How did you use media forms to come up with something new and original ? Where did ideas come from? When it came to planning our film we first picked a genre that we were all most interested in. We finally decided to make a horror movie and started to look at other horror films like scream and the shining and wrote down the key parts and all the conventions that we would need to include in our film to make it successful. We the researched settings that would be good for a horror movie and decided that a house would be most conventional, following this we made a mood board with other ideas of different settings in-case we were unable to arrange to film at someones house.

We made our story board by creating pictures on an iPhone and then editing it on Adobe so that in the end we had a short movie which was an effective way of making a story board and was also a lot easier. We also found different videos online of how to do special effects makeup and uploaded them to our blog page, this was a good way of doing it because this way, ourselves and the audience were able to watch and engage step by step. What software was used? during our research and planning, we mainly used Adobe Premier Elements 10, When it came to uploading our videos to YouTube, I found this very easy and straightforward because I already knew how to work YouTube and how to edit and upload stuff. When editing our film we used a software called Adobe Premiere Elements 10 which is a software I was not familiar with and I find it difficult to get my head around how it works.  ...
