Creative Critical Reflection

Final Project

When Isabella finds out that her best friend since elementary school has been sleeping with her boyfriend of four years, it really gets to her head and she takes it to the extreme when seeking out her revenge. Below is the link to the opening of MICC productions' original film, "HACKED".

Finishing The Editing

We are only missing to add the screen cast part where I give Caroline the command to kill her boyfriend to finish the opening. We have already filmed the screen cast but since I am more forgetful than a 105 year old man I completely forgot to bring my laptop which has the saved screen cast video on it so I can't add it till I get home. Once I add that to the end and add the title of the film, we will have finally finished our opening. I'm excited to see it all together,  hopefully it comes out great and our F- acting skills don't affect it too badly.

Sound Elements

I hadn't added a lot of sound elements to my opening and the ones that I did add I hadn't checked if they were copy righted so I looked through every sound effect on imovie, which has copy right free sound effects,  and I was able to find and add amazing sound effects which completely changed my movie.

I layered two different electrical sound effects to create the perfect Zap and I also added ambient sound to really build up the horror/thriller aspect of the film and allow the audience to better understand that something is not right with Caroline.

Preview

here is a little preview of the opening:

the opening is still in the early stages of editing. we still have to add sound and other elements to really emphasize the genre and whats happening.

caro took this shot when caroline put in the colored contacts and her reaction to having the contacts in is hilarious:

im trying to see if i can incorporate some of this footage into our opening because it looks like she's in pain which is exactly how she should feel when she gets hacked.

WE FINISHED FILMING!!!!

So my group was finally able to get together and finish filming! Now all we need is to edit it together which we will do during class! The filming took about 2 hours so it wasn't that bad but again it was hard since none of us know how to act. I'm happy we finished because now I can focus on editing really well and we managed to fit everything in under two minutes. We also managed to use the contacts we had since no one ordered new ones and it still came out great. I can't include any videos because I'm posting from my phone cause I don't have my laptop but I will post some of the videos we took on my next post.

Changes

so my group has had a major set back. we are gonna have to re film everything we shot because we were editing and we realized that there a different elements in the background of our shots and the shots dont flow together. We have also decided to change parts of our story because we dont have time to shoot anything in school and we dont want to have different uncontrolled elements in our background.

our story still has the same basis. so its still the girl hacker who implants code into her bestfriend but we changed the way we are gonna show that. now our opening is going to start with me all dressed up and looking like the typical popular girl, im walking towards my bed with my phone and i face time caroline, we are talking about plans for tonight and im begging caroline to come out with me. then sometime in our call a shock will be sent through carolines headphones but the audience wont know if it was me who sent the signal. the signal then shocks caroline and she starts to feel drowsy and she tells me that she has to go to bed so then im like no why come out its friday and shes like no no i seriously dont feel well. and im like oh okay feel better and she hangs up. after she hangs up she goes to wash her face and when she looks up from washing her face her eyes change color. it then cuts to black and you see code being typed then you see the name of the movie. so the audience never finds out who was the hacker.
