'

                                                              film opening (lesson1-2)


         In this first and second period we have come up with 2 storyboard. one of the storyboard is  psychological/romantic thriller and the other one is spy thriller which also include action.

everybody is listening to the very tragic news that the yungest child on earth just die.the news also tell us that we can't have any children anymore.everybody stay silent,watching the news with sadness but only one person walks up to order a cup of coffee and walk away.
  outside the cafe we can see the very different view of london.The street is very dirty and polluted.There are some kind of treditional chinese transport in the road also with a interesting commercial sign.
  when the person stop walking we see that he place the cup down and put some alcoholic drink into the coffee.With this scene we can say that he might have some problem with his life.
  In the time he is pouring alcoholic drink into his coffee there is a bomb at the cafe.The bomb set the town to creazy we can also see a person walk out of the cafe which believe that is the one who bomb the cafe.

                                     Thriller sub genres Film


            For this task we have to create a thriller sub genres film.

           planning:In this process we plan to create this thriller with some
                          in it.We have disguss the set we want to shoot,costume
                          and actor.

filming process:In the day we start filming my main row is being one
                          of the actor.although i got beat-up in some scene but
                          I have fun acting.I also suggest some of the camera
                         angle which create a interesting view to the film.I also
                         sugess some of the editing filter to create more deomatic
                         sence to the film



                 Actor:Au,Pea,Pooh,Ten
                Editor:Smart
            Director:Pooh,Au,Smart

                                                     Final result


     Evaluation:I love the final outcome,the combination of the micrlement
                        isvery good,everybody woking hard to create this film.
                        However there will forever be room to improve.I think that
                        in some scene the camera angle can be change to create
                        more dromatic feeling.Furthermore some I think that I can
                        more in editing part which i diden't help much.Overall I love
                        what my team has done.

                           why do people watch scary films?


 reason
-to test ourself
-we know that it's not real
-everyone is a masochist
-to have a physical response

Aristotle
Aristotle believe in catharsis(we watch violence/negative image to purge surpassed emotion)

Zolf zillman excitation theory
by experiencing negative and scary imagery we intensify the positive or in another word,we enjoy seeing negative image being vanquished.




Glen D Walters 'what makes a film scary?

1.Tension and suspense
   -created using nanative and filming technique
2.Relevance
   -the fear explored are relevant to the audience
3.unrealism
   -we know that we are fake.we can experiment and explore

                                                                     FEAR

these are the most popular fears in our mankind history.the media use these fears to create movie for us to watch.as time pass the media repackages them as entertainment and sells them back to us again.the interesting part is we still buy them and watch it even though  the plot and theme is not very different as the old movies.

Sound editing

    In this lesson we learn how to edite sound with premier.we use point break as the video.We use sound that Mr. harison
prepair for us and put it into the video.We play around with the sound and the result is pretty good.

Lesson1

In the first lesson we(Pheebe,Pie,Au) discuss that which movie should we use to create one minute short film. At last we pick mean girls so we do a research and got inspire by this video 


furthhermore we have made storyline for our film and plan for shooting this film.

 When  we finish discuss we still have sometime left to shoot the first scene before the first lesson have end.


Lesson2

 In lesson2 we start filming, because of lack of prop we have limited scene that we can shoot. However we do our best to made a productive lesson.


 lesson3
 In this lesson we have bring alot of props and cast some more actor so we film most of our film but still haven't finish filmimg yet.

lesson4
lesson4 is madness because it's the last lesson and we still have some editing left to do and some more filmimg to do.In the end we failed the challenge because we haven't finish our film in time so we finish it at the weekend.


Evaluation
to conclude i think that we have create something funny and entertaining.We have a wonderfull time working together. although we failed the task but with failing we learn something more.what we must improve is the time management and communication.Me myself have to improve in communication skill and acting skill.
