Film Project Genre Research Hush

Hush, which was released in 2016, is a thriller and horror movie. The first two minutes of the film portrays a deaf woman cooking herself dinner. The shots in the beginning of the film are an establishing shot showing the trees surrounding the lonely house, a close up of the face of the actress, a point of view shot of the actress looking into the oven at the lamb chops, and a mid shot of the actress preparing her meal. The crane technique is used when showing the tree tops and the top of the woman's house. Scenery sound is incorporated in the beginning of Hush using the sounds of the chopping of onions, asparagus sizzling in the burning pan, and birds chirping outside. This makes the audience feel like they are in the film as they are hearing familiar sounds of everyday life. In the first thirty seconds of Hush, job titles are shown followed by the title of the movie and the credits they acknowledged are BH productions and Intrepid Pictures. The film budget for Hush was one million dollars and the amount of money made is unknown. Hush was nominated for only one award, The Chainsaw Award.

The movie Would You Rather is a thriller and horror film. The first two minutes of the film shows a young woman coming back to her hometown because her brother got into an accident. While she is at home, she is taking care of her brother and applying for a job at a restaurant. The shots established throughout the beginning of the film are a two shot showing the young woman applying for a job with the restaurant manager, a long shot showing the whole restaurant with the woman in the middle of it, and a mid-shot showing the young woman's upper body. There are fade outs in the transitioning of scenes and the music is very intense and creepy making the viewer feel a sense of fear. The opening credits in the beginning of the film are staggered between the scenes of the woman in the restaurant, displaying the production companies they worked with, like IFC Films. The film Would You Rather' s budget and profit is unknown and the film has been nominated for the Fright Meter Award.

Project Selection-Film

The other AICE Media Studies project, the film project, is a group assignment where your team produces a maximum two minute original film. During the first quarter of AICE Media Studies, we learned about journalism and film production. We watched a few different styles of film production, ranging from All the President's Men to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. All the President's Men is an example of more basic filmmaking.  Ferris Bueller's Day Off   was a new type of film in the mid 1980's since Matthew Broderick, the actor of Ferris Bueller, was talking to the audience which was a new concept at the time. I possess the skill of being very creative and I enjoy taking risks. I am also very passionate when it comes to creative writing and it is more entertaining to write than non-fiction. One struggle I might have with the film project is that I am not a very good at actor and I am camera-shy.
